Answer:

(-21/24) - (-20/24) = -1/24

Simplest Form of the Equation

(-7/8) - (-5/6) = 0.04166666666

8x6= 48,

-7x6=-42

6x8= 48,

-5x8=40

(-42/48) - (-40/48)

Divide both sides by 2

(-21/24) - (-20/24) = -1/24

arlik [135]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that each box in the graph represents the length of 2 units. The coordinates of point A,B and C are (-1,1),(-3,3) and (-2,4) respectively.

If a point reflects over the y-axis then,

$(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)$

So after reflecting coordinates of point C become,

$(-2,4)\rightarrow(2,4)$

If a point translated by (a,b), then

$(x,y)\rightarrow(x+a,y+b)$

So, after reflection over y-axis followed by translation by (2,-2), the coordinate of C are,

$(2,4)\rightarrow(2+2,4-2)\\(2,4)\rightarrow(4,2)$

Similarly the image of point A and B are (3,-1) and (5,1) respectively.

The image of C after reflection over y-axis followed by translation by (2,-2) is (4,2), which is shown in only graph A, Therefore A is the correct option.

Tamara finds the sum of two number cubes rolled at the same time. The chart below shows all possible sums from the 36 possible c

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Tamara should expect the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a number cube are:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

If two such cubes are rolled together, then the sum of the two cubes will be 5 for the combinations below:

S₁ = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2) and (4, 1)}

The total number of outcomes will be, N = 36.

Compute the probability that the sum of rolling two numbered cubes as follows:

$P(\text{Sum}=5)=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}$

Let X = number of time the sum of the two numbers on two cubes is 5.

Two numbered cubes are rolled n = 180 times.

The event of getting a sum of 5 in independent of the other results.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 180 and p = $\frac{1}{9}$ .

The expected value of X is:

$E(X)=np$

Compute the expected number of times Tamara expects the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 as follow:

$E(X)=np\\=180\times \frac{1}{9}\\=20$

Thus, Tamara should expect the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 20 times.

james' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. Although James worked 3 days less than David, they earned $180 each. Find the number

zalisa [80]

Answer: 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent James' daily wage

James' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. It means that Davis's daily wage will be $(x-5)

Let y represent number of days that James worked. James worked 3 days less than David. It means that the number of days that Davis worked would be (y + 3) days

they earned $180 each. Total amount of money earned by either of of them is the product of wage and the number of days worked.

Since James earned $180, then

180 = xy - - - - - - - - 1

Since Davis also earned $180, then

180 = (x - 5)(y + 3)

xy +3x -5y -15 = 180 - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting xy = 180 into equation 2

It becomes

180 + 3x - 5y -15 = 180

3x - 5y = 180 - 180 + 15

3x - 5y = 15 - - - - - - -3

From equation 1, x = 180/y

Substituting x = 180/y into equation 3, it becomes

3 × 180/y - 5y = 15

540 - 5y^2 = 15y

5y^2 + 15y -540 = 0

Dividing through by 5

y^2 + 3y -108 = 0

y^2 + 12y - 9y -108 = 0

y(y + 12) - 9(y + 12) = 0

y + 12 = 0 or y - 9 = 0

y = -12 or y = 9

Since the number of days cannot be negative, then,

Number of days that James worked will be 9 days

The total stopping distance T for a vehicle is T = 2.5x + 0.5x 2 , where T is in feet and x is the speed in miles per hour. Appr

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

% change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The stooping distance is given by

$T = 2.5 x + 0.5 x^{2}$

We will approximate this distance using the relation

$f (x + dx) = f (x)+ f' (x)dx$

dx = 26 - 25 = 1

T' = 2.5 + x

Therefore

$f(x)+f'(x)dx = 2.5x+ 0.5x^{2} + 2.5 +x$

This is the stopping distance at x = 25

Put x = 25 in above equation

2.5 × (25) + 0.5× $25^{2}$ + 2.5 + 25 = 402.5 ft

Stopping distance at x = 25

T(25) = 2.5 × (25) + 0.5 × $25^{2}$

T(25) = 375 ft

Therefore approximate change in stopping distance = 402.5 - 375 = 27.5 ft

% change in stopping distance = $\frac{27.5}{375}$ × 100

% change in stopping distance = 7.34 %
