The rule for the number of fish in a home aquarium is 1 gallon of water for each inch of fish length. Marta's aquarium holds 33

gallons of water and Hank's aquarium hold 45 gallons of water. The aquarium holds two types of fish, fish A and fish B. If Marta bought 3 of fish A and 2 of fish B, and Hank bought 3 of fish A and 4 of fish B, how long is fish A and how long is fish B?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A: 7 inches
  • B: 6 inches
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.

If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...

... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish

... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

... 2B = 12

... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2

Using this value in the first equation, we have ...

... 3A + 2·6 = 33

... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.

Describe using words in a sentence the transformations that must be applied to the graph of f to obtain thegraph of g(x) = -2 f(
grin007 [14]

we have

f(x)

and

g(x)=-2f(x)+5

so

step 1

First transformation

Reflection about the x-axis

so

f(x) -----> -f(x)

step 2

Second transformation

A vertical dilation with a scale factor of 2

so

-f(x) ------> -2f(x)

step 3

Third transformation

A translation of 5 units up

so

-2f(x) -------> -2f(x)+5

In a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3. Assume outcomes are independent and that you will play the game fo
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.6517

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3.

We know that each game is independent of the other and hence probability of winning any game = 0.3 (constant)

Also there are only two outcomes

Let X be the number of games you win when you play 4 times

Then X is binomial with p = 0.3 and n =4

Required probability

= Probability that you win at most once

= P(X\leq 1)\\=P(X=0)+P(X=1)

We have as per binomial theorem

P(X=r) = nCr p^r (1-p)^{n-r}

Using the above the required prob

= 0.6517

Choose all the quadratic pairs that are equivalent. 1 2 (x + 4)2 = 2 x2 + 8x + 15 = 0 (x − 5)2 = 1 x2 − 10x + 26 = 0 3(x − 1)2 +
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Only equation 1 and 2 are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x + 4)2 = 2

2( x² + 8x+ 16) = 2               Applying the square formula

2x² + 16x+ 32 = 2

2x² + 16x+ 32 -2= 0

2x² + 16x+ 30 = 0

2( x² + 8x+ 15)= 0           Taking 2 as common

x2 + 8x + 15 = 0------------eq 1

x2 + 8x + 15 = 0-------------eq 2

(x − 5)2 = 1

x²-10x+25= 1             Applying the square formula

x²-10x+25- 1= 0

x²-10x+24= 0-------------eq 3

x2 − 10x + 26 = 0 -------------eq 4

3(x − 1)2 + 5 = 0

3( x²-2x+1)+5= 0               Applying the square formula

3x²-6x+3+5= 0

3x²-6x+ 8= 0-------------eq 5

3x2 − 6x + 8 =1

3x2 − 6x + 8 -1=0

3x2 − 6x + 7 =0-------------eq 6
