There would be 3 and 1/2 pounds left.

2/3 x 2 = 4/6
5/6
5/6 + 4/6 = 6/6 (1) and 3/6 (1/2)

Consider the quadratic function f(y) = 8y2 – 7y + 6. What is the constant of the function?

Over [174]

The constant is 6. A constant is just the number on its own. Quadratics follow the form f(x) = ax^2+bx+c. The c is the constant.

A woman has twice as many dimes as quarters in her purse. If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, she would have

Digiron [165]

If x = # of quarters, then, the # of dimes will be equal to 2x. The total value (z) would be equal to:

z = 0.25x + 0.10(2x)

Then, since you switch the quarters and the dimes, and you have a new total, the resulting equation will be:

1.2 + z = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Plug in the values you know:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.10(2x)) = 0.25(2x) + 0.10(x)

Solve for x:

1.2 + (0.25x + 0.20x) = 0.50x + 0.10x
1.2 + 0.45x = 0.60x
1.2 = 0.15x
x = 1.2/0.15 = 8

This means that there are 8 Quarters in her bag right now. So, the amount of dimes is just 2x which is 16. So your answer will be:

She has 8 Quarters and 16 Dimes in her bag right now. Or, $3.60.

If this doesn't make sense, then tell me. I have some resources where I got the answer from to put it into simplest terms. I have the website if you want.

For males in a certain town, the systolic blood pressure is normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

$G=93\ to\ 147$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mean $x= 120$

Standard deviation $\sigma= 9$

Percentage for men =99.75%

Generally the empirical rule 68%,95% and 99.7% of data value lay b/w 1,2,3 standard deviation of mean

Standard deviation n= 9

Mean x= 120

Generally the interval of systolic blood pressure for middle 99.7 of male G is mathematically given as

$G=Mean \pm 3* \sigma$

$G=120 \pm 3*9$

$G=93\ to\ 147$

What is the equation in point-slope from for the line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (2,-3)?

Aleks [24]

Answer:

$y + 3 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x - 2]\:or\:y - 5 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x + 3]$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

$\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m$

$\frac{-5 - 3}{3 + 2} = -\frac{8}{5} = -1\frac{3}{5}$

Now input the slope into the Point-Slope Formula. In this formula, all negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs:

$y - y_1 = m[x - x_1]$

$y + 3 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x - 2]\:or\:y - 5 = -1\frac{3}{5}[x + 3]$

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
