You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be b

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is 270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

You select a card at random from the cards that make up the word "replacement". Without replacing the card, you choose a second

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The probability is 14/55

Step-by-step explanation:

The word replacement contains 11 letters.

In which 4 letters are vowel = e,a,e,e

And 7 letters are not vowel = r,p,l,c,m,n,t

The probability of getting the vowel in the first try = 4/11

The probability of getting something that is not a vowel = 7/10.

The denominator is one less because the vowel card is not replaced, meaning there is one less card to choose from.

Multiply the values:

=4/11 * 7/10

=28/110

=14/55

The probability is 14/55....

Differentiating with respect to time

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$l = 30 \ cm\\w = l\\\frac{dl}{dt} = 2 \ cm/h\\h = 20 \ cm\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 3 \ cm/h$

Step 2: Differentiate

Rewrite [VRP]: $V = l^2h$
Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}$

Step 3: Solve for Rate

Substitute: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)$
Multiply: $\frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h$

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.

Numbers that add to -0.5 and multiply to 1

Oliga [24]

Short Answer
There are two numbers
x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682i <<<< answer 1
x2 = - 0.25 - 0.9582i <<<< answer 2

I take it there are two such numbers.
Let one number = x
Let one number = y

x + y = -0.5
y = - 0.5 - x (1)
xy = 1 (2)

Put equation 1 into equation 2
xy = 1
x(-0.5 - x) = 1
-0.5x - x^2 = 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
-0.5x - x^2 - 1 = 0 Order these by powers
-x^2 - 0.5x -1 = 0 Multiply though by - 1
x^2 + 0.5x + 1 = 0 Use the quadratic formula to solve this.

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 1
b = 0.5
c = 1

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -0.5 \pm \sqrt{0.5^{2} - 4*1*1 } }{2*1}$

x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(0.25 - 4)] / 2
x = [-0.5 +/- sqrt(-3.75)] / 2
x = [-0.25 +/- 0.9682i

x1 = -0.25 + 0.9682 i
x2 = -0.25 - 0.9682 i

These two are conjugates. They will add as x1 + x2 = -0.25 - 0.25 = - 0.50.

The complex parts cancel out. Getting them to multiply to 1 will be a little more difficult. I'll do that under the check.

Check
(-0.25 - 0.9682i)(-0.25 + 0.9682i)
Use FOIL
F:-0.25 * -0.25 = 0.0625
O: -0.25*0.9682i
I: +0.25*0.9682i
L: -0.9682i*0.9682i = - 0.9375 i^2 = 0.9375

Notice
The two middle terms (labled "O" and "I" ) cancel out. They are of opposite signs.

The final result is 0.9375 and 0.0625 add up to 1
