I need a little help with the second part of b and part c! + can y'all check my explanations please

a. (my answer for context) The system for this word problem is x+y=14; 11.99x+24.99y=245.86 (x is shirts and y is pants)

b. 1. Explain, without solving, which method is most efficient in solving this system: substitution, elimination, graphing, or making a table?
(my answer is substitution, because the solutions to x and y can easily be substituted into the first equation).

b. 2. Explain why the other methods are not as sufficient.
(I need a little help but I'm thinking it's because for this system solving method you basically only have to solve the second equation and then just substitute)

c. How could you simplify the numbers used in this system to simplify the system? Does this new system change your answer to part b? Explain. (What does this mean? How can I answer it?)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Your answer is appropriate.

c. The decimals can be eliminated by multiplying by 100. (You can also add 0.14 to the problem, adding .01 to each individual price and 0.14 to the total. This will make the second equation be 12x +25y = 246, which makes the numbers slightly easier to work with.) Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any common factors that would reduce the size of the numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. We assume you're finding quantities of shirts and pants for a purchase of 14 total items costing $245.86. If so, your equations are appropriate.

b. The solution for one variable or the other can be found in 6 arithmetic operations using your suggested method. Any other method takes as many or more. (Multiplying the first equation by -11.99 and adding to the second gets you the equivalent of substituting for x in as many operations.)

Graphing can be quick and easy with the right tool. Since you know the solutions are integers, just about any graphing tool will get you close enough.

Another method (using only 5 arithmetic operations) is to calculate the average price of an item as 245.86/14, then figuring the ratio of the difference from the lower price to the total difference in price. Multiplying this ratio by the number of items gives the number of the higher-priced item (pants). (245.86/14 -11.99)/(24.99 -11.99)·14 = 6 This method treats the problem as a "mixture" problem, finding the numbers of each consitutuent that make the average come out what it is.

c. See above for how to simplify the numbers. Done properly, the answer is not changed. (Some people don't work well with decimals or fractions, so like to see those eliminated from the problem. Some folks work better with small integers than with large ones, so like to see the numbers be made as small as possible.)

what is the y-intercept of (2, 18) and (6, 6)?

Answers

Assuming you want the y-intercept of the line through those two points, you can find it a couple of different ways.

The slope of the line is ...

... slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (6-18)/(6-2) = -12/4 = -3

We are given the y-value for x=2. When x decreases by 2 to x=0, then the y-value changes by (-2)·(-3) = +6, from 18 to 24.

___

You can also write the equation of the line in point-slope form as ...

... y = -3(x -2) +18

Again, when x=0, the y-intercept is ...

... y = -3(0 -2) +18 = 6 +18 = 24

The y-intercept of the line through (2, 18) and (6, 6) is 24.

PLS PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!ASAP!!!!!!????

Answers

Curtains:

$24.50 x 3 = $73.50

Bedspread:

$39.95 x 3 = $119.85

Gallon of paint:

$24.96 x 3 = $74.88

Lamp shade:

$9.99 x 3 = $29.97

The cost of all the items:

$73.50 + $119.85 + $74.88 + $29.97 = $298.20

How much money is left:

$325 - $298.20 = $26.80

So the family has $26.80 left.

the answer for the problem is A.

Answer:

A) -0.18 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

arcsin(x) = a means that sin(a) = x

For example

arcsin(1) = pi/2.

It means that pi/2 is the value for which the sin is equals to 1.

arcsin(-0.18)

This is the value of x for which sin(x) = -0.18. This happens for x = -0.18 rad.

So the correct answer is:

A) -0.18 rad

Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%

Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!

|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%

Suppose the roots of a polynomial are 3 4 , − 7 8 , − 3 8 , and − 1 9 . Which choice is a factor of the polynomial?


A) (x +3/4)

B) (x + 3/8)

C) (x - 7/8)

D) (x - 1/9)

Answers

Answer:

x+7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial has roots at the points where the curve cuts the x axis.

This can also be said as values of x for which the polynomial is 0

Given that when x =a is root means, we have x-a is the factor.

Based on the above, we find when 3/4, -7/8, -3/8 and -1/9 are roots

factors are x-3/4, x+7/8, x+3/8, x+1/9

Hence answer is

B) (x + 3/8)

The other options do not match with the factors only option Bmatches.


Answer: The factor of the polynomial is [tex](x+\frac{3}{8})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

4 roots of the polynomial

Root 1: [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The factor for this root becomes: [tex](x-\frac{3}{4})[/tex]

Root 2: [tex]\frac{-7}{8}[/tex]

The factor for this root becomes: [tex](x+\frac{7}{8})[/tex]

Root 3: [tex]\frac{-3}{8}[/tex]

The factor for this root becomes: [tex](x+\frac{3}{8})[/tex]

Root 4: [tex]\frac{-1}{9}[/tex]

The factor for this root becomes: [tex](x+\frac{1}{9})[/tex]

Hence, the factor of the polynomial is [tex](x+\frac{3}{8})[/tex]

Graph the function f(x)=x2.

Answers

Graph [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

In our f(x) there is no x term and constant so we put 0

[tex]f(x) = 1x^2+0x+0[/tex]

The value of a=1 , b=0  and c=0

To find vertex , use formula [tex]x= \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

Now plug in x=0 in f(x) equation

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

if i have a pay rate of $21.00 and marked up 78.7% and made a 10% profit. how did i get $41.28?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of pay rate =$21

If she marked up by 78.7% , so it becomes

[tex]78.7\%\text{ of}\$21\\\\=\frac{78.7}{100}\times \$21\\\\=\$16.527[/tex]

So, our amount for pay rate becomes

[tex]21+16.527\\\\=\$37.527[/tex]

Now, he said he made a profit of 10%,so it becomes

[tex]10\%\text{ of }37.527\\\\=\frac{10}{100}\times 32.527\\\\=\$3.7527[/tex]

So, our new pay rate becomes

[tex]37.527+3.7527\\\\=\$41.2797[/tex]

This is the step through which we can get $41.28.

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5 )

m = [tex]\frac{-5-0}{0-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

line crosses y-axis at (0, - 5 ) hence c = - 5

y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x - 5 ← in slope-intercept form

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Write an expression for the calculation divide 10 in half and subtract from 50 divide into fifths

Answers

There are several issues with this English description, as there often are.

We assume you mean you want to divide 10 into two equal parts, then subtract one of those parts from 50.

... (10/2) is half of 10

When that is subtracted from 50, the result is

... 50 - (10/2)

We assume you want one fifth of this result. Other interpretations are that you are subtracting 10/2 from (50/5), or that you are using the difference as the denominator with 1/5 or some other number of fifths as the numerator (dividing <the difference> into 1/5).

Then your expression might be ...

The Answer is 335.

Final answer:

To evaluate the expression {362-[6×3+(48÷2)×2]}+3(9+4), we need to follow the order of operations. After simplifying each part of the expression and performing the necessary operations, the final result is 287.

Explanation:

To evaluate the expression {362-[6×3+(48÷2)×2]}+3(9+4), we need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. This acronym stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses: [6×3+(48÷2)×2].

Using the division rule, we have: [6×3+(24)×2].Next, we perform the multiplications: [18+48×2].Then, we simplify further: [18+96].The sum inside the parentheses is equal to 114. Therefore, the expression becomes {362-114}+3(9+4).Next, let's evaluate the expression inside the curly braces: {362-114}. This can be done by subtracting 114 from 362, resulting in 248.Finally, we have to evaluate the expression 3(9+4). Following the order of operations, we perform the addition inside the parentheses first: 3(13). Multiplying 3 by 13 gives us 39.

Now, we add the results of the two evaluated expressions: 248+39. This gives us a final result of 287.

Final answer:

To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for a whole life insurance policy at two age levels, calculate and subtract the total premium at each age.

Explanation:

To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for the whole life insurance policy at the two age levels, we need to calculate the total premium at each age and then subtract the two values.

For Angelo at age 40, the value of the policy is $125,000. Let's assume the premium rate is x. So, the total premium at age 40 is 20 * x. For Angelo at age 45, the value of the policy is still $125,000. Let's assume the premium rate is y. So, the total premium at age 45 is 15 * y. To find the difference in total premium costs over 20 years, subtract the total premium at age 45 from the total premium at age 40: 20 * x - 15 * y.

Therefore, the difference in total premium costs over 20 years for this policy at the two age levels is 20 * x - 15 * y.
