A gym is in the process of purchasing new 5-pound and 8-pound dumbbells for their aerobics room. Each 5-pound dumbbell costs $8

and each 8-pound dumbbell costs $12. The entire shipment of dumbbells costs $432 and weighs 282 pounds. Which equations can be used to find the number of 5-pound dumbbells, x, and the number of 8-pound dumbbells, y, in the shipment?

The equations that can be used to find the number of 5 pound dumbbells and 8 pound dumbbells are: x + y = 282 and 8x + 12y = 432

Let f=number of five pound and e=number of eight pound dumbbells

5f+8e=282

8e=282-5f

e=(282-5f)/8

...

8f+12e=432, using e found above

8f+12(282-5f)/8=432

64f+12(282-5f)=3456

64f-60f+3384=3456

4f+3384=3456

4f=72

f=18, since e=(282-5f)/8

e=24

So there are 18 five pound and 24 eight pound dumbbells in the shipment.

What are the first three terms of the sequence modeled by the recursive function an=1/2an-1 when a1=1?
loris [4]

Answer:

Option A is correct that is 1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a formula a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1

a_1=1

We will put values of n in a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1

when n=2 we get

a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2-1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1

\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}

when n=3

a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2

\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}

\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, Option A is correct that is 1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}

A homeowner has an octagonal gazebo inside a circular area. Each vertex of the gazebo lies on the circumference of the circular
Tcecarenko [31]

If we draw the diagonals of the octagonal gazebo, the 4 diagonals divide the octagon into 8 triangles.

Note that each triangle is an isosceles triangle whose equal sides are x, the radius of the circle.

The top angle of each triangle is obtained by dividing the full angle by 8.

So, each top angle = \frac{360}{8}

= 45°

Now, in fig., consider one of the triangles Δ OAB. Draw an altitude OC from O to the opposite side AB.

This altitude OC bisects the top angle 45°.

Therefore, ∠ AOC = 22.5°.

Now, in Δ AOC,

sin 22.5=\frac{AC}{OA}

=\frac{AC}{x}

So, AC = x sin 22.5°

Note that, AB = 2 AC.

Therefore, AB = 2x sin 22.5°.

Also, cos 22.5=\frac{OC}{OA}

=\frac{OC}{x}

So, OC = x cos 22.5°.

Area of Δ AOB = \frac{1}{2}(AB)(OC)

= \frac{1}{2} × (2x sin 22.5°) × (x cos 22.5°)

= \frac{1}{2} x^{2} (2 sin 22.5° cos 22.5°)

= \frac{1}{2} x^{2} sin 45°

= x^{2} / 2\sqrt{2}

Area of the octagonal gazebo = 8 × one triangular area

= 8 × (x^{2} / 2\sqrt{2})

=2\sqrt{2} x^{2}

=2.828x^{2}

Area required for mulch = circular area - area of the gazebo

=3.14x^{2} -2.828x^{2}

=0.312x^{2}

Now, cost per unit area = $1.50.

Hence, total cost g(m) = area × cost per unit area

Total cost g(m) = 0.312x^{2} × 1.5

=0.468x^{2}

Hence, total cost g(m) = 0.468x^{2}.

55% of 6th grade students voted in the student election. 440 sixth grade students voted in the student election. How many total
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

800. Here's why:

Step-by-step explanation:

This indicats that 440 students make up 55% of the 6th grade population. We can write this as

55/440.

We also know that 'x' total students make up 100% of the 6th-grade population, so we can write this as

100/x.

55/440 must be equal to 100/x. When cross multiplied, it becomes 50x=44000. If we divided each side by 50, we'll find that x=880. Therefore, there are 800 6th graders

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
labwork [276]

Answer:

D. (8,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the equation

x2-11x+24=0

To factor an equation, you want the answer to add up to the second number, so in this case, 8+3 is equal to 11, and 8 times 3 also equals 24
