Answer:

pair of pants = $53

Step-by-step explanation:

s = shirts

p = pair of pants

eq = equation

eq 1:          7s + 5p = 517

eq 2:           s + p = 89

multiply the equation 2 by 7

eq 3:        7s + 7p = 623

negate equation 1 and add it to the eq 3

      7s + 7p = 623

+    -7s - 5p = -517

             2p = 106

               p = 53

The volume of Pyramid A is 704 cm3 and the volume of Pyramid B is 297 cm3. If the pyramids are similar and the surface area of P
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

272 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We have to find the scale factor

When given the volume of two solids, the formula for the scale factor is

V1/V2 = (Scale factor)³

The volume of Pyramid A is 704 cm³ and the volume of Pyramid B is 297 cm³

V1 = Pyramid A

V2 = Pyramid B

704/297 = (scale factor)³

We simplify the left hand side to simplest fraction

The greatest common factor of 704 and 297 = 11

704÷11/297÷11 = (scale factor)³

64/27 = (scale factor)³

We cube root both sides

cube root(scale factor)³ = cube root (64/27)

scale factor = (4/3)

Step 2

(Scale factor)² = S1/S2

S1 = Surface area of Pyramid A =?

S2 = Surface area of Pyramid B = 153 cm²

Hence,

(4/3)² = S1/153

16/9 = S1/153

Cross Multiply

S1 × 9 = 16 × 153

S1 = 16 × 153/9

S1 = 272 cm²

Therefore, the Surface Area of Pyramid A = 272 cm²

Danielle’s chemistry professor has a complicated grading system. Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the e
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

Lab Scores are 84, 81, and 93

Test Scores are 89 and 94

Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the end of the semester there is a final lab that counts as three regular labs.

Total Number of Labs= (3X1)+(2X2)+(1X3) =3+4+3 =10

To recieve an A(90), the average of her scores must be 90.

Let her final lab score =b

Refer to the attached diagram

Total Score=624+3b

For her average =90

\frac{624+3b}{10}=90

Cross multiplying

624+3b =90 X 10

624+3b =900

3b =900-624

3b =276

Dividing both sides by 3

b= 92

She must score 92 in her final lab to receive an A.

The athlete’s salary, in thousands, for the first two years is $400 and $400(1.05). Explain how to find her salary for each of t
enyata [817]
To find the salary for the next three years, we are going to use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence: a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}
where
a_{n} is the nth term of the sequence 
a_{1} is the first term in the sequence 
r is the common ratio 
n is the position of the term in the sequence 

To check if the values $400 and 400(1.05) for a geometric sequence, we are going to find their common ratio. To find the common ratio, we are going to use the formula r= \frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1}}
where 
a_{n} is the current term in the sequence 
a_{n-1} is the previous term in the sequence

We can infer from our values, that the current term of the sequence is 400(1.5), so a_{n-1}=400(1.5). That leaves 400 as the previous term, so a_{n-1}=400. Lets replace those values in our formula to find r:
r= \frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1}}
r= \frac{400(1.05)}{400}
r=1.05

Now that we have our common ratio, we can replace it in our formula for the nth term to find the athlete's salary for each of the next three years. Notice that the first term of our sequence is $400, so a_{1}=400
a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}
a_{n}=400(1.05)^{n-1}
a_{3}=400(1.05)^{3-1}
a_{3}=400(1.05)^{2}
a_{3}=441

a_{4}=400(1.05)^{4-1}
a_{4}=400(1.05)^{3}
a_{4}=463.05

a_{5}=400(1.05)^{5-4}
a_{5}=400(1.05)^4
a_{5}=486.2025

We can conclude that the athlete's salary for each of the next three years is: $441,$463.05,486.2025 respectively. Also, those vales for a geometric sequence because they share a common ratio, (1.05).

the phrase “is a function of” gets used in non-mathematical speech as well as mathematical mathematical speech in sentences like
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very interesting question. I'm going to answer no, but don't take that to mean that the question is not worthwhile. It is.

In math, function has the meaning of considering ordered pairs. Here are 4 such ordered pairs.

(1,2)

(2,4)

(1,-3)

(5,9)

They are really not related to one another except all are ordered pairs.

Here's the math definition. If one of the x values (1,2,1,5) has more than 1 y value, you do not have a function.

1 has 2 y values,  2 and -3. Therefore the 4 points do not form a function

if you change the first (1,__) to 0 and your ordered pair becomes (0,2), all is well and you do have a function.

Whether you understand this or not, you have to see that a math function and a biology function are very different. The math function has numbers and those numbers have to obey a rule.

The biology function seems to be saying that how your mom and dad brought you up will determine what foods you like.

Those two uses are very different. How your mom brought you up is related to food. It could be anything else like "Being a knife carrying gang member is a function of where you live."
