Answer: approximately 26.66667  minutes

This converts to 26 minutes, 40 seconds

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 360 newspapers that need to be delivered.

The two brothers can get the job done in 40 minutes if they work together. Their rate is 360/40 = 9 newspapers per minute.

Richie can do the full job alone in 90 minutes. So his rate would be 360/90 = 4 newspapers per minute. In 30 minutes, he delivers 30*4 = 120 newspapers. This leaves 360 - 120 = 240 left over.

Divide this over the rate of 9 papers per minute to get 240/9 = 26.66667 approximately. It takes about 26.66667 minutes to finish up delivering the 240 remaining newspapers if the brothers work together.

The portion 0.66667 multiplies with 60 to get 0.66667*60 = 40.0002 which rounds to 40 (we have rounding error going on). This means

26.66667 minutes = 26 minutes, 40 seconds

Find the coordinates of P ' if D o, 2.4 (x,y) is applied to the triangle below
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation D_{o,2.4}(x,y) represent the dilation with scale factor 2.4 and center at origin.

If the scale factor of the dilation is k and the center is (0,0), then

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Since the scale factor is 2.4, therefore

(x,y)\rightarrow (2.4x,2.4y)

From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinates of P are (2,-2). The coordinates of P' are

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(2.4(2),2.4(-2))

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(4.8,-4.8)

Therefore the coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

The branch manager of an outlet (Store 1) of a nationwide
monitta

Answer:

1. ( 19.1416, 23.5384,)

2. (0.276348, 0.46651)

3. the sample size = 170.73 approximately 171

4. sample size = 334.07 approximately 334

5. sample of 334 should be taken by manager

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = bar x = 21.34 dollars

size of sample n = 70

standard deviation of sample = 9.22

we use t distribution as the population standard deviation is not known.

95% Confidence interval

1-α = 0.95

α = 0.05

degree of freedom = 70-1 = 69

α/2 = 0.025

using the t distribution tsble,

= 1.9949

confidence interval = 21.34+-1.9949*[\frac{9.22}{sqrt(70)}] \\

= 21.34 +- (1.9949*1.10200)

= 21.34 + 2.1984, 21.34 - 2.1984

= (23.5384, 19.1416)

the confidence interval of the mean amount spent at the supply store can be written as 19.1416<u<23.5384

2. sixe of those who only have a cat

p = 26/70 = 0.371429

at 90 % confidence interval,

1-α = 0.90

α = 0.10

we use the z table here

z(0.10/2) = Z(0.05)

= 1.645

0.371429+-1.645\sqrt} \frac{0.371429(1-0.371429)}{70}

= 0.371429 +-( 1.645 x 0.0578)

= 0.371429 + 0.095081, 0.371429 - 0.095081

= (0.276348, 0.46651)

3. sd = 10$

margin of erro,r e = 1.50$

α = 0.05

using z table

α/2 = Z0.025

= 1.96

sample size = 1.96² * 10² / 1.50²

= 3.8416 * 100/ 2.25

= 170.73

the sample size is approximately 171

d. we have 0.5 as sample proportion now

margin of error = 0.045

α = 0.10

Zα/2 = 0.05

= 1.645

sample size = 1.645²x0.5(1-0.5) / 0.045²

= 0.676506/0.002025

= 334. 07

sample size = 334

5.  sample of 334 should be taken by manager

Rewrite the function f(x)=-2(x+2)^2+6 in the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
Romashka [77]

Answer:

f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
  • Standard Form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c
  • Vertex Form: f(x) = a(bx + c)² + d

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define function</u>

Vertex Form: f(x) = -2(x + 2)² + 6

<u>Step 2: Find Standard Form</u>

  1. Expand by FOILing:                         f(x) = -2(x² + 4x + 4) + 6
  2. Distribute -2:                                     f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 8 + 6
  3. Combine like terms (constants):     f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 2
