Answer:

X = 51

Y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

The equation is x + y = 63

x = 3y +15
y = y

New equation is:

3y + 15 + y = 63

Combine like variables:

4y + 15 = 63

Solve:

4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
4y = 48

Divide 4 from each side:

y = 12

To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:

x = 3y + 15
x = 3( 12) + 15
x = 51

The hours of daylight, y, in Utica in days x from January 1, 2013 can be modeled by the equation y = 2.89sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.

Pie

Answer:

9.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.$

Required

Hours of sunlight on Feb 21, 2013

First, calculate the number of days from Jan 1, 2013 to Feb 21, 2013

$days = 52$

So:

$x = 52$

So, we have:

$y = 2.89\sin(0.0145x-1.40) + 10.99.$

$y = 2.89\sin(0.0145*52-1.40) + 10.99.$

$y = 2.89\sin(0.754-1.40) + 10.99.$

$y = 2.89\sin(-0.646) + 10.99.$

$y = 2.89*-0.6020 + 10.99.$

$y = -1.740 + 10.99.$

$y = 9.25$

$y = 9.3$ --- approximated

A sample of small bottles and their contents has the following weights (in grams): 4, 2, 5, 4, 5, 2, and 6. What is the sample v

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

What is the sample variance of bottle weight 2.33

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the mean. The mean of the bottle weight is obtained by taking the ratio of the sum of ages and total number of ages.

Mean = (4+2+5+4+5+2+6) / 7

= 28 / 7

= 4

Sample Variance = $\frac{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(4-4)^{2} +(2-4)^{2} +\\(5-4)^{2} + (4-4)^{2} +\\(5-4)^{2} + (2-4)^{2} +\\(6-4)^{2}\end{array}\right]}{7-1}$

= $\frac{0+4+1+0+1+4+4}{6}$

= 2.33

Two spray paint machines are used to paint different portions of a large wall. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used

jonny [76]

Answer: The answer is 30 sq.ft/min and 25 sq.ft/min.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are two spray paint machines. The first machine (nicknamed "Paint Pro") is used for two hours and the second machine (nicknamed "Goldilocks") is used for an hour and a half. When they are working at the same time, they can paint 55 square feet per minute and together they painted 5850 square feet of wall.

Let 'x' and 'y' sq.ft/min be the portion of the wall painted by Paint Pro and Goldilocks respectively.

Then, according to the question, we have

$x+y=55,\\\\120x+90y=5850~~\Rightarrow 4x+3y=195.$

Multiplying first equation by 4 and subtracting the second equation from it, we have

$4y-3y=220-195\\\\\Rightarrow y=25,$

and

$x=55-25=30.$

Thus, Paint Pro will paint 30 sq.feet per minute and Goldilocks will paint 25 sq.ft per minute.

ANSWER ASAP! In an arithmetic sequence, a17 = -40 and

dsp73

Answer:

The Recursive Formula of sequence is: 8, 5, 2, -1, -4,...

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequence is a sequence in which every two neighbor digits have equal distances.

For finding the nth term, we use formula

aₙ = a + (n - 1) d

where, aₙ = value of nth term

a = First term

n = number of term

d = difference

We have given that,

a₁₇ = -40 ⇒ a₁₇ = a + (17 - 1)d

⇒ -40 = a + 16d → (1)

Also, a₂₈ = -73 ⇒ a₂₈ = a + (28 - 1)d

⇒ -73 = a + 27d → (2)

Solving, equation (1) and (2), We get

a = 8, d = -3

Hence, First term = a = 8

Second term = a + d = 8 - 3 = 5

Third term = 5 + d = 2

Fourth term = 2 + d = -1

Thus, The Arithmetic Sequence is: 8, 5, 2, -1, -4,...
