Caroline had 10 5/8 pounds of sunflower seeds. She gave some to Joe.

Use an algebraic approach to solve the problem.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 = ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

A particle moves along the curve y = 5x^2 – 1 in such a way that the y value is decreasing at the rate of 2 units per second. At

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Increasing one fifth unit/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that gives the curve of the particle of the particle is y = 5·x² - 1

The rate of decrease of the y value dy/dt = 2 units per second

We have;

dy/dx = dy/dt × dt/dx

dy/dx = 10·x

dy/dt = 2 units/sec

dt/dx = (dy/dx)/(dy/dt)

dx/dt = dy/dt/(dy/dx) = 2 unit/sec/(10·x)

When x = 1

dx/dt = 2/(10·x) = 2 unit/sec/(10 × 1) = 1/5 unit/sec

dx/dt = 1/5 unit/sec

Therefore, x is increasing one fifth unit/sec.

What is the area of the shape below

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The area of the shape is $A=886 \:cm^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape in the graph is a composite figure is made up of several simple geometric figures such as triangles, and rectangles.

Area is the space inside of a two-dimensional shape. We can also think of area as the amount of space a shape covers.

To calculate the area of a composite shape you must divide the shape into rectangles, triangles or other shapes you can find the area of and then add the areas back together.

First separate the composite shape into three simpler shapes, in this case two rectangles and a triangle. Then find the area of each figure.

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length of the rectangle by the width of the rectangle.

The area of the first rectangle is $A=34\cdot 16=544\:cm^2$

The area of the second rectangle is $A=11\cdot19=209\: cm^2$

The area of a triangle is given by the formula $A=\frac{1}{2} bh$ where <em>b</em> is the base and <em>h</em> is the height of the triangle.

The area of the triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 14\cdot19=133\:cm^2$

Finally, add the areas of the simpler figures together to find the total area of the composite figure.

$A_{composite\:shape}=544+209+133=886 \:cm^2$
