Answer:

8 Wallets cost 8 * 43 = 344 $

Step-by-step explanation:

The text provides us with the following system:

1. B = 2W + 58

2. 632 = 2B + 8W

Which can be re-evaluated to:

1. B - 2W = 58

2. 2B + 8W = 632

We multiply 1. with 2 and get:

1. 2B - 4W = 116

We then subtract 1. from 2. and get:

12W = 516 --(:12)--> W = 43

We then insert W = 43 into 1.:

B = 2*(43) + 58

--> B = 86 + 58 = 144

Let f(x)=x^2+2x+3 . What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 5?

miskamm [114]

To find the average rate of change of given function f(x) on a given interval (a,b):

Find f(b)-f(a), b-a, and then divide your result for f(b)-f(a) by your result for b-a:

f(b) - f(a)
------------
b-a

Here your function is f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3. Substituting b=5 and a=-2,
f(5) = 5^2 -2(5)+3 =? and f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 3 = ?

Calculate f(5) - [ f(-2) ]
------------------ using your results, above.
5 - [-2]

Your answer to this, if done correctly, is the "average rate of change of the function f(x) = x^2+2x+3 on the interval [-2,5]."

Sunhee had four plastic shapes a square, a circle, and a pentagon in how many ways can she line up the four shapes of the circle

julsineya [31]

Answer:

only three shapes are mentioned.

But anyhow, 4 shapes allow the following reasoning...

you can start lining up with any of the for shapes, so you have 4 possibilities, for the second position you have 3 possibilities, for the third 2 and for the last only 1.

so 4*3*2*1= 24 possible ways

but with the added rule to keep the circle and the square apart, we have to reduce the number.

by the same step-by-step reasoning we get

4 possibilities for the 1st item

only 2 possibilities for the 2nd item

(if 1st is square or circle, the other one's not an option, if it's not we have to choose one of them to not place them both at point 3 and 4)

only 1 choice for the 3rd item

(reasoning as above, if 2nd is square or circle, we have to the only other, if it isn't, we can put it here at 3rd position)

plus scenarios where either square or circle are on 1st point, the other's on 4th.

I guess that makes 14 possible arrangements

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi

ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles carry just one person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291$

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

$\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60$

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

$P(x \geq 47)$

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

$P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%$

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

Warren drives half the distance Kendall drives to work. Kendall drives 26 more miles to work than Joe. Warren drives 15 miles. W

dem82 [27]

Answer:

15 times 2 - 26 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Warren drives half the distance Kendall drives to work. Kendall drives 26 more miles to work than Joe. Warren drives 15 miles. Write an equation that models this situation. Use x to represent the number of miles Joe drives to work.

W X 1/2 = K

K - 26 = J

so 15 times 2 - 26 = x
