Answer:

The solutions are x=4, y=3. Cashews are $4 per pound and Peanuts are $3 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = cashews

let y = peanuts

x + 2y = 10 - rosa's purchase

2x + y = 11 - sabrina's purchase

subtract 2x to isolate 'y'

y = 11 - 2x

x + 2(11 - 2x) = 10

x + 22 - 4x = 10 (Use the distributive property.)

-3x = -12

x = 4.00

Plug this into the original equations to find "y"

2(4) + y = 11

8 + y = 11

y = 3

4 + 2y = 10

2y = 6

y = 3

the solutions are: x = 4. y = 3.

Answer:

Square each side

Subtract 1  from each side

Divide by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(3x+1) = 4

Square each side

(sqrt(3x+1))^2 = 4^2

3x+1 = 16

Subtract 1  from each side

3x+1-1 = 16-1

3x= 15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

The number of bacteria, B, in a refrigerated food is given by the function b(t) = 15t2 - 60t + 125, where t is the temperature o
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: b(t(h))=135h^2+180h+125


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of bacteria, B, in a refrigerated food is given by the function  b(t)=15t^2-60t+125 , where t is the temperature of food in degrees Fahrenheit.

The function t(h)=3h+4 gives the temperature, t, of the food h hours after being removed from the refrigerator.

Now, the number bacteria in the food in h hours is given by:-

b(t(h))=15(3h+4)^2-60(3h+4)+125\\=15(9h^2+16+24h)-180h-240+125\\=135h^2+240+360h-180h-240+125\\=135h^2+180h+125

So, The number bacteria in the food in h hours is given by:

b(t(h))=135h^2+180h+125

Vesna [10]

Answer:

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The air pressure of a particular ball has a target value of 7.9 PSI.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

H_{0}: \mu = 7.9

The alternate hypothesis is:

H_{a}: \mu \neq 7.9

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

The hypothesis tested means that \mu = 7.9

Suppose the basketballs have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.20 PSI.

This means that \sigma = 0.2

When a shipment of basketballs arrive, the consumer takes a sample of 21 from the shipment and measures their PSI to see if it meets the target value, and finds the mean to be 7.3 PSI.

This means that X = 7.3, n = 21

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{7.3 - 7.9}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{21}}}

z = -13.74

pvalue:

We are testing that the mean pressure is different than the target value of 7.9, and since the test statistic is negative, the pvalue is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -13.74, which we find looking at the z-table.

z = -13.74 has a pvalue of 0.

2*0 = 0

0 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis, meaning that the air pressure of the balls is different of the target value of 7.9.

For this case we have the following function:
 A (t) = A0e ^ {(kt)}&#10;
 Where,
 A0: initial population
 K: rate of change
 t: time in years
 Substituting values we have:
 A (t) = 22000 * e ^ {(- 0.021 * t)}&#10;
 For the year 2015 we have:
 A (t) = 22000 * e ^ {(- 0.021 * 5)}&#10;&#10;A (t) = 19807
 Answer:
 
the predicted population in 2015 is:
 
19,807
