Which of the following statements are true ?????

which equation, written in standard form correctly represents this scenario and indicates what the variables represent?

pishuonlain [190]

The answer is the third option.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must keep on mind the information given in the exercise:

- She bough 3 pounds of coffee.

- She bought 2 pounds of chocolate.

- She spent a total of $24.

2. Therefore, you can call the price per pound of coffee $x$ and the price per pound of chocolate $y$ .

3. When you multiply 3 pounds by the price per pound of coffee, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 3 pounds. When you multiply 2 pounds by the price per pound of chocolate, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 2 pounds. If you add both amounts, you obtain the total spent, which was $24.

4. Therefore, you can express this as following:

$3x+2y=24$

an Carlos County Health Department reported 17 new cases of tuberculosis in the first half of 2001 and 18 additional cases durin

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

San Carlos County

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of cases of tuberculosis reported in the first half of 2001 = 17

Number of cases of tuberculosis reported in the second half = 18

Total number of cases reported = 35 (17 + 18)

Population of the county at the beginning of 2001 = 204,500

Population of the county at the end of the year = 215,000

Average population for the year = 209,750 (204,500 + 215,000)/2

Therefore, the incidence rate of tuberculosis in the county = 35/209,750 * 100

= 0.000167

b) Since the incidence rate is <1, it suggests that the population of San Carlos County is at a very reduced risk of exposure to tuberculosis. This means that only 1 in 6,000 (209,750/35) people are exposed to the disease in the county.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x +1)/8 - (x-1)/3 = 5/24

multiple the 2x+1/8 by 3 and multiple (x-1)/3 by 8 then add them up

6x+3/24 - 8x-8/24 ➡ 6x-8x+11/24 = 5/24

➡ -2x+11 = 5

➡ -2x = 5-11

➡ x = 3

Answer:

What is the relationship between equations and graphs?

Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

George is considering two different investment options. The first option offers 7.4% per year simple interest on the

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Part A: The value of the simple interest investment at the end of three years is $12,220

Part B: The value of the compounded quarterly interest investment at the end of three years is $12,134.08

Part C: The simple interest investment is better over the first three years

Part D: I advise George to invest his money in the compounded interest investment if he will keep the money for a long time

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

A = P + P r t, where

A represents the value of the investment
P represents the original amount
r represents the rate in decimal
t represents the time in years

∵ George deposits $10,000

∴ P = 10,000

∵ First option offers 7.4% per year simple interest

∴ r = 7.4% = 7.4 ÷ 100 = 0.074

∵ He may not withdraw any of the money for three years after

the initial deposit

∴ t = 3

- Substitute all of these values in the formula above

∴ A = 10,000 + 10,000(0.074)(3)

∴ A = 10,000 + 2,220

∴ A = 12,220

The value of the simple interest investment at the end of three years is $12,220

Part B:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ , where

A represents the value of the investment
P represents the original amount
r represents the rate in decimal
n is a number of periods of a year
t represents the time in years

∵ George deposits $10,000

∴ P = 10,000

∵ The second option offers a 6.5% interest rate compounded quarterly

∴ r = 6.5% = 6.5 ÷ 100 = 0.065

∴ n = 4 ⇒ quarterly

∵ He may not withdraw any of the money for three years after

the initial deposit

∴ t = 3

- Substitute all of these values in the formula above

∴ $A=10,000(1+\frac{0.065}{4})^{(4)(3)}$

∴ $A=10,000(1.01625)^{12}$

∴ A = 12,134.08

The value of the compounded quarterly interest investment at the end of three years is $12,134.08

Part C:

∵ 12,220 > 12,134.08

∴ The simplest interest investment is better than the compounded

interest investment at the end of three years

The simple interest investment is better over the first three years

Part D:

I advise George to invest his money in the compounded interest investment if he will keep the money for a long time

Look to the attached graph below

The red line represents the simple interest investment
The blue curve represents the compounded interest investment
(Each 1 unit in the vertical axis represents $1000)
After 0 years and before 4.179 years the red line is over the blue curve, that means the simple interest is better because it gives more money than the compounded interest
After that the blue curve is over the red line that means the compounded quarterly is better because it gives more money than the simple interest
