X + y = 152, 8.5x + 12y = 1,656 How many hats were sold?

Mathematics

Elodia [21]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656

From equation 1:

x = 152-y

Putting the value of y in equation 2

8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park
bonufazy [111]

Year      New flowers

1                 1200

2                 300

3                   75

There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year

Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by \frac{1}{4}

So first term is 1200 and common ratio is \frac{1}{4}.

Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes

i =1∑ ∞ 1200(\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}

Now we find the sum

We use sum formula

Sum = \frac{a}{1-r}

Where a is the first term , a= 1200

r is the common ratio , r= 1/4

Sum = \frac{1200}{1-(\frac{1}{4})}

Sum = \frac{1200}{\frac{3}{4}}

Sum = 1600 wildflowers

Given sin(u)= -7/25 and cos(v) = -4/5, what is the exact value of cos(u-v) if both angles are in quadrant 3
solmaris [256]

Given:

\sin (u)=-\dfrac{7}{25}

\cos (v)=-\dfrac{4}{5}

To find:

The exact value of cos(u-v) if both angles are in quadrant 3.

Solution:

In 3rd quadrant, cos and sin both trigonometric ratios are negative.

We have,

\sin (u)=-\dfrac{7}{25}

\cos (v)=-\dfrac{4}{5}

Now,

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-\sin^2 (u)}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-(-\dfrac{7}{25})^2}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{49}{625}}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{625-49}{625}}

On further simplification, we get

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{576}{625}}

\cos (u)=-\dfrac{24}{25}

Similarly,

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2 (v)}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-(-\dfrac{4}{5})^2}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{16}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{25-16}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\dfrac{3}{5}

Now,

\cos (u-v)=\cos u\cos v+\sin u\sin v

\cos (u-v)=\left(-\dfrac{24}{25}\right)\left(-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{7}{25}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3}{25}\right)

\cos (u-v)=\dfrac{96}{625}+\dfrac{21}{625}

\cos (u-v)=\dfrac{1 17}{625}

Therefore, the value of cos (u-v) is 0.1872.

The temperature at any random location in a kiln used in the manufacture of bricks is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 a
NeX [460]

Answer:

b. 2.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean temperatue (μ) = 1000°F

Standard Deviation (σ) = 50 °F

For any temperature value, X, the z-score is given by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

For X= 900°F

z=\frac{900-1000}{50}\\z=-2.0

A z-score of -2.0 corresponds to the 2.28-th percentile of a normal distribution. Therefore, the probability that X<900 is:

P(X

If the equation of a line passes through the points (1, 3) and (0, 0), which form would be used to write the equation of the lin
umka2103 [35]
I'd use the point-slope form, because it'd require the least amount of work.

The slope of this line is 3/1, or just 3.

Thus, y = mx + b  becomes  3 = 3(1) + b, and b = 0.  Thus, we get y = 3x (ans.)
