<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

A girl is 9; mom is 27

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A girl is now one-third as old as her mother.

i.e. if x is the present age of girl.

and y is the present age of her mother.

Then,

$x=\dfrac{1}{3}y$

i.e.

$y=3x-----------(1)$

In three years, she will be two-fifths as old as her mother will be.

This means after three years.

The age of girl will be: x+3

and the age of her mother will be: y+3

This means that:

$(x+3)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times (y+3)$

$5(x+3)=2(y+3)\\\\i.e.\\\\5x+15=2y+6$

i.e.

$5x+15=2\times 3x+6$

( since on using equation (1) )

i.e.

$5x+15=6x+6\\\\i.e.\\\\6x-5x=15-6\\\\i.e.\\\\x=9$

and the value of y from equation (1) is:

$y=27$

I really want to say A, I mean all of these would fit for the one third of their ages but the two-fifths is kinda tricky. But I am sticking with A.

The width of a rectangle, in feet, is represented by (3x-1). The length of the rectangle, in feet, is represented by (1.5x+3). F

bogdanovich [222]

Answer: 4.5x + 2

Explanation:

Sum of length and width = (3x-1)+(1.5x+3)
= 3x - 1 + 1.5x + 3
= 4.5x + 2

Plsss help me !!!!

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The enrollment after 5 years is 10,724

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, we can have the depreciation formula written as follows;

A = P(1 - r)^t

A is the number of enrollment in after a certain number of years t

P is the initial population which is 13,500

r is the rate of depreciation which is 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

t = 5 years

Substituting these values, we have it that;

A = 13,500(1-0.045)^5

A = 10,723.84

Math help on questions #4 and #5

Vanyuwa [196]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4. -3

5. 3

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

4. For x > -2, the value of a is the slope of the line. The line goes down 3 units for each 1 to the right, so the slope is -3/1 = -3. Then a = -3.

___

5. The ordered pair (h, k) is typically used to name the point to which a function is translated. The vertex of the function f(x) = |x| is (0, 0). When it is translated to (h, k), the function becomes ...

... q(x) = |x -h| +k

If the new vertex is (3, 0), then h = 3 and k = 0. This is consistent with the equation shown. (k = 0 means q(x) = |x -h|.)

Silicon wafers are scored and then broken into the many small microchips that will he mounted into circuits. Two breaking method

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

a

The estimate is $- 0.0265\le K \le 0.0465$

b

Method B this is because the faulty breaks are less

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of microchips broken in method A is $n_1 = 400$

The number of faulty breaks of method A is $X_1 = 32$

The number of microchips broken in method B is $n_2 = 400$

The number of faulty breaks of method A is $X_2 = 32$

The proportion of the faulty breaks to the total breaks in method A is

$p_1 = \frac{32}{400}$

$p_1 = 0.08$

The proportion of the faulty to the total breaks in method B is

$p_2 = \frac{28}{400}$

$p_2 = 0.07$

For this estimation the standard error is

$SE = \sqrt{ \frac{p_1 (1 - p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{p_2 (1- p_2 )}{n_2} } }$

substituting values

$SE = \sqrt{ \frac{0.08 (1 - 0.08)}{400} + \frac{0.07 (1- 0.07 )}{400} } }$

$SE = 0.0186$

The z-values of confidence coefficient of 0.95 from the z-table is

$z_{0.95} = 1.96$

The difference between proportions of improperly broken microchips for the two breaking methods is mathematically represented as

$K = [p_1 - p_2 ] \pm z_{0.95} * SE$

substituting values

$K = [0.08 - 0.07 ] \pm 1.96 *0.0186$

$K = - 0.0265 \ or \ K = 0.0465$

The interval of the difference between proportions of improperly broken microchips for the two breaking methods is

$- 0.0265\le K \le 0.0465$
