Given:
Yesterday:
1 female and 5 male = 52 yards
Today:
5 female and 2 male = 76 yards
Let's find the number of yards of fabric each type of costume requires.
Let F represent the number if yards for each female customer use.
Let M represent the number of yards each male customer uses.
From this situation, we have the system of equations:
1F + 5M = 52
5F + 2M = 76
Now, let's solve the system of equations simultaneously using substitution method.
Rewrite equation 1 for F:
F = 52 - 5M
Substitute 52 - 5M for F in equation 2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5F+2M=76 \\ \\ 5(52-5M)+2M=76 \\ \\ 5(52)+5(-5M)+2M=76 \\ \\ 260-25M+2M=76 \\ \\ 260-23M=76 \end{gathered}[/tex]Subtract 260 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 260-260-23M=76-260 \\ \\ -23M=-184 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by -23:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-23M}{-23}=\frac{-184}{-23} \\ \\ M=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute 8 for M in either of the equations:
F = 52 - 5M
F = 52 - 5(8)
F = 52 - 40
F = 12
Therefore, we have the solution:
F = 12, M = 8
Each male customer requires 8 yards while each female customer requires 12 yards.
ANSWER:
• Male customer = 8 yards
,• Female customer = 12 yards

Find the mean for the data set. 6, 14, 7, 4, 12, 8, 13, 4, 18, 14
Answer:
Concept:
Mean is just another name for average. To find the mean of a data set, add all the values together and divide by the number of values in the set. The result is your mean!
The values are given below as
[tex]6,14,7,4,12,8,13,4,18,14[/tex]The image below shows how to calculate the mean
By substituting values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \bar{x}=\frac{\sum ^{}_{n\mathop=0}x}{n} \\ n=10 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \bar{x}=\frac{6+14+7+4+12+8+13+4+18+14}{10} \\ \bar{x}=\frac{100}{10} \\ \bar{x}=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The mean = 10
To calculate the variance, we will use the formula below
[tex]^{}\sigma^2=\frac{\sum ^{\infty}_{n\mathop=0}(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{\sum ^{\infty}_{n\mathop{=}0}(x-\bar{x})^2}{n} \\ (x-\bar{x})^2=(6-10)^2+(14-10)^2+(7-10)^2+(4-10)^2+(12-10)^2+(8-10)^2+(13-10)^2+(4-10)^2+(18-10)^2+(14-10)^2 \\ (x-\bar{x})^2=16+16+9+36+4+4+9+36+64+16 \\ (x-\bar{x})^2=210 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \sigma^2=\frac{\sum ^{\infty}_{n\mathop{=}0}(x-\bar{x})^2}{n} \\ \sigma^2=\frac{210}{10} \\ \sigma^2=\frac{210}{10} \\ \sigma^2=21 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence
The variance = 21

Domain and Range of a Function
The domain of a function f is the set of values of the input (or independent) variable, often called x. The range is the set of values of the output (or dependent) variable, often called y, or f(x).
The function shown in the image has a shape that opens up to infinity (marked with the two arrows). This means that x can have any real value from minus infinity to plus infinity, that is, all real numbers.
Now for the range, we can see not every value of y belongs to the function. The graph decreases down to the vertex of the parabola that is located at (3,-12). This means that from y=-12 and up, the function exists, but not below this value.
Summarizing:
Domain: All real numbers
Range: y ≥ -12
charlyn walks completely around the boundary of a square whose sides are each 55 km long. from any point on her path she can see exactly 11 km horizontally in all directions. what is the area of the region consisting of all points charlyn can see during her walk, expressed in square kilometers and rounded to the nearest whole number?
The area of the region consisting of all the points Charlyn can see during her walk is equal to, A = 4840 km.
Charlyn is walking around the boundary of square A, which is 55 km long, and she has a horizontal vision of 11 km.
So as she walks around the square of 55 km, let there be another square B which lies outside square A, which is created due to her 11 km field of vision.
length of sides of square B = 55+(2×11) which is equal to 77 km.
And as she walks around the square of 55 km, let there be yet another square C which lies inside square A, which is created due to her 11 km field of vision.
length of sides of square C = 55-(2×11) which is equal to 33 km.
The area that Charlyn can see throughout her walk is equal to,
A = Area of square B - Area of square C.
The area of square B = Side² = 77² = 5929.
The area of square C = Side² = 33² = 1089.
A = 5929 - 1089.
A = 4840 km.

A candy box is made from a piece of cardboard that measures by inches. Squares of equal size will be cut out of each corner. The sides will then be folded up to form a rectangular box. What size square should be cut from each corner to obtain maximum volume?.
Using the concept of Application of Derivatives(A.O.D),we got 4.79 inches will be the square size for making the volume of candy box maximum.
A candy box is made from a piece of a cardboard that measures 43 × 23 inches.
Let squares of equal size will be cut out of each corner with the measure of x inches.
Therefore, measures of each side of the candy box will become
Length = (43 - 2x)
Width = (23 - 2x)
Height = x
Now we have to calculate the value of x for which volume of the box should be maximum.
Volume (V) = Length×Width×Height
=>V = (43 -2x)×(23 - 2x)×(x)
=>V= [(43)×(23) - 46x - 86x + 4x²]×x
=>V= [989 - 132x + 4x²]×x
=>V= 4x³- 132x² + 989x
Now we find the derivative of V and equate it to 0
[tex]\frac{dV}{dx}[/tex]= [tex]12x^{2} -264x+989[/tex]=0
Now we get values of x by quadratic formula
x=(264±[tex]\sqrt{264^{2}-4.12.989 }[/tex] )/24
=>x=(264±[tex]\sqrt{69696-47472}[/tex])/24
=>x=(264+√22224)/24, and x=(264-√22224)/24
=>x=(264+149.07)/24 and x=(264-149.07)/24
=>x=17.212 and x=4.79
Now we test it by second derivative test for the maximum volume.
[tex]\frac{d^{n}V }{dx}[/tex]=24x-264
For x = 17.212
[tex]\frac{d^{n}V }{dx}[/tex]=(24×17.212)-264=413.088-264=149.088
This value is > 0 so volume will be minimum.
For x = 4.79
[tex]\frac{d^{n}V }{dx}[/tex]=(24×4.79)-264= -149.04
-149.04 < 0, so volume of the box will be maximum.
Therefore, for x = 4.79 inches volume of the box will be maximum.

Answer:
??
Step-by-step explanation:
Which equation is true when x=10 but not when x= – 10? Select all that apply.
Applying power rules, the equations that is true when x = 10 but false when x = -10 is given as follows:
x³ = 10000.
Exponents of 10The behavior of the exponents of 10 is different for even and for odd exponents, as follows:
Even exponents generate even functions, that is, 10^n = (-10)^n if the exponent n is even.Odd exponents generate odd functions, that is 10^n = -(-10)^n if the exponent is odd.In this problem, we have two exponents, as follows:
Exponent 2 is even.Exponent 3 is odd.We want different results for the power when x = 10 and when x = -10, hence the correct option will involve the odd exponent 3.
The third power of 10 is calculated as follows:
10³ = 10 x 10 x 10 = 100 x 10 = 1000.
Hence the equation that is true for x = 10 and false for x = -10 is:
x³ = 10000.
As when x = -10, the result is:
(-10)³ = (-10) x (-10) x (-10) = 100 x (-10) = -1000.

Last year, Milan had $10,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 9% simple interest per year, and he invested the rest in an account that
paid 7% simple interest per year. After one year, he received a total of $780 in interest. How much did he invest in each account?
Answer:
$4000 at 9% and $6000 at 7%Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount invested at 9% be x.
Then the amount invested at 7% is 10000 - x.
The amount of interest after one year is $780.
Set up equation to represent this:
0.09x + 0.07(10000 - x) = 7800.09x + 700 - 0.07x = 7800.02x = 780 - 7000.02x = 80x = 80/0.02x = 4000Amount invested at 7% is:
10000 - 4000 = 6000Answer:
Milan invested:
$4,000 into the account earning 9% interest.$6,000 into the account earning 7% interest.Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
Total amount invested = $10,000.Account A = 9% simple interest per year.Account B = 7% simple interest per year. Total interest earned after one year = $780.Let x be the amount invested in Account A.
Therefore, the amount invested in Account B is (10000 - x).
Simple Interest Formula
I = Prt
where:
I = Interest earned.P = Principal invested.r = Interest rate (in decimal form).t = Time (in years).Create two equations using the given information:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Interest: Account A} &= x \cdot 0.09 \cdot 1\\& = 0.09x\end{aligned}[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Interest: Account B} &= (10000 - x) \cdot 0.07 \cdot 1 \\& = 0.07(10000 - x)\\& = 700-0.07x\end{aligned}[/tex]
As the total interest earned was $780, set the sum of the two found equations to 780 and solve for x:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies 0.09x+700-0.07x&=780\\0.02x+700&=780\\0.02x&=80\\x&=4000\end{aligned}[/tex]

The number of pencils he paid for is 15.
How to find the number of pencil he paid for?He bought some pencils for N60.00.
If he had paid N1 less for each pencil, he could have bought 5 more pencils.
Let
x = cost of each pencil that amount to N60.00
y = number of pencil
Therefore,
xy = 60
y = 60 / x
(y + 5)(x - 1) = 60
(60 / x + 5)(x - 1) = 60
60 - 60 / x + 5x - 5 = 60
- 60 / x + 5x + 55 = 60
- 60 / x + 5x = 60 - 55
- 60 / x + 5x = 5
- 60 + 5x² / x = 5
5x = -60 + 5x²
5x² - 5x - 60 = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
x² + 3x - 4x - 12 = 0
x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) = 0

Which of the following is TRUE for every polynomial P with degree = n ?a) The highest power of x in P(x) is n-1b) There are at most n-1 solutions to P(x) = 0c) The graph of P has at most n-1 turning pointsd) The graph of P has at most n-1 x-intercepts
We need to identify the true statement for every polynomial P with degree n.
The degree n of a polynomial is the exponent of the highest power of x in that polynomial. For example, the polynomial
[tex]x³+3x²+3[/tex]has degree 3, since the highest power of x has exponent 3.
Thus, if the degree is n, then the highest power is n (not n-1). Therefore, (a) is False.
About the number of solutions to P(x) = 0, it can equal the number of the polynomial degree. For some polynomials, the solutions can repeat, so the number of solutions will be less than n. For some of them, the solutions may not belong to the real numbers.
As an example, for P(x) = x²+4, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x²+4=0 \\ \\ x²=-4 \\ \\ x=\pm\sqrt{-4} \\ \\ x=\pm2\sqrt{-1} \\ \\ x=\pm2i \\ \\ x_1=-2i \\ \\ x_2=2i \end{gathered}[/tex]The above polynomial has degree 2 and 2 solutions. Therefore, (b) is False.
Each turning point is where the graph of the polynomial P(x) changes from decreasing to increasing or vice versa. The graph of any polynomial of degree n has at most n-1 turning points.
Therefore, (c) is True.
We can see that (d) is False from the following example:
the line P(x) = x+1 has degree n = 1 and n = 1 x-intercept, which is its zero x = -1.
Answer:
c) The graph of P has at most n-1 turning points
Jan uses 78 yard of fabric for one quilt square and 17 yard in another. how much fabric has jan used? responses 914 of a yard 9 over 14 of a yard 618 yards 6 and 1 eighth yards 756 of a yard 7 over 56 of a yard 1156 yards
Based on the yards of fabric used by Jan for the quilt squares, the total fabrics used by Jan was 1 ¹ / ₅₆ yards
How to find the number of yards used?The yards of fabric used by Jan were 7 / 8 of a yard and 1 / 7 of another yard.
The total yards used by Jan can be found by adding these fractions up. To add both fractions, you first need to find the common denominator of 8 and 7 which is 56.
Then the numerators can be found by dividing 56 by the denominator and then multiplying the numerator by the result.
Fraction 7 / 8 yards:
= 56 / 8 x 7
= 49 / 56
Fraction 1 / 7:
= 56 / 7 x 1
= 8 / 56
The total number of yards used is:
= 49 / 56 + 8 / 56
= 57 / 56
= 1 ¹ / ₅₆ yards
