Answer:

$51.50

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the amount that Phil give to her sister be $x$ </em>

<em><u>After Phil's sister pays her debt of 10, Phil and her sister should have EQUAL amount. </u></em>So we can write the equation as:

$93-x=x-10$

Now solving this for x, we have:

$93-x=x-10\\93+10=x+x\\103=2x\\x=\frac{103}{2}=51.5$

Hence, Phil must give $51.50 to her sister.

Answer:

D) would be the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is always the set of x-coordinates in the pairs and the range is always the set of y-coordinates in the pairs.

D: 7, -2, 4, -9, 0

R: 3, -2, 1, 0, 7

Put them in order from least to greatest.

D: -9, -2, 0, 4, 7

R: -2, 0, 1, 3, 7

Find (f • g) when f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6 and g(x) = 1/x+3

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6$

$g(x)= \frac{1}{x+3}$

(fog)(x) = f(g(x))

Plug in g(x) in f(x)

We plug in 1/x+3 in the place of x in f(x)

$f(g(x))= f(\frac{1}{x+3})= (\frac{1}{x+3})^2 + 5(\frac{1}{x+3}) + 6$

To simplify it we take LCD

LCD is (x+3)(x+3)

$\frac{1}{(x+3)(x+3)}+5\frac{1*(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+3)}+\frac{6(x+3)(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+3)}$

$\frac{1}{x^2+6x+9}+\frac{(5x+15)}{x^2+6x+9}+\frac{6x^2+36x+54}{x^2+6x+9}$

All the denominators are same so we combine the numerators

$\frac{1+5x+15+6x^2+36x+54}{x^2+6x+9}$

$\frac{6x^2+41x+70}{x^2+6x+9}$

Option D is correct

A business executive bought 40 stamps for

alekssr [168]

Answer:

32 33-cent stamps, 8 23-cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we need to set up a system of equations. Also known as solving for two variables (the number of each stamp).

Let's set x to be the number of 33-cent stamps. Similarly, let's set y to be the number of 23-cent stamps.

To make our first equation, let's think about the number of stamps total we have. We can say:

$x + y =40$

<em>(AKA - The number of 33-cent stamps, plus the number of 23-cent stamps, equals 40 stamps.)</em>

Now, let's make an equation for the cost of these stamps.

$0.33x + 0.23y = 12.40$

<em>(AKA - The cost of the stamps in total, should equal $12.40).</em>

So now, we have our two equations:

$x + y =40\\0.33x+0.23y=12.40$

If you have a TI-84 graphing calculator, you can go to apps -> polysmlt2 -> simultaneous eqn solver, and then input these equations into the menu. This will solve the problem for you.

If you need to do this manually, let's use substitution. Condense our first equation to make it more substitutable.

$x+y=40\\x=40-y$

Now, let's put this into our second equation.

$0.33x+0.23y=12.40\\0.33(40-y)+0.23y=12.40$

Distribute, and solve for y.

$13.2-0.33y +0.23y =12.40\\13.2-0.1y=12.40\\-0.1y=-0.8\\y=8$

Now, we plug this into one of our equations.

$x+y=40\\x+8=40\\x=32$

In the end, we have thirty-two 33-cent stamps, and eight 23-cent stamps.

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 436.0 gram setting. It

Vilka [71]

Answer:

We conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 436.0 gram

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 429.0 grams

Sample size, n = 40

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 23.0 grams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 436.0\text{ grams}\\H_A: \mu < 436.0\text{ grams}$

We use one-tailed(left) z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{429 - 436}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{40}} } = -1.92$

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.64$

Since,

$z_{stat} < z_{critical}$

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, we conclude that the machine is under filling the bags.
