Answer:  The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
  • <em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18  

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Products produced by a machine has a 3% defective rate. What is the probability that the first defective occurs in the fifth ite
labwork [276]

Answer: The required probability is 0.1328.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 5

Probability of success = p = defective rate = 3% = 0.03

Probability of failure = q = 1-p = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

So, we will use "Binomial distribution":

probability that the first defective occurs in the fifth item inspected would be

P(X=1)=^5C_1(0.03)^1(0.097)^4\\\\P(X=1)=0.1328

Hence, the required probability is 0.1328.

Answer:

7. x=3

8. l=11cm and w=7 cm

9. x-5\ge12

10. \frac{x}{3}\le15

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 7.

The given expression is:

12-3(2x+1)=7x-3(7+x)

Expand the parenthesis using the distributive property:

12-6x-3=7x-21-3x

Group similar terms:

-6x-7x+3x=-21+3-12

Simplify

-10x=-30

Divide both sides by -10

x=3

Question 8:

Let the width of the rectangle be; w

The length of the rectangle is l=w+4

The perimeter is given as: P=2(l+w)

Given that the perimeter P=36, then:

36=2[(w+4)+w)]

\implies 36=2(2w+4)

Divide both sides by 2:

\implies 18=2w+4

Subtract 4 from both sides:

\implies 18-4=2w

\implies 14=2w

\implies w=7

The dimensions of the rectangle is: w=7 cm and l=7+4=11cm

Question 9

Let the number be x.

"5 fewer than the number" is written as x-5

"5 fewer than a number is at least 12" becomes

x-5\ge12

Question 10:

Let the number be x.

The quotient of a number and 3 is written as:

\frac{x}{3}

The quotient of a number and 3 is no more than 15 is written as;

\frac{x}{3}\le15

A bridge constructed over a bayou has a supporting arch in the shape of an inverted parabola. Find the equation of the parabolic
babymother [125]

Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.

So, we have

(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)

A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c

40 = a50² + b50 + c

0 = a100² + b100 + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴

40 = a50² + b50

0 = a100² + b100

_________________________

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)

10000a + 100b = 0

_________________________

5000a + 100b = 80

10000a + 100b = 0 (-)

__________________________

-5000a = 80

-a=80/5000

a=-0.016

∴

2500a + 50b = 40

2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40

-40 + 50b = 40

50b = 80

b = 80/50

b = 1.6

This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is expressed as

y = 1/(x - 2)

We will assume values for x and determine the corresponding values for y. Therefore,

When x = 0, y = 1/(0 - 2) = - 1/2

When x = 1, y = 1/(1 - 2) = - 1

When x = 2, y = 1/(2 - 2) = 0

When x = 3, y = 1/(3 - 2) = 1

When x = 4, y = 1/(4 - 2) = 1/2

To plot the graph, we would choose a suitable scale for the x and y axis of the graph.

Let 2 cm represent 1 unit on the vertical axis.

Let 2 cm represent 0.5 unit on the x axis.

The graph is shown in the attached photo
