Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Because the expression is not an equation

(b) Because the expression is an equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): a + 2

The above expression can assume any value for a because it is not an equation.

Take for instance:

a = 2;

[tex]a + 2 \to 2 + 2 = 4[/tex]

[tex]a =-4[/tex]

[tex]a + 2 \to -4 + 2 = -2[/tex]

The reason for this is because the expression is not an equation

Solving (b): [tex]b + 2 = 5[/tex]

The above expression can assume only value for b, and the value is:

[tex]b + 2 = 5[/tex]

[tex]b = 5-2[/tex]

[tex]b =3[/tex]

This means that only [tex]b =3[/tex] will make the equation true.

The reason for this is because the expression is an equation

Solve for x: 5|2x - 2] + 8 = 18.

Answers

Answer:

512x−2+8=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

512x−2+8=18

512x+−2+8=18

(512x)+(−2+8)=18(Combine Like Terms)

512x+6=18

512x+6=18

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

512x+6−6=18−6

512x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 512.

jose 25 kg is father is 5 kg less than 3 times jose's weight what is the weight of jose father​

Answers

Answer:

Jose's father weighs 70 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jose weighs 25 kg, while his father is 5 kg less than 3 times Jose's weight, to determine what is the weight of Jose father the following calculation must be performed:

Jose = 25

Father = 3J - 5

3 x 25 - 5 = Father

75 - 5 = X

70 = X

Therefore, Jose's father weighs 70 kilograms.

Answers

Answer:

1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem is asking you to do 1/6 7 times. Lets break it down and make it 1/6 plus 1/6 plus 1/6 plus 1/6 plus 1/6 plus 1/6 plus 1/6

so lets add the all the numerators 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 is 7

the numerator value is 7 and you dont add the denominator so it stays as 6

so the answer is 7/6 or 1 1/6 as a mixed number

Answer:1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is one and one sixth because when you imagine that the 7 is over one, when you times it you get 7/6 and that is 1/ 1/6

A shop that sells nuts has one mixture that is 30% pecans and 70% peanuts. A second mixture is 40% pecans and 60% peanuts. The manager wants to make a mixture that is 38% pecans. She wants to use 25 ounces more of the second mixture than of the first. How many ounces of each mixture should she use

Answers

35 % pecans 75% peanuts

Answer:

=> x = 8.33 oz weight of the first mixture therefore weight of the second mixture would be:

x+25= 8.33+25=33.33 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the weight of each mixture which are unknown to us right now, therefore:

Let the weight of the first mixture be x. Then the weight of the second mixture would be (x+25) and the weight of final mixture would be (x + x + 25) = 2x+25.

The first mixture had 30% pecans, therefore the weight of pecans from the first mixture would be 0.3x.

The second mixture had 40% pecans, therefore the weight of pecans from the second mixture would be 0.4 * (x+25).

We will have 38% pecans in the final mixture hence the weight of pecans is 0.38 of the total weight of pecans in the final mixture.

0.38 * (2x + 25)

Therefore

0.38 * (2x + 25) = 0.3x + 0.4*(x + 25).

Now we have one equation one unknown and solve for x:

=> 0.76x + 9.5 = 0.7x + 10

=> 0.76x - 0.7x = 10 - 9.5

=> 0.06x = 0.5

=> x = 50/0.06

=> x = 50/6 = 25/3

=> x = 8.33 oz weight of the first mixture therefore weight of the second mixture would be:

x+25= 8.33+25=33.33 oz

Suppose that telephone calls arriving at a switchboard follow a Poisson process with an average of 5 calls per minute. What is the probability up to a minute will elapse by the time 2 calls have come into the switchboard

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.0842".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

X = 5

By using the Poisson's distribution formula, we get

The probability will be:

⇒ [tex]P(x=2)=\frac{\lambda^x.e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]

By substituting values, we get

                   [tex]=\frac{(5)^2\times e^{-5}}{2!}[/tex]

                   [tex]=\frac{25\times e^{-5}}{2!}[/tex]

Boeing currently produces five models of airplanes for commercial sale. The airline that Lauren works for is rapidly expanding and would like to purchase three airplanes of different models to service various routes. Her job is to analyze which three to buy. How many combinations will she have to analyze

Answers

Answer:

10 combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 5[/tex] --- total production

[tex]r = 3[/tex] --- aircraft to select

Required

The total number of combination

The number of combination is calculated using:

[tex]^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]^5C_3 = \frac{5!}{(5 - 3)!*3!}[/tex]

[tex]^5C_3 = \frac{5!}{2!*3!}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]^5C_3 = \frac{5*4*3!}{2*1*3!}[/tex]

[tex]^5C_3 = \frac{5*4}{2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^5C_3 = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]

You are saving to buy a speed boat. Starting today, you will put $1,000 into an investment account. Each month thereafter, your contribution will be .1% (.001) higher than the month before, so that your contribution next month will be .1% higher than today, and so forth and so on. The investment account has a periodic monthly interest rate of .4% (.004). Ignore taxes. You will make contributions until 5 years from today.
At the end of five years, when you put in your last ­contribution, how much will you have saved?

Answers

Answer:

You will have saved $69,612 after five years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated using the for formula for calculating the future value of a growing annuity as follows:

FV = C * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g)) ……………………………………… (1)

Where;

FW = future value or amount you will have saved after five years = ?

C = first deposit = $1,000

r = periodic monthly interest rate of = 0.4%, or 0.004

g = growth rate of contribution = 0.1%, or 0.001

n = number of months = 5 years * 12 = 60

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,000 * (((1 + 0.004)^60 - (1 + 0.001)^60) / (0.004 - 0.001))

FV = $1,000 * 69.612001854052

FV = $69,612.00

Therefore, you will have saved $69,612 after five years.

the profit when selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39. How many pairs of shoes should be sold in order to maximize the profit

4 pairs
5 pairs
6 pairs
7 pairs

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit for selling x pairs of shoes is given by:

[tex]P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39[/tex]

And we want to determine the number of pairs that needs to be sold in order to maximize profit.

Since the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, the maximum profit will occur at its vertex point. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = -4, b = 32, and c = -39. Substitute and evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=-\frac{(32)}{2(-4)}=\frac{32}{8}=4[/tex]

So, in order to maximize profit, only four pairs of sohoes should be sold.

Answers

Answer:

  a)  f(t) = 425(1.02)^(4t)

  b)  $683.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The compound interest formula is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

giving the balance A of an investment of principal P for t years at annual rate r compounded n times per year.

We have P = 425, r=0.08, and n=4, so we can write the function f(t) as ...

  f(t) = 425(1+0.08/4)^(4t)

  f(t) = 425(1.02)^(4t)

__

b) The balance after 6 years is ...

  f(6) = 425(1.02^(4·6)) = 425(1.02^24) = 683.59

The account balance after 6 year will be $683.59.

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 431 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 26 bag sample had a mean of 421 grams with a standard deviation of 20. A level of significance of 0.01 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is of 0.0086 < 0.01, which means that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of chocolate chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 431 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.

At the null hypothesis, we test if they are at the correct weight, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 431[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if they are underfilled, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 431[/tex]

The test statistic is:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

431 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 431[/tex]

A 26 bag sample had a mean of 421 grams with a standard deviation of 20.

This means that [tex]n = 26, X = 421, s = 20[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{421 - 431}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{26}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -2.55[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

Using a t-distirbution calculator, the p-value is found using a left-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 26 - 1 = 25 df and t = -2.55. This p-value is of 0.0086.

The p-value of the test is of 0.0086 < 0.01, which means that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled
