Answer:

Train A: 125 tons

Train B: 25 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the situation as a+b=150, and we can also write the value for train b as a-100=b.

To make the equations have only one variable, we can use the substitution method to create a+(a-100)=100. In this, since we know what b equals, we were able to replace the b in the first equation with the value of b in the second equation. Next, we solve the problem for a.

a+(a-100)=150

a+a-100=150

2a-100=150

<u>    +100=+100</u>

2a=250

250/2=125

a=125

Now that we know that train A is 125 tons, we can plug 125 in the equation that represents the weight of train B. Train B is 100 tons lighter than train A, and the equation for train b is a-100=b. We can replace a with 125, creating 125-100=b.

Solve.

125-100=b

25=b

Check answers.

a+b=150

a=125

b=25

125+25=150

150=150

The answers are equal!! So, this means train B is 25 tons, and train A is 125.

Hope this helps!

sattari [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data

Pre-test... 12 14 11 12 13

Post-Test 15 17 11 13 12

The mean of pre-test

x = ΣX / n

x = (12+14+11+12+13) / 5

x = 12.4

The standard deviation of pre-test

S.D = √Σ(X-x)² / n

S.D = √[(12-12.4)²+(14-12.4)²+(11-12.4)²+(12-12.4)²+(13-12.4)² / 5]

S.D = √(5.2 / 5)

S.D = 1.02.

The mean of post-test

x' = ΣX / n

x' = (15+17+11+13+12) / 5

x' = 13.6

The standard deviation of post-test

S.D' = √Σ(X-x)² / n

S.D' = √[(15-13.6)²+(17-13.6)²+(11-13.6)²+(13-13.6)²+(12-13.6)² / 5]

S.D = √(23.2 / 5)

S.D = 2.15

Test value

t = (sample difference − hypothesized difference) / standard error of the difference

t = [(x-x') - (μ- μ')] / (S.D / n — S.D'/n)

t = (12.4-13.6) - (μ-μ')/ (1.02/5 - 2.15/5)

-1.5 = -1.2 - (μ-μ') / -0.226

-1.5 × -0.226 = -1.2 -(μ-μ')

​0.339 = -1.2 - (μ-μ')

(μ-μ') = -1.2 -0.339

μ-μ' = -1.539

Then, μ ≠ μ'

We can calculate our P-value using table.

This is a two-sided test, so the P-value is the combined area in both scores.

The p-value is 0.172

The p value > 0.1

Two functions are given below: f(x) and h(x). State the axis of symmetry for each function and explain how to find it.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

f(x):

x =  - 4

g(x)

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function is of the form:

f(x) = a {(x - h)}^{2}  + k

The equation of the axis of symmetry is

x = h

The given function is

f(x) = 3 {(x + 4)}^{2}  + 1

We can see that h=-4

Hence the equation of axis of symmetry is

x =  - 4

From the graph, the axis of symmetry of h(x) is the vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

This line is

x = 1

7..4745 x 10 to the 10th power
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

74,745,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you take the power and you move the decimal point over that man places:

7.4745 x 10 to the 10th power

Decimal point moves over 10 places to the right

= 74745,000,000

If the power was negative, you would move it left

Hope this helps!
