(D) 1
(E) 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distributive property we have ax+a+bx-b-2=0. because the equation is true for all real x, ax=-bx. this means a-b-2=0 and a=-b. a-b-2=0 becomes a=b+2. then we substitute a for -b and get -b=b+2 which becomes 2b=-2 so b=-1. since a=-b, a=1

What is 3.142857 rounded three decimal places

Answers

Answer:

3.143

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're rounded it to the third decimal, you look at the fourth one. And since the fourth one is 8, ur going round 2, which is the third decimal to 3.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, to round three decimal place, we need to count three numbers after the dot.

Here..

the three numbers are 142

so after that we round it, so first of all we ignore 1 and, and focus on the number 2 and 4.

and if the number is below 5, it is rounded to the last number, but if the number is 5 or more than it, then we round it to the next number.

For example

142 - here we have 2, which is below 5, so we round it to '140'

where as if we have..

147 - here we have 7, which is above 7, so we round it to '150'

____________________________________________________________

So in this problem we round 142, so the number 2 is below 5 so it is round to 140

therefore the answer is - 3.14

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 13x=65[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{65}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=5[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x=5}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to solve for x.

We are given a pair of intersecting lines and 2 angles measuring (13x+19)° and 84°. The angles are opposite each other, so they are vertical angles. This means they are congruent or have the same angle measure.

Since the 2 angles are congruent, we can set them equal to each other.

[tex](13x+19)=84[/tex]

Solve for x by isolating the variable. This is done by performing inverse operations.

19 is being added to 13x. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtract 19 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]13x+19-19= 84 -19[/tex]

[tex]13x= 84 -19[/tex]

[tex]13x=65[/tex]

x is being multiplied by 13. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 13.

[tex]\frac {13x}{13}= \frac{65}{13}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{65}{13}[/tex]

[tex]x= 5[/tex]

For this pair of vertical angles, x is equal to 5.

If 2x - 5y – 7 = 0 is perpendicular to the line ax - y - 3 = 0 what is the value of a ?

A) a =2/3

B) a =5/2

C) a = -2/3

D) a = -5/2

Answers

Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

a store sign reads "Take 75% of the original price when you take an additional 15% off the sale price, which is 60% off the original price." Is the stores sign accurate?

Answers

Answer:

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

First take 60 percent off

x - x*60% = new price

x- .60x = .40x

The new price is .40x

Then take 15 % off

(.40x) - (.40x)*15%

.40x - .40x*.15

.40x - .06x

.34x

100 -.34 =.66

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

1
C
D. There is no real solution.

Answers

I believe the question is:

What is the solution to 5x + 1 +9 - 3

In this case, we solve for X.

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

5x + 10 - 3

5x + 7

5x = -7

x = -7/5

Unfortunately, It is not one of the answer choices it looks like.

Maybe you should reword your question but hopefully this is correct.

If you meant to say 5x+1 + 9 < 3 --> 5x + 10 < 3 --> 5x < -7 --> x < -7/5

The value of x in a given expression is -7/5.

We have given that,

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

We have to determine the value of x.

What is the variable?

A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. Scientists try to figure out how the natural world works

In this case, we solve for X.

5x + 1 + 9 - 3

5x + 10 - 3

5x + 7

5x = -7

x = -7/5

If you meant to say 5x+1 + 9 < 3 --> 5x + 10 < 3 --> 5x < -7 --> x < -7/5.

Therefore we get the value of x is -7/5.

On the first day of a two-day meeting, 10 coffees and 10 doughnuts were purchased for a total of $20.00. Since nobody drank the coffee and all the doughnuts were eaten, the next day only 2 coffees and 14 doughnuts were purchased for a total of $13.00. How much did each coffee and each doughnut cost?

Answers

Answer:

1.25 dollars- the value of each coffee

0.75 dollars- the value of each doughnut

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that value of one coffee is x dollars, when one doughnut costs y dollars. The value o 10 coffee is 10x, when 10 doughnuts cost 10y. The sum is 10x+10y and it is 20.

10x+10y= 20 (we can divide each part by 10)

x+y=2

2coffee cost  2x, 14 doughnuts cost 14y

2x+14y=13 (it can be divided by two)

x+7y=6.5

We have the system of equations x+y=2,  x+7y=6.5

Subtract the first equation from the second one (the left side of the first equation from the left side

x+7y - (x+y)= 6.5-2

6y=4.5

y=4.5/6= 3/4 = 0.75 dollars- the value of each doughnut

x=2-0.75=1.25 dollars- the value of each coffee

The given equation is:

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} - 5= x - 8[/tex]

First, we determine the solutions

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} - 5= x - 8[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} = x - 8 + 5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} = x - 3[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex]x - 1 = x^2- 6x + 9[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x^2 - 6x - x + 9 + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0[/tex]

The function y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1 has a phase shift (or horizontal shift) of

A) –2π∕3
B) 3
C) 1
D) 2

Answers

Answer:

-2pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1

y = A sin(B(x + C)) + D  

amplitude is A

period is 2π/B

phase shift is C (positive is to the left)

vertical shift is D

We have a shift to the left of 2 pi /3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cosine function has the form:

[tex]\displaystyle y = a\cos (b(x-c)) + d[/tex]

Where |a| is the amplitude, 2π / b is the period, c is the phase shift, and d is the vertical shift.

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle y = 2 \cos 3\left(x + \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + 1[/tex]

We can rewrite this as:

[tex]\displaystyle y = \left(2\right)\cos 3\left(x - \left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right) + 1[/tex]

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3, c = -2π/3, and d = 1.

Our phase shift is represented by c. Thus, the phase shift is -2π/3.

Our answer is A.

Options:
A.) 88.2 < μ < 93.0
B.) 88.4 < μ < 92.8
C.) 89.1 < μ < 92.1
D.) 88.8 < μ < 92.4

Answers

Answer: Choice A.)   88.2 < μ < 93.0

=============================================================

Explanation:

We have this given info:

n = 92 = sample sizexbar = 90.6 = sample meansigma = 8.9 = population standard deviationC = 99% = confidence level

Because n > 30 and because we know sigma, this allows us to use the Z distribution (aka standard normal distribution).

At 99% confidence, the z critical value is roughly z = 2.576; use a reference sheet, table, or calculator to determine this.

The lower bound of the confidence interval (L) is roughly

L = xbar - z*sigma/sqrt(n)

L = 90.6 - 2.576*8.9/sqrt(92)

L = 88.209757568781

L = 88.2

The upper bound (U) of this confidence interval is roughly

U = xbar + z*sigma/sqrt(n)

U = 90.6 + 2.576*8.9/sqrt(92)

U = 92.990242431219

U = 93.0

Therefore, the confidence interval in the format (L, U) is approximately (88.2, 93.0)

When converted to L < μ < U format, then we get approximately 88.2 < μ < 93.0 which shows that the final answer is choice A.

We're 99% confident that the population mean mu is somewhere between 88.2 and 93.0
