Policeman A and Policeman B hand out 70 speeding tickets in a month.
Policeman A hands out 4 times as many speeding tickets as Policeman B.
Policeman A handed out ? Speeding tickets.
Answer:
Policeman A = 56 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Policemen A + B = 70
If Policeman B hands out x no of tickets...
Then Policeman A hands out 4x no of tickets
meaning...
x + 4x = 70
5x = 70
x = 70/5
x = 14
Therefore Policeman A hands out..
4x = 4 × 14 = 56 tickets
Find the inverse of the following function.
Answer:
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 8 sqrt(x)
y = 8 sqrt(x)
Exchange x and y
x = 8 sqrt (y)
Solve for y
Divide each side by 8
1/8 x = sqrt(y)
Square each side
(1/8 x)^2 = (sqrt(y))^2
1/64 x^2 = y
The inverse is 1/64 x^2 = y x ≥ 0
since x ≥0 in the original function

The larger metallic object is initially at rest, so the velocity is 0 when t = 0. The speed changes after t = 3 seconds.
Answer:
It would be the last one.
Step-by-step explanation:
It says the object is initially at rest, so you look for a table with 0 m/s and you find the last table had been at rest for 0 -2 seconds. The small rocky object initially had a speed of 90 m/s and then decreased to 36 m/s as its energy transferred to the metallic object. The metallic object's speed from time 4-6s with the small rocky object equals the small rocky initial speed.
Rocky Object initial speed = 90 m/s
Rocky Object new speed = 36 m/s
Large metallic object speed after collision = 64 m/s.
64 m/s + 36 m/s = 90 m/s
Large metallic object speed after collision + Rocky Object new speed
= Rocky Object initial speed
You can also test this for kinetic energy.

A number is chosen at random from the set of consecutive natural numbers $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}$. What is the probability that the number chosen is a factor of $4!$? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Answer:
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Set:\ \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Set) = 24[/tex]
Required
Determine the probability of selecting a factor of 4!
First, we have to calculate 4!
[tex]4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1[/tex]
[tex]4! = 24[/tex]
Then, we list set of all factors of 24
[tex]Factors:\ \{1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24\}[/tex]
[tex]n(Factors) = 8[/tex]
The probability of selecting a factor if 24 is calculated as:
[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Factor)}{n(Set)}[/tex]
Substitute values for n(Set) and n(Factors)
[tex]Probability = \frac{8}{24}[/tex]
Simplify to lowest term
[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week
Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
If (x - 2) and (x + 1) are factors of
x + px? + qx + 1, what is the sum of p and q?
Answer:
p + q = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to take the original equation, and factor it to a form that's easier to get two binomial factors from (i.e., let's get a quadratic):
x^3 + px^2 + qx + 1
= x (x^2 + px + q) + 1
Now that we have factored out the x, we have a quadratic trinomial which we know can be broken down into two linear binomials. The problem gives us two linear binomials, so let's take a look.
(x - 2) (x + 1) = (x^2 + px + q)
x^2 - 2x + x -2 = x^2 + px + q
Now let's solve.
x^2 - x - 2 = x^2 + px + q
-x - 2 = px + q
From here, we can easily see that p = -1 (the coefficient of x) and q = -2.
Hence, p + q = -1 + -2 = -3.

A museum curator is hanging 7 paintings in a row for an exhibit. There are 4 Renaissance paintings and 3 Baroque paintings. From left to right, all of the Renaissance paintings will be hung first, followed by all of the Baroque paintings. How many ways are there to hang the paintings
Answer:
144 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of paintings = 7
Renaissance = 4
Baroque = 3
We are hanging from left to right and we will first hang Renaissance painting before baroque painting.
For Renaissance we have 4! Ways of doing so. 4 x3x2x1 = 24
For baroque we have 3! Ways of doing so. 3x2x1 = 6
We have 4!ways x 3!ways
= (4x3x2x1) * (3x2x1) ways
= 144 ways
Therefore we have 144 ways to hang the painting.
Find all values of x on the graph of f(x) = 2x3 + 6x2 + 7 at which there is a horizontal tangent line.
Answer:
the equation is not correct, u have to write like
ax'3+bx'2+cx+d
Answer:
x=-2 and x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
So I know it isn't x=-3 and x=0. So my guess is that it is x=0 and x=-2 and heres why.
First, I find the derivative of f(x)=2x^3+6x^2+7 which is 6x^2+12x
Then, I plugged in all the values of x's I had and I found out that you get 0 for -2 and 0 when you plug them in
So, in conclusion I believe the answer to be x=-2 and x=0
A low-noise transistor for use in computing products is being developed. It is claimed that the mean noise level will be below the 2.5-dB level of products currently in use. It is believed that the noise level is approximately normal with a standard deviation of .8. find 95% CI
Answer:
The 95% CI is [tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean [tex]\mu = 2.5[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 0.8[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of confidence is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]
=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the values is [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
here we would assume that the sample size is n = 16 since the person that posted the question did not include the sample size
So
[tex]E = 1.96* \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{16} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.392[/tex]
The 95% CI is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.5 - 0.392 < \mu < 2.5 + 0.392[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]2.108 < \mu < 2.892[/tex]
The value of y varies jointly with x and z. If y = 7 when z = 196 and x = 2, find the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336. I will rate you brainliest
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
y∞ xz
y=kxz. Where k is constant
When z=196 and x= 2 then y= 7
7=(196)(2)k
7=392k
k=1/56
There fore y=(1/56)xz
When x=3 and z =336
y=(1/56)xz
y=(1/56)(336)(3)
y=18
if value of y varies jointly with x and z. If y = 7 when z = 196 and x = 2 then the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336 is 18.
What is Ratio?A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.
Value of y varies jointly with x and z.
y ∞ xz
y=kxz.
Where k is constant
When z=196 and x= 2 then y= 7
Let us find the value of k
7=(196)(2)k
7=392k
Divide both sides by 7
k=1/56
y=(1/56)xz
When x=3 and z =336
y=(1/56)xz
y=(1/56)(336)(3)
y=18
Hence, the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336 is 18.

A sports club was formed in the month of May last year. The function below, M(t), models the number of club members for the first 10 months, where t represents the number of months since the club was formed in May. m(t)=t^2-6t+28 What was the minimum number of members during the first 10 months the club was open? A. 19 B. 28 C. 25 D. 30
Answer:
A: 19
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, we can complete the square. We first look at the first 2 terms,
t^2 and -6t.
We know that [tex](t-3)^2[/tex] will include terms.
[tex](t-3)^2 = t^2 - 6t + 9[/tex]
But [tex](t-3)^2[/tex] will also add 9, so we can subtract 9. Putting this into the equation, we get:
[tex]m(t) = (t-3)^2 - 9 +28[/tex]
[tex]m(t) = (t-3)^2 +19[/tex]
Using the trivial inequality, which states that a square of a real number must be positive, we can say that in order to have the minimum number of members, we need to make (t-3) = 0. Luckily, 3 months is in our domain, which means that the minimum amount of members is 19.
The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. A paper described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children ages 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors conclude that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.5 mm and a standard deviation of 4.8 mm.
Required:
a. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters less than 24 mm?
b. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm?
c. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm?
d. For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter?
Answer:
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b) P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) z(s) = 0,84
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Distribution N ( μ₀ ; σ ) is N ( 26,5 ; 4,8 )
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ
P [ X < 24 mm ] = (24 - 26,5)/ 4,8 = - 0,5208 ≈ - 0,52
P [ X < 24 mm ] = - 0,52
And from z-table we find area for z score
P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b)P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - P [ X < 32 mm ]
P [ X < 32 mm ] = ( 32 - 26,5 ) / 4,8
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 5,5/4,8 = 1,1458 ≈ 1,15
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 1,15
And from z-table we get
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 0,8749
Then:
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - 0,8749
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = P [ X < 30 ] - P [ X < 25 ]
P [ X < 30 ] = 30 - 26,5 / 4,8 = 0,73
From z-table P [ X < 30 ] = 0,7673
P [ X < 25 ] = 25 - 26,5 / 4,8 = - 0,3125 ≈ - 0,31
From z-table P [ X < 25 ] = 0,2709
Then
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,7673 - 0,2709
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) If 20 %
z- score for 20% is from z-table

Compute the flux of the vector field LaTeX: \vec{F}=F → =< y + z , x + z , x + y > though the unit cubed centered at origin.
Assuming the cube is closed, you can use the divergence theorem:
[tex]\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm dS=\iiint_T\mathrm{div}\vec F\,\mathrm dV[/tex]
where [tex]S[/tex] is the surface of the cube and [tex]T[/tex] is the region bounded by [tex]S[/tex].
We have
[tex]\mathrm{div}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(y+z)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y)}{\partial z}=0[/tex]

is this a function {(-2, 6), (-3, 7), (-4, 8), (-3, 10)}
No, that is not a function.
To be a function, each different input (x) needs a different output (y)
In the given function there are two -3’s as inputs and they have different y values, so it can’t be a function.
Answer: no
Step-by-step explanation: To determine if a relation is a function, take a look at the x–coordinate of each ordered pair. If the x–coordinate is different in each ordered pair, then the relation is a function.
Note that the only exception to this would be that if the x-coordinate pairs up with the same y-coordinate in a relation more than once, it's still classified ad a function.
Ask yourself, do any of the ordered pairs
in this relation have the same x-coordinate?
Well by looking at this relation, we can see that two
of the ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate.
In this case, the x-coordinate of 3 appears twice.
So no, this relation is not a function.
The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?
Question options :
A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
u< 99.
Answer:
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
Step-by-step explanation:
We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim
The n*ll hypothesis :H0
The alternative hypothesis : Ha
N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99
Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99
So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99
we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99
What is the solution to 5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3) ? Group of answer choices -12 6 0 -16
Answer:
x = 0Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)
Multiply the terms in the bracket
5x - 15 = - 20x - 15
Group like terms
Send the constants to the right side of the line and those with variables to the left side
That's
5x + 20x = - 15 + 15
Simplify
25x = 0
Divide both sides by 25
We have the final answer as
x = 0Hope this helps you
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)
To find the solution to this equation, we have to get x by itself on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 5 on the right side. Multiply each term by 5.
5x - 15= (5*-4x) + (5*-3)
5x-15 = -20x + (5*-3)
5x-15= -20x -15
Next, add 20x to both sides of the equation.
(5x+20x) -15 = (-20x+20x) -15
(5+20x) -15 = -15
25x -15=-15
Next, add 15 to both sides of the equation.
25x -15 +15 = -15+15
25x= -15+15
25x=0
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 25.
25x/25=0/25
x= 0/25
x= 0
The solution to this equation is x=0

You can try to use the calculator to determine the best line for the values given; you will se that the calculator form, for the linear function is
y = a + bx, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope.
To determine the slope, we apply a formula, to calculate the product of the two xy and, x², plus the sum of each column.
x y xy x²
1 . 11 = 11 → x² = 1² = 1
2 . 8 = 16 → x² = 2² = 4
3 . 4 = 12 → x² = 3² = 9
4 . 1 = 4 → x² = 4² = 16
5 . 0 = 0 → x² = 5² = 25
Total x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Total y = 11 + 8 + 4+ 1 + 0 = 24
Sum of xy = 11 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 0 = 43
Sum of x² = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 = 55
n = 5
So b = 5 (43) - (15) . (24) / 5 (55) - 15² = -2.9
a = y media - b . x media → a = 24/5 - (-2.9) . 15/5 = 13.5
Question
The point (-2,r) lies on the graph of 2x + y = 7 in the xy-plane. What is the value of r?
Answer: r = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the point (-2, r) lies on the graph of:
2*x + y = 7.
Then, if we that point is on the graph of the equation, we can replace the values and we will have:
2*(-2) + r = 7
and now we solve this for r-
-4 + r = 7
r = 7 + 4 = 11
r = 11
The size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches. The aspect ratio of the screens of older televisions is 4:3, while the aspect ratio of newer wide-screen televisions is 16:9. Find the width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Answer:
The Width = 28 inches
The Height = 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3
Using Pythagoras Theorem
Width² + Height² = Diagonal²
Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.
Hence, for this new TV
Width² + Height² = 35²
We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio
Width = 4x
Height = 3x
(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²
= 16x² + 9x² = 35²
25x² = 1225
x² = 1225/25
x² = 49
x = √49
x = 7
Hence, for the 35 inch tv set
The Width = 4x
= 4 × 7
= 28 inches.
The Height = 3x
= 3 × 7
= 21 inches

For some postive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770. The value of Z is
Answer:
1.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
For some positive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770.
This implies that:
P(0<Z<z) = 0.3770
P(Z < z)-P(Z < 0) = 0.3770
P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + P(Z < 0)
From the standard normal tables , P(Z < 0) =0.5
P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + 0.5
P(Z < z) = 0.877
SO to determine the value of z for which it is equal to 0.877, we look at the
table of standard normal distribution and locate the probability value of 0.8770. we advance to the left until the first column is reached, we see that the value was 1.1. similarly, we did the same in the upward direction until the top row is reached, the value was 0.06. The intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z. (i.e 1.1 + 0.06 =1.16)
therefore, P(Z ≤ 1.16 ) = 0.877

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Least to greatest: -2/12 , -0.1 , 1/9
Greatest to least: 1/9, -0.1, -2/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Change all of the numbers so that they are either fractions or decimals. Usually it is easier to change all the numbers to decimal.
Divide:
1/9 = ~0.111 (rounded)
-0.1 = -0.1
-2/12 = - ~0.167 (rounded)
Put the numbers in number order:
-~0.167 , -0.1 , ~0.111
-2/12 , -0.1 , 1/9

You meet with the financial aid office to discuss your costs for attending LSU next semester.Tuition is $113.67 per credit hour, and fees are a flat rate of $660. You have a grant of $350 and a scholarship of $400. If you are taking 15 credit hours what amount will you need go pay for your classes next semester?

Answer:
$1615.05Step-by-step explanation:
Scholarship and grants are money given to the candidates to support his financial needs in school. It will serves as the means of revenue for the student.
Revenue generated = Grant + Scholarship amount
Revenue generated = $350 + $400
Revenue generated= $750
Total money needed to be spent in school = Tuition + fees
If tuition is $113.67 per credit hour and I used 15 credit hours, total amount of tuition paid = 15* $113.67 = $1705.05
Total fees = $660
Total money needed to be spent in school = $1705.05 + $660
Total money needed to be spent in school = $2365.05
Amount I will need to pay for classes next semester = Total money that will be spent - (grant+scholarship)
= $2365.05 - $750
= $1615.05
Hence, the amount I will need to pay for classes next semester is $1615.05
A recent survey of 1090 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 623 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.
Answer:
0.572
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
We have
n = 1090 of US adults
x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige
So we have that
The probability of X = x/n
= 623/1090
= 0.572
We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.
Examine the two triangles. Are the triangles congruent? Justify your conclusions. If they are congruent, complete the following statement: "Yes, triangle __ congruent to triangle __ giving a detailed explanation of your reasoning. If they are not congruent, explain why you think so. Be specific in your answer and make sure to show your work.
Answer: The triangles are not congruent
==========================================
Explanation:
For triangle DEF, the missing angle D is
D+E+F = 180
D+80+60 = 180
D+140 = 180
D = 180-140
D = 40
While the missing angle K in triangle JKL is
J+K+L = 180
80+K+50 = 180
K+130 = 180
K = 180-130
K = 50
---------------------
The three angles for triangle DEF are
D = 40E = 80F = 60The three angles for triangle JKL are
J = 80K = 50L = 50We don't have all the angles matching up. We need to have the same three numbers (the order doesn't matter) show up for both triangles in order for the triangles to be congruent. This is because congruent triangles have congruent corresponding angles.
The only pair that matches is E = 80 and J = 80, but everything else is different. So there is no way the triangles are congruent.
Notice how triangle JKL has two congruent base angles (K = 50 and L = 50), so this triangle is isosceles. Triangle DEF is not isosceles as we have three different angles, so this triangle is scalene.
