A 33-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twiceas long as the first piece, and the third piece is one inch more than five times thelength of the first piece. What is the length of the first piece?

Answers

Answer 1

Let;

x = the length of the first piece

y=the length of the second piece

z=the length of the third piece

From the question;

"the second piece is twice as long as the first piece" can be written in equation as:

y = 2x

"the third piece is one inch more than five times the length of the first piece"

can be written as :

z= 5x+ 1

Total length of the 3 pieces = 33

This implies:

x + y + z =33

substitute y=2x and z=5x+1 into the above

x + 2x + 5x+1 = 33

8x + 1 = 33

subtract 1 from both-side of the equation

8x = 33 -1

8x = 32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x= 32/8

x= 4

The length of the first piece is 4-inches

Answers

The gross pay that the employee will get is $276.14.

How to calculate the amount?

The job regarding the question pays $14.50 and the person works 24 hours per week. The weekly pay will be:

= 24 × $14.50

= $348

Also, the employer withhold 10% of your gross pay for federal taxes, 7.65% for FICA taxes and 3% for state taxes. Therefore, the gross pay will be:

= Weekly pay - Federal tax - Fica tax - state tax

= $348 - (10% × $348) - (7.65% × $348) - (3% × $348)

= $348 - $34.80 - $26.62 - $10.44

= $276.14

The pay is $276.14.

Answers

Mean:all the number divided by the number of the value
Median:the number in the middle
80,000 98,000 108,000 114,000 140,000 142,000 150,000 166,000 185,000 250,000
They are 10 numbers so you’ll have 2 numbers left
140,000+142,000=282,000
Then 282,000 divided it by 2
Which gives you 141,000
So the median is:141,000

80,000+98,000+108,000+114,000 140,000+142,000+150,000+166,000+185,000+250,000=1,293,000
1,293,000 divided by 10 which equals 129,300
So the mean is=129,300

The mean is 143000 and Median is 141000 for data $140,000; $166,000; $80,000; $98,000; $185,000; $150,000; $108,000; $114,000; $142,000; and $250,000.

What is Statistics?

A branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data

The mean is give by sum of n numbers to the total number of observations

Mean=Sum of observations/ Number of observations

Given,

Sum of observations=$140,000+$166,000+$80,000+$98,000+ $185,000+$150,000+ $108,000+$114,000+$142,000+ $250,000=1433000

n=10

Mean=1433000/10=143000

So mean is 143000

Now let us find the median, Median is the middle most number.

First we have to arrange the observation in ascending order.

$80,000, $98,000, $108,000,  $114,000,  $140,000, $142,000, $150,000, $166,000, $185,000, $250,000

Now Median= ($140,000+$142,000)/2

With the base being [tex]a \in [1, 10)[/tex], meaning that it can assume values from 1 to 10, with an open interval at 10 meaning that for 10 the number is written as 10 = 1 x 10¹, meaning that the base is 1.

For item a, to add one to the exponent, making it zero, we need to divide the base by 10, hence the ordinary number is given as follows:

5.1 x 10^(-1) = 5.1/10 = 0.51.

For item b, to multiply two numbers, we multiply the bases and add the exponents, hence:

(1.7 x 10^4) x (8.5 x 10^-2) = 1.7 x 8.5 x 10^(4 - 2) = 14.45 x 10².

c. Find the first quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size.
d. For part b), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary? No Yes

Answers

Considering the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that:

a) The distribution is: x¯ ~ N(189, 1.91).

b) The probability that the average hand length is less than 191 is of 0.8531 = 85.31%.

c) The first quartile is of 187.7 mm.

d) The assumption is necessary, as the sample size is less than 30.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a variable that has mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure X is above or below the mean of the distribution, depending if the z-score is positive or negative.From the z-score table, the p-value associated with the z-score is found, and it represents the percentile of the measure X in the distribution.By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]. The mean is the same as the population mean.For sample size less than 30, such as in this problem, the assumption of normality is needed to apply the Central Limit Theorem.

The parameters in this problem are given as follows:

[tex]\mu = 189, \sigma = 7.4, n = 15, s = \frac{7.4}{\sqrt{15}} = 1.91[/tex]

Hence the sampling distribution of sample means is classified as follows:

x¯ ~ N(189, 1.91).

The probability that the average hand length is less than 191 is the p-value of Z when X = 191, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

Z = (191 - 189)/1.91

Z = 1.05

Z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531, which is the probability.

The first quartile of the distribution is X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

-0.675 = (X - 189)/1.91

X - 189 = -0.675 x 1.91

X = 187.7 mm.

Solve for x using the quadratic formula.3x^2 +10x+8=3

Answers

The quadartic equation is 3x^2+10x+8=3.

Simplify the quadratic equation to obtain the equation in standard form ax^2+bx+c=0.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x^2+10x+8=3 \\ 3x^2+10x+5=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The coefficent of x^2 is a=3, coefficient of x is b=10 and constant term is c=5.

The quadartic formula for the values of x is,

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the value of x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-10\pm\sqrt[]{(10)^2-4\cdot3\cdot5}}{2\cdot3} \\ =\frac{-10\pm\sqrt[]{100-60}}{6} \\ =\frac{-10\pm\sqrt[]{40}}{6} \\ =\frac{-10\pm2\sqrt[]{10}}{6} \\ =\frac{-5\pm\sqrt[]{10}}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The value of x is,

[tex]\frac{-5\pm\sqrt[]{10}}{3}[/tex]

From the diagram below, if side AB is 36 cm., side DE would be ______.

Answers

Given

AB = 36 cm

Find

Side DE

Explanation

here we use mid segment theorem ,

this theorem states that the mid segment connecting the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

so , DE = 1/2 AC

DE = 36/2 = 18 cm

final Answer

therefore , the correct option is c

The seventh term of a geometric sequence is 1/4 The common ratio 1/2 is What is the first term of the sequence?

Answers

Answer:

16

Explanation:

The equation for the term number n on a geometric sequence can be calculated as:

[tex]a_n=a_{}\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Where r is the common ratio and a is the first term of the sequence.

So, if the seventh term of the sequence is 1/4 we can replace n by 7, r by 1/2, and aₙ by 1/4 to get:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}=a\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^{7-1}[/tex]

Then, solving for a, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}=a(\frac{1}{2})^6 \\ \frac{1}{4}=a(\frac{1}{64}) \\ \frac{1}{4}\cdot64=a\cdot\frac{1}{64}\cdot64 \\ 16=a \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the first term of the sequence is 16.

What is the vertex of the parabola with thefunction rule f(x) = 5(x − 4)² + 9?

Answers

The equation f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k gives the vertex of the parabola--it is (h, k).

In this question, h = 4 and k = 9. So the vertex is at (4, 9).

Using the origin as the center of dilation and a scale factor of k=1/2 find the coordinates of the vertices of the image of the polygon below

What is the area of this rectangle?
3
7b ft
7
3
b+21 ft

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width.

in our case that is

(7/3 × b + 21) × (3/7 × b) =

= 7/3 × 3/7 × b × b + 21 × 3/7 × b =

= 1 × b² + 3×3 × b = b² + 9b = b(b + 9) ft²

so, the area is

b² + 9b = b(b + 9) ft²

remember, an area is always a square "something".

a volume a cubic "something".

so, when the lengths are given in feet, the areas are square feet or ft².

The ship leaves at 18 40 to sail to the next port.
It sails 270 km at an average speed of 32.4 km/h
Find the time when the ship arrives.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

t₁ = 18:40 or  18 h 40 min

S = 270 km

V = 32.4 km/h

____________

t₂ - ?

Ship movement time:

t = S / V = 270 / 32.4 ≈ 8.33 h = 8 h 20 min

t₂ = t₁ + t = 18 h 40 min + 8 h 20 min

40 min + 20 min = 60 min = 1 h

18 h +8 h = 26 h    =  24 h + 2 h

2 h + 1 h = 3 h

t₂ = 3:00

The ship will arrive at the destination port at 3:00 the next day.

Answer:

32.4 - 27.0 = 5.4

18.40 + 54 =

7hrs:34mins

The ship arrived at

7:34pm
