The area of a rectangle is 3,878 square centimeters. If the rectangle has a width of 14 centimeters, what is its length?

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivery weights give rise to the equations ...

  3x +5y -79 = 0

  12x +2y -199 = 0

Using the "cross multiplication method" of solving these equations, we find ...

  d1 = (3)(2) -(12)(5) = 6 -60 = -54

  d2 = 5(-199) -(2)(-79) = -995 +158 = -837

  d3 = -79(12) -(-199)(3) = -948 +597 = -351

1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3

x = d2/d1 = -837/-54 = 15.5

y = d3/d1 = -351/-54 = 6.5

The large boxes weigh 15.5 kg; the small boxes weigh 6.5 kg.

Additional comment

My preferred quick and easy way to solve equations like this is using a graphing calculator. In addition to that, an algebraic method is shown.

The "cross-multiplication method" shown here is what I consider to be a simplified version of what you would find in videos. It is a variation of Cramer's rule and the Vedic maths methods of solving pairs of linear equations. I find it useful when "elimination" or "substitution" methods would result in annoying numbers. In such cases, it uses fewer arithmetic operations than would be required by other methods.

Short description: writing the coefficients of the general form equations in 4 columns, where the last column is the same as the first, a "cross multiplication" is computed for each of the three pairs of columns. Those computations are of the form ...

  [tex]\text{column pair: }\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\ \Rightarrow\ d_n=ad-cb[/tex]

The relationship between the differences d₁, d₂, and d₃ and the variable values is shown above.

Answer:

The first year in which Clara will see that Investment B's value will exceed Investment A's value will be year 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clara made two investments, and Investment A has an initial value of $ 500 and increases by $ 45 every year, while Investment B has an initial value of $ 300 and increases by 10% every year, and Clara checks the value of her investments once to year, at the end of the year, to determine what is the first year in which Clara sees that Investment B's value has exceeded investment A's value, the following calculation must be performed:

500 + (45 x X) = A

300 x 1.1 ^ X = B

A = 500 + 45 x 5 = 500 + 225 = 725

B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 5 = 483.15

A = 500 + 45 x 10 = 950

B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 10 = 778.12

A = 500 + 45 x 15 = 1175

B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 15 = 1253.17

A = 500 + 45 x 14 = 1,130

B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 14 = 1,139.25

Therefore, the first year in which Clara will see that Investment B's value will exceed Investment A's value will be year 14.

Answer:

(8.608, 9.392)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information

Population standard deviation = 1.8

Sample mean = 9 hours

Sample n = 81

C I = 95%

So level of significance

Alpha = 1-0.95

= 0.05

Z critical at 0.05/2

Z(0.025) = 1.96

The 95% c.i =

9+-(1.96)(1.8/√81)

9+-(1.96)(0.2)

(9-0.392)(9+0.392)

(8.608, 9.392)

This is the confidence interval at 95%.

I hope you find my solution useful. Good luck!!!

Answer: x² - (3/4)x + 9/64 = (x + 3/8)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of completing the square.

Completing the square is a technique for converting a quadratic polynomial of the form ax²+bx+c to the form (x-h)²for some values of h.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

If we expand (x - h)² = x² - 2 · x · h + h²

Given equation:

Since [x² - (3/4)x +___] is the expanded form of (x - h)², then (-3/4)x must be equal to 2 · x · h. Thus, we would be able to find the value of h.

Finally, we plug the final value back to the equation.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [tex]3x+7=22[/tex], our goal is to isolate [tex]x[/tex] such that will have an equation that tell us [tex]x[/tex] is equal to something.

Start by subtracting 7 from both sides:

[tex]3x+7-7=22-7,\\3x=15[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3},\\x=\frac{15}{3}=\boxed{5}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]x=5[/tex] makes the equation [tex]3x+7=22[/tex] true.

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 7 from both sides:  3x + 7- 7 = 22 - 7

Simplify: 3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3

Simplify: x = 5

The required value of m for the given triangle is given as m = 12.

In a right-angled triangle, its sides, such as hypotenuse, and perpendicular, and the base is Pythagorean triplets.

Here,
Applying Pythagoras' theorem,
n² = m² - 6² - - - - (1)

m ² + base² = 24²
base² = 24² - m² - - - - (2)

n² + 18² = base²
From equation 1 and 2
m² - 6² + 18² = 24² - m²
2m² = 24² + 6² - 18²
m = 12

Thus, the required value of m for the given triangle is given as m = 12.

Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the speed is the same for Stage 2, the time is proportional to the distance.

  t2/(44 mi) = (120 min)/(110 mi)

  t2 = (44/110)(120 min) = 48 min . . . . . . multiply by 44 mi

The time for Stage 2 was 48 minutes.

Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3  12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4   The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3  P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft  = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7  You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.

Answer:

[tex] \frac{1}{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y = \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

differentiating numerator wrt x :-

(sinx)' = cos x

differentiating denominator wrt x :-

(1 + cos x)' = (cosx)' = - sinx

[tex] (\frac{u}{v} )' = \frac{v. \: (u)' - u.(v)' }{ {v}^{2} } [/tex]

here,

[tex] = \frac{((1 + \cos \: x) \cos \: x )- (\sin \: x. ( - \sin \: x) ) }{( {1 + \cos(x)) }^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{ \cos(x) + \cos {}^{2} (x) + \sin {}^{2} (x) }{(1 + \cos \: x) {}^{2} } [/tex]

since cos²x + sin²x = 1

[tex] = \frac{ \cos \: x + 1}{(1 + \cos \: x) {}^{2} } [/tex]

diving numerator and denominator by 1 + cos x

[tex] = \frac{1}{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

In this question:

Mean of 37.6, standard deviation of 6.1.

Between what two numbers of animals does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantees that we will find at least 89% of the days?

Within 3 standard deviations of the mean, so:

37.6 - 3*6.1 = 19.3

37.6 + 3*6.1 = 55.9

Between 19.3 and 55.9 animals.

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults in the U.S. who have donated blood in the past two years is (0.1627, 0.1887).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A Gallup survey of 2322 adults (at least 18 years old) in the U.S. found that 408 of them have donated blood in the past two years.

This means that [tex]n = 2322, \pi = \frac{408}{2322} = 0.1757[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1757 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.1757*0.8243}{2322}} = 0.1627[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.1757 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.1757*0.8243}{2322}} = 0.1887[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults in the U.S. who have donated blood in the past two years is (0.1627, 0.1887).

Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

People who live in Florida and also have annual pass to Disney world is 221, sample size selected for group 1 is 350.

People who do not live in Florida and have annual pass to Disney world is 365, sample size selected for Group 2 is 650.

Group 1 sample proportion is : 221 / 350 = 0.6314

Group 2 sample proportion is 365 / 650 = 0.5615

Test statistics is 0.8317

Since test stats value is greater than the sample proportion significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
