Select the correct answer. This set of ordered pairs defines a function. {(-49,7), (-56,8), (-63,9), (-70,10)} Which table represents the inverse of the function defined by the ordered pairs? A.

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Shaquira has made 86  chocolate chip cookies and 42 sugar cookies.

Shaquira wants to create identical packages of cookies to sell, and she must use all of the cookies.

Now, the greatest number of identical packages that Shaquira can make= GCD of 86 and 42

Prime factorization of 86 and 42:

86 = 2 ×43

42 = 2 × 3 × 7

GCD of 86 and 42 = 2   [GCD = greatest common factor]

Hence, the greatest number of identical packages that Shaquira can make =2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the vertex form of the quadratic function below.

y = x^2 - 4x + 3

This quadratic equation is in the form y = a{x^2} + bx + cy=ax  

2

+bx+c. However, I need to rewrite it using some algebraic steps in order to make it look like this…

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

This is the vertex form of the quadratic function where \left( {h,k} \right)(h,k) is the vertex or the “center” of the quadratic function or the parabola.

Before I start, I realize that a = 1a=1. Therefore, I can immediately apply the “completing the square” steps.

STEP 1: Identify the coefficient of the linear term of the quadratic function. That is the number attached to the xx-term.

STEP 2: I will take that number, divide it by 22 and square it (or raise to the power 22).

STEP 3: The output in step #2 will be added and subtracted on the same side of the equation to keep it balanced.

Think About It: If I add 44 on the right side of the equation, then I am technically changing the original meaning of the equation. So to keep it unchanged, I must subtract the same value that I added on the same side of the equation.

STEP 4: Now, express the trinomial inside the parenthesis as a square of a binomial, and simplify the outside constants.

After simplifying, it is now in the vertex form y = a{\left( {x - h} \right)^2} + ky=a(x−h)  

2

+k where the vertex \left( {h,k} \right)(h,k) is \left( {2, - 1} \right)(2,−1).

Visually, the graph of this quadratic function is a parabola with a minimum at the point \left( {2, - 1} \right)(2,−1). Since the value of “aa” is positive, a = 1a=1, then the parabola opens in upward direction.

Example 2: Find the vertex form of the quadratic function below.

The approach to this problem is slightly different because the value of “aa” does not equal to 11, a \ne 1a  



​  

=1. The first step is to factor out the coefficient 22 between the terms with xx-variables only.

STEP 1: Factor out 22 only to the terms with variable xx.

STEP 2: Identify the coefficient of the xx-term or linear term.

STEP 3: Take that number, divide it by 22, and square.

STEP 4: Now, I will take the output {9 \over 4}  

4

9

​  

 and add it inside the parenthesis.

By adding {9 \over 4}  

4

9

​  

 inside the parenthesis, I am actually adding 2\left( {{9 \over 4}} \right) = {9 \over 2}2(  

4

9

​  

)=  

2

9

​  

 to the entire equation.

Why multiply by 22 to get the “true” value added to the entire equation? Remember, I factored out 22 in the beginning. So for us to find the real value added to the entire equation, we need to multiply the number added inside the parenthesis by the number that was factored out.

STEP 5: Since I added {9 \over 2}  

2

9

​  

 to the equation, then I should subtract the entire equation by {9 \over 2}  

2

9

​  

 also to compensate for it.

STEP 6: Finally, express the trinomial inside the parenthesis as the square of binomial and then simplify the outside constants. Be careful combining the fractions.

It is now in the vertex form y = a{\left( {x - h} \right)^2} + ky=a(x−h)  

2

+k where the vertex \left( {h,k} \right)(h,k) is \left( {{{ - \,3} \over 2},{{ - 11} \over 2}} \right)(  

2

−3

​  

,  

2

−11

​  

).

Example 3: Find the vertex form of the quadratic function below.

Solution:

Factor out - \,3−3 among the xx-terms.

The coefficient of the linear term inside the parenthesis is - \,1−1. Divide it by 22 and square it. Add that value inside the parenthesis. Now, figure out how to make the original equation the same. Since we added {1 \over 4}  

4

1

​  

 inside the parenthesis and we factored out - \,3−3 in the beginning, that means - \,3\left( {{1 \over 4}} \right) = {{ - \,3} \over 4}−3(  

4

1

​  

)=  

4

−3

​  

 is the value that we subtracted from the entire equation. To compensate, we must add {3 \over 4}  

4

3

​  

 outside the parenthesis.

Therefore, the vertex \left( {h,k} \right)(h,k) is \left( {{1 \over 2},{{11} \over 4}} \right)(  

2

​  

,  

4

11

​  

).

Example 4: Find the vertex form of the quadratic function below.

y = 5x^2 + 15x - 5  

Solution:

Factor out 55 among the xx-terms. Identify the coefficient of the linear term inside the parenthesis which is 33. Divide it by 22 and square to get {9 \over 4}  

4

9

​  

.

Add {9 \over 4}  

4

9

​  

 inside the parenthesis. Since we factored out 55 in the first step, that means 5\left( {{9 \over 4}} \right) = {{45} \over 4}5(  

4

9

​  

)=  

4

45

​  

 is the number that we need to subtract to keep the equation unchanged.

Express the trinomial as a square of binomial, and combine the constants to get the final answer.

Therefore, the vertex \left( {h,k} \right)(h,k) is {{ - \,3} \over 2},{{ - \,65} \over 4}

The coordinates of A'C'S'T' are;

A'(-7, 2)

C'(-9, -1)

S'(-7, -4)

T'(-5, -1)

The correct option is;

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the given quadrilateral are;

A(-3, 1)

C(-5, -2)

S(-3, -5)

T(-1, -2)

The required transformation is T₍₋₄, ₁₎ which is equivalent to a movement of 4 units in the leftward direction and 1 unit upward

Therefore, we have;

A(-3, 1) + T₍₋₄, ₁₎ = A'(-7, 2)

C(-5, -2) + T₍₋₄, ₁₎ = C'(-9, -1)

S(-3, -5) + T₍₋₄, ₁₎ = S'(-7, -4)

T(-1, -2) + T₍₋₄, ₁₎ = T'(-5, -1)

Therefore, the correct option is B

Answer:

3053.5517 cm^3 ; 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Volume (V) of sphere = (4/3)πr^3 where r = radius

Diameter of sphere = 18 ; radius(r) = diameter / 2 = 18/2 = 9cm

V = (4/3) × π × 9^3

V = 1.3333 × π × 729

V = 3053.5517 cm^3

When diameter(d) is reduced to half

d = d/2

Volume (V1) of sphere with diameter 'd' =

V1 = (4/3)π(d/2)^3

Volume (V2) of sphere with diameter 'd' reduced to half, d = d/2, d/2 * 1/2 = d/4

V2 = (4/3)π(d/4)^3

V1 / V2 = [(4/3)π(d/2)^3] / [(4/3)π(d/4)^3]

V1 / V2 = (d/2)^3 / (d/4)^3

V1 / V2 = [d^3 / 2^3] / [d^3 / 4^3]

V1 / V2 = 8 / 64

V1 / V2 = 1 / 8

Answer:

The correct option is;

B. s ≥ 12 - t, s ≤ 30 - t, s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of T-shirts, t, and shorts, s, Tim must design a day = 12

The maximum number of T-shirts and shorts Tim can design a day = 30

The maximum number of hours Tim can work = 18 hours

Therefore, we have;

The number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≥ The minimum number of T-shirts and shorts Tim must design a day less the number of T-shirts Tim designs

Which gives;

s ≥ 12 - t

Also the number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≤ The maximum number of T-shirts, and shorts, Tim can design a day less the number of T-shirts Tim designs

Which gives;

s ≤ 30 - t

The number of 45 minute period for the design of shorts in 18 hours = 18×60/45 = 24

The fraction of 36 minutes in 45 minutes = 36/45 = 0.667

Therefore we have;

The number of shorts Tim designs in a day is ≤ The number of 45 minute periods in 18 hours less the number of 36 minutes periods used to design T-shirts

Which gives;

s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t

The correct option is s ≥ 12 - t, s ≤ 30 - t, s ≤ 24 - 0.66·t.

Answer:

B. s> 12-tss 30 - t Ss 24 -0.66t, s 2 0; t> 0

Answer:

perimeter is  4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

area is 40 + 8pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a semicircle and a triangle

First the semicircle with diameter 8

A = 1/2 pi r^2 for a semicircle

r = d/2 = 8/2 =4

A = 1/2 pi ( 4)^2

  =1/2 pi *16

  = 8pi

Now the triangle with base 8 and height 10

A = 1/2 bh

  =1/2 8*10

  = 40

Add the areas together

A = 40 + 8pi cm^2

Now the perimeter

We have 1/2 of the circumference

1/2 C =1/2 pi *d

         = 1/2 pi 8

        = 4pi

Now we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangles

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

The base is 4 ( 1/2 of the diameter) and the height is 10

4^2 + 10 ^2 = c^2

16 + 100 = c^2

116 = c^2

sqrt(116) = c

2 sqrt(29) = c

Each hypotenuse is the same so we have

hypotenuse + hypotenuse + 1/2 circumference

2 sqrt(29) + 2 sqrt(29) + 4 pi

4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to deal with the half circle. The radius of this circle is 4, because the diameter is 8. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2piR.

2pi4 so the perimeter for the half circle would be 8pi/2.

The area of that half circle would be piR^2 so 16pi/2.

Now moving on the triangle part, we need to find the hypotenuse side of AC. We will use the pythagoram theorem. 4^2+10^2=C^2

16+100=C^2

116=C^2

C=sqrt(116)

making the perimeter of this triangle 2×sqrt(116)

The area of this triangle is 8×10=80, than divided by 2 which is equal to 40.

We than just need to add up the perimeters and areas for both the half circle and triangle.

The area would be equal to 8pi+40

The perimeter would be equal to 4pi+4(sqrt(29))

Answer:

The correct option is;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

(-1, -8), (0, -1), (1, 2), we have;

The general quadratic function;

f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c

From the given points, when x = -1, y = -8, which gives

-8 = a·(-1)² + b·(-1) + c = a - b + c

-8 =  a - b + c.....................................(1)

When x = 0, y = -1, which gives;

-1 = a·0² + b·0 + c = c

c = -1.....................................................(2)

When x = 1, y = 2, which gives;

2 = a·1² + b·1 + c = a + b + c...............(3)

Adding equation (1) to (3), gives;

-8 + 2 = a - b + c + a + b + c

-6 = 2·a + 2·c

From equation (2), c = -1, therefore;

-6 = 2·a + 2×(-1)

-2·a  = 2×(-1)+6 = -2 + 6 = 4

-2·a = 4

a = 4/-2 = -2

a = -2

From equation (1), we have;

-8 =  a - b + c = -2 - b - 1 = -3 - b

-8 + 3 = -b

-5 = -b

b = 5

The equation is therefore;

f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1

The correct option is f(x) = -2·x² + 5·x - 1.

Answer:

last option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the original angle x° and the radius of the circle y. The area of the original sector would be x / 360 * πy². The new angle, which is a 40% increase from x, can be represented as 1.4x so the area of the new sector is 1.4x / 360 * πy². Now, to find the corresponding change, we can calculate 1.4x / 360 * πy² ÷  x / 360 * πy² = (1.4x / 360 * πy²) * (360 * πy² / x). 360 * πy² cancels out so we're left with 1.4x / x which becomes 1.4, signifying that the area of the sector increases by 40%.

Answer:

n = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fraction:

[tex]$\frac{n}{n+101}$[/tex]

To find:

Smallest positive integer [tex]$n$[/tex] such that the fraction is equal to a terminating decimal.

Solution:

The rule that a fraction is equal to a terminating decimal states that, the denominator must contain factors of only 2 and 5.

i.e. Denominator must look like [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex], only then the fraction will be equal to a terminating decimal.

Now, let us have a look at the denominator, [tex]n+101[/tex]

Let us use hit and trial method to find the value of [tex]n[/tex] as positive integer.

n = 1, denominator becomes 102 = [tex]2 \times 3 \times 17[/tex] not of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

n = 4, denominator becomes 105 = [tex]5 \times 3 \times 7[/tex] not of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

n = 9, denominator becomes 110 = [tex]2 \times 5 \times 11[/tex] not of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

n = 14, denominator becomes 115 = [tex]5 \times 23[/tex] not of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

n = 19, denominator becomes 120 = [tex]5 \times 3 \times 2^3[/tex] not of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

n = 24, denominator becomes 125 = [tex]2^0 \times 5 ^3[/tex] It is of the form [tex]2^m\times 5^n[/tex].

So, the answer is n = 24

Answer:

a) Suzette ran for 4 hours

b) Suzette biked for 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is rate of distance traveled, it is the ratio of distance traveled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

The total distance ran and biked by Suzette (d) = 80 miles, while the total time ran and biked by Suzette (t) = 9 hours.

For running:

Her speed was 5 miles per hour, let the total hours Suzette ran be x and the total distance she ran be p, hence since Speed = distance / time, therefore:

5 = p / x

p = 5x

For biking:

Her speed was 12 miles per hour, let the total hours Suzette ran be y and the total distance she ran be q, hence since Speed = distance / time, therefore:

12 = q / y

q = 12y

The total distance ran and biked by Suzette (d) = Distance biked + distance ran

d = p + q

80 = p + q

80 = 5x + 12y                 (1)

The total time taken to run and bike by Suzette (t) = time spent to bike + time spent to run

t = x + y

9 = x + y                         (2)

Solving equation 1 and equation 2, multiply equation 2 by 5 and subtract from equation 1:

7y = 35

y = 35/7

y = 5 hours

Put y = 5 in equation 2:

9 = x + 5

x = 9 -5

x = 4 hours

a) Suzette ran for 4 hours

b) Suzette biked for 5 hours

Answer:

Difference : 4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do here is to factor the expression x² + 3x + 2. This will help us if it is similar to the factored expression " ( x + 2 )( x + 1 ). " The denominators will be the same, and hence we can combine the fractions.

x² + 3x + 2 - Break the expression into groups,

( x² + x ) + ( 2x + 2 ) - Factor x from x² + x and 2 from 2x + 2,

x( x + 1 ) + 2( x + 2 ) - Group,

( x + 2 )( x + 1 )

This is the same as the denominator of the other fraction, and therefore we can combine the fractions.

x - 1 / ( x + 2 )( x + 1 )

As you can see this is not any of the options present, as we have not expanded ( x + 2 )( x + 1 ). Remember previously that ( x + 2 )( x + 1 ) = x² + 3x + 2. Hence our solution is x - 1 / x² + 3x + 2, or option d.

Answer:

For "Negative 23 greater-than x" , highlight the left half of the number line starting at -23 and use a parenthesis ) on -23.

For "x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 23", highlight the right half of the number line starting at -23, and use a square bracket [ on -23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by locating the number -23 on the number line. Please see attached image to accompany the explanation.

In the first case:  "Negative 23 greater-than x" , which is expressed mathematically as:

[tex]-23 >x[/tex]

notice that "x" has to be strictly smaller than the number -23, therefore those sought x values must reside to the left of the number -23, so we have to highlight that half of the number line. Apart from that, we need to include a symbol on top of the number -23, that indicates that -23 itself shouldn't be considered as part of the set, that symbol is by convention a parenthesis ).

In the second case: "x greater-than-or-equal-to negative 23", which is expressed mathematically as:

[tex]x\geq -23[/tex]

notice that "x" has to be greater than or equal to the number -23, therefore those sought x values must reside to the right of the number -23, so we have to highlight that half of the number line. Apart from that, we need to include a symbol on top of the number -23, that indicates that -23 itself should be considered as part of the set, that symbol is by convention a square bracket [.

To start off, we know that whenever the bases are the same, their exponents are equal to each other. Therefore, since both of the numbers bases are the same (both are z), we know that they will be equal.

The n can be distributed to the [tex]z^2[/tex] so that it now reads to be:

[tex]z^2^n = z^{10}[/tex]

Exponents are equal, so:

2n=10

Divide the 2 on both sides:

n=5

Answer:

n =5

Step-by-step explanation:

z^2^n

We know that a^b^c = a^ (b*c)

z^(2n)

This is equal to z^10

Since the bases are the same, the exponents are the same

2n = 10

Divide by 2

2n/2 = 10/2

n = 5

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

All figures are squares. The area of a square is the side times itself

Let A be the area of the big square and A' the area of the small one in all the 5 exercices

51)

● (a) = A - A'

A = c^2 and A' = d^2

● (a) = c^2 - d^2

We can express this expression as a product.

● (b) = (c-d) (c+d)

52)

● (a) = A-A'

A = (2x)^2 = 4x^2 and A'= y^2

● (a) = 4x^2 - y^2

● (b) = (2x-y) ( 2x+y)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

53)

● (a) = A-A'

A = x^2 and A' = y^2

● (a) = x^2-y^2

● (b) = (x+y) (x-y)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

54)

● (a) = A-A'

A = (5a)^2 = 25a^2 and A' =(2b)^2= 4b^2

● (a) = 25a^2 - 4b^2

● (a) = (5a-2b) (5a+2b)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

55)

● (a) = A - 4A'

A = (3x)^2 = 9x^2 and A'= (2y)^2 = 4y^2

● (a) = 9x^2 - 4 × 4y^2

● (a) = 9x^2 - 16y^2

● (a) = (3x - 4y) (3x + 4y)
