Mathematics
1 answer:
Flura [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

29 4/5 = 29.8 = 30

The 8 in the tenths place is greater than 4 so we round up.

Jose wants to make 6 qt. of a 54% saline solution by mixing together a 50% saline solution and a 60% saline solution. How much o
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

3.6 qt. and 2.4 qt respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be x% of 50% saline solution. And (100-x%) be the percentage of 60% saline solution.

54=x*(50/100)+(100-x)*(60/100), solving it we will get x=60%. So we need 3.6 qt. of 50% saline solution and 2.4 qt. of 60% saline solution

X-2/x-1=x+4/2x+2 show work
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x = -(i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x - 1 - 2/x = 3 x + 2

Bring x - 1 - 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x^2 - x - 2)/x = 3 x + 2

Multiply both sides by x:

x^2 - x - 2 = x (3 x + 2)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

x^2 - x - 2 = 3 x^2 + 2 x

Subtract 3 x^2 + 2 x from both sides:

-2 x^2 - 3 x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by -2:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 = -1

Add 9/16 to both sides:

x^2 + (3 x)/2 + 9/16 = -7/16

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 3/4)^2 = -7/16

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 3/4 = (i sqrt(7))/4 or x + 3/4 = -(i sqrt(7))/4

Subtract 3/4 from both sides:

x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x + 3/4 = -(i sqrt(7))/4

Subtract 3/4 from both sides:

Answer:  x = (i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4 or x = -(i sqrt(7))/4 - 3/4

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of ( - 8,0) and a directrix of y= - 2 What can be said about the parabola?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is:

y

=

1

32

x

2

Explanation:

Please notice that we know that the parabola opens upward or downward, because the directrix is a horizontal line:

y

=

−

8

This tells use that the equation of the parabola of the form:

y

=

f

(

x

)

Not

x

=

f

(

y

)

.

Furthermore, we can see that it must open upward, because the y coordinate of the focus is above the directrix.

The vertex has the same x coordinate as the focus:

x

=

0

And its y coordinate is halfway between the focus and the directrix:

y

=

8

−

8

2

=

0

Therefore the vertex is

(

0

,

0

)

Use the vertex form of the equation of a parabola that opens upward or downward:

y

=

a

(

x

−

h

)

2

+

k

where the vertex is the point

(

h

,

k

)

.

Substitute the vertex into the equation:

y

=

a

(

x

−

0

)

2

+

0

Simplify:

y

=

a

x

2

The distance, f, from the vertex to the focus is,

f

=

8

; this allows use to find the value of

a

, using the equation:

a

=

1

f

a

=

The equation of the parabola is:

y

The number of defects in the first five cars to come through a new production line are 9, 7, 10, 4, and 6, respectively. If the
garri49 [273]

Answer:

D. I and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of first fie defects are given as 9,7,10,4 and 6.

First we have to arrange the above data in ascending order which is 4,6,7,9,10

  • Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 3 then our data will look like:    3,4,6,7,9,10

So the mean of above data would be \frac{3+4+6+7+9+10}{6} = 6.5

and Median of the above data would be = \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = \frac{6+7}{2} = 6.5

Hence mean and median number of defects are same if the sixth car has 3 defects.

  • Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 12 then our data will look like:    4,6,7,9,10,12

So the mean of above data would be \frac{4+6+7+9+10+12}{6} = 8

and Median of the above data would be = \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = \frac{7+9}{2} = 8

Hence mean and median number of defects are same if the sixth car has 12 defects.

  • But Now if we consider the defect in sixth car to be 7 then our data will look like:    4,6,7,7,9,10        

So the mean of above data would be \frac{4+6+7+7+9+10}{6} = 7.167    

and Median of the above data would be =  \frac{3^{rd} obs + 4^{th}  obs}{2} = 7

   Hence mean and median number of defects are not same if the sixth car has 7 defects.      

Therefore option D is correct.

The circle passes through the point (-1,8). What is it’s radius? Options: A: 3 B: √8 C: √6 D: 2.75
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B √8

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle is:

(x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²

where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

The center of the circle is (1, 6).

(x − 1)² + (y − 6)² = r²

The circle passes through the point (-1, 8).

(-1 − 1)² + (8 − 6)² = r²

4 + 4 = r²

r = √8
