When you go to the store, pick up some stuff from the shelves,
and take it to the check-out, the checkout lady adds up all
the prices of the things you bought, and then she ADDS the
sales tax to the sum.  The amount of money you pay is always
MORE after she adds the tax than it was before she added it.

the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.

the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.

a)

if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6  = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.

b)

clearly we can never get an output  of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.

let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

\bf \underset{final~out put}{\stackrel{y}{-5}}=x^2-6\implies 1=x^2\implies \sqrt{1}=x\implies 1=x

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

\bf \underset{first~out put}{\stackrel{y}{1}}=\sqrt{x-5}\implies 1^2=x-5\implies 1=x-5\implies 6=x

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

\bf \stackrel{first~machine}{y=\sqrt{\boxed{6}-5}}\implies y=\sqrt{1}\implies y=1 \\\\\\ \stackrel{second~machine}{y = \boxed{1}^2-6}\implies y = 1-6\implies y = -5

Pam typed 2.5 pages in 15 minutes. At that rate, how many minutes will it take her to type 23 pages?
NeX [460]
In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
                                                                     = 345/2.5
                                                                     = 3450/25
                                                                    = 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages

How do you work this out
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students in each grade you multiply the marks by the frequency density. The number of students is given by the area under the  rectangles.

So to find the number of students with grade U (< 160)  it is:

120 * 0.2 + 40*0.5

= 24 + 20

= 44.

The number for Grade E

= (200 - 160) * 0.5

= 40 * 0.5

= 20.

The others can be found in the same way.

A loaf of bread is cut into slices of equal size. Some of the loaf is used in a recipe and 2/12 of the loaf is used to make a sa
gtnhenbr [62]
Answer:
Fraction of bread used in the recipe is 3/12 which can be further simplified into 1/4

Explanation:
The original loaf of bread is 100% complete (no fraction is taken from it yet). This means that the value of the original loaf is 12/12

Now, assume that the fraction used in the recipe is x

We know that:
2/12 of the loaf was used in making a sandwich
7/12 of the oaf was put in the refrigerator

Therefore:
complete loaf = fraction used in making a sandwich + fraction used in making recipe + fraction put in refrigerator
12/12 = x + 2/12 + 7/12
12/12 = x + 9/12
x = 12/12 - 9/12
x = 3/12 

Hope this helps :)
