Answer:

1/2x = 3*(27-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

Is means equals

Difference means subtract

1/2x = 3*(27-12)

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x = 3(27-12)$

$\frac{x}{2} = 3(27-12)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of a number is equal to three times the difference between 27 and 12.

Half of a number ( $x$ ): $\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{x}{2}$

Three times the difference between 27 and 12: $3(27-12)$

$\frac{1}{2} x = 3(27-12)$

By the way, we can find the value of $x$

$\frac{x}{2} = 3(27-12)$

$\frac{x}{2} = 45$

$x = 90$

Satellite dishes are shaped like parabolas to optimally revive signals. The cross section of a satellite dish can be modeled by

Anna11 [10]

The cross section of the satellite dish is an illustration of a quadratic function

The quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

<h3>How to determie the equation of the cross-section?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Width = 6 feet

Depth = 1.5 feet

Express the width the sum of two equal numbers

Width = 3 + 3

The above means that, the equation of the cross section passes through the x-axis at:

x = -3 and 3

So, we have:

y = a(x - 3) * (x + 3)

Express as the difference of two squares

y = a(x^2 - 9)

The depth is 1.5.

This is represented as: (x,y) =(0,-1.5)

So, we have:

-1.5 = a(0^2 - 9)

Evaluate the exponent

-1.5 = -9a

Divide both sides by -9

a = 1/6

Substitute 1/6 for a in y = a(x^2 - 9)

y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

Hence, the quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

5. A survey of student pizza preferences showed that 43 students preferred cheese, 56 preferred sausage, 39 preferred pepperoni,

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

P (Cheese) = 0.199, P (Sausage) = 0.259, P (Pepperoni) = 0.181,

P (Supreme) = 0.130, P (Another Kind) = 0.144

and P (Does not like any kind) = 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of students who prefer cheese = 43

Number of students who prefer sausage = 56

Number of students who prefer pepperoni = 39

Number of students who prefer supreme = 28

Number of students who prefer another kind = 31

Number of students who did not like any kind = 19

∴ The total number of students surveyed = $43+56+39+28+31+19=216$ The number of students who prefer pizza = $43+56+39+28+31=197$

The probability that a students likes pizza is,

$P(Student\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{197}{216} \\=0.912$

The probability that a students does not likes pizza is,

$P(Student\ does\ not\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ does\ not\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{19}{216} \\=0.088$

The probability distribution of students who prefer different kinds of pizza is:

The probability that a student likes cheese:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ cheese)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ cheese}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{43}{216}\\=0.199$

The probability that a student likes sausage:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ sausage)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ sausage}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{56}{216}\\=0.259$

The probability that a student likes pepperoni:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ pepperoni)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pepperoni}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{39}{216}\\=0.181$

The probability that a student likes supreme:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ supreme)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ supreme}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{28}{216}\\=0.130$

The probability that a student likes another kind:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ another\ kind)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ another\ kind}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{31}{216}\\=0.144$

Thus, the probability distribution table is displayed below:
