Josh wanted to buy a bike but didn't have enough money. Sam Slick said, "I can fix that. Each time you jump that fence, i'll triple your money. There's one small thing though. Each time I pay, you must give me $54 back for the priviledge of jumping." Josh agreed, jumped the fence, received his payment from sam slick, and paid sam $54. Repeating the routine 1 more time, josh was distressed to find that after sam had made his payment to josh, josh had only $54 with which to pay sam and so had nothing left. Sam, of course, went merrily on his way, leaving josh wishing that he had known a little more about mathematics.

Answers

Answer 1

We can see here that according to the agreement, each time Josh jumped the fence, his money would be tripled. Thus, Josh had to pay Sam $54 back for the privilege of jumping.

Josh jumped the fence for the first time. Sam Slick paid Josh the agreed-upon amount, which was triple the initial money Josh had. Then Josh paid Sam $54 back as per the agreement.

We see that Josh jumped the fence for the second time. Sam Slick paid Josh the agreed-upon amount, which was triple the money Josh had after paying Sam $54. After Josh received the payment, he had only $54 left, which was exactly the amount he needed to pay Sam.

Answers

A) Problem 3

Answer: third option 11.5

Explanation:

1) Since this is a right triangle you can use the trigonometric ratios.

2) sin (α) = opposite-leg / hypotenuse

3) α = 35°; opposite-lge = x; hypotenuse = 20.

4) substitute values

sin(35°) = x / 20

5) Solve for x

x = 20 * sin (35°) = 11.47

6) Round to the nearest tenth: 11.5

Answer: third option 11.5

B) Problem 4

Answer: first option 8.3

Explanation:

3) α = 41°; adjacent - leg = x; hypotenuse = 11

4) Substitute values

cos (41°) = x / 11

5) Solve for x: x = 11 * cos (41°) = 8.30

If a + 4b = 33 and 6a + 3b = 51, what is the value of a + b?

(I got 5 but it was wrong)

Answers

b = 7, a = 5. So a + b is 13.

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the problem asks for $a+b$, we look for a way to isolate $a+b$ from the given equations.

Notice that $a + 6a = 7a$ and $4b + 3b = 7b$. This gives us the key to isolating $a + b$. We simply add the two equations together:\begin{align*}

7a + 7b &= 84 \\

7(a + b) &= 84 \\

a + b &= \frac{84}{7} \\

a + b &= \boxed{12}

\end{align*}

jerry was playing a video game. it took him 10 lives to beat the 2nd world, 5 times as many as it took him to beat the 1st world. how many lives did he use to the 1st world?

Answers

2nd world = 10 lives
lst world = 5 x 10 = 50 lives

Final answer:

Jerry used 2 lives to beat the 1st world, determined by dividing the 10 lives used for the 2nd world by 5.

Explanation:

Jerry used 10 lives to beat the 2nd world and it took him 5 times as many lives as it did to beat the 1st world. To find out how many lives it took him to beat the 1st world, we need to divide the number of lives used for the 2nd world by 5.

Let x represent the number of lives Jerry used to beat the 1st world. The equation based on the given information is:

5 * x = 10

Now, we solve for x:

x = 10 / 5

x = 2 lives

Therefore, Jerry used 2 lives to beat the 1st world.

Answers

The difference in annual earnings is $6240 -6220 = $20. 20% of that is $4. There are 24 semi-months in a year, so the difference in amount deducted is about

The hardcover version of a book weighs 7 ounces while its paperback version weighs 5 ounces. Forty-five copies of the book weigh a total of 249 ounces. Which value could replace x in the table?

Answers

Solving the system of linear equations, we found that there are 12 hardcover books and 33 paperback books, making the value that could replace 'x' is 12.

The question involves solving a system of linear equations to find the number of hardcover and paperback versions of a book that together weigh 249 ounces. Since the hardcover version weighs 7 ounces and the paperback weighs 5 ounces, we can create two equations based on the given information. If we let x represent the number of hardcover books and y represent the number of paperback books, the equations would be:

x + y = 45 (since there are 45 copies in total)

7x + 5y = 249 (since the total weight is 249 ounces)

Solving this system, we can multiply the first equation by 5, which gives us 5x + 5y = 225, and subtract this from the second equation to find the value of x. This yields 2x = 24, so x = 12. Therefore, there are 12 hardcover books and the rest are paperbacks. To find the number of paperbacks, we substitute x back into the first equation and get 12 + y = 45, which means y = 33. Hence, the number that could replace x in the table is 12.

Which expressions are polynomials? Select each correct answer.

Answers

Each of these is a polynomial.

A polynomial is the sum or difference of one or more monomials.  A monomial is a variable, a constant, or the product of variables and constants.  Each of these is a monomial, so it is a polynomial as well.

These expressions satisfy the criteria for being polynomials based on their structure and components.

[tex]\( 20x^2y \)[/tex]

[tex]\( 20x^2 \)[/tex]

[tex]\( 20x^2 + y \)[/tex]

Let's analyze each expression:

1. [tex]20x^2y[/tex]

This expression can be rewritten as [tex]\( 20x^2y \).[/tex]

It consists of variables [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \)[/tex], coefficients ([tex]20[/tex]), and exponents ([tex]2[/tex] on [tex]\( x \))[/tex]

It involves multiplication and addition (implied by the terms).

Conclusion: This expression is a polynomial.

2. [tex]20x^2[/tex]

This expression can be rewritten as [tex]\( 20x^2 \)[/tex].

It consists of variable [tex]\( x \)[/tex], coefficient ([tex]20[/tex]), and exponent ([tex]2[/tex]).

It involves multiplication and addition (implied by the term).

Conclusion: This expression is a polynomial.

3. [tex]20x^2+ y[/tex]

This expression consists of two terms: [tex]\( 20x^2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \)[/tex]

[tex]\( 20x^2 \)[/tex] is a polynomial (as identified above).

[tex]\( y \)[/tex] is also a polynomial (since it can be seen as [tex]\( 1y^1 \)[/tex], where the coefficient is [tex]1[/tex] and the exponent is [tex]1[/tex]).

The expression involves addition and multiplication.

Conclusion: This expression is a polynomial.

4. [tex]20x^2+y^{12[/tex]

This expression is not standard notation and appears to be incorrectly formatted:

It lacks clear separation between terms.

It combines numeric digits directly without appropriate variables and exponents.

Conclusion: This expression is not a polynomial.

The line that is the best model for the data is the line that passes mostly through the centre of the data. Therefore, it is most likely the plot in the top right.
Answer:Graph B (according to the figure attached to the answer) best model the data in the scatter plot.Step-by-step explanation:We know that a line of best fit also known as a trend line is the line that best represent the data points.

i.e. the points are closely related to the line.

Also, the other properties of a trend line are--

The magnitude of the negative and positive residual values must be same.

( i.e. Not all point could lie above the line and not all points could lie below the line )

( In graph A most of the points lie below the line.

Hence, Graph A is not the correct answer.

In graph  most of the points lie above the line.

Hence, Graph C could not be the best model.

In graph D most of the points lie above the line and hence it could not be the best model)

whereas in Graph B there are equal number of points above and below the line.
