Answer:

b=10, a=13

Step-by-step explanation:

let s number of yellow = a

number of blue = b

we have

a+b =23

2b - a = 7

->a+b +2b -a = 23+7

-> 3b = 30

->b = 10

->a = 13

1) Jo Anne needs to do a speech in her English class that can't be more than 4 minutes
djyliett [7]

Answer:

( 0 < y < 23 / 6 ) mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

We will define a variable ( x ) as the time it took for Jo Anne to give her speech at home.

The time taken to give her speech must always be less than 4 minutes. We can express this mathematically using an inequality as follows:

                              ( 0 < x < 4 ) minutes

Jo Anne gave her speech which was 10 seconds less than the one she practised at home. We will convert the time in seconds to minutes as follows:

                             10 s * \frac{min}{60 s}  = \frac{1}{6} min

The time taken by Jo Anne to complete her speech in English class can be represented as:

                             y = x - 1/6

Using the range of time that Jo Anne could take in delivering her speech in the class would be:

                                    0 < x < 4

                            0 - 1/6 < y < 4 - 1/6

                            -1/6 < y < 23 / 6

Since time can not be less than zero. We correct the lower limit to " 0 " as follows:

                              ( 0 < y < 23 / 6 ) mins

Approximate the zeros of the function. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. f(x) = 4x^2 + 4x - 35. Explain each step on how
svet-max [94.6K]
4x²+4x-35=0
factor: (2x+7)(2x-5)=0
2x+7=0, or 2x-5=0
2x=-7 or 2x=5
x=-3.5 or x=2.5

I don't see any rounding necessary in this case. 

when you factor ax²+bx+c, you take the two factors of a and the two factors of c, one factor of a times one factor of c, the other factor of a times the other factors, the sum of the two products make b.
in this case, the factors of 4 is 2 and 2, the factors of -35 is -5 and 7. I line them up in the following way:
2    -5

2      7
then I multiple them diagonally, the top left 2 multiplying the bottom right 7=14, and the other 2 multiplying -5=-10, 14 and -10 make a sum of 4.

if you don't get the desired sum, switch the factors up and down till you have the right combination. Note: Do not switch left and right. 

I hope this makes sense to you.

The average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 in
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches = 0.30854 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 inches.

Also, a random sample of 4 women from this population is taken and their average height is computed.

Let X bar = Average height

The z score probability distribution for average height is given by;

                Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 64 inches

           \sigma = standard deviation = 4 inches

           n = sample of women = 4

So, Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches is given by = P(X bar < 63 inches)

P(X bar < 63) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{63-64}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{4} } } ) = P(Z < -0.5) = 1 - P(Z <= 0.5)

                                                        = 1 - 0.69146 = 0.30854

Hence, it is 30.85%  likely that average height would be shorter than 63 inches.

The figure the Floor Plan of a balcony ,it consists of △ABC and semi-circle ,
ivanzaharov [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) In right triangle ABC,

AC^2 =AB^2 +BC^2  \\  =  {12}^{2} +  {5}^{2}   \\  = 144 + 25 \\  = 169 \\  AC =  \sqrt{169}  \\  \therefore \: AC =  13\: m \\  \\ AC \: is \: the \: diameter \: of \: semicircle \\  \therefore \: r =  \frac{1}{2} \times  AC = \frac{1}{2} \times 13 = 6.5 \: m \\  Circumference \:of \:semi-circle \\ C = \pi \: r = 3.14 \times 6.5 = 20.41 \:m\:

Perimeter of Balcony = 12 + 5 + 20.41 = 37.41 m

(b) Area of balcony

=\frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 5+\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 \\\\=\times 6\times 5+\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14\times (6.5)^2 \\\\=30+\frac{1}{2} \times 3.14\times42.25\\\\= 30+\frac{1}{2} \times 132.665\\\\= 30 + 66.3325\\\\= 96.3325 \:m^2 \\\\\approx 96. 33\:m^2
