Jeremiah keeps a record of how many pages he reads each day. He read 40% fewer pages today than yesterday. If he read 90 pages today, how many pages did he read yesterday?​

We are given the following absolute value equation

Let us solve the problem then we will compare it with the given solution.

Now we will solve for the positive and negative sign separately

Comparing it with the given solution, there is an error on the left-hand side step 2. (the sign of 38 should be positive but in the figure, it is shown negative)

Now let us substitute the obtained x values into the original absolute value equation and check if they satisfy the equation.

For x = -4:

Hence, x = -4 is a valid solution.

For x = -38:

Hence, x = -38 is not a valid solution.

The above is an example of an extraneous solution.

An extraneous solution is a solution that we get during the process of solving an equation but it is not really the solution meaning that it does not satisfy the equation!

Therefore, x = -4 is the only solution to the given equation.

Part A

Explanation: Count the number of leaves.

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

Part B

Reason:

Look at the largest stem (9) and the largest leaf of this largest stem (5).

This forms the largest value of 95.

The smallest value is 41 since it corresponds to the smallest stem and smallest leaf.

The term "min" and "max" are often used here.

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

Part C

Explanation:

The data set is

41, 52, 57, 58, 65, 66, 70, 75, 78, 80, 81, 95

There are n = 12 items in this set.

Splitting in half gets us n/2 = 12/2 = 6.

The item in slot 6 is 66, and the next item over is 70.

The midpoint of these values is the median. (66+70)/2 = 68.

This midpoint rule only applies if n is even.

To find the range, we subtract the largest and smallest items.

range = max - min = 95 - 41 = 54

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

Part D

Reason:

The stem 8 doesn't have a leaf of 5 attached to it.

It only has the leaves 0 and 1 to form the numbers 80 and 81.

Answer:  [tex](h\circ m)(2) = 6[/tex]

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

Explanation:

The notation [tex](h \circ m)(2)[/tex] refers to function composition

It's the same as writing [tex]h(m(2))[/tex]

According to

m = {(3,4), (2,-2), (-2,6), (5,8)}

We have m(2) = -2 since x = 2 leads to m(x) = -2

Then the output -2 is treated as the input of the outer function h(x)

Looking through

h = {(1,5), (-2,6), (4, -3), (6,9)}

shows that h(-2) = 6

Therefore, [tex]h(m(2)) = h(-2) = 6, \ \text{ and } \ (h\circ m)(2) = 6[/tex]

Optionally we can write out a table like shown below.

The row highlighted shows the input x = 2 leading to m(x) = -2, which is then plugged into h(x) to get 6 as the final output. Think of it like a chain of dominoes.

If segment BD is congruent to segment BC, and BD = 4x - 18, BC = x + 3, and AC = 34, then AB = 31/x.

Let the equation be AB + BC = AC

substitute the values in the above equation, we get

AB + x + 3 = 34

simplifying the value of x,

Subtract A B from both sides AB + x + 3 - AB = 34 - A B

x + 3 = 34 - AB

Subtract 3 from both sides,

x + 3 - 3 = 34 - AB - 3

x = -AB + 31

Plug in this value of x into the line segments to find BC and AC.

Where, BC = x + 3

substitute the value of x in the above equation, we get

BC = [-AB + 31 ] + 3

BC = -AB + 34

Then, AB + BC = AC

x = -AB + 31

AB = 31/x

Hence, If segment BD is congruent to segment BC, and BD = 4x - 18,

BC = x + 3, and AC = 34, then AB = 31/x.

Explanation:

A hand of two pairs is when we have 2 cards of the same value, and another 2 of the same value, then the fifth card is something else entirely.

An example hand is:

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

We use the nCr formula since order doesn't matter.

C(n,r) = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)

For any suit, there are n = 13 cards. We make r = 2 selections for each of the two pair.

C(n,r) = (n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

C(13,2) = (13!)/(2!*(13-2)!)

C(13,2) = (13!)/(2!*11!)

C(13,2) = (13*12*11!)/(2!*11!)

C(13,2) = (13*12)/(2!)

C(13,2) = (13*12)/(2*1)

C(13,2) = (156)/(2)

C(13,2) = 78

There are 78 ways to select which two ranks will be chosen to represent each of the two pair.

Let's say one of the ranks of the two pair is a king. There are n = 4 kings and we select r = 2 of them. That gives C(4,2) = 6 ways to select those two kings. We'll also have 6 ways to select the other two cards in the other pair.

Therefore, we have 78*6*6 = 2808 ways to pick the first four cards that consist of the two pair (eg: 2 kings and 2 queens).

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

So far we've considered just the two pairs. We have one card left to select. There are 13-2 = 11 cards of any particular suit that weren't part of the two pair. There are 4 suits to pick from, which means we have 11*4 = 44 cards to pick from for that fifth and final slot.

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

Summary so far:

That gives 2808*44 = 123,552 different two pair hands possible.

This is out of C(52,5) = 2,598,960 hands

Divide those two values to get the final answer

(123,552)/(2,598,960) = 0.04753901560624

This then rounds to 0.04754 as the final answer.

Answer:

x ≈ 3.33

Step-by-step explanation:

given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition y = 6 , x = 10

6 = [tex]\frac{k}{10}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 10 )

60 = k

y = [tex]\frac{60}{x}[/tex] ← equation of variation

when y = 18 , then

18 = [tex]\frac{60}{k}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by k to clear the fraction )

18k = 60 ( divide both sides by 18 )

k = [tex]\frac{60}{18}[/tex] ≈ 3.33 ( to 3 significant figures )

Vertical angles are : 1 and 6

supplementary angles : 1 and 2

linear pair : angle 4 and 8

adjacent angles: 21 and 22

A supplementary angle is an angle that, when added to another angle, results in a total angle measure of 180 degrees. In other words, if two angles are supplementary, the sum of their angle measures will be equal to 180 degrees.

For example, if angle A measures 100 degrees, its supplementary angle B would measure 80 degrees, since 100 + 80 = 180. Conversely, if angle B measures 120 degrees, its supplementary angle A would measure 60 degrees, since 120 + 60 = 180.

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that:

a. The equation used to find the distance of the flowerbed from the​ hive is: d = 540 feet per minute x 1.6 minutes.

b. The distance of the flower bed from the hive is: 864 feet.

Velocity is given by the distance divided by the time, as follows:

v = d/t

In the context of this problem, we have that:

The times are as follows:

The sum of this times is of 22 - 18 = 4 minutes, hence:

[tex]t_1 + t_2 = 4[/tex]

During the first step, that is, from hive to flowerbed, the velocity is 1.5 times greater than during the second step, thus the second time is 1.5 times the first time, that is:

[tex]t_2 = 1.5t_1[/tex]

Then the first time is calculated as follows:

[tex]1.5t_1 + t_1 = 4[/tex]

[tex]2.5t_1 = 4[/tex]

[tex]t_1 = \frac{4}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]t_1 = 1.6[/tex]

The velocity during this time was of 9 feet per second = 540 feet per minute, for 1.6 minutes, hence the equation is:

The subset of the sample space that represents the complement of the event in which Joe plays in the first match is A = {JL, KL}

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

The sample space of this experiment consists of all possible ways of choosing two names from a group of three.

Since the order in which the names are chosen does not matter, the size of the sample space is given by the number of combinations of 3 things taken 2 at a time, which is 3.

The three possible outcomes are: {JK, JL, KL}.

If we want to find the complement of the event in which Joe plays in the first match, we need to find the outcomes in which Joe does not play in the first match.

The simplified form of polynomials are:

1.  (a² - 3a)² = 3a²

2. (1/2x³ + 6x)² = -12x²

Given,

We have to expand the given polynomials and simplify them.

1. The polynomial: (a² - 3a)²

Here,

The polynomial is in the form of (a - b)²

So,

(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

Then,

(a² - 3a)² = (a²)² - (2 × a² × 3a) + (3a)²

(a² - 3a)² = a⁴ - 6a³ + 9a²

(a² - 3a)² = a²(a² - 6a + 9)

Here,

(a² - 6a + 9) is in quadratic form. Solve using quadratic formula.

a = 1, b = -6 and c = 9

[tex]\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6(+-)\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(1)(9) } }{2(1)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6(+-)\sqrt{36 - 36} }{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6(+-)\sqrt{0} }{2}[/tex] = (6±0) / 2

= 6/2 = 3

Then,

(a² - 3a)² = a²(a² - 6a + 9)

Here,

(a² - 6a + 9) = 3

So,

(a² - 3a)² = 3a²

2. The polynomial: (1/2x³ + 6x)²

Here, the polynomial is in the form (a + b)²

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Here,

(1/2x³ + 6x)² = (1/2x³)² + (2 × 1/2x³ × 6x) + (6x)²

(1/2x³ + 6x)² = 1/4x⁶ + 6x⁴ + 36x²

(1/2x³ + 6x)² = x²(1/4x⁴ + 6x² + 36)

a = 1/4, b = 6 and c = 36

Quadratic formula: [tex]\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{-6(+-)\sqrt{(-6)^{2} -4(1/4)(36)} }{2(1/4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6(+-)\sqrt{36-36} }{1/2}[/tex] = (-6±0) / (1/2) = -6 × 2 = -12

Therefore,

(1/2x³ + 6x)² = x²(1/4x⁴ + 6x² + 36)

Here,

(1/4x⁴ + 6x² + 36) = -12

Then,

(1/2x³ + 6x)² = -12x²
