Answer:

  • a = 6
  • b = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of smallest sides in the two triangles is ...

  smaller / larger = 4/10

To find A and B, we write proportions involving corresponding side lengths.

__

Side A in the smaller triangle is ...

  A/15 = 4/10

  A = (4/10)(15) = 6

__

The ratio of larger to smaller is the inverse of the above ratio, so ...

  B/9 = 10/4

  B = (10/4)(9) = 22.5

Solve for m<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g%20%3D%204cm%20-%203m" id="TexFormula1" title="g = 4cm - 3m" alt="g = 4cm - 3m

This is what is called a literal equation.  Solve it for m just like you would solve any equation for x.  Isolate the term with the variable you're looking for.  Do this by subtracting 4cm from both sides to give you g - 4cm = -3m.  Now we need to divide by -3 to get m alone: \frac{g-4cm}{-3}=m.  Or we could lose the negative on the 3 in the denominator like this: \frac{-g+4cm}{3}=m and \frac{4cm-g}{3}=m.  There you go!  Any one of those last three would work.  It just depends upon how your teacher wants you to express your answer.

Let be the statement ""x has a cat,"" let be the statement ""x has a dog,"" and let be the statement ""x has a ferret."" Express
jarptica [38.1K]

Complete question is:

Let C(x) be the statement “x has a cat,” let D(x) be the statement “x has a dog”, and let F(x) be the statement “x has a ferret”. Express each of these statements in terms of C(x), D(x), F(x), quantifiers, and logical connectives. Let the domain consist of all students in your class.

a) A student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret.

b) All students in your class have a cat, a dog, or a ferret.

c) Some student in your class has a cat and a ferret, but not a dog.

d) No student in your class has a cat, a dog, and a ferret.

e) For each of the three animals, cats, dogs, and ferrets, there is a student in your class who has this animal as a pet.

Answer:

a) ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

b) ∀x(C(x) ∨ D(x) ∨ F(x))

c) ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ¬ F(x))

d) ¬∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

e) (∃xC(x)) ∧ (∃xD(x)) ∧ (∃xF(x))

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

C(x) = “x has a cat”

D(x) = “x has a dog”

F(x) = “x has a ferret”

We will make use of the following interpretation symbols;

Negation ¬ A : Not A

Disjunction A ∨ B : A or B

Conjunction A ∧ B : A and B

Existential quantification ∃ x A(x) : There exists an element x in the domain such that A(x)

Universal Quantification ∀x A(x) : A(x) for all values of x in the domain

So, using the above interpretations, we can answer the questions as;

a) ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

b) ∀x(C(x) ∨ D(x) ∨ F(x))

c) ∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ¬ F(x))

d) ¬∃x(C(x) ∧ D(x) ∧ F(x))

e) (∃xC(x)) ∧ (∃xD(x)) ∧ (∃xF(x))

An economist wants to estimate the mean income for the first year of work for college graduates who have had the profound wisdom
suter [353]

Answer:

We need at least 601 incomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many such incomes must be found if we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within $500 of the true population mean?

We have to find n, for which M = 500, \sigma = 6250. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

500 = 1.96*\frac{6250}{\sqrt{n}}

500\sqrt{n} = 1.96*6250

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*6250}{500}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*6250}{500})^{2}

n = 600.25

Rounding up

We need at least 601 incomes.

wlad13 [49]

A) Tonya bought 3 games at X price, so 3X would be total amount.

B) Tony's cost was 0.50 less than X, so x-0.50, he bought 4 games, so he spent 4(x-0.50).

C) Set those to equal to solve for x:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

D) Solve:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

Distribute:

3x = 4x - 2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

-X = -2

Multiply both sides by -1:

X = 2

E) Since X is the amount Tonya paid per game, Tony paid X - 0.50, so Tony paid 2 - 0.50 = $1.50 per game.

Check:

Tonya:  3x = 3(2) = $6 total

Tony: 4(x-0.50) = 4(2.00 - 0.50) = 4(1.50) = $6 total
