Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

120 divided by 3/5 is the same thing as 120 times 5/3.

So 120 x 5 = 600

And 600 divided by 3 is 200

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points using the slope formula. Describe the slope as positive, negative, z

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 17) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3+17}{-5+5}$ = $\frac{14}{0}$

Since division by zero is undefined, then

the slope of the line is undefined

(4) use the method of lagrange multipliers to determine the maximum value of f(x, y) = x a y b (the a and b are two fixed positi

wlad13 [49]

Assuming $f(x,y)=x^ay^b$ . We have Lagrangian

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x^ay^b+\lambda(x+y-1)$

with partial derivatives (set to 0)[/tex]

$L_x=ax^{a-1}y^b+\lambda=0\implies ax^{a-1}y^b=-\lambda$
$L_y=bx^ay^{b-1}+\lambda=0\implies bx^ay^{b-1}=-\lambda$
$L_\lambda=x+y-1=0$

$\implies ax^{a-1}y^b=bx^ay^{b-1}\implies -bx+ay=0$
$x+y-1=0\implies x+y=1$

Solving this system of linear equations yields $x=\dfrac a{a+b}$ and $y=\dfrac b{a+b}$ as the sole critical point, which in turn gives a maximum value of $f\left(\dfrac a{a+b},\dfrac b{a+b}\right)=\dfrac{a^ab^b}{(a+b)^{a+b}}$ .

The table below shows the outcome (whether the death penalty is imposed or not) of murder trials in Florida between 1976 and 198

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Option A (0.1135,0.028)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of white defendants who got death penalty = 53

Number of Black defendants who got death penalty = 4

Total Penalty for white defendants = 53 + 414 = 197

Total Penalty for Black defendants = 4 + 139 = 14

First we will calculate the proportion of white defendants that got the death penalty

=Number of white defendants who got death penalty / total penalty

= (53)/(197)

= 0.1135

Black defendants that got the death penalty

= Number of Black defendants who got death penalty/ total penalty

= (4)/(143)

= 0.028

Therefore<u> Option A</u> is the correct answer.

Hector buys a shirt and a tie. The shirt costs $34, which is $18 more than the cost of the tie. Olivia and Max each write an equ

Komok [63]

Answer:

Both equations are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

s-----> the cost of the shirt

t-----> the cost of the tie

we know that

$s=34$

$t=s-18$

substitute

$t=34-18$ -----> linear equation that represent the situation

rewrite 1

Adds 18 both sides

$t=34-18$ -------> $t+18=34$ ------> Olivia equation is correct

rewrite 2

Subtract t both sides

$t+18=34$ --------> $18=34-t$ ------> Max equation is correct
