1. Captain Salamander has 3 pet frogs called Dorris, Borris and Morris. He weighs them to check they are the right weight. Howev

er, the frogs will only be weighed two at a time! Dorris and Borris weigh 12lbs altogether. Borris and Morris weigh 16lbs altogether. Dorris and Morris weigh 14lbs altogether. How much does each frog weigh?

Answer:

Their weights are:

Dorris = 5 lbs

Borris = 7 lbs

Morris = 9 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weights of the frogs be:

Dorris = d

Borris = b

Morris = m

given:

d + b = 12 - - - (1)

b + m = 16 - - - (2)

d + m = 14 - - - (3)

from (3)

d + m = 14

m = 14 - d - - - (4)

putting the value of m into equation 2:

b + m = 16

b + (14 - d) = 16

b - d + 14 = 16

b - d = 16 - 14

b - d = 2

b = 2 + d - - - - (5)

putting the value of 'b' in equation 5 into equation (1)

d + b = 12 - - - (1)

where: b = 2 + d - - -  (5)

∴ d + (2 + d ) = 12

d + d + 2 = 12

2d = 12 - 2

2d = 10

∴ d = 10 ÷ 2 = 5

d = 5

putting the value of 'd' into eqn (5)

b = 2 + d - - - - (5)

where d = 5

b = 2 + 5 = 7

b = 7 lbs

to find 'm', let us use eqn (3)

d + m = 14 - - - (3)

where d = 5

∴ 5 + m = 14

m = 14 - 5 = 9

m = 9 lbs

Therefore their weights are:

Dorris = 5 lbs

Borris = 7 lbs

Morris = 9 lbs

If a 2-kg block compresses a spring 800mm from its relaxed state, how much potential energy does the block have due to the sprin
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

8 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of block = 2 kg

Displacement = x = 800 mm = 0.8 m

Spring constant = k = 25 N/m

Potential Energy of a spring

Work done = Difference in Potential Energy

Work Done = Δ P.E.

\Rightarrow \Delta\ P.E.=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

⇒P.E. = 0.5×25×0.8²

⇒P.E. = 8 Nm = 8 Joule

Here already the spring constant and displacement is given so the mass will not be used while calculating the potential energy.

Which of the following of x and y would make up the following expression represent a real number? (4+5i)(x+yi)
salantis [7]

Answer:

x = 4 and y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

note that the product of a complex number and it's conjugate is real

That is

(a + bi)(a - bi) where a, b are real

= a² - abi + abi - b²i²

= a² + b² ← a real number

For (4 + 5i)(x + yi) to be real

we require (x + yi) to be the conjugate of 4 + 5i , that is 4 - 5i

(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i) ⇒ x = 4 and y = - 5

Please help me with 12 and the question below it, plz thank youuu!!!
borishaifa [10]
  13 units from 20 could either be 33 or 7; 15 units from -8 could either be 7 or 23.Since 7 satisfy both of the above requirements, Sarah's favorite number is 7. (You could show your work using a number line)
 
  The two possibilities of Neil's favorite number are 26 and -12.

Which box plot correctly displays the data set with a maximum of 48, a minimum of 27, a median of 36, an upper quartile of 45, a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Image 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know how to use a box plot.

I've attached an image that demonstrates this well and can teach you what each part of the box plot means.

Specifically, the 2 farthest dots at the end are the minimum and maximum. The two sides where the box starts are the lower and upper quartiles. Finally, the line in the middle of the box is the median.

With this, we can analyze each box plot and determine which one is correct.

<em><u>Box Plot 1: </u></em><em>Everything is plotted correctly- Maximum and minimum plotted correctly, median plotted correctly, upper and lower quartile plotted correctly.</em>

<u>Box Plot 2:</u> Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT maximum of 48 is represented at 46.

<u>Box Plot 3:</u> Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT the upper quartile of 45 is at 39.

<u>Box Plot 4:</u> Upper quartile represented at 39 and maximum represented at 46 are both incorrect.
