Harry sold 8 smalls cars out of 11 cars.
At the end of the sale He sold 33 cars.
In order to determine how many small cars did Harry sell in the week, you take into account that the proportion of small cars for each sale is 8/11.
To find the total small cars sold in the week you multiply the proportion of small cars by the total cars sold in the week, just as follow:
(8/11)33 = 8(33/11) = 8(3) = 24
Hence, the small cars sold during the week were 24.

Write √32 in simplest radical form4√22√42√168√2
Answer:
4√2
Explanation:
To write √32 in its simplest radical form:
Express it as a product of two factors where one is a perfect square.
[tex]\sqrt[]{32}=\sqrt[]{16\times2}[/tex]Next, we can separate the product of radicals as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{2} \\ =4\times\sqrt[]{2} \\ =4\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The simplest radical form is 4√2.
find the value of n so that the expression is a perfect square trinomial and then factor the trinomial. x^2+10x+n
From the problem, we have :
[tex]x^2+10x+n[/tex]To make it a perfect square trinomial, we will use the formula :
[tex]n=(\frac{b}{2a})^2[/tex]and we can factor the trinomial as :
[tex](x+\frac{b}{2a})^2^{}[/tex]a = 1 and b = 10
so n will be :
[tex](\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{10}{2\times1})^2=5^2=25[/tex]The value of n is n = 25
and the factor of the trinomial will be (x + 5)^2
Answer: the answer is (x + 5)^2

Given the data set:
[tex]\lbrace57,53,53,71,73,57,61,58,78,64,54,69,56,58,49,56,53,52,82,62,61,60,71,75,60\rbrace[/tex]• You can find the Mean by adding all the values and dividing the sum by the number of values in the data set:
[tex]Mean=\frac{57+53+53+71+73+57+61+58+78+64+54+69+56+58+49+56+53+52+82+62+61+60+71+75+60}{25}[/tex][tex]Mean\approx61.72[/tex]• By definition the term for the third quartile can be found with this formula:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}(n+1)[/tex]Where "n" is the number of observations.
In this case:
[tex]n=25[/tex]Then:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}(25+1)\approx19.5[/tex]Since it is an integer, you get that the position of the terms is:
[tex]Q_3=\frac{69+71}{2}=70[/tex]Because, when you order the data set, 69 is the 19th value and 71 is the 20th value. Then, the third quartile is the average between them:
[tex]\lbrace49,52,53,53,53,54,56,56,57,57,58,58,60,60,61,61,62,64,69,71,71,73,75,78,82\rbrace[/tex]• By definition:
[tex]IQR=Q_3-Q_1[/tex]And the term position of the first quartile is found with:
[tex]\frac{n+1}{4}[/tex]You get:
[tex]\frac{25+1}{4}=6.5[/tex]Therefore, you can determine that:
[tex]Q_1=\frac{54+56}{2}=55[/tex]Then:
[tex]IQR=70-55=15[/tex]• By definition, the Five-Number Summary is:
- The minimum value:

Determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the system.
y = 6
2x - 5y = 24
Is (2,-4) a solution of the system?
Answer:
[tex](2, -4)[/tex] is not a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ordered pair [tex](2, -4)[/tex] cannot be a solution of the system since, given the first equation of [tex]y=6[/tex], the only possible value for [tex]y[/tex] is 6. In other words, the only possible value that makes [tex]y=6[/tex] true is 6.
Therefore, to figure [tex]x[/tex], we substitute 6 for [tex]y[/tex] in the second equation and solve:
[tex]2x-5y=24[/tex]
[tex]2x-5(6)=24[/tex]
[tex]2x-30=24[/tex]
[tex]2x=54[/tex]
[tex]x=27[/tex]
The ordered pair, then, that solves the system is [tex](27,6)[/tex].

We are given the following function:
[tex]y=\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5}[/tex]We are asked to differentiate with respect to "x". To do that we need to have into account that the function is rational and therefore, we need to use the quotient rule for derivatives, which is the following:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)})=\frac{f^{\prime}(x)g(x)-f(x)g^{\prime}(x)}{g^2(x)}[/tex]Therefore, we need to determine the derivatives of f(x) and g(x). In this case, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=1-10x \\ g(x)=(2x-1)^5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative of f(x):
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(1-10x)[/tex]First, we distribute the derivative:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(1)-\frac{d}{dx}(10x)[/tex]The first, derivative is the derivative of a constant and therefore is zero:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=-\frac{d}{dx}(10x)[/tex]For the second derivative we use the following rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(ax)=a[/tex]Applying the rule we get:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=-10[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]f^{\prime}(x)=-10[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative of g(x):
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(2x-1)^5[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative using the following rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))^n=n(g(x))^{n-1}(g^{\prime}(x))[/tex]Applying the rule we get:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=5(2x-1)^4(2)[/tex]Simplifying:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=10(2x-1)^4[/tex]Therefore, we have:
[tex]g^{\prime}(x)=10(2x-1)^4[/tex]Now, we substitute the function in the quotient rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(-10)(2x-1)^5-(1-10x)(10)(2x-1)^4}{((2x-1)^5)^2}[/tex]Now we simplify the denominator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(-10)(2x-1)^5-(1-10x)(10)(2x-1)^4}{(2x-1)^{10}}[/tex]Now, we take (2x - 1)^4 as a common factor on the numerator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(2x-1)^4((-10)(2x-1)^{}-(1-10x)(10))}{(2x-1)^{10}}[/tex]Now, we simplify the function:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{((-10)(2x-1)^{}-(1-10x)(10))}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Now, we apply the distributive property on the numerator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{-20x+10^{}-10+100x}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Now, we cancel out the 10 and add like terms:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{80x}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.

1)
Working with inequalities, when you draw them in a number line or a coordinate system. The Open circle, or "blank dot" indicates that the number itself is not included in the definition, while the closed circle or "blak dot" indicates the value is included.
For example:
The inequality marked in the number line can be expressed symbolically as:
[tex]x<2[/tex]So the first statement is True.
2)
When an inequality includes a variable (letter) this one can be writen in terms of said variable following almost the same rules as when you calculate the value of a variable in an equation.
The greatest exception is that when you divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes.
So for the given inequality:
[tex]-10w>100[/tex]To determine one possible value of w you have to divide both sides of the expression by "-10" and when you do so, the direction of the inequality gets inverted from > to <
[tex]\begin{gathered} -10w>100 \\ w<\frac{100}{-10} \\ w<-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]So this statement is False.
3)
This statement is True, when the variable is "alone" the coefficient is 1. Since multiplying a number by one results in said number it is redundant to write it, but altough "invisible" one is the coefficient of any variable that is "alone" in any given expression.
4)
"At most" indicates that it is the maximum value possible for the determined inequality. So the inequality can be equal or less than the determined value.
For example, "The cell phone repair will cost at most $100" → You know that you will pay no more than $100 dollars for the repair, it can be less but not more.
Let "x" symbolize the repair cost, you can express this as:
[tex]x\leq100[/tex]So this statement is True
5)
"Minimum" indicates that is the lowest value of the inequality, it is the startpoint, from the determined value onwards.

[tex]m\angle ABD+m\angle DBC=m\angle ABC[/tex]Substituting the values we get:
[tex]6x+5+36=10x+7[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]6x+41=10x+7[/tex]Now we solve for "x", first by subtracting 10x on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x-10x+41=10x-10x+7 \\ -4x+41=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we subtract 41 on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4x+41-41=7-41 \\ -4x=-34 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we divide both sides by -4
[tex]x=-\frac{34}{-4}=\frac{17}{2}[/tex]Now we replace the value of "x" in the expression for angle ABD:
[tex]\angle ABD=6x+5[/tex]Replacing the value of "x":
[tex]\angle ABD=6(\frac{17}{2})+5[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]\angle ABD=3(17)+5=56[/tex]Therefore angle ABD is 56 degrees.
You are interested in purchasing a $144,000 home. You plan to make a 25% downpayment and obtain an 8% mortgage for 20 years for the remaining amountthrough City Savings and Loan. Complete the form below to determine the totalclosing cost.
Cost of the house = $144,000
25% down payment = 25 / 100 * $144,000 = $36,000
Amount of mortgage = $144,000 - $36,000 = $108,000.
The closing costs are detailed in the form, and two rows need to be filled in and get the total closing costs row.
The first missing row is the Loan origination fee that corresponds to 2% of the mortgage:
2% of $108,000 = 2 / 100 * $108,000 = $2,160
The last row corresponds to 3/16 of the total interest on the mortgage.
Calculate the final value of the mortgage:
[tex]\begin{gathered} FV=\$108,000\cdot(1+0.08)^{20} \\ FV=\$503,383.37 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total interest is:
I = $503,383.37 - $108,000
I = $395,383.37

To calculate the Simple Interest on this investment, the formula given is;
[tex]I=PRT[/tex]Where the variables are;
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=15000 \\ R=3.15\% \\ T=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]We now have;
[tex]I=15000\times0.0315\times13[/tex][tex]I=6142.5[/tex]The value at the end of the investment period is now derived as;
[tex]A=P+I[/tex][tex]A=15000+6142.5[/tex][tex]A=21,142.5[/tex]To calculate value of this investment using the compound interest formula, we shall apply the formula which is;
[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]Given the same variables as earlier, we simply substitute and solve as shown below;
[tex]A=15000(1+0.0315)^{13}[/tex][tex]A=15000(1.0315)^{13}[/tex][tex]A=15000(1.49658028574)[/tex][tex]A=22448.7042861[/tex]We can round this to 2 decimal places and we'll have;
[tex]A=22,448.70[/tex]ANSWER:
Amount of the investment after 13 years will be $22,448.70
8. Mel's mean on 10 tests for the semester was 89. She complained to the teacher that she should be given an A because she missed the cutoff of 90 by only a single point. Explain whether it is clear that she really missed an A by only a single point if each test was based on 100 points. Explain how many points she actually missed.

Explanation
The mean of a group of numbers is the average of these numbers.
Mathematically, the mean is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables.
Mean = (Σx)/N
x = each variable
Σx = Sum of the variables
N = number of variables
So, when Mel's mean is 89 for 10 tests, this means
Mean = 89
N = Number of variables = 10
So, we can calculate the sum of all of Mel's scores
Mean = (Σx)/N
Cross multiply,
Σx = N [Mean]
Σx = 10 (89) = 890
For Mel to have an average score of 90 from 10 tests,
Mean = 90
N = Number of variables = 10
So, we can calculate the sum of all of Mel's scores
Mean = (Σx)/N
Cross multiply,
Σx = N [Mean]
Σx = 10 (90) = 900
So, we can see that Mel does not actually need 1 point to score an A (90), Mel needs 10 extra points gathered from the 10 tests, to get the extra average 1 point.
Hope this Helps!!!
