-5(x+7)<-10.
You need to use the distributive property.
-5x - 35 < -10.
You need to cancel out -35, so you add it to itself, & -10.
-5x < 25.
You need to divide -5 by itself & 25.
x>-5.

the length of a side of the square is 4x-1. write a simplified expression that represents the perimeter of the square

Temka [501]

Answer: 16x - 4

Explanation: Since all of the sides of a square are equal in length by definition, the perimeter of a square is 4 times its side length. 4(4x-1) is 16x - 4 when simplified.

A student is considering publishing a new magazine aimed directly at owners of Japanese automobiles. He wanted to estimate the f

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

With p(japan) representing the true population proportion of US automobile that are made in Japan, the computer output 90% confidence

0.29938661 < p(japan) < 0.46984416

mean that p(japan); the true population proportion of US automobile that are made in Japan lies within the range of proportions (0.29938661, 0.46984416) with an assurance level of 90%.

b) 90% confidence mean that the true proportion may or may not be in the given range, but we are 90% certain that it does.

c) The confidence interval contradicts the politician's claim that "Half of all cars in the United States are made in Japan" because the proportion in the politician's claim, (0.50), does not lie within the range of values that our confidence interval says the true population proportion can take on; (0.29938661, 0.46984416).

0.50 lies outside of the confidence interval obtained for the true population proportion of US automobiles that are made in Japan, hence, the confidence interval contradicts the politician's claim.

Hope this Helps!!!

Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x® and cos yº What relationship do the ratios of sin

Flauer [41]

Answer:

sin(x) and cos(y) are equal and have ratio of 1 : 1

First find the missing hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem:

a² + b² = c²

12² + 5² = c²

c = √144+25

c = 13

using sine rule:

$sin(x) = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(x) = \dfrac{5}{13}$

using cosine rule:

$cos(y) = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$cos(y) = \dfrac{5}{13}$

A company manufactures two different sizes of boat lifts. The smaller lift requires 1 hour in the welding department and 2 hours

qaws [65]

Answer:

The solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 small lifts and 50 large lifts.

Below are all the steps explained in detail.

The graph is attached.

Explanation:

1. Name the variables:

x: number of smaller lifts
y: number of larger lifts

2. Build a table to determine the number of hours each lift requires from each department:

Number of hours

small lift large lift total per department

Welding department 1x 3y x + 3y

Packaging department 2x 1y 2x + y

3. Constraints

150 hours available in welding: x + 3y ≤ 150
120 hours available in packaging: 2x + y ≤ 120
The variables cannot be negative: x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0

Then you must:

draw the lines and regions defined by each constraint
determine the region of solution that satisfies all the constraints
determine the vertices of the solution region
test the profit function for each of the vertices. The vertex that gives the greatest profit is the solution (the number of each tupe that should be produced to maximize profits)

4. Graph

See the graph attached.

Here is how you draw it.

x + 3y ≤ 150
draw the line x + 3y = 150 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
shade the region below and to the left of the line

2x + y ≤ 120
draw the line 2x + y ≤ 120 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
shade the region below and to the left of the line

x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: means that only the first quadrant is considered

the solution region is the intersection of the regions described above.

take the points that are vertices inside the solutoin region.

5. Test the profit function for each vertex

The profit function is P(x,y) = 25x + 90y

The vertices shown in the graph are:

(0,0)
(0,50)
(42,36)
(60,0)

The profits with the vertices are:

P(0,0) = 0
P(0,50) = 25(0) + 90(50) = 4,500
P(42,36) = 25(42) + 90(36) = 4,290
P(60,0) = 25(60) + 90(0) = 1,500

Thus, the solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 smaller lifts and 90 larger lifts.
