Alarger number is 2 more than 4 times a smaller number. The larger number is also 8 more than 2 times the smaller number. 4x+2 y

2x+8 What is the value of the smaller number in the mathematical problem?​

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

the value of the smallest number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of the smaller number is shown below:

Given that

y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 8

Now equate these two equations

4x + 2 = 2x + 8

4x - 2x = 8 - 2

2x = 6

x = 3

Hence, the value of the smallest number is 3

The same is to be considered

What else would need to be congruent to show that triangle EFG=~ triangle HIJ by SSS?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to prove congruency using SSS, we need to prove that all three pairs of sides are congruent.

We are already given that EF ≅ HI and that FG ≅ IJ.

Therefore, the last bit of information we need to prove congruency using SSS is that EG ≅ HJ.

Hence, our answer is C.

Does the series converge or diverge? If it converges, what is the sum? Show your work. ∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the series,

∑ ∞ n = 1 − 4 ( − 1 / 2 ) n − 1

I think the series is summation from n = 1 to ∞ of -4(-1/2)^(n-1)

So,

∑ − 4 ( − ½ )^(n − 1). From n = 1 to ∞

There are different types of test to show if a series converges or diverges

So, using Ratio test

Lim n → ∞ (a_n+1 / a_n)

Lim n → ∞ (-4(-1/ 2)^(n+1-1) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ ((-4(-1/2)^(n) / -4(-1/2)^(n-1))

Lim n → ∞ (-1/2)ⁿ / (-1/2)^(n-1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^(n-n+1)

Lim n→ ∞ (-1/2)^1 = -1/2

Since the limit is less than 0, then, the series converge...

Sum to infinity

Using geometric progression formula

S∞ = a / 1 - r

Where

a is first term

r is common ratio

So, first term is

a_1 = -4(-½)^1-1 = -4(-½)^0 = -4 × 1

a_1 = -4

Common ratio r = a_2 / a_1

a_2 = 4(-½)^2-1 = -4(-½)^1 = -4 × -½ = 2

a_2 = 2

Then,

r = a_2 / a_1 = 2 / -4 = -½

S∞ = -4 / 1--½

S∞ = -4 / 1 + ½

S∞ = -4 / 3/2 = -4 × 2 / 3

S∞ = -8 / 3 = -2⅔

The sum to infinity is -2.67 or -2⅔

Mr Smith's art class took a bus trip to an art museum. The bus averaged 65 miles per hour on the highway and 25 miles per hour i
Leya [2.2K]
Let x be the distance traveled on the highway and y the distance traveled in the city, so:
\left \{ {{x+y=375} \atop { \frac{1}{65}x+ \frac{1}{25}y =7}} \right.
 
Now, the system of equations in matrix form will be:
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} &\end{array}\right]   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&\\y&\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&\\7&\end{array}\right]

Next, we are going to find the determinant:
D=  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] =(1)( \frac{1}{25}) - (1)( \frac{1}{65} )= \frac{8}{325}
Next, we are going to find the determinant of x:
D_{x} =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&1\\7& \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] = (375)( \frac{1}{25} )-(1)(7)=8

Now, we can find x:
x=  \frac{ D_{x} }{D} = \frac{8}{ \frac{8}{325} } =325mi

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y:
y=375-325=50mi

Remember that time equals distance over velocity; therefore, the time on the highway will be:
t_{h} = \frac{325}{65} =5hours
An the time on the city will be:
t_{c} = \frac{50}{25} =2hours

We can conclude that the bus was five hours on the highway and two hours in the city.

A Starbucks coffee shop serves an average of 3500 customers per day, with a standard deviation of 250. What is the probability t
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of cofee shops of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:  

X \sim N(3500,250)  

Where \mu=3500 and \sigma=250  

We are interested on this probability  

P(3300  

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}  

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:  

P(3300  

And we can find this probability with this difference:  

P(-0.8
