How do I solve this problem? 1 - 9/5x = 8/6

Answers

Answer 1

The given equation is

[tex]1-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{8}{6}[/tex]

Adding -1 on both sides, we get

[tex]1-\frac{9}{5x}-1=\frac{8}{6}-1[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{8}{6}-1[/tex][tex]\text{Use 1=}\frac{6}{6}\text{ as follows.}[/tex][tex]-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{8}{6}-\frac{6}{6}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{8-6}{6}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{9}{5x}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Using the cross-product method, we get

[tex]-9\times3=5x[/tex]

[tex]-27=5x[/tex]

Dividing by 5 into both sides, we get

[tex]-\frac{27}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}[/tex][tex]x=-\frac{27}{5}=-5.4[/tex]

Hence the required answer is x=-5.4.

Recipe A calls for 2 cups of sugar and makes 48 cookles. Recipe B calls for 3 cups of sugar and makes 54 of the same sized cookies. Determine which recipe contains more sugar in each cookle. Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

Answers

we are given two recipes for cookies and we are asked which of the two contains more sugar. To do that we need to find the amount of sugar per cookie for each recipe.

For recipe A we have:

[tex]2cups\rightarrow48cookies[/tex]

This means:

[tex]\frac{2cups}{48cookies}=\frac{1}{24}\frac{cups}{cookies}[/tex]

For recipe B we have:

[tex]3cups\rightarrow54\text{cookies}[/tex]

This means:

[tex]\frac{3\text{cups}}{54\text{cookies}}=\frac{1}{18}(\frac{cups}{cookies})[/tex]

Since 1/18 is greater than 1/24, this means that there is more sugar per cookie in recipe B than in recipe A.

A major record label has seen its annual profit decrease in recent years. In 2011, the label's profit was $128 million. By 2015, the label's profit had decreased by 30%.What was the record label company's profit in 2015? million dollars   Suppose the record label wants to increase its profit to $128 million by 2017. By what percent must the label's profit increase from its 2015 value to reach $128 million within the next two years? %

Answers

the company's profit in 2015 was $89,600,000 (89.6 million dollars)

43%

Explanation:

Profit in 2011 = $128 million

Profit in 2015 decreased by 30%

% decrease = (old price - new price)/old price

old price = Profit in 2011 , new price = Profit in 2015

30% = (128,000,000 - new price)/128000000

[tex]\begin{gathered} 30percent=\text{ }\frac{128,000,000 -newprice}{128000000} \\ 0.30\text{ = }\frac{128,000,000-newprice}{128000000} \\ \text{cross multiply:} \\ 0.3(128,000,000)\text{ = }128,000,000-newprice \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 38400000\text{ = }128,000,000-newprice \\ \text{subtract }38400000\text{ from both sides:} \\ 38400000-\text{ }38400000\text{ = }128,000,000-38400000-newprice \\ \text{0 = 89600000 }-newprice \\ newprice\text{ = 89600000 } \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the company's profit in 2015 was $89,600,000 (89.6 million dollars)

Percentage increase = (new price - old price)/old price

new price = 128million dollars , old price = 89.6 million dollars

% increase = [(128 - 89.6)in millions/(89.6) in millions] × 100

% increase = 38.4/89.6 × 100

% increase = 0.43 × 100

% increase = 43%

Hence, the label's profit must increase by 43% from its 2015 value to reach $128 million within the next two years

Every parallel line would have the same slope because the slope formula is Δy/Δx and the difference would be the same, so the slope for the line with the given points would be -1/6, or roughly 0.167.

What is parallel lines?

Parallel lines in geometry are coplanar, straight lines that don't cross at any point. In the same three-dimensional space, parallel planes are any planes that never cross. Curves with a fixed minimum distance between them and no contact or intersection are said to be parallel.

What is slope?

A line's steepness can be determined by looking at its slope. In mathematics, slope is determined by dividing the change in y by the change in x. Determine the coordinates of two points along the line that you choose. Find the difference between these two points' y-coordinates (rise). Find the difference between these two points' x-coordinates (run). Divide the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope) by the difference in y-coordinates.

Here the coordinates are (-6,0) and (0,-1)

ΔX = 0 – -6 = 6

ΔY = -1 – 0 = -1

Slope (m) =ΔY/ΔX

=-1/6

= -0.16666666666667

≈-0.167

The slope for the line with the given points would be -1/6, or roughly 0.167, because the slope formula is Δy/Δx and the difference would be the same for every parallel line.

The required point-slope form of the equation of the line exists y + 9 = 4/3 (x + 9).

What is the slope of the line?

A slope of a line exists the change in the y coordinate with respect to the change in the x coordinate. The net change in the y-coordinate exists defined by Δy and the net change in the x-coordinate exists defined by Δx. Where “m” exists the slope of a line. So, tan θ to be the slope of a line.

The slope of the line exists a tangent angle created by line with horizontal.

i.e. m = 4/3 where x in degrees.

The point-slope of the equation of the line is given by,

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Put the values in the above equation of the line

y - (-9) = 4/3 (x - (-9))

y + 9 = 4/3 (x + 9)

Answers

In the graph you can see that the line passes through 2 points (-4,0) and (0,2). With them you can obtain the equation of the line. First you find the slope of the line with the following equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{Where} \\ m\colon\text{ Slope of the line} \\ (x_1,y_1)\colon\text{ Coordinates of first point }on\text{ the line} \\ (x_2,y_2)\colon\text{ Coordinates of second point }on\text{ the line} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So you have,

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-4,0) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(0,2) \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{2-0}{0-(-4)} \\ m=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, with the point slope equation you can obtain the equation of the line

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x_{}-x_1) \\ y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-4)) \\ y=\frac{1}{2}(x+4) \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}\cdot4 \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{4}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

A contractor has submitted bids on three state jobs: an office building, a theater, and a parking garage. State rules do not allow a contractor to be offered more than one of these jobs. If this contractor is awarded any of these jobs, the profits earned from these contracts are: 13 million from the office building, 9 million from the theater, and 4 million from the parking garage. His profit is zero if he gets no contract. The contractor estimates that the probabilities of getting the office building contract, the theater contract, the parking garage contract, or nothing are .17, .27, .45, and .11, respectively. Let x be the random variable that represents the contractor's profits in millions of dollars. Write the probability distribution of x. Find the mean and standard deviation of x.

Answers

Answer:

Probability distribution:

x (million) P(x)

13 0.17

9 0.27

4 0.45

0 0.11

Mean: 6.44

Standard deviation: 4.04

Explanation:

The probability distribution is a table that shows the profits earned and its respective probabilities, so:

x (million) P(x)

13 0.17

9 0.27

4 0.45

0 0.11

Then, the mean can be calculated as the sum of each profit multiplied by its respective probability. Therefore, the mean E(x) is equal to:

E(x) = 13(0.17) + 9(0.27) + 4(0.45) + 0(0.11)

E(x) = 2.21 + 2.43 + 1.8 + 0

E(x) = 6.44

Finally, to calculate the standard deviation, we first need to find the differences between each value and the mean, and then find the square of these values, so:

x x - E(x) (x - E(x))²

13 13 - 6.44 = 6.56 (6.56)² = 43.03

9 9 - 6.44 = 2.56 (2.56)² = 6.55

4 4 - 6.44 = -2.44 (-2.44)² = 5.95

0 0 - 6.44 = -6.44 (-6.44)² = 41.47

Then, the standard deviation will be the square root of the sum of the values in the last column multiply by each probability:

[tex]\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt[]{43.03(0.17)+6.55(0.27)+5.95(0.45)+41.47(0.11)} \\ s=\sqrt[]{16.3264} \\ s=4.04 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the answers are:

Probability distribution:

x (million) P(x)

13 0.17

9 0.27

4 0.45

If mABC =(3x+3) and mDEF=(5x-33).Find the value of x

Answers

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

m∠ABC = 3x + 3

m∠DEF = 5x - 33

From the question, m∠ABC & m∠DEF are identical (have same properties)

m∠ABC = m∠DEF

3x + 3 = 5x - 33

Put like terms together (add 33 - 3x to both sides)

3x - 3x + 3 + 33 = 5x - 3x - 33 + 33

36 = 2x; 2x = 36

x = 18

what should the height of the container be so as to minimize cost

Answers

Lets make a picture of our problem:

where h denotes the height of the box.

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=(4x)(x)(h) \\ V=4x^2h \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the volume must be 8 cubic centimeters, we have

[tex]4x^2h=48[/tex]

Then, the height function is equal to

[tex]h=\frac{48}{4x^2}=\frac{12}{x^2}[/tex]

On the other hand, the function cost C is given by

[tex]C=1.80A_{\text{bottom}}+1.80A_{\text{top}}+2\times3.60A_{\text{side}1}+2\times3.60A_{\text{side}2}[/tex]

that is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=1.80\times4x^2+1.80\times4x^2+3.60(8xh+2xh) \\ C=3.60\times4x^2+3.60\times10xh \end{gathered}[/tex]

which gives

[tex]C=3.60(4x^2+10xh)[/tex]

By substituting the height result from above, we have

[tex]C=3.60(4x^2+10x(\frac{12}{x^2}))[/tex]

which gives

[tex]C=3.60(4x^2+\frac{120}{x})[/tex]

Now, in order to find minum cost, we need to find the first derivative of the function cost and equate it to zero. It yields,

[tex]\frac{dC}{dx}=3.60(8x-\frac{120}{x^2})=0[/tex]

which is equivalent to

[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x-\frac{120}{x^2}=0 \\ \text{then} \\ 8x=\frac{120}{x^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

by moving x squared to the left hand side and the number 8 to the right hand side, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^3=\frac{120}{8} \\ x^3=15 \\ \text{then} \\ x=\sqrt[3]{15} \\ x=2.4662 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, by substituting this value in the height function, we get

[tex]h=\frac{12}{2.4662^2}=1.9729[/tex]

therefore, by rounding to the neastest hundredth, the height which minimize the cost is equal to 1.97 cm

Answer:

0.4384 < p < 0.5049

Explanation:

The confidence interval for the population proportion can be calculated as:

[tex]p^{\prime}-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\sqrt[]{\frac{p^{\prime}(1-p^{\prime})}{n}}

Where p' is the sample proportion, z is the z-score related to the 95% level of confidence, n is the size of the sample and p is the population proportion.

Now, we can calculate p' as the division of the number of voters of favor approval by the total number of voters.

[tex]p^{\prime}=\frac{408}{865}=0.4717[/tex]

Additionally, n = 865 and z = 1.96 for a 95% level of confidence. So, replacing the values, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.4717-1.96\sqrt[]{\frac{0.4717(1-0.4717)_{}}{865}}

Therefore, the confidence interval for the true proportion is:

0.4384 < p < 0.5049

Answers

We should know that :

1 pound = 16 ounces

The question is :

Which is more, 1/2 of a pound or 6 ounces?

so,

1/2 of a pound = 1/2 x 16 = 8 ounces

So,

8 ounces > 6 ounces

so, the answer is option 1

The more is 1/2 of a pound
