Answer 1

say the numbers are "a" and "b", we know that they're in the ratio of 2:3, or namely that

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{in the ratio of 2 to 3}}{a~:~b\qquad \qquad 2:3}\qquad \qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{a}{b}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a}{2}=b \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{their sum is 55}}{a + b = 55}\implies a + \cfrac{3a}{2}=55\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( a + \cfrac{3a}{2} \right)=2(55)} \\\\\\ 2a+3a=110\implies 5a=110\implies a = \cfrac{110}{2}\implies \boxed{a = 22}[/tex]

How to write a linear equation?

A linear equation for the given case can be written by assuming any variable as the unknown quantity. Then, as per the given data the required operations are done and it is equated to some value.

(a) As per the question, the numbers can be considered as 2x and 3x respectively.

Then, the equation for their sum can be written as follows,

3x + 2x = 55

⇒ 5x = 55

⇒ x = 11

The numbers are obtained as 2 × 11 = 22 and 3 × 11 = 33.

(b) Similarly, the equation for the product of numbers can be written as,

3x × 2x = 384

⇒ 6x² = 384

⇒ x² = 64

⇒ x = 8

The numbers are obtained as 2× 8 = 16 and 3 × 8 = 24.

The required number for both the cases are 22,33 and 16,24 respectively.

Answers

Answer:

10 quarters, 9 dimes, and 20 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

q - 1 = d, 2q = n or q = 1/2n

.25q + .10(q - 1) + .05(2q) = 4.40

.25q + .10q - .10 + .10q = 4.40

.45q - .10 = 4.40

.45q = 4.50

4.5/.45 = 10

Factorization involves breaking down an expression.

The sum of cubes is given as:

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 -ab + b^2)[/tex]

(a) Verify the formula

Expand the expression on the right-hand side

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 -a^2b + ab^2 +a^2b - ab^2 + b^3[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 -a^2b +a^2b+ ab^2 - ab^2 + b^3[/tex]

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 + b^3[/tex]

The formula has been verified

(b) Factorized 8x^3+ 27

We have:

[tex]8x^3 + 27[/tex]

Express 27 as 3^3

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =8x^3 + 3^2[/tex]

Express 8 as 2^3

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =2^3x^3 + 3^3[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x)^3 + 3^3[/tex]

Given that:

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 -ab + b^2)[/tex]

The expression becomes

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x + 3)((2x)^2 - (2x)3 +3^2)[/tex]

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x + 3)(4x^2 -8x3 +9)[/tex]

(c)The other factor of 2^3 - b^3

By difference of cubes, we have:

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex]

So, the equation becomes

[tex]2^3 - b^3=(2-b)(2^2+2b+b^2)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]2^3 - b^3=(2-b)(4+2b+b^2)[/tex]

Hence, the other factor of [tex]2^3 - b^3[/tex] is [tex]4+2b+b^2[/tex]

(c) Factor x^3 - 1

We have:

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex]

Express 1 as 1^3 in x^3 - 1

[tex]x^3 - 1 =x^3 - 1^3[/tex]

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex] becomes

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators. A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

We have a middle school that took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a symphony at a theater that has 4500 seats. The students filled 2205 of the seats in the theater.

Assume that the theater filled up [x]% of seats at the theater. Then, we can write -

[x]% = (2205/4500) x 100

[x]% = 0.49 x 100

[x]% = 49%

Therefore, the theater filled up with 49% of seats with 6th grade students.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven the following inequality statement:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{7x\:+\:6\:\geq \:\frac{-x}{2}}[/tex]

Start by eliminating the fraction on the right-hand side.

Multiply both sides of the inequality statement by 2:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{2(7x\:+\:6)\:\geq \:\bigg[\frac{-x}{2}\bigg](2)}[/tex]

2(7x + 6) ≥ -x

Next, distribute 2 into the terms inside the parenthesis:

14x + 12 ≥ -x

Subtract 12 from both sides:

14x + 12 - 12 ≥ -x - 12

14x  ≥ -x - 12

Add x to both sides:

14x + x  ≥ -x + x - 12

15x ≥ - 12

Divide both sides by 15 to isolate x:

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{x\geq -\frac{4}{5}}[/tex] or  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{-\frac{4}{5}\:\leq\:x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two numbers whose sum 7500 and whose product is the maximum value.
(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Blank = 1
Blank = 2

Answers

The two numbers whose sum is 7500 and whose product  is a maximum value are 3750 and 3750.

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Since their sum equals 7500,

x + y = 7500  (1)

Their product f(x,y) = xy  (2)

We desire to maximize the product.

From (1), x = 7500 - y

Substituting x into (2), we have

f(x,y) = xy

f(x,y) = (7500 - y)y

f(y) = 7500y - y²

To maximize the product, we find the value of y that maximizes f(y), we differentiate f(y) and equate it to zero.

So, df(y)/dy = d(7500y - y²)/dy

f'(y)/dy = d(7500y)/dy - dy²/dy

f'(y)/dy = 7500 - 2y

Equating it to zero, we have

7500 - 2y = 0

7500 = 2y

y = 7500/2

y = 3750

To determine if this gives a maximum for f(y), we differentiate f'(y) with respect to y.

So, f"(y) = d(7500 - 2y)dy

f"(y) = 0 - 2

f"(y) = -2 < 0.

So, y = 3750 gives a maximum for f(y) = f(x, y)

Since x = 7500 - y

Substituing y = 3750 into the equation, we have

x = 7500 - 3750

x = 3750

So, the two numbers whose sum is 7500 and whose product is a maximum product are 3750 and 3750.

We can explicitly find the inverse. If [tex]f^{-1}(x)[/tex] is the inverse of [tex]f(x)[/tex], then

[tex]f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = \dfrac{f^{-1}(x)+2}{f^{-1}(x)+6} = x[/tex]

Solve for the inverse :

[tex]\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 2}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{f^{-1}(x) + 6 - 4}{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]

[tex]1 - \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6} = x[/tex]

[tex]1 - x = \dfrac4{f^{-1}(x) + 6}[/tex]

[tex]f^{-1}(x) + 6 = \dfrac4{1-x}[/tex]

[tex]\implies f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac4{1-x} - 6[/tex]

Then when x = -6, we have

[tex]f^{-1}(-6) = \dfrac4{1-(-6)} - 6 = \dfrac47-6 = \boxed{-\dfrac{38}7}[/tex]

Alternatively, we can first solve for x such that [tex]f(x) = -6[/tex]. Then taking the inverse of both sides, [tex]x = f^{-1}(-6)[/tex]. (The difference in this method is that we don't compute the inverse for all x.)

We have

[tex]\dfrac{x+2}{x+6} = -6[/tex]

[tex]x + 2 = -6 (x + 6)[/tex]

[tex]x + 2 = -6x - 36[/tex]

[tex]7x = -38[/tex]

The degree of a vertex is defined as the number of edges that touch the vertex. The (i, j)-th entry of the adjacency matrix tells you whether vertex i touches vertex j (1 if yes, 0 if no). Then the degree of vertex i is equal to the sum of the i-th row in the adjacency matrix.

• vertex 1 : degree = 0 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 2

• vertex 2 : degree = 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

• vertex 3 : degree = 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 2

• vertex 4 : degree = 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 3

• vertex 5 : degree = 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3

A passenger plane flew from Texas to Frankfurt and back. The round trip is 9900 km.
return trip took 4 hours less than the trip to Frankfurt because of the 50 km/hr wind over the ocean on the return trip. Assume there was no wind on the trip to Frankfurt. Let x km/hr represent the average speed of the plane in still air.

Answers

We want to find the average speed of the plane in still air, we will get that the average speed of the plane in still air is 355.3 km/hr

So we know that the total trip is 9900km, so from Texas to Frankfurt the distance is half of that:

9900km/2 = 4950km

Now, The speed of the plane in still air is x km/hr

The speed of the air is 50 km/hr, and it flows from Frankfurt to Texas.

So in the first part of the trip, the wind blows in opposite direction to the motion of the plane, thus the speed of the plane will be:

(x - 50) km/hr

While in the return trip the wind blows in favor of the plane, in this case, the speed is:

(x + 50)km/hr

Then if the first part of the trip lasts for T hours (the second for T - 4 hours) we can write the system of equations:

(x - 50)*T = 4950

(x + 50)*(T - 4) = 4950

Where I removed the units so it is easier to read.

If we isolate T in the first equation we get:

T = 4950/(x - 50)

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

(x + 50)*(4950/(x - 50)  - 4) = 4950

If we multiply both sides by (x - 50) we get:

(x + 50)*4950 - 4*(x + 50)*(x - 50) = 4950*(x - 50)

Now we can solve this for x:

(x + 50)*4950 - 4*(x^2 - 2500) - 4950*(x - 50) = 0

100*4950 - 4*(x^2 - 2500)  = 0

495000 - 4*x^2 + 10000 = 0

505000 = 4*x^2

√(505000/4) = x = 355.3

The average speed of the plane in still air is 355.3 km/hr
