Answer:
8 M&Ms and 9 Candy Bars
Step-by-step explanation:
$15 dollars could buy 15 candy bars, and there are 17 pieces of candy total.
Prioritizing the number of bars:
0.75 * 2 = 1.50
1.50 * 2 = 3
At least $3 were spend on M&Ms, meaning 4 M&Ms and 12 candy bars, which is only 16 candy pieces...
8 M&Ms and 9 candy bars is equivalent to 17 total candy pieces.

Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = X^2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = -x^2 +16x - 44
Answer: First a horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's construct g(x) in baby steps.
Ok, we start with f(x) = x^2
The first thing we have is a horizontal translation of A units (where A is not known)
A vertical translation of N units to the right, is written as:
g(x) = f(x - N)
Then we have:
g(x) = (x - A)^2 = x^2 - 2*A*x + A^2
Now, you can see that actually g(x) has a negative leading coefficient, which means that we also have an inversion over the x-axis.
Remember that if we have a point (x, y), a reflection over the x-axis transforms our point into (x, -y)
Then if we apply also a reflection over the x-axis, we have:
g(x) = -f(x - A) = -x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 = -x^2 + 16*x - 44
Then:
2*A = 16
A*A = 44.
The first equation says that A = 16/2 = 8
But 8^2 is not equal to 44.
Then we need another constant coefficient, which is related to a vertical translation.
If we have a relation y = f(x), a vertical translation of N units up, will be
y = f(x) + N.
Then:
g(x) = -f(x - A) + B
-x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 + B = x^2 + 16*x - 44
Now we have:
2*A = 16
-A^2 + B = - 44
From the first equation we have A = 8, now we replace it in the second equation and get:
-8^2 + B = -44
B = -44 + 64 = 20
Then we have:
The transformation is:
First an horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 80 inches, if the width is 18 inches what is the area of the rectangle? A.22 sq.in B.324 sq.in C.396 sq.in D.6,400 sq.in
Answer:
396 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula:
● P = 2w+2L
L is the length and w is the width
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The width hereis 18 inches and the perimeter is 80 inches.
Replace w by 18 and P by 80 to find L.
● P= 2L+2w
● 80 = 2L + 2×18
● 80 = 2L + 36
Substrat 36 from both sides
● 80-36 = 2L+36-36
●44 = 2L
Divide both sides by 2
● 44/2 = 2L/2
● 22 = L
So the length is 22 inches
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
● A= L×w
● A = 22×18
● A = 396 in^2
A string passing over a smooth pulley carries a stone at one end. While its other end is attached to a vibrating tuning fork and the string vibrates forming 8 loops. When the stone is immersed in water 10 loops are formed. The specific gravity of the stone is close to
A) 1.8
B) 4.2
C) 2.8
D) 3.2
Answer:
correct option is C) 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
string vibrates form = 8 loops
in water loop formed = 10 loops
solution
we consider mass of stone = m
string length = l
frequency of tuning = f
volume = v
density of stone = [tex]\rho[/tex]
case (1)
when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2}[/tex]
so here
[tex]l = \frac{8 \lambda _1}{2}[/tex] ..............1
[tex]l = 4 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{4}[/tex]
and we know velocity is express as
velocity = frequency × wavelength .....................2
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{mass\ per\ unit \length }}[/tex] = f × [tex]\lambda_1[/tex]
here tension = mg
so
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{mg}{\mu}}[/tex] = f × [tex]\lambda_1[/tex] ..........................3
and
case (2)
when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2}[/tex]
[tex]l = \frac{10 \lambda _1}{2}[/tex] ..............4
[tex]l = 5 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{5}[/tex]
when block is immersed
equilibrium eq will be
Tenion + force of buoyancy = mg
T + v × [tex]\rho[/tex] × g = mg
and
T = v × [tex]\rho[/tex] - v × [tex]\rho[/tex] × g
from equation 2
f × [tex]\lambda_2[/tex] = f × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{v\rho _{stone} g - v\rho _{water} g}{\mu}} = f \times \frac{1}{5}[/tex] .......................5
now we divide eq 5 by the eq 3
[tex]\sqrt{\frac{vg (\rho _{stone} - \rho _{water})}{\mu vg \times \rho _{stone}}} = \frac{fl}{5} \times \frac{4}{fl}[/tex]
solve irt we get
[tex]1 - \frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{16}{25}[/tex]
so
relative density [tex]\frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{25}{9}[/tex]
relative density = 2.78 ≈ 2.8
so correct option is C) 2.8
Given the two functions, which statement is true?
fx = 3^4, g(x) = 3^x + 5
Answer:
third option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)
• If c > 0 then shift up by c units
• If c < 0 then shift down by c units
Given
g(x) = [tex]3^{x}[/tex] + 5 ← this represents a shift up of 5 units
Thus g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated up by 5 units
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf{Option \: 3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) is translated up 5 units compared to f(x). In a vertical translation, when the graph is moved 5 units up, 5 is added to the function. When the graph is moved 5 units down, 5 is subtracted from the function. The graphs are shifted in the direction of the y-axis.
A European study of thousands of men found that the PSA screening for prostate cancer reduced the risk of a man’s dying from prostate cancer from 3.0 percent to 2.4 percent. "But it’s already a small risk. I don’t think a difference of less than 1 percent would be of practical importance," said Ed. Do you agree with Ed’s conclusion?
Answer:
Following are the answer to this question:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given statement, we don't agree with Ed’s conclusion, because it is not relevant simply since it is not statistically significant. The reduction of prostate cancer is the death risk, which is highly significant even if it decreases significantly. It can also be something statistically important without becoming important.

Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{B=6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
They are two way to solution.
METHOD 1:Factor the polynomial on the left side of the equation:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x^2+2xy-24y^2)=2(x^2+6xy-4xy-24y^2)\\\\=2\bigg(x(x+6y)-4y(x+6y)\bigg)=2(x+6y)(x-4y)[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x+By)(x-4y)\\\Downarrow\\2(x+6y)(x-4y)=2(x+By)(x-4y)\to\boxed{\bold{B=6}}[/tex]
METHOD 2:Multiply everything on the right side of the equation using the distributive property and FOIL:
[tex]2(x+By)(x-4y)=\bigg((2)(x)+(2)(By)\bigg)(x-4y)\\\\=(2x+2By)(x-4y)=(2x)(x)+(2x)(-4y)+(2By)(x)+(2By)(-4y)\\\\=2x^2-8xy+2Bxy-8By^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2[/tex]
Compare polynomials:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2[/tex]
From here we have two equations:
[tex]2B-8=4\ \text{and}\ -8B=-48[/tex]
[tex]1)\\2B-8=4[/tex] add 8 to both sides
[tex]2B=12[/tex] divide both sides by 2
[tex]B=6[/tex]
[tex]2)\\-8B=-48[/tex] divide both sides by (-8)
[tex]B=6[/tex]
The results are the same. Therefore B = 6.

= 7.2 melo(unit of measurement)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the robot and Jo is 5 melo( unit Of measurement)
Let the distance between the flying object and the ground= y
Let's the remaining length of the closest between robot and Jonny and the ground be x.
Y/(x+5)= tan 29.... equation 1
Y/x= tan 42.... equation 2
Equating the value of y
Tan 29(x+5) = tan42(x)
Tan29/tan 42 = x/(x+5)
0.61562(x+5)= x
3.0781= x- 0.61562x
3.0781= 0.38438x
3.0781/0.38438= x
8.008= x
8= x
Y/x= tan 42
Y/8= 0.9004
Y= 7.203
Y= 7.2 melo (unit of measurement )

Find the distance between (8,4) and (8,8).
Answer:
From the given points above, the distance between them is 4 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the distance between the two points, we must know the distance formula.
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Now, we plug in our numbers from the coordinate points that we are given to their respectful places.
[tex]d=\sqrt{(8-8)^2+(8-4)^2}[/tex]
Now, we solve. First, simplify the terms in parentheses. So, subtract 8 from 8 and subtract 4 from 8.
[tex]d=\sqrt{(0)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]
Next, solve for the exponents.
[tex]d=\sqrt{0+16}[/tex]
Add the numbers in the radical.
[tex]d=\sqrt{16}[/tex]
Solve the radical.
[tex]d=4[/tex]
So, the distance between the two given points is 4 units.

Heidi bought a machine that throws tennis balls for her dog to fetch. The height of each ball thrown by the machine, in feet, is modeled by the function f(x) = –x2 + x + 2, where x represents time in seconds. How many seconds after the machine throws the ball does it hit the ground?
Answer:
2 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]f(x) = -x^2 + x + 2[/tex]
Where f(x) represents the height of each ball thrown by machine.
and x represents the time in seconds.
To find:
The number of seconds after which the machine throws the balls hits the ground = ?
Solution:
In other words, we have to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] after which the [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]
(Because when the ball hits the ground, the height becomes 0).
Let us put [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex] and solve for [tex]x[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - 2x+x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x(x - 2)+1(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow x =-1, 2[/tex]
[tex]x=-1[/tex] sec is not a valid answer because time can not be negative.
So, the answer is after 2 seconds, the ball hits the ground.
Use the graph of f to estimate the local maximum and local minimum. Local maximum: (0,1); local minimum: three pi over two, negative 1 and negative pi, negative 1 Local maximum: (0,0) and approx (0,1); local minimum: negative three pi over two, negative 1 Local maximum: (0,0); local minimum: three pi over two, negative 1 Local maximum: (0,1); local minimum: approx. (0,0) and three pi over two, negative 1
Answer:
The answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Local maximums are whenever the graph reaches it's highest y value.
Local minimums are whenever the graph reaches it's lowest y value.
From the graph, we can see that the maximum y-value the graph reaches is y=1. And this happens when x=0.
This only happens once (from the graph shown). Thus, the local maximum would be:
[tex](0,1)[/tex]
The minimum values we can see from the graph is at y=-1. This happens twice from the graph, once at -π and again at 3π/2.
Thus, the local minimums are:
[tex](-\pi,-1), (3\pi/2,-1)[/tex]
A movie theater is having a special. If a group of four pays $7.25 each for tickets, each person can get popcorn and a drink for $5.75. Use the expression 4(5.75 + 7.25) to find the total cost for 4 friends.
Answer:
The price for 4 people is 52 dollars.
4 × (5.75 + 7.25) = 52
The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition.
How to form an equation?Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.
In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.
Cost of movie ticket = $7.25/person
Cost of popcorn and drink = $5.75/person
Total cost per person = 5.75 + 7.25 = $13
Now,
Number of people = 4
So,
4(5.75 + 7.25) = 4(13) = $52
Hence "The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition".

A ladder 10 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower end is being moved away from the wall at the rate of 6 ft/sec, how fast is the height of the top changing (this will be a negative rate) when the lower end is 6 feet from the wall?
Answer:
-4.5ft per sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).
This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft
We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec
According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is
(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2
When we differentiate both sides of the equation
2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0
dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)
y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft
So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec
It is a negative rate

so that means each division is $\frac{3.3-3.2}{10}=0.01$
A is the 3rd division after $3.2$, So A is $3.2+3\times0.01=3.23$
similarly, C is 3 division behind $3.2$ so it will be $3.17$
and B is $3.34$
A represents the decimal 3.23
B represents the decimal 3.34
C represents the decimal 3.17
Calculating the decimal values:We can see that there are 10 divisions between 3.2 and 3.3.
The difference between the two points for 10 divisions is 3.3 -3.2 = 0.1 unit.
Therefore, one division will be equal to 0.1/10 = 0.01 unit
So, point A is 3 divisions after 3.2, thus
A = 3.2 + 0.01×3
A = 3.23
Similarly,
B = 3.3 + 0.01×4
B = 3.34
And,
C = 3.2 - 0.01×3
C = 3.17

There are 8 books needing re-shelving in a library where 65% of the library's collection consists of reference books. Let X be the number of reference books a student helper re-shelves out of the 8 on her cart. a) What is the probability that all 8 of them are reference books
Answer:
0.0319
Step-by-step explanation:
To approximate this probability, we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial distribution.
Let p = probability of selecting a reference book = 65% = 0.65
Let q = probability of selecting other books= 1-p = 1-0.65 = 0.35
Now, we want to find the probability that all of these 8 books to be re-shelved are reference book.
We set up the probability as follows;
P(X = 8) = 8C8 •p^8•q^0
P(X = 8) = 1 * (0.65)^8 * (0.35)^0
P(X = 8) = 0.031864481289 which is 0.0319 to 4 decimal places
