Answers

Ryanne = 14 
half her age : 14 ÷ 2 = 7
three more  : 7 + 3 = 10
Her brother is 10 years old.

Answer:

10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use the letter r to denote Ryanne's age:

r = 14

And  according to the problem, her brother's age is THREE MORE THAN HALF HER AGE

so, we start by finding  how much is half of Ryanne's age:

r/2 = 14/2 = 7

and next, we find that three more than half her age is:

7 + 3 = 10

Her brother is 10 years old

out of a port departed a steam boat with a speed of 36.8km/h. In 1.75 hours out of the same port and going the Sam direction departed a speed boat. In 1.8 hours after the the department of the speed boat, the distance between the speed boat and the steam boat was 86.9km. What was the speed boats speed in km/h?

Answers

To solve this, you need to use the equation that gives the relationship between time(t), speed(s), and distance(d):

s=d/t
d=st

For the steam boat, the velocity was 36.8, and the time was 1.75 hours before the speedboat left plus the 1.8 hours after the speedboat left. Substitute this information into the equation to find the distance it travels:

d=36.8*(1.75+1.8)
d=130.64 km

According to the question, we know that the distance the speedboat travels is 86.9 km behind the steam boat. So d for the speedboat is 130.64-86.9, or
43.74 km. It is also given that the speedboat travels for 1.8 hours, so t=1.8. Substitute this information into the equation to find the speed.

s=43.74/1.8
s=24.3 km/h

So the speed of the boat is 24.3 km/h

Hi there!


My name is Chris and I'll be helping you today!


So your question states that a boat departed the port at 36.8 km/h.

After 1.75 hours, a second boat emerges from the port.

After 1.8 hours, the second boat is 86.9 km away from the first boat.

Also, remember that speed equals distance over time.


Therefore, your answer will be: The speed boat's speed in km/h was 24.3 km/h. Forgive me if I am incorrect.

An investment of $750 will be worth $1500 after 12 years of continuous compounding at a fixed interest rate. What percent is the interest rate?

Answers

Final answer:

The interest rate is 100%, or 1 as a decimal, for continuously compounded interest.

Explanation:

To find the interest rate, we can use the formula for compound interest:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

A is the final amount ($1500)P is the principal amount ($750)r is the interest rate (unknown)n is the number of times interest is compounded per year (continuously compounded)t is the time in years (12)

Using the given information, we can plug in the values and solve for r:

$1500 = $750(1 + r/1)^(1*12)$2 = 1 + rr = $2 - 1 = $1

The interest rate is 100%, or 1 as a decimal, for continuously compounded interest.

The interest rate, for continuous compounding, is approximately 5.775%.

To find the interest rate for continuous compounding, we can use the formula for compound interest:

[tex]\[ A = P \times e^{rt} \][/tex]

Where:

- [tex]\( A \)[/tex] is the final amount of money,

- [tex]\( P \)[/tex] is the principal amount (initial investment),

- [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the interest rate (annual rate in decimal),

- [tex]\( t \)[/tex] is the time the money is invested for (in years),

- [tex]\( e \)[/tex] is the base of the natural logarithm, approximately equal to 2.71828.

Given:

- [tex]\( P = $750 \)[/tex],

- [tex]\( A = $1500 \)[/tex],

- [tex]\( t = 12 \)[/tex] years.

We need to solve for [tex]\( r \)[/tex], the interest rate.

Step 1 :

**Substitute the Given Values into the Formulaa :

[tex]\[ 1500 = 750 \times e^{12r} \][/tex]

Step 2 :

**Divide Both Sides by 750**:

[tex]\[ \frac{1500}{750} = e^{12r} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 2 = e^{12r} \][/tex]

Step 3 :

**Take the Natural Logarithm of Both Sides**:

[tex]\[ \ln(2) = \ln(e^{12r}) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \ln(2) = 12r \ln(e) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \ln(2) = 12r \][/tex]

Step 4 :

**Solve for [tex]\( r \)[/tex]**:

[tex]\[ r = \frac{\ln(2)}{12} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ r = \frac{0.693}{12} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ r = 0.05775 \][/tex]

Step 5 :

**Convert the Interest Rate to a Percentage**:

[tex]\[ r_{\text{percentage}} = 0.05775 \times 100\% \][/tex]

[tex]\[ r_{\text{percentage}} = 5.775\% \][/tex]

So, the interest rate is approximately 5.775%.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 42 inches. If the length of the rectangle is 14 inches, which equation could be used to find the width, x? A. 2(x + 14) = 42 B. x + 2(14) = 42 C. 14(x + 2) = 42 D. x + 14 = 42

Answers

A. 2(x+14) = 42

(2x = 14
  x = 7

2(7) + 2(14) = 14 + 28 = 42)

Answer:

Option A is correct

equation [tex]2(x+14)=42[/tex] could be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle [tex](l)[/tex] is 14 inches and perimeter of rectangle is 42 inches.

Perimeter(P)of a rectangle in inches is given by:

[tex]P= (2l+w)[/tex] ; where [tex]l[/tex]  is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the value of  P=42 inches , w =x inches and [tex]l = 14[/tex] inches in the above formula we get;

[tex]42 = 2 \cdot (14+x)[/tex]

Divide by 2 on both sides  we get;

[tex]21 = 14+x[/tex]

On simplify, we get;

x = 21-14 = 7 inches

therefore, the width of the rectangle is, x = 7 inches

Check :

Substitute the value of x =7 in option A.

[tex]2(x+14) =42[/tex]

[tex]2(7+14)=42[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot 21 =42[/tex]

42 = 42      

Hence, the only equation that could be used to find the width, x is,  [tex]2(x + 14) = 42[/tex]

table Mary used Delicious (d) and Golden Delicious (g) apples to make homemade applesauce. Delicious apples are $0.75 each and Golden Delicious apples are $1.25 each. Mary spent $21.00 on 22 apples. How many Golden Delicious apples did Mary buy?

Answers

1. To solve this problem, you must make a System of equations.

 2. The equations are:


 d+g=22 (i) 
 0.75d+1.25g=21 (ii)

 3. If you clear "d" from the equation (i), you have:

 d+g=22
 d=22-g

 4. Now, you must substitute d=22-g into the equation (ii):

 0.75d+1.25g=21
 0.75(22-g)+1.25g=21

 5. When you clear "g", you obtain its value:

 16.5-0.75+1.25g=21
 16.5+0.5g=21
 0.5g=21-16.5
 g=4.5/0.5
 g=9 Golden Delicious apples

 6. If you also want to know the value of "d", you can substitute g=9 into the equation (i) and clear "d":

 d+g=22
 d+9=22
 d=22-9
 d=13 Delicious apples

 How many Golden Delicious apples did Mary buy?

 The answer is: Mary bought 9 Golden Delicious apples.

Problem 1. Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues.

1 - 3 + 9 - 27 + ...

Answer: option C) summation of one times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity

Explanation:


1) Sequence: 1 - 3 + 9 - 27: given

2) ratio of two consecutive terms:

- 3 / 1 = - 3

9 / (-3) = - 3

-27 / (9) = - 3

=> ratio = - 3 means that every term is the previous one multiplied by - 3

3) terms

First term: 1 * (-3)^0 = 1

Second term: 1* (-3)^1 = - 3

Third term: 1 * (-3)^2 = 9

Fourth term: 1 * (-3)^3 = - 27

So, the summation is:


∑ 1 * (-3)^n ,
n=0

which is read summation of one times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity => option C.



Problem 2. Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues.

Answer: option  A) summation of the quantity negative four plus nine n from n equals zero to fifteen

Probe the statement A):

15

n=0

Now develop that summation: - 4 +9(0) - 4+ 9(1) - 4 + 9(2) - 4 + 9(3) +....+ - 4 + 9(15) = - 4 + 5 + 14 + 23 + 131

Which is the very same sequence given.Therefore, the first statement if right.


Problem 3. Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues.
25 + 36 + 49 + 64 + ... + n^2 + ...

Answer: option A) summation of n squared from n equals five to infinity

Explanation

First term: 25 = 5^2
Second term: 36 = 6^2
Third term: 49 = 7^2
Fourth term: 64 = 8^2

nth term n^2

last term: the sequence is infinite

So, you can see that the sequence is the sum of the square of the integers from n = 5 to infinity =

∑  (n^2)
n = 5

which is what summation of n squared from n equals five to infinity means.

You just have to sum all the terms (since they are few numbers that is the best way): - 1 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14 + 17 = 56

Answer: 56


Problem 5. Find the sum of the geometric sequence.
1, one divided by four, one divided by sixteen, one divided by sixty four, one divided by two hundred and fifty six

Answer: option D) 341 / 256

Explanation:
Write in form of fractions: 1 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256

You'd better use the formula for the summation of a geometric sequence

k
∑  A * (r^n) = A * (1 - r^k) / (1 - r)
n=1

In this case: r = 1/4 (the ratio)
k = 5 (the number of terms)
A = 1 (the first term)

=> The sum = 1 * [1 - (1/4)^5 ] / [ 1 - 1/4], which when you simplify turns into 341 / 256 which is the option D.

Problem 6. Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the sequence. Show all work for full credit.
1, -3, -7, -11, ...

Answer: - 104

Explanation:

You can either sum the 8 terms or use the formula for the sum of an aritmetic sequence.

I will sum the 8 terms.

Note the the constant distance to sum is - 4, so the sum of the first eight terms is:

1  - 3 - 7 - 11 - 15 - 19 - 23 - 27 = - 104

The profits of mr cash’s company is represented by the equation p(t)=-3t^2+18t-4, where p(t) is the amount of profit in hundreds of thousands of dollars and t is the number of years of operation. he realizes his company is on the down turn and wishes to sell before he ends up in debt. in what year of operation does mr cash’s business show the maximum profit?

Answers

Answer: 3rd year of operation

Explanation:


Note that p(t) is a quadratic function and so its graph is a parabola. Since the coefficient of t² in p(t) is negative, the maximum point in p(t) exist at its vertex. Moreover, the maximum value of p(t) is the y-coordinate of its vertex.

Note that p(t) can be expressed as:

[tex]p(t) = a(t-h)^2 + k [/tex]   (1)

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex of p(t).

To manipulate p(t) in the form expressed in equation (1), we factor out the coefficient of t² in p(t) so that

[tex]p(t) = -3t^2+18t-4 \\ \boxed{p(t) = -3 \left( t^2 - 6t + \frac{4}{3} \right)}[/tex]

Then, we let

[tex]q(t) = t^2 - 6t + \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

So that 

[tex]p(t) = -3q(t)[/tex]    (2)

We need q(t) to be expressed as the sum of a perfect square trinomial and a constant. To form the perfect square trinomial in q(t), we can find a constant k such that [tex]t^2 - 6t + k [/tex] is a perfect square.

To find the value of k, we divide the coefficient of t by 2 and get the square of the result. Since the coefficient of t in q(t) is -6, 

 [tex]k = \left( \frac{-6}{2} \right)^2 = 9[/tex]

To avoid changing the value of q(t), if we add the constant k = 9, we need to subtract it by the same number. Since k = 9,

[tex]q(t) = t^2 - 6t + \frac{4}{3} + k - k \\ = t^2 - 6t + \frac{4}{3} + 9 - 9 \\ = (t^2 - 6t + 9) + \frac{4}{3} - 9 \\ \boxed{q(t) = (t - 3)^2 - \frac{23}{3}} [/tex]

From equation (2),

[tex]p(t) = -3q(t) \\ p(t) = -3\left( (t - 3)^2 - \frac{23}{3} \right) \\ \boxed{p(t) = -3 (t - 3)^2 + 23}[/tex]

Hence the vertex of p(t) is (3, 23) and maximum value is attained at t = 3. Therefore, the Mr. Cash's business has maximum profit at the 3rd year of operation

A field project superintendent earns an annual salary of $72,800, and she contributes $7900 per year to her 401(k) plan. If she has a required deduction for income taxes (federal, state, and local combined) of 28% of pretax income, how much does she have withheld in income taxes per year?

Answers

Contributions to one's 401K plan are taken out without paying tax on them (they are pre-tax contributions). In the end, when you retire you will pay taxes on the money but it is deferred for now.

What this means in terms of the question is that we should deduct the $7,900 first and then take 28% of what is left for taxes.

This person's salary is $72,800 a year and they set aside $7,900 for their retirement account (401K) so that leaves $72800-$7900 = $64,900

She now pays taxes of 28% on this amount ($64,900). Percent means "out of 100" so 28% means [tex] \frac{28}{100}=.28 [/tex] and to find 28% of 64900 we multiply (64900)(.28) = $18172.

That is she has $18,172 withheld in taxes each year.


How many pieces of pie will you have if 4 banana caramel cream pies are sliced into 1 8 servings? A) 12 B) 18 C) 24 D) 32

Answers

Final answer:

When 4 banana caramel cream pies are sliced into 1/8 servings, the number of pieces of pie obtained is 32.

Explanation:

To determine the number of pieces of pie obtained when 4 banana caramel cream pies are sliced into 1/8 servings, we need to find the total number of pie servings. Each pie is sliced into 1/8 servings, so if we have 4 pies, we can calculate the total number of servings by multiplying 4 by 1/8.

4 x 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

Therefore, we will have 1/2 pie when 4 banana caramel cream pies are sliced into 1/8 servings. Since 1/2 pie is equivalent to 4/8 pie, the answer is D) 32 pieces.

Could someone explain this to me?

Answers

This is a simple differentiation problem. Let's start by taking the derivative of both sides (with respect to x):
[tex]5y^4\frac{dy}{dx}+6y^2x+6x^2y\frac{dy}{dx}+20x^3 = 0[/tex]

Simplify:
[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} (5y^4+6x^2y) + 6y^2x+20x^3 = 0[/tex]

Solve for dy/dx:
[tex] \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-6y^2x-20x^3}{5y^4+6x^2y} [/tex]

Now, plug in the given points:
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-6(2)^2(-1)-20(-1)^3}{5(2)^4+6(-1)^2(2)} = \frac{24+20}{80+12}[/tex]

Further simplification gives:
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}|_{(2,-1)} =\frac{44}{92} = \frac{11}{23} [/tex]

So, your answer is 11/23 or B.
