An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The correct option is x+y=557 and Three-fifths(x)+five-sixths(y)=407.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the total number of pages in the shorter book be represented by x, and the total number of pages in the longer book be represented by y.

Given the total number of pages of the shorter book and the longer book is 557. Therefore, the equation can be written as,

x+y =557

Also, Scott reads Three-fifths of the shorter book and StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction of the longer book, which is equal to 407 pages. Therefore,

(3/5)x + (5/6)y = 407

Hence, the correct option is x+y=557 and Three-fifths(x)+five-sixths(y)=407.

An observer stands 25 feet from the base of a flagpole and watches a flag being lowered at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Determine the rat

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.1 rad/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distance from or to the flagpole is not given, I will assume. And my assumption is 50 ft

Now, the elevation angle A = 45 degrees, converting to radians, we have π/4 radians

Remember that the tan of an angle is OPP/HYP, and so

tan A = h/25, on differentiating, we have

d tan A/dA = sec^2 A = (1/25) dh/dA

Next, we have

25 sec^2 A * dA/dt= dh/dt = 5

Making dA/dt the subject of formula, we have

dA/dt = (1/5) cos^2 A

but cos^2 A from trigonometry = 1/2, this means that

dA/dt = .1 radians/second

If you want to convert to degrees, your have

.1 Rad/s( 180 deg/rad) = 18 degrees/second

How many weeks of data must be randomly sampled to estimate the mean weekly sales of a new line of athletic footwear? We want 98

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.33(1400)}{400})^2 =66.50 \approx 67$

So the answer for this case would be n=67 rounded up

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma=1400$ represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =400 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And the critical value would be $z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:
