What is the product?
(ay3)2 + 3y - 5)

Answer:

It would take Al 7.5 days to build the grill alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Tim and Al are bricklayers, and Tim can construct an outdoor grill in 5 days, and if Al helps Tim, they can build it in only 3 days, to determine how long would it take Al to build the grill alone should be done the following calculation:

1/5 + X = 1/3

0.20 + X = 0.333

X = 0.333 - 0.20

X = 0.1333333

X = 1 / 7.5

Therefore it would take Al 7.5 days to build the grill alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

14x+x+15=13

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

based on the picture the top line is equal to 13.

So, 14 + x+ x + 15 = 13

      2x + 29 = 13

      2x = -16

x = -8

Answer:

x = 3.7

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying sine ratio for the given angle B,

sin(39°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

sin(39°) = [tex]\frac{AD}{AB}[/tex]

0.6293 = [tex]\frac{AD}{7}[/tex]

AD = 4.41

By applying tangent ratio for the given angle C,

tan(50°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

1.19 = [tex]\frac{AD}{x}[/tex]

1.19 = [tex]\frac{4.41}{x}[/tex]

x = 3.7

Answer: perpendicular lines

11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the minimum value we require to find the vertex and determine if max/min

for a quadratic in standard form ; ax² + bx + c

the coordinate of the vertex is..

xvertex = -b/2a

x² - 3x + 5 is in standard form with a = 1,b = - 3 and c = 5

xvertex = - , -3/2 = 3/2

substitute this value into the equation for y-coordinate

yvertex = ( 3/2 ) ² -3 (3/2) + 5 = 11/4

vertex = ( 3/2, 11/4 )

to determine whether max/min

• if a > 0 then minimum u

• ifa < 0 then maximum n

here a = 1 > 0 hence minimum

minimum value of x² - 3x + 5 is 11/4

hope you understand this :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 2 to 5 or 2:5 or 2/5. All these describe the ratio in different forms of fractions. The ratio can consequently be expressed as fractions or as a decimal.

A ratio of 2 : 5 states a comparison between two quantities.

A ratio is a comparison between two similar quantities in simplest form.

Proportions are of two types one is the direct proportion in which if one quantity is increased by a constant k the other quantity will also be increased by the same constant k and vice versa.

In the case of inverse proportion if one quantity is increased by a constant k the quantity will decrease by the same constant k and vice versa.

Given, a ratio 2 : 5.

Suppose it is a ratio of no. of pens to no. of pencils.

So, a ratio 2 : 5 states for every 2 pens there are 5 pencils out of 7 pen and pencils.

We can also write no. of pens = 2/(2+ 5) = 2/7 and for pencils it is 5(2+5)

= 5/7.

Generally, ratios are in simplest form we can have more pens and pencils here but it must be in the multiple of 7.

Answer:

Answer:

D

y = mx + b

-10 is b because it´s the y intercept (the y value when x is 0).

now, the slope (m) is rise/run:

this is easier graphed, but you can see that the run is 3 (moving sideways on the x axis) and the rise is 2 (going up or down) so its 2/3.

because we are going down on the y axis, the slope is negative (so is the y intercept).

So y = -2/3 -10 is the answer.

(b)  (5 C 2) x (10 C 2) x (15 C 2) / (30 C 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of  nickels = 5

Number of dimes = 10

Number of quarters = 15

(a) The probability of getting 6 quarters  

= (15 C 6) / (30 C 6)

So, the probability of not getting 6 quarters = 1 - (15 C 6) / (30 C 6)

(b) Probability of getting 2 nickels , 2 dimes and 2 quarters

= (5 C 2) x (10 C 2) x (15 C 2) / (30 C 2)

Answer:

0.001831055

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, n = 16, p = 0.5, (1 - p) = 0.5 and x = 14

As per binomial distribution formula P(X = x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

We need to calculate P(X = 14)

P(x =14) = 16C14 * 0.5^14 *(1-0.5)^2

               = 120 * 0.5^14 *(1-0.5)^2

Answer:

B. 23

Step-by-step explanation:

BC = 32

CA = 44

To find the length of CD, apply the altitude of right triangle formula, (altitude-on-hypotenuse theorem) which is given as:

h = √(xy)

Where,

h = CB = 32

x = CA = 44

y = CD = ?

Plug in the values

32 = √(44 × CD)

Square both sides

32² = 44 × CD

1,024 = 44 × CD

Divide both sides by 44

1,024/44 = CD

CD = 23 units (nearest whole unit)

Answer:

1, 000 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

The machine prints,

in 3 hrs = 600 books

in 1 hr = 600/ 3 hrs = 200 hrs.

in 5 hrs = 200 × 5

= 1, 000 hrs

The printing machine will print 1000 books in 5 hours.

Let's calculate how many books the printing machine will print in 5 hours based on the given information.

To do this, we'll use the concept of rates and proportions.

Given that the printing machine can print 600 books in 3 hours, we can set up a rate equation as follows:

Rate of printing = Number of books / Time taken

Let "x" be the number of books the machine will print in 5 hours. We can set up the proportion:

600 books / 3 hours = x books / 5 hours

To solve for "x," we cross-multiply:

3 * x = 600 * 5

Now, let's solve for "x":

3x = 3000

x = 3000 / 3

x = 1000

So, the printing machine will print 1000 books in 5 hours.

Given: Printing machine prints 600 books in 3 hours.

Let the number of books the machine will print in 5 hours be "x."

Using the rate formula, we can set up the proportion:

600 books / 3 hours = x books / 5 hours

Cross-multiplying:

3 * x = 600 * 5

Solving for "x":

3x = 3000

x = 3000 / 3

x = 1000

Hence, the printing machine will print 1000 books in 5 hours.

Answer:

her salary will increase by $ 145 for every week

Step-by-step explanation:

x=1st paycheck (integer).

weekly raise = $ 145.

After completing the 1st week she will get $ (x+145).

Similarly after completing the 2nd week she will get

$ (x + 145) + $ 145.

= $ (x + 145 + 145)

= $ (x + 290)

So in this way end of every week her salary will increase by $ 145.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

The coordinates  of the vertices of the triangle are (-8,8),(-8,-4), and. Consider QR the base of the triangle. The measure of the base is b = 18 units, and the measure of the height is h = units. The area of triangle PQR is square units.

Let

P=(-8,8)

Q=(-8,-4)

QR=b=18 units

Height of triangle, h=Length of PQ

Distance formula

[tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Using the formula

Height of triangle, h=[tex]\sqrt{(-8+8)^2+(-4-8)^2}=12units[/tex]

Area of triangle PQR=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

Area of triangle PQR=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 18\times 12[/tex]

Area of triangle PQR=108 square units

Length of QR=18units

Let the coordinates of R(x,y)

[tex]\sqrt{(x+8)^2+(y+4)^2}=18[/tex]

[tex](x+8)^2+(y+4)^2=324[/tex]

[tex]x^2+64+16x+y^2+8y+16=324[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2+16x+8y=324-64-16[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2+16x+8y=244[/tex]   ......(1)

Using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]H=\sqrt{P^2+B^2}[/tex]

[tex]H=\sqrt{(18)^2+(12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]H=6\sqrt{13}[/tex]units

[tex](6\sqrt{13})^2=(x+8)^2+(y-8)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+64+16x+y^2+64-16y=468[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2+16x-16y=468-64-64=340[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2+16x-16y=340[/tex] .....(2)

Subtract equation (2) from (1) we get

[tex]24y=-96[/tex]

[tex]y=-96/24=-4[/tex]

Using the value of y in equation (1)

[tex]x^2+16x+16-32=244[/tex]

[tex]x^2+16x=244-16+32[/tex]

[tex]x^2+16x=260[/tex]

[tex]x^2+16x-260=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2+26x-10x-260=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x+26)-10(x+26)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+26)(x-10)=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-26, x=10[/tex]

Hence, the coordinate of R (10,-4) or (-26,-4).

Answer:

3( [tex]\frac{s}{q}[/tex] + r)  

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² -5x - 1

f'(x) =2*3x - 5*1 +0

     = 6x - 5

f'(4) = 6*4 - 5

      = 24 - 5

      = 19

Answer: 98%

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{77+65+x}{3} =80\\\frac{142+x}{3} =80\\142+x=80*3\\x=240-142=98[/tex]

Answer:

hole at x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The hole is the discontinuity that exists after the fraction reduces. (Still doesn't exist for original of course)

The discontinuities for this expression is when the bottom is 0. x^2-9=0 when x=3 or x=-3 since squaring either and then subtracting 9 would lead to 0.

So anyways we have (x+3)/(x^2-9)

= (x+3)/((x-3)(x+3))

Now this equals 1/(x-3) with a hole at x=-3 since the x+3 factor was "cancelled" from the denominator.

Answer:

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic function:

[tex]\displaystyle y=0.3(x-4)^2-2.5[/tex]

And we want to determine its axis of symmetry.

Notice that this is in vertex form:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

From our function, we can see that h = 4 and k = -2.5. Hence, our vertex is the point (4, -2.5).

The axis of symmetry is equivalent to the x-coordinate of the vertex.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is 4.

Therefore, the axis of symmetry is x = 4.
