A quality control officer randomly checking weights of pumpkin seed bags being filled by an automatic filling machine. Each bag

is advertised as weighing 400 grams. A bag must weigh within 2.1 grams in order to be accepted. What is the range of rejected bag, x, for the bags of pumpkin seeds?
A. 397.9 B. x < 397.9 and x > 402.1
C. x < 400.0 and x> 402.1
D. 400.0 > x < 402.1

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

    B. x < 397.9 and x > 402.1

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Each bag is advertised as weighing 400 grams.

Also, a  bag must weigh within 2.1 grams in order to be accepted.

Hence, for the bag being accepted the weight must be no less than 2.1 gram from 400 gram and should be no more than 2.1 gram from 400 grams.

i.e. the weight of the bag must be such that:

               400-2.1≤ x ≤ 400+2.1

i.e.

              397.9 ≤ x ≤ 402.1

Hence, if the weight of the bag is less than 397.9 grams or is more than 402.1 grams then the bag will be rejected.

i.e. The range for the bag being rejected is: x<397.9 grams and x>402.1 grams.

From 0g to 494.7g are rejected as well as those heavier than 505.3grams.

You calculate this by subtracting and adding 5.3 to 500

Propane has a heat energy of 2,470 BTU/ft cubed. How much energy can a propane tank with a volume of 43.7 ft cubed produce?
professor190 [17]

Answer: 107939\ BTU

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Propane produced heat energy of 2470\ BTU/ft^3

The volume of the tank is 43.7\ ft^3

The energy produced by this propane tank is

\Rightarrow 2470\times 43.7=107939\ BTU

What is the difference between x and dx?
N76 [4]

This response is based upon your having had some background in calculus. "dx" is not introduced before that.

Take a look at the sample function y = f(x) = x^2 + 9. Here x is the independent variable; the dependent variable y changes with x.

Now, for a big jump: we consider finding the area under a curve (graph) between x = a and x = b. We subdivide that interval [a,b] into n vertical slices of area. Each of those slices has its own area: f(x)*dx, where dx represents the width of such subarea. f(x)*dx is the actual subarea. To find the total area under the curve f(x) between x= a and x = b, we add up all of these individual subareas between x = a and x = b. Note that the subinterval width is

b-a

dx = ---------- , and that dx becomes smaller and smaller as the number of

n subintervals increases.

Once again, this all makes sense only if you've begun calculus (particularly integral calculus). Do not try to relate it to earlier math courses.

How can you solve for x and y?
galina1969 [7]

ah, those are systems you want one variable to cancel out. I would time the bottom equation by -1 so x cancels then u solve for y. then u plug all back in to solve for x.
