Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is equal to 10 times the quantity of
12 more than one-fourth of the number. If a is the number, what is the value of a?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the number is a

The expression for Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is given by

5a - 10

10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number.

a/4 is one-fourth  of number

12 more than one-fourth of the number

a/4 + 12

expression for  10 times the quantity of  12 more than one-fourth of the number. is given by

10(a/4 + 12) = 10a/4 + 12*10 = 2.5a + 120

Given that the above two expression are equal

equating them we have

5a - 10 = 2.5a + 120

adding 10 both sides

=>5a - 10+ 10  = 2.5a + 120 + 10

=> 5a = 2.5a + 130

subtracting 2.5a from both sides

=> 5a - 2.5a = 2.5a + 130 - 2.5a

=> 2.5a = 130

dividing both side by 2.5

=> a = 130/2.5 = 52

Thus, value of a is 52

The sum of 48 and itself, its half and half of the half is added to 18.​

Answers

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem which should be tackled accordingly.

The sum of 48 and itself

= 48+48

= 96

It's half and half of its half

= 48/2 and (48/2)/2

= 24+ 24/2

= 24+12

= 36

Is added to 18

= 96+36+18

= 150

From the description above the entire sum is 150.

Una partícula se mueve sobre el eje x de acuerdo con la ecuación del movimiento
s=f(t) donde s es la distancia dirigida al origen en pies a los t segundos.
a) La velocidad v(t) y la aceleración a(t) en el instante t.
b) El instante t en el que la velocidad es cero.
s= 6t-t²
s=t²-6t
s= t²-9t+24

Answers

Answer:

a)

s= 6t-t² -->  v = 6 -2t  --> a = -2

s=t²-6t  --> v = 2t-6       -->    a = 2

s= t²-9t+24  -->  v = 2t -9   -->  a = 2

b)

v = 6 -2t  = 0  --> t = 3

v = 2t-6  = 0   --> t = 3

v = 2t -9   = 0 --> t = 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

si s(t) es la distancia, la velocidad es la primera derivada v(t) = s'(t)

y la acceleracion es la segunda derivada : a(t)= v'(t) = s''(t)

s= 6t-t² -->  v = 6 -2t  --> a = -2

s=t²-6t  --> v = 2t-6       -->    a = 2

s= t²-9t+24  -->  v = 2t -9   -->  a = 2

X is equal to 5. Hope this helps and have a good day. Also, A Brainliest would be much appreciated

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Exterior Angle Theorem.

The E.A.T states that the measurement of an exterior angle is found by adding the two opposite and non-adjacent interior angles.

In this case, the Exterior Angle is 121. The sum can be found by combining 17x - 4 and 8x. Set the equation:

17x - 4 + 8x = 121

First, combine like terms:

17x + 8x - 4 = 121

(17x + 8x) - 4 = 121

(25x) - 4 = 121

Next, Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

25x - 4 (+4) = 121 (+4)

25x = 121 + 4

25x = 125

Next, divide 25 from both sides:

(25x)/25 = (125)/25

x = 125/25

x = 5

5 is your value for x.

For a certain type of sand, 1 cubic foot weighs 80 pounds. The sand goes in a container that weighs 40 pounds. Use the Ray tool to make a graph that shows the total weight of the container and sand, w, filled with n cubic feet of this sand. I need the coordinates for the graph please.

Answers

Answer:

First, let's write our equation in a general way.

We know that:

1 cubic foot weighs 80 pounds.

The container weighs 40 pounds.

Then, if i put n cubic feet of sand in the container, the total mass will be one time the mass of the container plus n times the mass of one cubic foot of sand.

We can write this as:

w(n) = 40lb + n*80lb

This is a linear equation, where the y-axis will represent the mass in pounds and the x-axis will be the number of cubic feet of sand in the container in units, a graph of this is shown below.

You can see that it is really steep, this is because for really small increments in n, the weight increases a lot.

The science teacher gives daily homework. For a random sample of days throughout the year, the median number of problems is 5 and the IQR is 2. The Spanish teacher also gives daily homework. For a random sample of days throughout the year, the median number of problems is 10 and the IQR is 1. If you estimate the median number of science homework problems to be 5 and the median number of Spanish problems to be 10, which is more likely to be accurate? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

SCIENCE SEEMS MORE ACCURATE

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range (IQR) = difference between the upper and lower quartile (Q3 - Q1)

The median can be estimated as :

(Q3 - IQR/2) or (Q1 + IQR/2).

FOR SCIENCE:

MEDIAN NUMBER = 5

IQR = 2

IQR = Q3 - Q1

Q3 = median + IQR/ 2 = 5 + 2/2 = 6

Q1 = median - IQR/2 = 5 - 2/2 = 4

FOR SPANISH:

MEDIAN = 10

IQR = 1

IQR = Q3 - Q1

Q3 = median + IQR/ 2 = 10 + 1/2 = 10.5

Q1 = median - IQR/2 = 10 - 1/2 = 9.5

Science has a lower median score and an interquartile range which is reasonable wider than Spanish with a larger median value (but a very narrow interquartile range).

The distribution of pH levels for all community swimming pools in a large county is approximately normal with mean 7.5 and standard deviation 0.2. According to swimming pool studies, the safest pH levels for water in swimming pools are between 7.2 and 7.8. (a) One community swimming pool in the county will be selected at random. What is the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe

Answers

Answer:

The  value is  [tex]P(A) =  0.133617[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  mean is  [tex]\mu =  7.5[/tex]

  The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma  =  0.2[/tex]

  The safest water level is  between  7.2 and  7.8

Generally the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(A) =  1 - P(7.2 \le X  \le 7.8 )[/tex]

Here  

      [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - \mu }{\sigma } <  \frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } <\frac{ 7.8 - \mu }{\sigma }   )[/tex]

Generally [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  X )[/tex]

So

 [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - 7.5 }{0.2 } < Z <\frac{ 7.8 - 7.5 }{0.2 }   )[/tex]    

 [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(-1.5 < Z <1.5)[/tex]  

=>  [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) = P(Z <  1.5) - P(  Z < - 1.5) [/tex]

From the z-table the probability of  (Z <  -1.5) and   (  Z <1.5)  are

    [tex]P(Z <  1.5) =  0.93319[/tex]

and  

    [tex]P(Z <  -1.5) =  0.066807[/tex]

So

      [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) =0.93319 - 0.066807 [/tex]

       [tex]P(7.2 < X  < 7.8 ) =0.0866383[/tex]

So

   [tex]P(A) =  1 - 0.0866383[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(A) =  0.133617[/tex]

The probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe pool is 0.1336

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{\mu = 7.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma = 0.2}[/tex]

Start by calculating the probability that a pool is safe.

This is represented as: P(7.2 < x < 7.8)

Calculate the z-scores for x =7.2 and 7.8 using:

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{7.2 - 7.5}{0.2} = -1.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{z = \frac{7.8 - 7.5}{0.2} = 1.5}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) = P(-1.5 < z < 1.5)}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) = P(z < 1.5) - P(z < -1.5)}[/tex]

Using z table of probabilities, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) =0.9332 - 0.0668}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(7.2 < x < 7.8) =0.8664}[/tex]

The probability that the pool is not safe is calculated using the following complement formula

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 1 - P(Safe)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 1 -0.8664}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(Not\ Safe) = 0.1336}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the pool is not safe is 0.1336

g If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 8 cm 2/min, find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The snowball is spherical in nature

The total surface area of the ball = 4πr²

Or 4π(d/2)²

S = 4πd²/4

S = πd²

d is the diameter of the ball

The rate at which the area is decreasing is expressed as;

dS/dt = dS/dd • dd/dt

dd/dt is the rate at which the diameter is decreasing

dS/dd = 2πd

dS/dt = 2πd • dd/dt

dS/dt = 2π(9) • dd/dt

8 = 18π•dd/dt

dd/dt = 8/18π

dd/dt = 4/9(3.14)

dd/dt = 4/28.26

dd/dt = 0.1415cm/min

Hence the diameter is decreasing at the rate of 0.1415cm/min
