The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:

x: the total mass of the chemical in the container

y: a sample of a chemical from a container

We have the following equation:

y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Then, for y = 39.1 we have:

39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4

Clearing x:

(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4

(3/10) x = 44.85

x = (10/3) * (44.85)

x = 149.5 grams

Answer:

the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:

x = 149.5 grams.

inn [45]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 266 days

Standard deviation (s) = 16 days

A.) p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = - 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = - 31.36

x = - 31.36 + 266

x = 234.64

B.)

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = - 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = - 31.36

x = - 31.36 + 266

x = 234.64

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = 31.36

x = 31.36 + 266

x = 297.36

Hence,

234.64 < x <297.36

C.)

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = 31.36

x = 31.36 + 266

x = 297.36

An open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the
natka813 [3]

Please find the attachment.

Let x represent the side length of the squares.

We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be 8-x-x=8-2x and 10-x-x=10-2x.

The height of the box will be x.

The volume of box will be area of base times height.

\text{Volume of box}=(8-2x)(10-2x)\cdot x

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.

\text{Volume of box}=(80-16x-20x+4x^2)\cdot x

\text{Volume of box}=(80-36x+4x^2)\cdot x

Now we will distribute x.

\text{Volume of box}=80x-36x^2+4x^3

V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3

Therefore, the volume of the box would be V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3.

Put 4y= -3x - 8 into slope intercept form.​
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

y = -3/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

4y = -3x-8

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = -3x/4 -8/4

y = -3/4x -2

Can someone please answer this please!
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

T = ±22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0=−16t2+7744

Step 1: Add 16t^2 to both sides.

0+16t2=−16t2+7744+16t2

16t2=7744

Step 2: Divide both sides by 16.

16t2

16

=

7744

16

t2=484

Step 3: Take square root.

t=±√484

t=22 or t=−22
