Johnny tripled his baseball card collection. Then he added 6 more cards to the collection. Now he has 24 cards. How many cards did he start with?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backward.

If he has 24 after adding 6, he had 18 before that addition.

If he had 18 after tripling his collection, he had 18/3 = 6 cards to start with.

__

Note that this is the same process you would use if you started with an equation.

  3c +6 = 24 . . . . where c is the number of cards Johnny started with

  3c = 24 -6 = 18 . . . . . subtract 6 from the final number

  c = 18/3 = 6 . . . . . . . . divide the tripled value by 3 to see the original value

Johnny started with 6 cards.

The weight of an object above the surface of the Earth varies inversely with the square of the
distance from the center of the Earth. If a body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from
Earth's center, what would it weigh if it were 4,015 miles from Earth's center?

Answers

Answer:

weight =48.71228786pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]w = \frac{k}{ {d}^{2} } \\ 50 = \frac{k}{ {3960}^{2} } \\ \\ k = 50 \times {3960}^{2} \\ k = 50 \times 15681600 \\ k = 784080000 \\ \\ w = \frac{784080000}{ {d}^{2} } \\ w = \frac{784080000}{16120225} \\ \\ w = 48.71228786 \\ w = 48.7pounds[/tex]

If a body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from Earth's center, it would weigh approximately 48.547 pounds if it were 4,015 miles from Earth's center, according to the inverse square law formula.

We know the inverse square law formula:

W₁ / W₂ = D²₂ / D²₁

Where W₁ is the weight of the body at the initial distance D₁, and W₂ is the weight at the final distance D₂.

So we have,

W₁ = 50

D₁  = 3,960

D₂  = 4015

We know that the body weighs 50 pounds when it is 3,960 miles from Earth's center,

So we can plug in those values as follows:

50 / W₂ = (4,015)²/ (3,960)²

To solve for W₂, we can cross-multiply and simplify as follows:

W₂ = 50 x (3,960)² / (4,015)²

W₂ = 50 x 15,681,600 / 16,120,225

W₂ = 48.547 pounds (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, if the body were 4,015 miles from Earth's center, it would weigh approximately 48.547 pounds.

Answers

Answer:

V = 2143.57 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 pi r^3

The diameter is 16 so the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 8

V = 4/3 ( 3.14) (8)^3

V =2143.57333

Rounding to the nearest hundredth

V = 2143.57 cm^3

Answer:

2143.57 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * r^3

r = 1/2 * 16 = 8

So V = 4/3 * 3.14 * 8^3

= 2143.57 cm^3.

Find the absolute extrema of the function over the region R. (In each case, R contains the boundaries.) Use a computer algebra system to confirm your results. (Order your answers from smallest to largest x, then from smallest to largest y.)
f(x, y) = x2 − 4xy + 5
R = {(x, y): 1 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2}

Answers

f(x, y) = x ² - 4xy + 5

has critical points where both partial derivatives vanish:

f/∂x = 2x - 4y = 0   ==>   x = 2y

f/∂y = -4x = 0   ==>   x = 0   ==>   y = 0

The origin does not lie in the region R, so we can ignore this point.

Now check the boundaries:

• x = 1   ==>   f (1, y) = 6 - 4y

Then

max{f (1, y) | 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = 6 when y = 0

max{f (1, y) | 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = -2 when y = 2

• x = 4   ==>   f (4, y) = 12 - 16y

Then

max{f (4, y) | 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = 12 when y = 0

max{f (4, y) | 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = -4 when y = 2

• y = 0   ==>   f (x, 0) = x ² + 5

Then

max{f (x, 0) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4} = 21 when x = 4

min{f (x, 0) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4} = 6 when x = 1

• y = 2   ==>   f (x, 2) = x ² - 8x + 5 = (x - 4)² - 11

Then

max{f (x, 2) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4} = -2 when x = 1

min{f (x, 2) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4} = -11 when x = 4

So to summarize, we found

max{f(x, y) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = 21 at (x, y) = (4, 0)

min{f(x, y) | 1 ≤ x ≤ 4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2} = -11 at (x, y) = (4, 2)

Mr. E bought 3 drinks and 5 sandwiches for $25.05 and Mr. E bought 4 drinks and 2 sandwiches $13.80. how much does each drink cost?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

drink: $1.35sandwich: $4.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and s represent the cost of a drink and a sandwich, respectively. The two purchases give rise to the equations ...

  3d +5s = 25.05

  4d +2s = 13.80

Dividing the second equation by 2 gives ...

  2d + s = 6.90

Subtracting the first equation from 5 times this, we get ...

  5(2d +s) -(3d +5s) = 5(6.90) -25.05

  7d = 34.50 -25.05 = 9.45

  d = 1.35

The cost of each drink is $1.35.

__

Additional comment

Using the simplified 2nd equation, we can find the cost of a sandwich.

  s = 6.90 -2d = 6.90 -2.70 = 4.20

The cost of each sandwich is $4.20.

b. Establish H0 and H1 and note the level of significance.
c. Find the sample test statistic.
d. Find Critical Value.
e. Conclude the test and interpret results.

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The hypothesis :

H0 : σ²= 47.1

H1 : σ² > 47.1

α = 5% = 0.05

Population variance, σ² = 47.1

Sample variance, s² = 83.2

Sample size, n = 15

The test statistic = (n-1)*s²/σ²

Test statistic, T = [(15 - 1) * 83.2] ÷ 47.1

Test statistic = T = [(14 * 83.2)] * 47.1

Test statistic = 1164.8 / 47.1

Test statistic = 24.73

The degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 10 = 9

Critical value (0.05, 9) = 16.92 (Chisquare distribution table)

Reject H0 ; If Test statistic > Critical value

Since ; 24.73 > 16.92 ; Reject H0 and conclude that variance is greater.

Consider the probability that no more than 28 out of 304 students will not graduate on time. Choose the best description of the area under the normal curve that would be used to approximate binomial probability.

a. Area to the right of 27.5
b. Area to the right of 28.5
c. Area to the left of 27.5
d. Area to the left of 28.5
e. Area between 27.5 and 28.5

Answers

Solution :

Here the probability that exactly 28 out of 304 students will not graduate on time. That is

P (x = 28)

By using the normal approximation of binomial probability,

[tex]$P(x=a) = P(a-1/2 \leq x \leq a+1/2)$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$P(x=28) = P(28-1/2 \leq x \leq 28+1/2)$[/tex]

                   [tex]$=P(27.5 \leq x \leq 28.5)$[/tex]

That is the area between 27.5 and 28.5

Therefore, the correct option is (e). Area between 27.5 and 28.5

a farmer produced 47581 2 oranges of one kind and 651 65 oranges of another kind He mixed these oranges and packed in 296 boxes how many oranges did he pack in a box?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.

I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.

we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.

therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.

we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.

so,

475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges

he packs them into 296 boxes.

that makes

540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.

these are many oranges for one box in real life.

and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.

if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have

540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185

oranges left over.

in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.

Numbers of one kind oranges=475812

No of other kind oranges=65165

Total oranges

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 475812+65165=540977[/tex]

Total boxes=296

Oranges per box:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{540977}{296}=1827.6[/tex]
