Answer:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

A teacher claims that the proportion of students expected to pass an exam is greater than 80%. To test this claim, the teacher a

erica [24]

Answer:

z=-1.591

Step-by-step explanation:

Null Hypotheses,

$H_0 : p=0.8\\H_a: p>0.80$

So we use z-test for one population proportion (right-tailed test)

According to this informaton, we defined that

$\alpha=0.05$

$z_c=1.64$ (critical value)

So our Rejection region is $R={z:z>1.64}$

$z=\frac{\bar{p}-p_0}{\sqrt{p_0(1-p_0)/n}} = \frac{0.755-0.8}{\sqrt{0.8(1-0.8)/200}}=-1.591$

Not rejection.

A solution initially contains 200 bacteria. 1. Assuming the number y increases at a rate proportional to the number present, wri

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

1. $\frac{dy}{dt}=ky$

2.543.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

y(0)=200

Let y be the number of bacteria at any time

$\frac{dy}{dt}$ =Number of bacteria per unit time

$\frac{dy}{dt}\proportional y$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=ky$

Where k=Proportionality constant

2. $\frac{dy}{y}=kdt$ ,y'(0)=100

Integrating on both sides then, we get

$lny=kt+C$

We have y(0)=200

Substitute the values then , we get

$ln 200=k(0)+C$

$C=ln 200$

Substitute the value of C then we get

$ln y=kt+ln 200$

$ln y-ln200=kt$

$ln\frac{y}{200}=kt$

$\frac{y}{200}=e^{kt}$

$y=200e^{kt}$

Differentiate w.r.t

$y'=200ke^{kt}$

Substitute the given condition then, we get

$100=200ke^{0}=200 \;because \;e^0=1$

$k=\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1}{2}$

$y=200e^{\frac{t}{2}}$

Substitute t=2

Then, we get $y=200e^{\frac{2}{2}}=200e$

$y=200(2.718)=543.6=543.6$

e=2.718

Hence, the number of bacteria after 2 hours=543.6
