Answer:

  • girl: 7
  • boy: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g and b represent the numbers of candy canes the girl and boy have, respectively.

  g -1 = b +1 . . . . . . girl gives to boy, they're equal

  g +1 = 2(b -1) . . . . boy gives to girl; she has double

Adding 1 to the first equation gives an expression for g that can be substituted into the second equation.

  g = b +2

  (b +2) +1 = 2b -2

  5 = b . . . . . . . . . . add 2-b, simplify

  g = 5+2 = 7 . . . . . find g

The girl has 7 candy canes; the boy has 5.

If on the unit circle C , the distance from P (1, 0) to the point T ( 5/13, 12/13 ) is x , determine the coordinates of the poin
Lorico [155]

Answer:

T' (\frac{5}{13},- \frac{12}{13})

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

This is a unit circle having a radius (r) = 1 unit.

So, the length of the circumference of the circle will be 2πr = 2π units.

Now, the point on the circle at a distance of x along the arc from P is T(\frac{5}{13},\frac{12}{13}).

Therefore, the point on the circle at a distance of 2π - x along the arc from P will be T' (\frac{5}{13},- \frac{12}{13}), where, T' is the image of point T, when reflected over the x-axis. (Answer)

If a salesperson sells a car at a profit of $1,000, how much will the commission be? If the car is sold for a $1,500 profit, wha
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The graph (or piecewise function) shows that for a profit of $1,000 the salesperson will earn a commission of 17%:

      C(p) = 0.17 p

C(1,000) = 0.17 (1,000)

C(1,000) = 170

Therefore, the salesperson will earn $170 as commission on a profit of $1,000.

If the car sells for a profit of $1,500, the commission will still be 17%. This commission is governed by the second equation because the third equation (21%) does not include the endpoint 1,500. So:

      C(p) = 0.17 p

C(1,500) = 0.17 (1,500)

C(1,500) = 255

The salesperson will earn $255 as commission on a profit of $1,500.

In circle M with m \angle LMN= 46m∠LMN=46 and LM=7LM=7 units, find the length of arc LN. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

l =  5.62 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for measuring the length of an arc is expressed as;

l = r \theta

r is the radius

\theta is the central angle in radians

r = LM = 7units

\theta = \frac{46 \pi}{180} \\\theta = \frac{23 \pi}{90} \\

Substitute into the formula

l = 7 \times \frac{23 \pi}{90}  \\l = 7 \times \frac{23 \times 3.14}{90}  \\l = 7 \times 0.8024\\l =  5.62 units

Hence the length of arc LN is 5.62 units to the nearest hundredth
