Answer: classroom numbers are 353 and 355

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first no

Then x+2 represents the second number

Turn the question to an equation= x - (x +2) =708

Therefore, 2x + 2= 708

2x= 708-2

2x= 706

x= 353 and x+2= 355

Hope you understand, please mark brainliest.

Answer:

The first number is 353, and the second is 353 + 2, or 355.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first number by n and the next by n + 2.  

Then n + (n + 2) = 2n + 2 = sum of the two numbers = 708.

Subtracting 2 from both sides yields 2n = 706.  Dividing both sides of this latest result by 2 yields n = 353.

The first number is 353, and the second is 353 + 2, or 355.

Check:  do 353 and 355 sum up to 708?  YES

Quadratic Equation Applications
serious [3.7K]

The number of $0.50 increases to maximize the profit is X = 1.

First of all, we need to write the linear function which represents the price of the ticket for each increase of $0.50:

P - Price of each ticket.

x - number of increases.

We know that the current price is $5.00, so:

    P(x) = 0.5x + 5.00

After that, let's build a linear function which shows the number of tickets sold <u>for each</u> price increase:

    T - number of tickets.

    x - number of increases.  

    T(x) = -100x + 1200

With all this done, we can finally build the quadratic function which represents the money earned:

M - money earned

M = Tickets Sold \times TicketPrice\\\\M = T(x) \times P(x)\\\\M = (0.5x + 5) \times (-100x + 1200)\\\\M = -50x^{2}  + 600x -500x + 6000\\\\M(x) = -50x^{2}  + 100x + 6000\\\\

Now, to finish, we only have to <u>calculate the value of X</u>(number of increases) which can give us the maximum value of this function:

the X coordinate for the maximum value of a quadratic is expressed by:

   Xmax = \frac{-b}{2a} \\\\

In our equation, b = 100 and a = - 50 :

Xmax = \frac{-(100)}{2(-50)} \\\\Xmax = \frac{-100}{-100} \\\\Xmax = 1

Thus, the number of increases which <u>maximizes</u> the profit is 1.

On a test with a population mean of 75 and standard deviation equal to 16, if the scores are normally distributed, what percenta
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Percentage of scores that fall between 70 and 80 = 24.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a test with a population mean of 75 and standard deviation equal to 16.

Let X = Percentage of scores

Since, X ~ N(\mu,\sigma^{2})

The z probability is given by;

           Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)    where, \mu = 75  and  \sigma = 16

So, P(70 < X < 80) = P(X < 80) - P(X <= 70)

P(X < 80) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{80-75}{16} ) = P(Z < 0.31) = 0.62172

P(X <= 70) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{70-75}{16} ) = P(Z < -0.31) = 1 - P(Z <= 0.31)

                                              = 1 - 0.62172 = 0.37828

Therefore, P(70 < X < 80) = 0.62172 - 0.37828 = 0.24344 or 24.34%

6) Gurwinder is making naan bread.
mash [69]

Answer:

1 1/2  teaspoon of salt is required

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe requires 3/4 cup of flour and Nick wants to make the recipe using 1 cup of flour.

The recipe requires  1 1/8 teaspoon of salt and Nick wants to know how much salt he heeds.

Consider short description:

3/4 cup of flour - 1 cup of flour,

1 1/8 teaspoon of salt - x teaspoon of salt.

Mathematically, you can wrte a proportion:

<u>3/4 </u>       = 1 / x

<u>1 1/8 </u>

Then

3/4  * x = 1 x 1 1/8,

3x/4 = 9/8,

3x x 8 = 4 x 9,

24x = 36,

x = 36/24 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
