The larger number is 17

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the larger number

Let "y" be the smaller number

<em><u>The difference between of two numbers is 9</u></em>

Therefore,

larger number - smaller number = 9

x - y = 9 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The large number is one more than twice the smaller number</u></em>

Larger number = 1 + 2(smaller number)

x = 1 + 2y ------ eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

1 + 2y - y = 9

1 + y = 9

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

<em><u>Substitute y = 8 in eqn 1</u></em>

x - 8 = 9

x = 8 + 9

x = 17

Thus the larger number is 17

love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line would be the constant of proportionality for the line

shown. The point (35, 49) is really close the line which would make the

constant of proportionality 49/35 = 7/5. The equation of the line would be y =

7/5x. The number of loaves of bread from 85 pounds of flour would be

7/5(85) = 119 loaves.

During a rock concert, the noise level (in decibels) in front row seats has a mean of 95 dB with a standard deviation of 8 dB. W
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

\frac{8}{9} *100= 88.89 \%

So we have at least 88.89% of the noise level values within 3 deviation from the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case let define the random variable X as the noise level, we know the following properties for X:

E(X) = 95 , Sd(X)= 8

And for this case we don't know the distribution for the random variable X.

But we can use the Chebysev theorem who states that the minimum percentage of the data that lies within k standard deviations from the mean is given by:

1 -\frac{1}{k^2}, k>1

So for this case we have that k = 3 and if we use this theorem we have:

1- \frac{1}{3^2}

1- \frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{9}

And we can convert this into % and we got:

\frac{8}{9} *100= 88.89 \%

So we have at least 88.89% of the noise level values within 3 deviation from the mean.

Can you help stuck on this question for a while ​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular sand box is given by the function,

F(x) = 3x³ + 6x - 2

Width of the sand box is represented by the function,

W(x) = 2x² - 4

Area function for the sand box will be,

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

F(x) × W(x) = (3x³ + 6x - 2)(2x² - 4)

                 = 2x²(3x³ + 6x - 2) - 4(3x³ + 6x - 2)

                 = 6x⁵+ 12x³ - 4x²- 12x³- 24x + 8

                 = 6x⁵- 4x²- 24x + 8

Therefore, Area function will be represented by a polynomial degree of 5.

Option B will be the answer.
