Convert 8.132132132 ... to a rational expression in the form of a over b , where b ≠ 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number 8.132132....

we have to convert the above number to a rational expression.

 → (1)

Multiply by 1000 on both sides

   →  (2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get

Divide throughout by 999, we get

which is required rational form.

A distributor needs to blend a mix of Gualtemala Antigua coffee that normally sells for $8.50 per pound with a Rift Valley coffe
daser333 [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • x+y=70; 8.50x+12.50y=10.56(70)
  • 36 pounds Antigua
  • 34 pounds Rift

Step-by-step explanation:

At the insistence of the problem author, we will let x represent pounds of Antigua coffee and y represent pounds of Rift coffee. Then we have ...

  x + y = 70

  8.50x +12.50y = 10.56(70) . . . . . total cost of the mix

__

We like to use the variable to represent the high-cost contributor. Here, that is y, so we'll substitute for x:

  x = 70-y

  8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70)

__

  595 +4y = 739.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  4y = 144.2 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 595

  y = 36.05 . . . . . . . divide by 4

  x = 70 -36.05 = 33.95

About 36 pounds of Rift Valley coffee and 34 pounds of Gualtemala Antigua coffee must be mixed.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

By letting the variable in our equation 8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70) represent the high-cost coffee, we ensure that the simplified equation will have a positive coefficient for the variable. This means we don't have to mess with negative numbers, so eliminating a common source of math errors.

The problem requirement that we use x for the low-cost contributor meant we introduced an extra equation that would not have been needed.

Data are drawn from a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4. There are 1,000 observations in
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a. 97.72% of the observations are less than 33

b. Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 4.

This means that \mu = 25, \sigma = 4

a. Approximately what percentage of the observations are less than 33?

The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 33. So

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

Z = \frac{33 - 25}{4}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772

0.9772*100% = 97.72%

97.72% of the observations are less than 33.

b. Approximately how many observations are less than 33?

Out of 1000:

0.9772*1000 = 977.2

Approximately 977 observations are less than 33.

Which table represents a linear function?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The table in the bottom left corner

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table in the bottom left corner you see a continued pattern of everytime the x axis goes up by 1 the y axis drops by two (1,-2) and when you look at the rest of the charts there is no pattern meaning the rest of the tables are non linear
