Jordan wrote the expression 850p to represent the following scenario.

The cost of renting a bowling alley for a party is $850. The price per person depends on how many people attend the party. Write an expression for the price per person if p people attend.

Explain why Jordan's expression is incorrect. Provide the correct expression that represents the scenario.

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, the expression for the price per person is:

[tex]P = \frac{850}{p}[/tex]

Jordan's expression is wrong because the price per person is inverse proportional to the number of people in the party, not direct proportional.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The cost of renting a bowling alley for a party is $850, hence the cost per person is given by:

[tex]P = \frac{850}{p}[/tex]

Jordan's expression is wrong because the price per person is inverse proportional(that is, the amount is divided by p) to the number of people in the party, not direct proportional.

Between every pair of distinct points, there is a positive unique number called the ??? , which can be determined as the ??? of the corresponding real numbers of the two points.

Answers

The positive number between every pair of distinct points is known as the distance and it can be found as the absolute value of the difference  between the corresponding real numbers.

How is the distance found?

The distance represents the space between a pair of distinct points. This is called the distance postulate.

In order to find the distance, you would need to solve for the absolute value of the difference between the real numbers that are at the two points.

find an equation equivalent to (x-2)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 8 in polar coordinates

Answers

The circle equation in polar coordinates is:

   [tex]r - 4*cos(\theta) + 4*sin(\theta) = 0[/tex]

How to change the coordinates of the circle equation?

Here we have the circle equation:

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

First, we expand it to:

[tex]x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 + 4y + 4 = 8[/tex]

Now we can rewrite it as:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 -4x + 4y + 4 + 4 = 8\\\\x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 4y = 0[/tex]

Remember that:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = r^2\\\\x = r*cos(\theta)\\y = r*sin(\theta)[/tex]

Replacing that, we get:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 4y = 0\\\\r^2 - 4r*cos(\theta) + 4r*sin(\theta) = 0[/tex]

That is the equation in polar form.

Now, because we can discard the solution r = 0, we can divide both sides by r to get:

[tex]r - 4*cos(\theta) + 4*sin(\theta) = 0[/tex]

To simplify it.

rooms per gallon.

Answers

Answer:

Using the ratio and proportion method, we find that on an average 1.875 rooms can be painted per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: Use the method of ratio and proportion.

In this method, if a relationship is given between two values, then using that relationship we can find another relationship with respect to another variable.

Given that for 2/5 gallons of paint, we can paint 3/4 of rooms. So, for one gallon of paint, divide 2/5 by 3/4.

2/5 gallons of paint = 3/4 rooms

1 gallon of paint = [tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{2}{5} } = \frac{15}{8} =1.875[/tex] rooms

So, on an average they can paint 1.875 rooms per gallon.

A company is considering producing some new Gameboy electronic games. Based on past records, management believes that there is a 70 percent chance that each of these will be successful and a 30 percent chance of failure. Market research may be used to revise these probabilities. In the past, the successful products were predicted to be successful based on market research 90 percent of the time. However, for products that failed, the market research predicted these would be successes 20 percent of the time. If market research is performed for a new product, what is the probability that the results indicate a successful market for the product and the product is actually not successful?

Answers

The probability that the results indicate a successful market for the product and the product is actually not successful is P=0.77.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

Events are given:

S: success

F: failure

MS: market research forecast a success

MF: market research forecast a failure

we have given:

P(S)=0.70

P(F)=0.30

P(S | MS)=0.90

P(F | MS)=0.20

we can derive that P(F | MF)=0.80.

We also can conclude that P(S | MF)=0.10.

We can calculate the probability of having a forecast of a failure,

[tex]P(MF | F) =\dfrac{ P(F | MF)P(F)}{ P(F | MF)P(F) + P(S | MS)P(S) }[/tex]

P (MF | F) = 0.24 / 0.31

P (MF | F) = 0.77

The probability that the results indicate a successful market for the product and the product is actually not successful is P=0.77.

Answers

Answer:

Speed of light 186000 miles/second.

it takes 500 seconds (approx 8 minutes) for light from the sun to reach Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth travels around the sun in a slightly oval-shaped orbit, known as an ellipse. Therefore, the planet's distance from the sun changes throughout the year.

However, the average distance from Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometres). Scientists also call this distance one astronomical unit (AU).

A universe is a big place, and sometimes researchers use astronomical units to communicate how far celestial objects are separated from one another. For example, Jupiter orbits about 5 AU from the sun.

The distance between the earth and the sun d= velocity of light × time taken to reach light from the sun to earth

Distance from Earth to Sun=93000000 miles.

Speed of light = 186000 miles/second.

=>  [tex]\frac{93000,000}{186000}[/tex]

Answers

The values of f(3.52)=26.61 and f(-8.77)=257.05

An assignment of an element from set Y to each element of set X constitutes a function from set X to set Y. The sets X and Y are collectively referred to as the function's domain and codomain, respectively.

The notation f: X→Y denotes a function, its domain, and its codomain. The value of a function at an element x of X, denoted by the symbol f(x), is referred to as the image of x under f or the value of f applied to the argument x.

The given function is f(x) = 3x²-3x =3x(x-1)

f(3.52)=3*(3.52)(3.52-1)

f(-8.77)=3*(-8.77)(-8.77-1)

The transformation of a function may involve any change in the initial function. The correct option is C.

The complete question is:

Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of y = log2x.

Which statement correctly describes the graph of y = log2(x + 3) - 9?

It is the graph of y = log2x translated 3 units down and 9 units to the left.It is the graph of y = log2x translated 9 units down and 3 units to the right.It is the graph of y = log2x translated 9 units down and 3 units to the left.It is the graph of y = log2x translated 3 units up and 9 units to the left.

How does the transformation of a function happen?

The transformation of a function may involve any change.

Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs), etc.

If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:

Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):

Left shift by c units, y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)Right shift by c units, y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)

Vertical shift

Up by d units: y = f(x) + dDown by d units: y = f(x) - d

Stretching:

Vertical stretch by a factor k: [tex]y = k \times f(x)[/tex]Horizontal stretch by a factor k: [tex]y = f(\dfrac{x}{k})[/tex]

Given the initial function y = log2x, now if the function is needed to be transformed to y = log2(x + 3) - 9, then the function is needed to be shifted left by 3 units and down by 9 units.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answers

Answer:

The given tessellated plane has translational and rotational symmetry. From the given options, we find that option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: The symmetry has to be decided in such a way that when it applies to a figure, we get exactly the next figure. In the given figure, we have translational and rotational symmetries. We can translate the triangles to the next position and get the same triangle. Or we can rotate the triangle about the point of contact and get the same triangle.

For example, take the top left triangle. If it is translated towards approximately 30° direction, then we will get the triangle present at the top.

Or when we turn that triangle about the point of contact of that and the topmost triangle, then we can get the topmost triangle.

But there is no reflectional symmetry due to the absence of symmetry line.
