Answer: The correct option is

$(A)~~x+y=90,~~x-y=8.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that one of the two complementary angles is 8 degrees less than the other.

We are to select the correct system of equations represents the given word problem.

Let x and y represents the two complementary angles where y is less than x.

Since one angle is 8 degrees less than the other and y is less than x, so we have

$x-y=8.$

We know that the sum of two complementary angles is 90 degrees, so we get

$x+y=90.$

Thus, the required system of equations representing the given word problem will be

$x+y=90,\\\\x-y=8.$

Option (A) is CORRECT.

I think it is the middle one becuase complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees and if one is 8 less than the other it would be proved like that.

Musya8 [376]

Let p be the population proportion. <span>
We have p=0.60, n=200 and we are asked to find P(^p<0.58). </span>
The thumb of the rule is since n*p = 200*0.60 and n*(1-p)= 200*(1-0.60) = 80 are both at least greater than 5, then n is considered to be large and hence the sampling distribution of sample proportion-^p will follow the z standard normal distribution. Hence this sampling distribution will have the mean of all sample proportions- U^p = p = 0.60 and the standard deviation of all sample proportions- δ^p = √[p*(1-p)/n] = √[0.60*(1-0.60)/200] = √0.0012.
So, the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58
= P(^p<0.58)
= P{[(^p-U^p)/√[p*(1-p)/n]<[(0.58-0.60)/√0...
= P(z<-0.58)
= P(z<0) - P(-0.58<z<0)
= 0.5 - 0.2190
= 0.281
<span>So, there is 0.281 or 28.1% probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.58. </span>

Marianna [84]

You must find the relative rates of both workers...

T=f/3 and J=f/2 so if they work together to clear the field then:

ft/3+ft/2=f make all terms have a common denominator of 6

(2/2)(ft/3)+(3/3)(ft/2)=(6/6)f

2ft/6+3ft/6=6f/6 multiply both sides by 6

2ft+3ft=6f divide both sides by f

2t+3t=6 combine like terms on left side

5t=6 divide both sides by 5

t=6/5 hr

t=1 1/5 hr

t=1 hr 12 min

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been studying the decay pattern of a new virus with a decay r

koban [17]

The Researcher will find 69 viruses, because 231 viruses are decayed in 7 hours, if a virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour and they start with 300 viruses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

A new virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour

They start with 300 viruses

Step:1

Formula to calculate the viruses at decay rate,

$y = A(1-r)^{t}$ ............................(1)

Where, y - No of viruses after given time

A - Viruses at initial stage

r - Decay rate

t - No. of hours

From the given,

A = 300

r = 19% per hour

t = 7 hours

Equation (1) becomes,

$y = 300(1-0.19)^{7}$

$= 300(0.81)^{7}$

$= 300(0.228767)$

$= 68.63$

Viruses of 7 hours ≅ 69 viruses

( or )

Step:1

For 1st hour,

= (No.of viruses in hour) - (No,of viruses in last hour × Decay rate )

= (300)-(300 × 0.19)

= 300 - 57

= 243

For 2nd hour,

= (243)-(243 × 0.19)

= 243 - 46.17

= 196.83

For 3rd hour,

= (196.83)-(196.83 × 0.19)

= 196.83 - 37.39

= 159.4323

For 4th hour,

= (159.4323)-(159.4323 × 0.19)

= 159.4323 - 30.2921

= 129.1402

For 5th hour,

= (129.1402)-(129.1402 × 0.19)

= 129.1402 - 24.5366

= 104.6035

For 6th hour,

= ( 104.6035)-( 104.6035 × 0.19)

= 104.6035 - 19.8747

= 84.7288

For 7th hour,

= (84.7288)-(84.7288 × 0.19)

= 84.7288 - 16.0984

= 68.63 viruses

Result:

The Researcher will find 69 viruses, because 231 viruses are decayed in 7 hours, if a virus with a decay rate of 19% per hour and they start with 300 viruses.
