When she got back to her office, Amanda decided to turn this into a math problem for me. She asked: how many of each kind did I buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Amanda buy first kind of pen = 3

Amanda buy second kind of pen = 2

Amanda buy third kind of pen = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Amanda went to the store to purchase ink pens. She found three    

            kinds of pens. The first cost $4 each; the price of the second kind

            was 4 for $1; and the cost for the third kind was 2 for $1. She bought

            20 pens and she bought at least one of each kind. (It is possible to

            buy only 1 of the pens that are "4 for $1" or "2 for $1".) The cost was

            $20.

To find - When she got back to her office, Amanda decided to turn this into

              a math problem for me. She asked: how many of each kind did I

              buy?

Proof -

Let Amanda buy first kind of pen = x

                      second kind of pen = y

                           third kind of pen = z

As given,

She bought total pen = 20

⇒x + y + z = 20          ...............(1)

Now,

As given,

cost for first kind pen = $4 for 1 pen

As she bought x pens of first kind , so

Cost of x pens of first kind = $4x

Now,

The price of the second kind was 4 for $1

⇒Cost of second kind = $[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] for 1 pen

As she bought y pens of send kind , so

Cost of y pens of second kind = $[tex]\frac{1}{4}y[/tex]

Now,

The price of the third kind was 2 for $1

⇒Cost of third kind = $[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] for 1 pen

As she bought z pens of send kind , so

Cost of z pens of third kind = $[tex]\frac{1}{2}z[/tex]

Now,

As given, The cost was $20

⇒4x + [tex]\frac{1}{4}y[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}z[/tex] = 20

⇒16x + y + 2z = 80             .....................(2)

∴ we get 2 equations

x + y + z = 20                   .....................(1)

16x + y + 2z = 80             .....................(2)

Now,

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) , we get

16x + y + 2z  - ( x+ y + z )= 80 - 20

⇒16x + y + 2z - x - y - z = 60

⇒15x + z = 60

⇒z = 60 - 15x

Now,

Put the value of z in equation (1) , we get

x + y + 60 - 15 x = 20

⇒ y - 14x = 20 - 60

⇒y - 14x = -40

⇒14x - y = 40

⇒y = 14x - 40

Now,

we get

z = 60 - 15x

y = 14x - 40

As given

she bought at least one of each kind

it means x > 1, y > 1, z > 1

Now,

If x = 1, then y = 14 - 40 = -26

Not possible

If x = 2 , then y = 14(2) - 40 = -12

Not possible

If x = 3, then y = 14(3) - 40 = 2 and z = 60 - 15(3) = 15

Possible.

If x = 4,  then y = 14(4) - 40 = 16 and z = 60 - 15(4) = 0

Not Possible.

If x = 5, then y = 14(5) - 40 = 30 and z = 60 - 15(5) = -15

Not Possible.

∴ we get

x = 3, y = 2, z = 15

Amanda buy first kind of pen = x = 3

Amanda buy second kind of pen = y = 2

Amanda buy third kind of pen = z = 15

You divide the number by the numerator, and then multiply that number by the denominator.

If you mean you want 3/4 of 24 then you divide 24 by 4, which equals 6. And then multiply 6 and 3, which equals 18

Part (a)

Answer:   x = -8

------------------

Work Shown:

2(x-1) = 3(x+2)

2x-2 = 3x+6 .... distribute

2x = 3x+6+2 .... adding 2 to both sides

2x = 3x+8

2x-3x = 8 .... subtracting 3x from both sides

-x = 8

x = -8 ..... multiply both sides by -1

===========================================================

Part (b)

Answer:  x = 5/11

------------------

Work Shown:

-4(2x-2) = 3(x+1)

-8x+8 = 3x+3 ..... distribute

-8x = 3x+3-8 .... subtract 8 from both sides

-8x = 3x-5

-8x-3x = -5 ... subtract 3x from both sides

-11x = -5

x = -5/(-11) .... divide both sides by -11

x = 5/11

In decimal form, this is approximately equal to 5/11 = 0.4545

The rate of change is constant in each table. Find the rate of change. Explain what the rate of change means for the situation.

Answers

Answer:

Rate of change = $25 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, rate of change of the data given in the table is constant graph will be a linear graph.

Rate of change of the line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given by,

Rate of change = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

From the table given,

Graph passes through two points (3, 75) and (4, 100)

Rate of change = [tex]\frac{100-75}{4-3}[/tex]

                          = 25

Here rate of change defines the change in cost per day.

The median number of part-time employees at fast-food restaurants in a particular city was known to be 18 last year. City officials think the use of part-time employees may be increasing. A sample of nine fast-food restaurants showed that seven restaurants were employing more than 18 part-time employees, one restaurant was employing exactly 18 part-time employees, and one restaurant was employing fewer than 18 part-time employees. Can it be concluded that the median number of part-time employees has increased

Answers

Answer:

It can be concluded that the median number of part-time employees has increased hence we will reject the null hypothesis ( H0 : p = 0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Test using  α = 0.5 to determine whether the median number of part-time employees has increased

number of restaurants with more than 18 part-time employees = 7  ( + sign )

number of restaurants with less than 18 part-time employees = 1 ( - sign )

number of restaurants with exactly 18 part-time employees = 1

first step : ( state the null and alternate hypothesis )

Null hypothesis : ( H0) : median ≤ 18

Alternate hypothesis : ( Ha ) : median ≥ 18

The size of the sample ( n ) can be considered to be 8 because

number of restaurants with more than 18 part-time employees = 7  ( + sign )

number of restaurants with less than 18 part-time employees = 1 ( - sign )

Hence the actual hypothesis that should be tested will be :

H0 : p = 0.5

Ha : p ≠ 0.5

Next apply the binomial distribution to determine the number of + signs

= nP = 8 ( 0.5 ) = 4 + signs ( right tailed test i.e. upper tail of the binomial distribution )

determine the P ( ≥ 7 ) + signs in order to obtain the p-value of this right tailed test ( using the binomial probability table )

P ( ≥ 7 )+ signs  = p(7) +signs  + p(8)+signs

                         = 0.0313 + 0.0039 = 0.0352

Hence the P-value = 0.0352  is < 0.05  hence we will reject the Null hypothesis ( H0 : p = 0.5 )

hence It can be concluded that the median number of part-time employees has increased

The true statement is that, the median number of part-time employees has increased

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = +7}[/tex] ---- restaurants with more than 18 part-time employees[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = -1}[/tex] ---- restaurants with less than 18 part-time employees [tex]\mathbf{n_3 = 1}[/tex] ---- restaurants with exactly 18 part-time employees

Using a 0.5 test of significance, the null and the alternate hypotheses are:

Null hypothesis : [tex]\mathbf{H_0 : p= 0.5}[/tex]Alternate hypothesis : [tex]\mathbf{H_a : p \ne 0.5}[/tex]

The sample size (n) is calculated using

[tex]\mathbf{n =n_1 -n_3}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{n =7 --1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n =8}[/tex]

The mean of the distribution is:

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x = np}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x = 8 \times 0.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x = 4}[/tex]

Using the right tailed test, we calculate the probability that a restaurant has more than 7 part-time employees.

This is calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{P(x \ge 7+) = P(x = 7+) + P(x = 8+)}[/tex]

Using the binomial probability table, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{P(x \ge 7+) = 0.0313 + 0.0039 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(x \ge 7+) = 0.0352}[/tex]

By comparison,

When the p-value is less than the level of significance, then we will reject the Null hypothesis

Hence, it can be concluded that the median number of part-time employees has increased

y = 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the slope

Using the coordnate (10, 15) and (20, 30)

m = 30-15/20-10

m = 15/10

m = 1.5

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 1.5 and (10, 15) into y = mx+c

15 = 1.5(10) + c

15 = 15+c

c = 0

Get the equation

y = mx+c

y = 1.5x+0

y = 1.5x

The graph of function gis the graph of function f (x) = 2x2 + 5 after a
vertical stretch by a factor of 3. What is the function rule for function g?

Answers

Answer: g(x) = 6*x^2 + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a function y = f(x)

A vertical stretch by a factor of K is written as:

g(x) = K*f(x).

In this case, we have f(x) = 2*x^2 + 5.

And we know that g(x) is a f(x) after a stretch by a factor of 3.

Then we get:

g(x) = 3*f(x) = 3*(2*x^2 + 5) =  3*2*x^2 + 3*5 = 6*x^2 + 15

g(x) = 6*x^2 + 15
