Let's assume

number of birds with 2 wings is x

number of birds with 4 wings is y

A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds

so,

x+y=2008

Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x

Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y

The specimens have a total of 4384 wings

so, we get

2x+4y=4384

we can divide both sides by 2

x+2y=2192

so, we get system of equations as

x+y=2008

x+2y=2192

we can solve for x and y

We can subtract both equations

2008-y+2y=2192

y=184

x=2008-184

x=1824

y=184,\:x=1824

so,

number of birds with 2 wings is 1824

number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer

A ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110 ft./sec. at an angle 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

T= 2.35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒The question is on the time of flight.

⇒Time of flight is the time taken for a projected object to reach the ground.It depends on the <u>projectile angle</u> and the <u>initial velocity</u> of the projectile

Given;

Initial velocity of ball= 110ft./sec.

The projectile angle= 20°

Acceleration due to gravity, g=32 ft./s²

⇒Formulae for time of fright T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

Where T=time of fright, u=initial velocity of projectile, Ф=projectile angle and g=acceleration due o gravity.

<u>Substituting values</u>

T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

T=( 2×110×sin 20°) / 32

T= 2.35 seconds

A grocery store will only accept yellow onions that are at least 2.75 in. In diameter. A grower has a crop of onions with diamet
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate z-score firstly

z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1

P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)

= 1 - p(z <1)

P(z<1) from table = 0.84134

1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%

Some one plz help meh I need to understand and I dont
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

It's asking you to find the inputs of the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, when you input something, you replace "x" in the equation with the number you want to input. For example, if I had the equation: 5x/6+5, then I wanted to input "5", then 5 would replace x in the equation, making 5(5)/6+5. The output they are giving you is simply evaluating the equation that you used to input x, so basically in the case I gave you, the output would be 5(5)/6+5, or 25/6+5, and 55/6. Using the outputs, they want you to find the inputs.
