Question:

Write an inequality to represent the situation.

A light bulb is programmed to turn on

when the temperature in a terrarium is

72°F or cooler.

Answer:

t ≤ 72⁰F

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given this situation, we can write an inequality to represent the temperature in a terrarium at which the light bulb is programmed to turn on as follows:

t ≤ 72⁰F

where, t is the temperature of the terrarium, the sign "≤" implies that at a temperature of 72⁰F and below (i.e. colder would mean temperature below 72⁰F), the light bulb should turn on, as programmed.

Invariably, the inequality "t ≤ 72⁰F" mean the light bulb would turn on if the temperature of the terrarium is less than or equals 72⁰F.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

C($)= (x²/2 +11x)5.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the height= x

The base= x+22

Area= 1/2(base*height).

Area= 1/2((x+22)(x))

Area= x²/2 +11x

Cost per ft= $5.75

Cost for painting the triangular mural C

C($)= (x²/2 +11x)5.75

what is the equation, in slope- intercept form, of the line that contains the points (-3,4) and (5,7)

gavmur [86]

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

To calculate the slope use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 7)

m = $\frac{7-4}{5+3}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ , hence

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (5, 7 ), then

7 = $\frac{15}{8}$ + c ⇒ c = 7 - $\frac{15}{8}$ = $\frac{41}{8}$

y = $\frac{3}{8}$ x + $\frac{41}{8}$ ← equation in slope-intercept form

A pilot can fly 2100 miles with the wind in the same time she can fly 1890 miles against the wind. If the speed of the wind is 2

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

475 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

time = distance / rate

If x is the speed of the plane in still air:

2100 / (x + 25) = 1890 / (x − 25)

Cross multiply:

2100 (x − 25) = 1890 (x + 25)

Distribute and solve:

2100x − 52500 = 1890x + 47250

210x = 99750

x = 475

In a particular region, for families with a combined income of $75,000 or more, 15% of these families have no children, 35% of t

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The probability distribution for x:"number of children per family for this income group" is:

$\text{P(x=0)}=0.15\\\\\text{P(x=1)}=0.35\\\\\text{P(x=2)}=0.45\\\\\text{P(x=3)}=0.05\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information given we have the relative frequencies of each category.

We know:

$\text{P(x=0)}=0.15\\\\\text{P(x=1)}=0.35\\\\\text{P(x=2)}=0.45\\\\\text{P(x=3)}=0.05\\\\$
