What does x equal in the equation x^1/4=2

If a=12 and 120% of a is equal to 80% of b then what is a+b

mojhsa [17]

A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18

a+b = 12 + 18 = 30

400 reduced by 3 times my age is 163

Blababa [14]

400 - 3x = 163

Add 3x to both sides.

400 = 163 + 3x

Subtract 163 to both sides.

237 = 3x

237/3 = 79

What is the graph of the rational function? Y=-3x+5/-5x+2

Natalija [7]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find critical points to graph the rational function.

When x = 0, then y = 5 / 2 = 2.5.

When y=0, then 0=-3x+5 and x= 5/3 =1.6667.

Plot the points (0,2.5) and (1.6667, 0). Then draw the "L" shape graphs of the rational function.

The mathematics department of a college has 15 male professors, 9 female professors, 6 male teaching assistants, and 12 female t

Vesnalui [34]

Given:

The number of male professors = 15.

The number of female professors = 9.

The number of male teaching assistants = 6.

The number of female teaching assistants = 12.

A person is selected randomly from the group.

Required:

We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

Explanation:

The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42

n(S) =The total number of people in the group

$n(S)=42$

Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.

The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30

n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.

$n(A)=30$

Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}$ $P(A)=\frac{30}{42}$ $P(A)=\frac{15}{21}=\frac{5}{7}$

Final answer:

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.

A map of a park says its scale is 1 to 100. What does that mean?

Alex777 [14]

A scale is a term that refers to the representative fraction for comparing the original length and image length of a given object. It means implies that every 1 unit on the drawing is equal to 100 units on the park.

A scale is a term that can be referred to as the representative fraction that compares the original length and image length of a given object. Types of scale include enlarged scale, reduced scale, and real scale.

Enlarged scale is a scale that is used when the size of a given object is to be increased.
Reduced scale is used when the size of a given object is to be decreased.
Real scale implies the exact size of a given object.

Scale can be expressed as;

Scale = $\frac{length on drawing}{original length}$

Thus a scale has no unit.

Therefore, the given question implies that every 1 unit on the drawing is equal to 100 units on the original park. Thus it is a reduced scale.
