what value of x makes the equation true ? 9.68x + 21.6 -6.23x = 2.3x + 17​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-4 please brainliest me

Step-by-step explanation:

9.68x+21.6-6.23x=2.3x+17

lets move it to the left

9.68x+21.6-6.23x-(2.3x+17)=0

Then, We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3.45x-(2.3x+17)+21.6=0

We get rid of parentheses

3.45x-2.3x-17+21.6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

1.15x+4.6=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

1.15x=-4.6

x=-4.6/1.15

x=-4

Answer 2

x= -8 makes the equation true.

What is Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given:

9.68x + 21.6 -6.23x = 2.3x + 17​

Now, solving for x

9.68 x - 6.23x - 2.3x = 17 - 21.6

1.15x= -4.6

x= -4.6 / 1.15

x= -8

Hence, x= -8 makes the equation true.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question; we are given the following inclusive frequency distribution information

Class                Frequency f

1.1-1.5                           18

1.6-2.0                         27

2.1-2.5                         31

2.6-3.0                        40

3.1-3.5                         56

3.6-4.0                        55

4.1-4.5                          23

Convert the above inclusive frequency distribution to exclusive frequency distribution with respect of the upper and lower class limit ; we have:

Class                             Frequency f

1.05 - 1.55                             18

1.55 - 2.05                           27

2.05 - 2.55                          31

2.55 - 3.05                          40

3.05 - 3.55                          56

3.55 - 4.05                          55

4.05 - 4.55                          23

Class                             Frequency f                     cf

1.05 - 1.55                             18                              18            

1.55 - 2.05                           27                               45

2.05 - 2.55                          31                               76

2.55 - 3.05                          40                               116

3.05 - 3.55                          56                               172

3.55 - 4.05                          55                               227

4.05 - 4.55                          23                               250

                                       n = 250

To determine the daily sales; we can derive that from estimated Mode by using the relation :

Estimated Mode = L + fm − fm-1(fm − fm-1) + (fm − fm+1) × w

here:

L  = the lower class boundary of the modal group

fm-1 =  the frequency of the group before the modal group

fm = the frequency of the modal group

fm+1 = the frequency of the group after the modal group

w  = the group width

However;

It is easier now to determine  the modal group (i.e the group with the highest frequency), which is 3.05 -3.55

L = 3.05

fm-1 =40

fm =56

fm+1 = 55

w = 0.5

∴[tex]mode = 3.05 + \dfrac{56 - 40 }{(56 - 40) + (56 -55)} * 0.5 \\ \\ mode = 3.05 + 0.4705 \\ \\ mode = 3.5205[/tex]

To find Median Class ; we use the formula;

Median Class = value of (n / 2)th observation

Median Class  = value of (250 / 2)th observation  

Median Class = value of 125th observation

From the column of cumulative frequency cf,

we will see that the 125th observation lies in the class 3.05-3.55.

∴ The median class is 3.05-3.55.

Thus;,  

L=lower boundary point of median class =3.05

n=Total frequency =250

cf=Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class =116

f=Frequency of the median class =56

c=class length of median class =0.5

[tex]Median M=L+n2-cff- c \\ \\ =3.05+125-11656⋅0.5 \\ \\=3.05+0.08036 \\ \\ =3.13036[/tex]

hence median sales = $3130.36

Pls help me with this trigonometric equations

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

f(x) = 2cos(3x)

Multiply f * x

fx = 2cos(3x)

Remove parenthesis around (3x)

fx = 2cos * 3x

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

fx = 2 * 3cos * x

Multiply 2 * 3

fx = 6cos * x

Multiply cos * x

fx = 6cosx

Solving

fx = 6cosx

Solving for variable 'f'.

Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by 'x'.

f = 6cos

Simplifying

f = 6cos

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the function f(x,y)=2x2−4x+y2−4y+1 on the closed triangular plate bounded by the lines x=0,y=2,y=2xin the first quadrant.

Answers

First check for the critical points of f by checking where the first-order derivatives vanish.

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=4x-4=0\implies x=1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2y-4=0\implies y=2[/tex]

Notice how the point (1, 2) lies on the line y = 2x ; at this point, we get a value of f(1, 2) = -5 (MIN).

Next, check the points where the boundary lines intersect, which occurs at the points (0, 0), (0, 2), and (1, 2). We already checked the last one. We find f(0, 0) = 1 (MAX) and f(0, 2) = -3.

Now check on the boundary lines themselves. If x = 0, then

[tex]f(0,y)=y^2-4y+1=(y-2)^2-3[/tex]

which has a maximum value of -3 when y = 2 (so we get the same critical point as before).

If y = 2, then

[tex]f(x, 2)=2x^2-4x-3=2(x-1)^2-5[/tex]

with a maximum of -5 when x = 1.

If y = 2x, then

[tex]f(x,2x)=6x^2-12x+1=6(x-1)^2-5[/tex]

with the same maximum of -5 when x = 1.

This question is based on the absolute maximum and absolute minimum.

We get this by differentiating the terms.

Given:

f(x,y) =   [tex]2x^{2} - 4x + y^2 - 4y +1[/tex], bounded by the lines x=0,y=2,y=2x in the first quadrant,bounded by the lines x=0,y=2,y=2x in the first quadrant.

We need to determined the absolute maximum and absolute minimum of the function.

Now, partial differentiating wrt x and y.

[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{ \partial x} = 4x -4 = 0 \Rightarrow x= 1 \\\dfrac{\partial f}{ \partial y} = 2y - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow y = 2[/tex]

Now, point (1, 2) lies on the line y = 2x ; at this point, we get a value of

f(1, 2) = -5 (MIN).

Next, check the points where the boundary lines intersect, which occurs at the points (0, 0), (0, 2), and (1, 2).

Now, find f(0, 0) = 1 (MAX) and f(0, 2) = -3.

Now check on the boundary lines themselves.

If x = 0, then we get,

[tex]f(0,y) = y^2 - 4y +1 = ( y-2)^2 -3\\[/tex]

which has a maximum value of -3 when y = 2 (so we get the same critical point as before).

If y = 2, then we get,

f(x,2) = [tex]2x^2-4x -3 = 2(x-1)^2 -5[/tex] with a maximum of -5 when x = 1.

If y = 2x, then we get,

f(x,2x) = [tex]6x^2 -12x +1 = 6(x-1)^2 -5[/tex] with the same maximum of -5 when     x = 1.

We are planning on introducing a new internet device that should drastically reduce the amount of viruses on personal computers. We think the price should be $39.99, but are not sure on the percentage of people that would buy it. We do some research and find the following information; Studies from the 1930’s indicate that percentage should be between 30% and 40% Similar products were launched recently at a price of $4,000 and nobody bought it. A nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%. We are going to conduct an additional focus group before we launch the product. What should the sample size be if we want a 95% CI to be within 5% of the actual value?

Answers

Answer:

The sample size required is 289.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be population proportion of people that would buy the product.

It is provided that the nationwide poll on this type of product and price was run earlier this year, with percentages running from 75% to 80%.

Assume that the sample proportion of people that would buy the product is, [tex]\hat p=0.75[/tex].

A 95% Confidence Interval is to be constructed with a margin of error of 5%.

We need to determine the sample size required for the 95% Confidence Interval to be within 5% of the actual value.

The formula to compute the margin of error for a (1 - α)% confidence interval of population proportion is:

[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The critical value of z for 95% confidence interval is,

z = 1.96.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

[tex]MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

      [tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)} }{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

         [tex]=[\frac{1.96\cdot \sqrt{0.75(1-0.75)} }{0.05}]^{2}\\\\=(16.9741)^{2}\\\\=288.12007081\\\\\approx 289[/tex]

Thus, the sample size required is 289.

A Biology test contains 10 multiple choice questions each with 5 choices and one correct answer.

Assume that all questions are answered independently. (a) What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

Answers

Answer:

0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the student guesses the correct answer, or he does not. All questions are answered independently. This means that we use the binomial distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]n = 10, p = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.000004[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0 [/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000004 + 0 = 0.000004[/tex]

0.0004% probability that the student answers at least 9 questions correctly

Could someone please help me with the steps for this problem? Factor by grouping: w²+3w+w+3

Answers

Answer:

Please see steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to factor by grouping, we divide the four terms given into two groups, and extract on each group any common factor  we can.

In our example, we can select the terms: [tex]w^2[/tex]  and [tex]w[/tex] as one of our groups, and [tex]3w[/tex] and 3 in the other group. Then we re-organize the expression as:

[tex](w^2+w)+(3x+3)[/tex]

Now we extract from the first binomial group, the factor [tex]w[/tex] as a common factor of both terms, and from the second group we extract the factor "3" as common factor of those two terms:

[tex](w^2+w)+(3x+3)\\w(w+1)+3(w+1)[/tex]

We notice now that after the extraction, we are left with two exactly equal binomial factors [tex](w+1)[/tex] that appeared in the first group and in the second group. We proceed then to extract it as common factor for the two groups:

[tex]w(w+1)+3(w+1)\\(w+1)(w+3)[/tex]

this last product of two binomials ([tex](w+1)\,(w+3)[/tex] is the result of factoring the original expression.

A mail carrier can deliver mail to 36 houses in 30 minutes. Mark wants to determine how many houses the carrier can deliver mail to in 7.5 minutes at this rate. He thinks that to find the answer, he should do the following.
1. First divide 36 houses by 30 minutes to find a unit rate of 1.2 houses per minute.
2. Then multiply 1.2 houses per minute by 7.5 minutes to get 9 houses.
Which statement is correct?
-Mark’s method is wrong, because it is impossible to deliver mail to 1.2 houses in a minute. The carrier can only deliver to a whole number of houses.
-Mark’s method is wrong, because it is impossible to deliver mail for 7.5 minutes. The carrier can only deliver mail for a whole number of minutes.
-Mark’s method is correct, because even though it is impossible to deliver mail to 1.2 houses in a minute, 1.2 represents the unit rate of houses per minute.
-Mark’s method is correct, because it is possible to deliver mail for 7.5 minutes; 7.5 represents the unit rate of 7.5 minutes per house.

Answers

The correct answer is C. Mark’s method is correct because even though it is impossible to deliver mail to 1.2 houses in a minute, 1.2 represents the unit rate of houses per minute.

Explanation:

To begin Mark should determine the rate of delivery (number of houses the carrier can deliver in 1 minute). This can be found by dividing the houses by the minutes (36 / 30 = 1.2 houses per minute). This means the 1.2 rate found by Mark is correct; also, in this case, it is important to clarify, the carrier will not deliver to 1.2 houses at the same time, but this is the delivery rate or number used to understand the relationship between the number of houses, and the time.

Moreover, you can use this rate, and multiply it by 7.5 and this will show you how many houses the carrier can deliver in this time (7.5 (minutes) x 1.2 (delivery rate) = 9 houses). Thus, the method is correct, and in it, 1.2 represents the unit rate, this is why even when it is not possible to deliver to 1.2 houses all the process is correct.

Tiffany is 140 miles away from Maggie. They are traveling towards each other. If Maggie travels 5 mph faster than Tiffany and they meet after 4 hours how fast was each traveling

Answers

Answer: Tiffany 15mph, Maggie 20mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation 4((x+5) + x) = 140. x+5 represents how many miles Maggie covered in one hour. x represents how much Tiffany traveled in one hour. 140 is the number of miles in total. 4 is the number of hours in total.

Simplify the equation.

(x+5) + x = 35    Divide both sides by 4

2x+5 = 35         Combine like terms

2x = 30              Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 15                 Divide both sides by 2

Tiffany traveled 15mph, while Maggie traveled 15+5=20mph.

(a) the volume of plastic that remains in the cylinder after it has been hollowed out to the nearest cubic centimeter.
(b) what has a greater total weight, the plastic that makes up the cone or the plastic that makes up the cylinder after it has been hollowed out?

Answers

Answer:

226 cm^3

The mass of plastic used to make cylinder is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The density of cone material, ρc = 1.4 g / cm^3

- The density of cylinder material, ρl = 0.8 g / cm^3

Solution:-

- To determine the volume of plastic that remains in the cylinder after gouging out a hemispherical amount of material.

- We will first consider a solid cylinder with length ( L = 10 cm ) and diameter ( d = 6 cm ). The volume of a cylinder is expressed as follows:

                                  [tex]V_L =\pi \frac{d^2}{4} * L[/tex]

- Determine the volume of complete cylindrical body as follows:

   

                                 [tex]V_L = \pi \frac{(6)^2}{4} * 10\\\\V_L = 90\pi cm^3\\[/tex]

- Where the volume of hemisphere with diameter ( d = 6 cm ) is given by:

                                 [tex]V_h = \frac{\pi }{12}*d^3[/tex]

- Determine the volume of hemisphere gouged out as follows:

                                 [tex]V_h = \frac{\pi }{12}*6^3\\\\V_h = 18\pi cm^3[/tex]

- Apply the principle of super-position and subtract the volume of hemisphere from the cylinder as follows to the nearest ( cm^3 ):

                               [tex]V = V_L - V_h\\\\V = 90\pi - 18\pi \\\\V = 226 cm^3[/tex]

Answer: The amount of volume that remains in the cylinder is 226 cm^3

- The volume of cone with base diameter ( d = 6 cm ) and height ( h = 5 cm ) is expressed as follows:

   

                               [tex]V_c = \frac{\pi }{12} *d^2 * h[/tex]

- Determine the volume of cone:

                              [tex]V_c = \frac{\pi }{12} *6^2 * 5\\\\V_c = 15\pi cm^3[/tex]

- The mass of plastic for the cylinder and the cone can be evaluated using their respective densities and volumes as follows:

                             [tex]m_i = p_i * V_i[/tex]

- The mass of plastic used to make the cylinder ( after removing hemispherical amount ) is:

                           [tex]m_L = p_L * V\\\\m_L = 0.8 * 226\\\\m_L = 180.8 g[/tex]

- Similarly the mass of plastic used to make the cone would be:

                           [tex]m_c = p_c * V_c\\\\m_c = 1.4 * 15\pi \\\\m_c = 65.973 g[/tex]

Answer: The total weight of the cylinder ( m_l = 180.8 g ) is greater than the total weight of the cone ( m_c = 66 g ).

                             

The volume of the remaining plastic in the cylinder is large, which

makes the weight much larger than the weight of the cone.

Responses:

(a) Volume of the remaining plastic in the cylinder is 226 cm³(b) The weight of the cylinder is greater than the weight of the cone.

How can the weight and volume be evaluated?

Density of the plastic for the cone = 1.4 g/cm³

Density of the plastic used for the cylinder = 0.8 g/cm³

From a similar question, we have;

Height of the cylinder = 10 cm

Diameter of the cylinder = 6 cm

Height of the cone = 5 cm

(a) Radius of the cylinder, r = 6 cm ÷ 2 = 3 cm

Volume of a cylinder = π·r²·h

Volume of a hemisphere = [tex]\mathbf{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex] × π×  r³

Volume of the cylinder after it has been hollowed out, V, is therefore;

[tex]V = \mathbf{\pi \times r^2 \times h - \frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]V = \pi \times 3^2 \times 10 - \frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times 3^3 \approx \mathbf{ 226}[/tex]

Volume of the cylinder after it has been hollowed out, V ≈ 226 cm³

(b) Volume of the cone = [tex]\mathbf{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex] × π × 3² × 5 47.1

Mass of the cone = 47.1 cm³ × 1.4 g/cm³ ≈ 66 g

Mass of the hollowed cylinder ≈ 226 cm³ × 0.8 g/cm³ = 180.8 g

The mass and therefore, the weight of the plastic that makes up the hollowed cylinder is greater than the weight of the plastic that makes up the cone.

Length of a rod: Engineers on the Bay Bridge are measuring tower rods to find out if any rods have been corroded from salt water. There are rods on the east and west sides of the bridge span. One engineer plans to measure the length of an eastern rod 25 times and then calculate the average of the 25 measurements to estimate the true length of the eastern rod. A different engineer plans to measure the length of a western rod 20 times and then calculate the average of the 20 measurements to estimate the true length of the western rod.

Hello!

Length of a rod: Engineers on the Bay Bridge are measuring tower rods to find out if any rods have been corroded from salt water. There are rods on the east and west sides of the bridge span. One engineer plans to measure the length of an eastern rod 25 times and then calculate the average of the 25 measurements to estimate the true length of the eastern rod. A different engineer plans to measure the length of a western rod 20 times and then calculate the average of the 20 measurements to estimate the true length of the western rod.

Suppose the engineers construct a 90% confidence interval for the true length of their rods. Whose interval do you expect to be more precise (narrower)?

a. Both confidence intervals would be equally precise.

b. The engineer who weighed the rod 25 times.

c. The engineer who weighed the rod 20 times.

X₁: Length of an eastern rod of the Bay Bridge

n₁= 25

X₂: Length of a western rod of the Bay Bridge

n₂= 20

Both Engineers will use their samples to estimate the population average length of the rods using a 90% CI.

Assuming the standard normal distribution, the confidence interval will be centered in the estimated mean.

X[bar] ± [tex]Z_{1-\alpha /2}[/tex]*(σ/√n)

And the width is determined by the semi amplitude:

↓d= [tex]Z_{1-\alpha /2}[/tex]*(σ/√↑n)

As you can see the sample size has an indirect relationship with the semi amplitude of the interval. This means, when the sample size increases, the semi amplitude decreases, and if the sample size decreases, the semi amplitude increases. Naturally this is leaving all other elements of the equation constant, this means, using the same confidence level and the same population standard deviation.

Since the first engineer took the larger sample, he's confidence interval will be narrower and more accurate.

Answer:

[tex]\fbox{\begin{minipage}{8em}Not a solution\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Consider the assumption:

Generally, [tex](6, 7)[/tex]) is supposed to be the pair of 2 components, in which, the first component is x-component (domain), the second component is y-component (range).

Hence, [tex]x = 6, y = 7[/tex]

Step 2: Substitute [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] into the inequality

       [tex]y > 2x - 5[/tex]

<=>  [tex]7 > 2*6 - 5[/tex]

Step 3: Simplify

<=>  [tex]7 > 7[/tex]

Step 4: Evaluate

Invalid

Reason: [tex]7 = 7[/tex]

Step 5: Conclude

[tex](6, 7)[/tex] is not a solution to the inequality [tex]y > 2x - 5[/tex]

Triangle ABC was rotated 180° about the origin, then a by a scale factor of 1/3 was done to form triangle A'B'C'.

What is mean by Transformation?

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, translation, reflection and dilation.

Given that;

Triangle ABC is similar to A"B"C".

Now, If a point A(x, y) is rotated clockwise by 180 degrees, the new point is at A'(y, -x)

Hence, Triangle ABC was rotated 180° about the origin, then a by a scale factor of 1/3 was done to form triangle A'B'C'.

The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 24 square millimeters. The volume of the prism is 144 cubic millimeters. The shape is a cube. What is the height of the prism?

Answers

Answer:

height = 6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism is a rectangular prism. The base area of the prism is 24 mm². The volume of the prism is given as 144 mm³.

The height of the prism can be solved as follows.

Volume of the rectangular prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height

Volume = 144 mm³

B = 24 mm²

volume = Bh

144 = 24 × h

144 = 24h

divide both sides by 24

h = 144/24

h = 6 mm
