(Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]-0.14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in [tex]y[/tex] divided by the change in [tex]x[/tex].

The change in [tex]y[/tex] is a decrease of 3,300 feet.

The change in [tex]x[/tex] is an increase of 4.5 miles. Converting to feet so that both measurements are in identical units:

[tex]\frac{4.5\text{ mi}}{1}\times\frac{5280\text{ ft}}{1\text{ mi}}=23760\text{ ft}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope is:

[tex]\frac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\frac{-3300}{23760}=-\frac{5}{36}[/tex]

As a decimal rounded to two places:

[tex]-\frac{5}{36}\approx{-0.14}[/tex]

Notice that it is a linear equation and its graph is as follows:

which corresponds to option A.

The estimated cost of driving 20 miles in one day is:

If C=$25, solving the first equation on the board for m we get:

Answers

we have the inequality

5y – 2x ≤ 9

Remember that

If an ordered pair is a solution to the inequality, then the ordered pair must satisfy the inequality

so

Verify each ordered pair

1) (–3, 1/5)

substitute in the given inequality

5(1/5) – 2(-3)x ≤ 9

1+6 ≤ 9

7 ≤ 9 -----> is true

that means ----> the ordered pair is a solution

2) (5, –17.6)

5(-17.6) – 2(5) ≤ 9

-88-10 ≤ 9 ------> is true

that means ----> the ordered pair is a solution

3) (0, 2)

5(2) – 2(0) ≤ 9

10 ≤ 9 -----> is not true

The ordered pair is not a solution

therefore

The answer is

A. both (–3, 1/5), and (5, –17.6)

Find the missing digit and check calculations.went to the store and bought 18 two-litter bottles of off-brand soda for his Super Bowl party last weekend. His receipt is smuggled, But he can see that the cost of these bottles before tax was 15.#4. how much did each bottle cost?

Answers

We have a smuggled total that is 15.#4 after buying 18 bottles.

We can estimate the cost of each bottle as:

[tex]p=\frac{15+0.1\cdot x+0.04}{18}[/tex]

where x is the tenths of a dollar, and it will have an integer value between 0 and 9.

If we try the different possible values for x, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=0\Rightarrow15.04/18=0.835555555555555 \\ x=1\Rightarrow15.14/18=0.841111111111111 \\ x=2\Rightarrow15.24/18=0.846666666666667 \\ x=3\Rightarrow15.34/18=0.852222222222222 \\ x=4\Rightarrow15.44/18=0.857777777777778 \\ x=5\Rightarrow15.54/18=0.863333333333333 \\ x=6\Rightarrow15.64/18=0.868888888888889 \\ x=7\Rightarrow15.74/18=0.874444444444444 \\ x=8\Rightarrow15.84/18=0.88 \\ x=9\Rightarrow15.94/18=0.885555555555556 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can see that the only value that give a unit price in cents is for x = 8, which corresponds to a total price of $15.84 and a unit price of $0.88.

Answer: we can estimate that the unit price is $0.88.

Answers

• What are you being asked to find? define your variables

We are being asked to find the number of goats and ducks that there might be in the farmhouse.

• What are you given?

,

From the information given by the question, we know that there are as many as 12 animals and that they have as many as 34 legs.

• Create & solve a system

from the given information we can write two expressions, one for the total number of animals, which equals 12, and another for the number of legs, let's call x to the number of goats and y to the number of ducks.

We know that there are a total of 12 animals, this is the number of goats plus the number of ducks, then we can write the expression:

goats + ducks = 12

x + y = 12

0.

And we know that there are 34 legs since a duck has 2 legs and a goat has 4, the number of legs of all the ducks would be the number of ducks times 2 and the number of legs of all the goats is 4 times the number of goats, then we can express the equation:

goat's legs + duck's legs = 34

4x + 2y = 34

Then, the system of equations that we have to solve is:

1. x + y = 12

2. 4x + 2y = 34

Now let's solve the system of equations, by following these steps:

Solve for y from the first equation:

x+y=12

x-x+y=12-x

y=12-x

Replace the expression y=12-x into the second equation and find the value of x.

4x + 2y = 34

4x+2(12-x)=34

4x+2*12-2x=34

4x+24-2x=34

2x+24=34

2x+24-24=34-24

2x=10

2x/2=10/2

x=5

Now that we know that x equals 5, let's replace it into the expression y=12-x, to find the value of y:

y=12-x

y=12-5=7

Then, x equals 5 and y equals 7

• Explain your solution

In the farmhouse could there be a total of 5 ducks and 7 goats

Evaluate the expression without using a calculator.35!———33! - 2

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The given expression is:

[tex]\frac{35!}{33!\cdot2!}[/tex]

First, we can rewrite 35! , so the expression is equal to:

[tex]\frac{35\cdot34\cdot33!}{33!\cdot2!}[/tex]

Finally, we can simplify to get:

[tex]\frac{35\cdot34}{2!}=\frac{35\cdot34}{2\cdot1}=\frac{1190}{2}=595[/tex]

Therefore, the expression is equal to 595

Find the geographic mean between each pair of numbers. A. 28 and 14. B. 7 and 36

Answers

In order to find the geographic mean between each of this pair of numbers, first we would have to define what is the geographic mean.

The geographic mean is the average of a set of numbers.

Therefore, the geographic mean for A. 28 and 14 would be:

Geographic mean (28,14)= (28*14)^0.5

=(392)^0.5=19.798990

The geographic mean for B. 7 and 36 would be:

Geographic mean (7,36)=(7*36)^0.5

=(252)^0.5=15.874508

So, Geographic mean for (28,14) would be 19.798990 and for (7,36) would be 15.874508

what are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (2,-1) to (9,6) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 5 to 2

Answers

Ok, so:

Let x and y be coordinate of the point C that partitions the segment.

And Let A = ( 2, -1 ) and B = ( 9 , 6 ).

So, given that C partitions the segment into a ratio of 5 to 2, we have:

Total parts of the segment: 5+2 = 7.

So, the point C is 5/7 of way from A to B.

Let me draw the situation:

Now, we know that the right distance is 7 and the upper distance is 7.

Now we multiply 5/7 per both distances.

5/7 * 7 = 5

5/7 * 7= 5

Now, we take the initial point A ( 2, -1 ), and sum 5 to each coordinate.

Then, the point C = ( 7 , 4 )

1. If a line AB is translated in a plane to form A'B', what is true?AB = BBAA = BBA'A' = B'BAA' = BB'

Answers

ANSWER

[tex]AA\text{'}=BB\text{'}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

We have that line AB is translated in a plane to form line A'B'.

When a line/figure is translated, its shape and size do not change, which means that the distance between corresponding points on the pre-image and image must remain the same.

In other words, the distance between A and A' must be equal to the distance between B and B'.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

26 gallons

1) We can write this information setting up a proportion

miles gallons

312 x

2) Assuming the pace hasn't changed, then we can consider that as proportional:

120x= 3120

x = 3120/120

x =26

3) So 26 gallons are going to be needed for those 312 miles.

Answers

You need to add 10 ounces of 20% alcohol solution.

x = ounces of 20% alcohol solution to add to the 15 oz of 25% solution

15 oz of a 25% solution = 3.75 oz of pure alcohol

The total amount can be described 15+x ounces.

We solve the problem in terms of the amount of pure alcohol

2x + 3.75 = .23(15+x)

2x + 3.75 = 3.45 + .23x

Subtracting .2x from both sides

3.75 = .03x + 3.45

Subtracting 3.45 from both sides

3 = .03x

Multiply by 100

30 = 3x

Divide by 3

10 = x

x = 10

So, you have to add 10 oz of 20% alcohol solution to 15 oz of 25% alcohol.

At the end we would have 25 oz that we believe would be 23% alcohol. If that is true, then we would have:

23 * 25 = 5.75 oz of pure alcohol in the solution.

We have shown (above) that we have 3.75 oz of pure alcohol in the 15 oz of 25% solution.

How many oz of pure alcohol is there in 10 oz of 20% alcohol?

2*10 = 2 oz

3.75 + 2 = 5.75 oz, which is exactly what we needed

You need to add 10 ounces of 20% alcohol solution.

Use the distributive property to expand the parenthesis in the left hand side of the equation:

[tex]4b-4=-4+4b[/tex]

Use the commutative property to rewrite the right hand side of the equation, swapping the terms:
