Find two integers whose sum is -12 and product is 35

Mathematics

1 answer:

qwelly [4]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

-5;-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the product. 35 is either 35x1, 7x5, or the product of their opposites. 35 and 1 doesn't work for the sum, neither does 7 and 5. Let's go negative. -35 and -1 gives -36, so it has to be -7 and -5, which is indeed, correct.

Mike hiked to a lake in 4.5 hours at an average rate of 2

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Mike to hike a lake = 4.5 hours

Average rate of Mike while hiking the lake = $2\frac{1}{5}\ miles/hr$

Formula for distance can be seen as:

$Distance = Speed\times Time$

Distance traveled by Mike = $4.5 \times 2\frac{1}{5} = 4.5\times \frac{11}{5} = 9.9\ miles$

Rate of Pedro while hiking the same distance = $2\frac{3}{5}\ miles/hr = \frac{13}{5}\ miles/hr$

Given that, Pedro also travels the same distance.

And we have to find the Time.

$Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \dfrac{9.9}{\frac{13}{5}}\\\Rightarrow Time = \dfrac{9.9\times 5}{13} = \bold{3.81\ hours}$

It took Pedro <em>3.81 hours</em> to reach the lake.

A new American graduate is contemplating buying a Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he plans to b

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The best option is to buy Japanese Car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel usage per year is 150000/ 8 = 18750 miles per year

Fuel cost (year 1 -8) = $3.0, $3.06, $3.12, $3.18, $3.25, $3.312, $3.38, $3.5

Japanese Car:

Fuel usage 18750 / 23 = 815 * $3 = $2446

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2445, $2494, $2623, $2758. $2900, $3050, $3207, $3372

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $700, $721, $742, $764, $787, $811, $835, $860

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $700, $714, $728, $742, $757, $772, $788, $804

Present value of cost at 5% = 24674.07

Cost of car is $30,000

Total cost = $54674.07

Amercian Car:

Cost $35,000

Fuel usage 18750/20 = 937.5 * $3 per gallon = $2812.5.

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2812, $2913, $2986, $3011. $3098, $3124, $3176, $3208

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $800, $894, $921, $978, $1109, $1176, $1207, $1301

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $800, $827, $876, $898, $908, $932, $954, $934

Present value of cost at 5% = 25302.18

Cost of car is $35,000

Total cost = $60302.

German Car:

Cost = $45,000

Fuel usage 18750 / 21 = 892 * $3 = $2678

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2679, $2732, $2786, $2842. $2899, $2987, $3077, $3171

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $1000, $1040, $1081, $1124, $1169, $1216, $1265, $1316

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $850, $867, $884, $902, $920, $938, $957, $976

Present value of cost at 5% = 27105.73

Cost of car is $45,000

Total cost = $72105.

12% of children are nearsighted, but this condition often is not detected until they go to kindergarten. A school district tests

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

There is a 34.60% probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are nearsighted, or they are not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

12% of children are nearsighted. This means that $p = 0.12$ .

A school district tests all incoming kindergarteners' vision. In a class of 18 kindergarten students, what is the probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted?

There are 18 students, so $n = 18$

This probability is:

$P = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{18} = 0.1002$

$P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{17} = 0.2458$

$P = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1002 + 0.2458 = 0.3460$

There is a 34.60% probability that 0 or 1 of them is nearsighted.

it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision. how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, to determine how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job the following calculation must be performed:

36/32 = X

1.125 = X

1 = 24

0.125 = X

0.125 x 24 = X

3 = X

Therefore, the 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.
