Nataly [62]4 years ago

The equation given in the question is
3x - 1 = 27
3x = 27 + 1
3x = 28
x = 28/3
  = 9 1/3
  = 9.33
So the value of x is 9 1/3 or 9.33. i hope there is nothing complicated in the procedure and so it is easy for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any additional help from outside. Only be careful about the calculation part. Other than that there is nothing tough about the given problem.

3x -1= 27
⇒ 3x= 27+ 1 (inverse operation)
⇒ 3x= 28
⇒ x= 28/3 (inverse operation)
⇒ x= (27+1)/3
⇒ x= 27/3+ 1/3
⇒ x= 9+ 1/3
⇒ x= 9 1/3

Final answer: x= 9 1/3.

A company is looking to design a new cover for their smartphone. The scale drawing of the design is shown below. The coordinates
lyudmila [28]
The coordinates of the corners in the scale drawing of the desing are:

H = (2,0)
I = (0,0)
J = (0,4)
K = (2,4)

That makes the lengths of the segments be:

HI = 2 - 0 = 2
JK = 2 - 0 =2
JI = 4 - 0 = 4
KH = 4 - 0 = 4

Now check the segments of the actual cover:

H'I' = 10 - 0 = 10
K'J' = 10 - 0 = 10
J'I' = 16 - 0 = 16
K'H' = 16 - 0 = 16

Now check corresponding segments meet proportionality criterium, which is needed for similarity:

H'I' / HI = 10 /2 = 5

K'J' / KJ = 10 / 2 = 5.

So far we this is fine.

JI / J'I' = 16 / 4 = 4............ then not, the ratio is not the same ratio of the other two segments, which implies that the scale used for the vertical segments is different to the scale used for the horizontal segments, driving to a non similar figure.

Answer: no, because the corresponding sides are not proportional

3. A researcher wanted to find out whether higher levels of a certain drug given to experimental rats would decrease the time it
frez [133]

Answer:

The answer to each question is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the problem states, a researcher is ttrying to find whether higher levels of a drug given to experimental rats would decrease the time it take them complete a maze to find food.

a. As you can see the researcher is aplying different treatments (doses or levels of the drug) to the rats and thats why this is an experimental study not an observational one (in which there are no treatments imposed by the researcher).

b. If the population of rats that are under study consist of 30 individuals and there are three treatments (three levels of the drug: 0 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg), the researcher should assign 10 rats to each treatment. Here the dose of 0 mg acts as a control.

So, each rat will receive its respective dose of drug and then has to do the maze. The researcher will register the time the rat needs to find food. To avoid incidence of the researcher in the assay there will be something that acts as barrier between the rat and the researcher, this way the rat will not see the researcher and will be only focused on finding the food.  

With obtained data, the researcher will evaluate the incidence of the drug on the time the rat completes the maze.
