If a varies directly as b and a=3 when b=12, what is the value of a when b=18?

Mathematics

Answer:

a is proportional to b

a=kb

k is proportionality constant

k =a/b =3/12 =1/4

k=1/4 = a/b=a/18

1/4=a/18

a=18/4 =9/2 =4.5 answer

A circle is a geometric object that has symmetry about the vertical and horizontal lines through its center. When the circle is a unit circle (of radius 1) centered on the origin of the x-y plane, points in the first quadrant can be reflected across the x- or y- axes (or both) to give points in the other quadrants.

That is, if the terminal ray of an angle intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant, the point of intersection reflected across the y-axis will give an angle whose measure is the original angle subtracted from the measure of a half-circle. Since the measure of a half-circle is π radians, the reflection of the angle π/6 radians will be the angle π-π/6 = 5π/6 radians.

Reflecting 1st-quadrant angles across the origin into the third quadrant adds π radians to their measure. Reflecting them across the x-axis into the 4th quadrant gives an angle whose measure is 2π radians minus the measure of the original angle.

Muiltiply 8x^2(x^2+2xy-6y^2) simplify your answer
stepladder [879]

The answer would be 8x^4 + 16x^3y - 48x^2y^2

In order to find this, multiply 8x^2 by each term individually.

8x^2 * x^2 = 8x^4

8x^2 * 2xy = 16 x^3y

8x^2 * -6y^2 = -48x^2y^2

Now you can put them all in a row.

8x^4 + 16x^3y - 48x^2y^2

The amount of toothpaste in a tube is normally distributed with a mean of 6.5 ounces and a standard
Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) 266 tubes ,  TC_r = $53.2

b) 266 tubes ,  T.Loss = $13.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The sample size of tubes n = 1,000 tubes

- The mean of the sample u = 6.5 oz

- The standard deviation of the sample s.d = 0.8 oz

- Cost of manufacturing a tube C_t = 50 cents

- Cost of refilling a tube C_r = 20 cents

- Profit loss per tube Loss = 5 cents

Find:

a). How many tubes will be found to contain less than 6 ounces? In that case, what will be the total cost of the  refill?

b) How many tubes will be found to contain more than 7 ounces? In that case, what will be the amount of  profit lost?

Solution:

- First we will compute the probability of tube containing less than 6 oz.

- Declaring X : The amount of toothpaste.

Where,                         X ~ N ( 6.5 , 0.8 )

- We need to compute P ( X < 6 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X < 6 oz ) =  P ( Z < (6 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < -0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X < 6 oz ) = P ( Z < -0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies below 6 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X < 6 ounces = 1000* P ( X < 6 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            TC_r = C_f*(number of tubes with X < 6)

                            TC_r = 20*266 = 5320 cents = $53.2

- We need to compute P ( X > 7 oz )?

Compute the Z-score value:

                  P ( X > 7 oz ) =  P ( Z > (7 - 6.5) / 0.8 ) = P ( Z < 0.625 )

Use the Z table to find the probability:

                               P ( X > 7 oz ) = P ( Z > 0.625 ) = 0.266

- The probability that it lies above 7 ounces. The total sample size is n = 1000.

       The number of tubes with X > 7 ounces = 1000* P ( X > 7 oz )

                                                                           = 1000*0.266 = 266 tubes.

- The total cost of refill:

                            T.Loss = Loss*(number of tubes with X > 7)

                            T.Loss = 5*266 = 1330 cents = $13.30

Miss Goh bought 6 blouses, 2 skirts and 2 dresses for $560. A blouse and a skirt cost $107. A blouse and a dress cost $134. What
Yuri [45]

Answer:

$95 FOR A DRESS

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rearrange the given:

  She bought a blouse and skirt for two, a blouse and a dress for two, and a blouse for two.

     A blouse and a skirt cost $107

     A blouse and a dress cost $134

     blouse cost x dollars

The equation:

     2($107) + 2($134) + 2x = $560

SOLUTION:

   $214 + $268 + 2x = $560

   2x = $560 - $214 - $268

   2x = $78

   x = $39 for a single blouse

FIND THE COST OF DRESS:

   A blouse and a dress cost $134 - $39 for a single blouse

      $134 - $39 = $95

$95 IS THE COST OF DRESS
