In a survey, 4 out of 30 students reported that they walk to school. If there are 900 students in the school, how many walk to school?

Answer:

m=-2/3  (slope)

b=3        (y-intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where the slope is m and the y-intercept is b.

You have 3y+2x=9.

We need to solve this for y to get it into y=mx+b form.

3y+2x=9

Subtract 2x on both sides:

3y     =-2x+9

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]y=\frac{-2}{3}x+\frac{9}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-2}{3}x+3[/tex]

Now compare this to:

y=mx+b

m=-2/3  

b=3

15.9

Answer: 15.9 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the circumference of a circle is this one:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

Where "C" is the circumference of the circle and "r" is the radius.

We know that:

[tex[C=50cm\\\pi=3.14[/tex]

Then, substituting these values into the formula and solving for "r", we get:

[tex]50cm=2(3.14)r\\\\r=\frac{50cm}{6.28}\\\\r=7.96cm[/tex]

Since the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, we can multiply the radius by 2 to get the diameter of this circle. Then, rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeters, this is:

[tex]D=2r\\\\D=2(7.96cm)\\\\D=15.9cm[/tex]

Answer:

6 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of terms we will use the formula:

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

where a is the first term= 1

r is the common ratio = 2

Sn is the sum of series = 63

n is the number of terms = ?

Now substitute the values in the formula:

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

63= 1(1-2^n)/1-2

63=1(1-2^n)/-1

63*-1 = 1(1-2^n)

-63 = 1-2^n

Now combine the constants:

-63-1= -2^n

-64= -2^n

64= 2^n

2^6 = 2^n

When the base are same powers are equal to each other.

6=n

Thus there are 6 terms....

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercepts occur when f(x) = 0.

1.  logx  - 1 = 0

logx = 1

By the definition of a log ( to the base 10):

x  = 10^1 = 10

So the x-intercept is  c (10,0).

2. - (logx - 2) = 0

logx - 2 = 0

log x = 2

so x = 100.

So it is d (100,0).

3 .   log(-x - 2)  = 0

-x - 2 = 10^0 = 1

-x = 3

x = -3

So it is  b (-3, 0).

4.  f(x) = -log -(x - 1)

log - (x - 1) = 0

log 1 = 0

so -(x - 1) = 1

- x + 1 = 1

x = 1-1 = 0

So  it is a. (0,0).

     Function                               x-intercept

[tex]f(x)=\log x-1[/tex]                              [tex](10,0)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-(\log x-2)[/tex]                        [tex](100,0)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=\log (-x-2)[/tex]                         [tex](-3,0)[/tex]

[tex]f(x)=-\log -(x-1)[/tex]                     [tex](0,0)[/tex]

We know that the x-intercept of a function is the point where the function value is zero.

i.e. the x where f(x)=0

1)

[tex]f(x)=\log x-1[/tex]

when [tex]f(x)=0[/tex] we have:

[tex]\log x-1=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=1\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=\log 10[/tex]

Hence, taking the exponential function on both the sides of the equation we have:

[tex]x=10[/tex]

The x-intercept is: (10,0)

2)

[tex]f(x)=-(\log x-2)[/tex]

when, [tex]f(x)=0[/tex]

we have:

[tex]-(\log x-2)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x-2=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=2\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=2\cdot \log 10\\\\i.e.\\\\\log x=\log (10)^2[/tex]

Since,

[tex]m\log n=\log n^m[/tex]

Hence, we have:

[tex]\log x=\log 100[/tex]

Taking anti logarithm on both side we get:

[tex]x=100[/tex]

Hence, the x-intercept is:

(100,0)

3)

[tex]f(x)=\log (-x-2)[/tex]

when

[tex]f(x)=0[/tex]

we have:

[tex]\log (-x-2)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log (-x-2)=\log 1[/tex]

On taking anti logarithm on both the side of the equation we get:

[tex]-x-2=1\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-2-1\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-3[/tex]

Hence, the x-intercept is: (-3,0)

4)

[tex]f(x)=-\log -(x-1)[/tex]

when,

[tex]f(x)=0\ we\ have:[/tex]

[tex]-\log -(x-1)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log -(x-1)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\log -(x-1)=\log 1\\\\i.e.\\\\-(x-1)=1\\\\i.e.\\\\x-1=-1\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-1+1\\\\i.e.\\\\x=0[/tex]

Answer:

$311.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are required to use the Compound interest formula for finding the Amount at the end of 9th year

The formula is given as

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{tn}[/tex]

Where ,

A is the final amount

P is the initial amount = $200

r is the rate of interest = 5% annual = 0.05

n is the frequency of compounding in a year ( Here it is compounding monthly) = 12

t is the time period = 9

Now we substitute all these values in the formula and solve for A

[tex]A=200(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{9\times 12}[/tex]

[tex]A=200(1+0.00416)^{108}[/tex]

[tex]A=200(1.00416)^{108}[/tex]

[tex]A=200 \times 1.556[/tex]

[tex]A=311.20[/tex]

Hence the amount after 9 years will be $311.20

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x² - 2x + 36 = 5x² + 10x ( subtract 5x² + 10x from both sides )

x² - 12x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

This is a perfect square of the form

(x - a)² = x² - 2ax + a²

36 = 6² ⇒ a = 6 and 2ax = (2 × 6)x = 12x, hence

(x - 6)² = 0

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.

Actually 1 and x both are polynomials. Therefore 1/x is already a quotient of polynomials.

Two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified, is 1/x

x+1/x^2+x

Take the common of the denominator

x+1/x(x+1)

x+1 will be cancelled out by x+1

1/x

1/x is not a polynomial, so polynomials are not closed under division.

Polynomials are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. Addition and multiplication are associative and commutative.

There is an additive identity which is 0.

There is a multiplicative identity which is 1....

Polynomial expressions involve variables, coefficients, and exponents, combined by addition, subtraction, and multiplication. They are not closed under division, as shown by the quotient 1/x, which is not a polynomial. However, polynomials are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

A polynomial expression is a mathematical expression that can involve variables, coefficients, and exponents, that are combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication operations. For your question, we can consider two polynomial expressions: x and 1. The quotient of these two expressions is 1/x.

However, 1/x is not a polynomial expression, because it involves division by a variable. This shows that polynomial expressions are not closed under division.

In contrast, polynomials are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. For example, if we add, subtract or multiply any two polynomials we will always get another polynomial.

These operations do not generate any new type of expressions outside the realm of polynomials, unlike division, which can produce non-polynomial results, such as rational expressions.

d=10.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

circumference of circle=32.4 mm

radius=?

diameter=?

formula of circumference of circle is given as:

C=2πr

Putting value we get

32.4=2πr

r=32.4/2π

r=5.15

d=2r

d=2(5.15)

d=10.31 !

For this case we have that by definition, the circumference of a circle is given by:

[tex]C = \pi * d[/tex]

Where:

d: It is the diameter of the circle

We have as data that:

[tex]C = 32.4 \ mm[/tex]

Answer: [tex]201.06\ in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be calculated with this formula:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

In this case you know that this cone  has a base with a radius of 4 inches and a height of 12 inches. Then:

[tex]r=4\ in\\h=12\ in[/tex]

So, in order to calculate its volume, you must substitute these values into the formula. Then:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (4\ in)^2(12\ in)\\\\V=201.06\ in^3[/tex]

Answer:

The volume of given cone =  200.96 inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Volume of cone =(1/3) πr²h

Where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of the cone

To find the volume of cone

Here r = 4 inches and h = 12 inches

Volume =  (1/3)πr²h

The value of z in the table is 40.

To find the value of z in the table, we can set up an equation using the concentrations and amounts of the solutions. Let's denote the amount of the 4% peroxide solution as x and the amount of the 10% peroxide solution as y. We can then set up the equation:

0.04x + 0.1y = 0.08(100)

Simplifying this equation, we have:

0.04x + 0.1y = 8

Now, let's refer to the table to find the values of x and y. Since the sum of the amounts is 100 L, we have:

x + y = 100

From the information in the table, we can see that the value of x is 60. This means that y must be 40, as the sum of the amounts is 100. Now we can substitute the values of x and y into the equation:

0.04x + 0.1y = 8

0.04(60) + 0.1(40) = 8

2.4 + 4 = 8

The equation holds true, so the value of z in the table is 40.

Final answer:

Three equivalent fractions for 60.1% with different denominators are found by converting the percent to a decimal and then to the requested fractions. The fractions are 601/1,000 (simplest form), 60.1/100 simplifies to 601/1,000, and 6.01/10 simplifies to 601/1,000.

Explanation:

To write three equivalent fractions for 60.1% with denominators of 1,000, 100, and 10, we first convert the percent to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 60.1% becomes 0.601. This decimal can then be written as a fraction with the various denominators.

With a denominator of 1,000: 0.601 × 1,000/1,000 = 601/1,000

With a denominator of 100: 0.601 × 100/100 = 60.1/100 which simplifies to 601/1,000

With a denominator of 10: 0.601 × 10/10 = 6.01/10 which simplifies to 601/1,000

Note that 601/1,000 is the simplest form for the fraction equivalent of 60.1%. When we adjust for the different denominators, we always arrive back at the equivalent fraction of 601/1,000 because it is the simplest form.

Round the decimal

Answer is 30

Mrs. Yamato must bake 30 pans of muffins to have enough for 350 people, as each pan makes 12 muffins and she cannot bake a fraction of a pan.

Mrs. Yamato needs to calculate how many pans of muffins to bake to serve 350 people, given each pan holds 12 muffins. To find the number of pans, we divide the total number of muffins needed by the number of muffins each pan can hold.

The calculation would be 350 muffins  7 12 muffins/pan = 29.17 pans.

Since she cannot bake a fraction of a pan, Mrs. Yamato will need to round up to the nearest whole number, which means she must bake 30 pans of muffins to ensure there are enough muffins to serve 350 people.

Answer:

The first step would to be use quotient rule.

3

Step-by-step explanation:

ln(x-1)=ln(6)-ln(x)

The first step would to be use quotient rule there on the right hand side:

ln(x-1)=ln(6/x)

*Quotient rule says ln(a/b)=ln(a)-ln(b).

Now that since we have ln(c)=ln(d) then c must equal d, that is c=d.

ln(x-1)=ln(6/x)

implies

x-1=6/x

So you want to shove a 1 underneath the (x-1) and just cross multiply that might be easier.

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

Cross multiplying:

[tex]x(x-1)=1(6)[/tex]

Multiplying/distribute[/tex]

[tex]x^2-x=6[/tex]

Subtract 6 on both sides:

[tex]x^2-x-6=0[/tex]

Now this is not too bad to factor since the coefficient of x^2 is 1.  All you have to do is find two numbers that multiply to be -6  and add up to be -1.

These numbers are -3 and 2 since -3(2)=-6 and -3+2=-1.

So the factored form of our equation is

[tex](x-3)(x+2)=0[/tex]

This implies that x-3=0 or x+2=0.

So solving x-3=0 gives us x=3 (just added 3 on both sides).

So solve x+2=0 gives us x=-2 (just subtracted 2 on both sides).

We need to see if these are actually the solutions by plugging them in.

Just a heads up: You can't do log(negative number).

Checking x=3:

ln(3-1)=ln(6)-ln(3)

ln(2)=ln(6/3)

ln(2)=ln(2)

This is true.

Checking x=-2:

ln(-2-1)=ln(6)-ln(-2)

ln(-3)=ln(6)-ln(-2)

We don't need to go further -2 makes the inside of our logarithms negative above.

The only solution is 3.

[tex]A_1=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 12=54[/tex]

The curved surface area of triangular prism is

[tex]A_2=\text{perimeter of base}\times height[/tex]

[tex]A_2=(9+12+15)\times 10[/tex]

[tex]A_2=9\times 10+12\times 10+15\times 10[/tex]

[tex]A_2=360[/tex]

The surface area of the triangular prism is

[tex]A=2A_1+A_2[/tex]

[tex]A=2(54)+360[/tex]

[tex]A=108+360[/tex]

[tex]A=468[/tex]

The surface area of the triangular prism is 468 square centimeters. Therefore the correct option is 4.

Answer:

Probability = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the formula of probability

Probability = number of possible outcomes/total number of outcomes

There is only one 28 so the chance of getting a 28 is 1/6.

Not getting a 28 would mean getting any one number from 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.

Step 2: Apply the probability formula

Probability = number of possible outcomes/total number of outcomes

Probability of not getting 28 = 5/6
