Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make a total profit of $78. Using the equation 8(x+2.75)=78, Rita determined that she needs to sell each necklace for $7 to make a total profit of $78. Which error did Rita make?

Answers

Answer 1
Rita's error is in the sign of 2.75 in her equation. If x is her selling price, Rita needs to find the value of x in
.. 8(x -2.75) = 78

That value will be
.. x = 2.75 +78/8 = 12.50
Answer 2

Answer:

Rita made a sign error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the selling price of each necklace.

We are told that the materials to make each necklace cost $2.75.

Since profit is the difference between selling price and cost.

[tex]\text{Profit}=\text{Selling price- Cost}[/tex]  

So profit of Rita from selling one necklace will be:

[tex]\text{Profit of Rita from 1 necklace}=x-2.75[/tex]

To find the profit of Rita from selling 8 necklace we will multiply 8 by profit of 1 necklace.

[tex]\text{Profit of Rita from 8 necklaces}=8(x-2.75)[/tex]

As Rita wants to make a total profit of $78 from selling 8 necklaces, so we will substitute 78 as profit of 8 necklaces.

[tex]78=8(x-2.75)[/tex]  

Upon comparing our equation with the given equation we can see that Rita made a sign error as she added the cost with the selling price instead of subtracting the cost from selling price.

Let us find the selling price.

[tex]78=8x-22[/tex]  

[tex]78+22=8x[/tex]

[tex]100=8x[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{100}{8}=x[/tex]

[tex]12.5=x[/tex]  

We can see that the selling price of each necklace will be 12.5, therefore, Rita made a sign error.

factor a^2b^2-7ab+10

Answers

Final Answer:

The factored form of  −7ab+10 is (ab−5)(ab−2).

Explanation:

To factor the expression −7ab+10, we look for two binomials whose product gives the original expression. In this case, the factors are

(ab−5)(ab−2).

Expanding

(ab−5)(ab−2) using the distributive property, we get:

(ab−5)(ab−2)=(ab)(ab)−(ab)(2)−(5)(ab)+(5)(2)

Simplifying each term, we get:

−2ab−5ab+10

Combining like terms, we have:

−7ab+10

Therefore, the factored form of  −7ab+10 is (ab−5)(ab−2).

A triangular pyramid has a slant height of 13 inches. The triangular base has a perimeter of 23 inches and an area of 15 square inches. Find the surface area
Please show the work so that I understand it. Also please hurry as I need the answer soon.

Answers

A triangular pyramid has a triangle as its base and three triangle faces. 
since we are asked to find the surface area of the triangular pyramid, we have to find the area of all three triangle faces and the base.

area of the base is given - 15 square inches
triangular face area - 1/2 x height x length 
height of the triangle face is slant height - 13 inches

lets name the triangle faces as a,b and c
lets name the sides of the base triangle as A, B and C respectively
these sides are the lengths of the triangular faces.
area of face a - 1/2 * 13 inches * A
                    b - 1/2 * 13 * B
                    c - 1/2 * 13 * C
total area of the faces - (1/2 *13 * A) + (1/2 *13 * B) + ( 1/2 *13 * C)
                                    = 1/2 * 13 (A+B+C)
A+ B+C = total perimeter of the base = 23 inches 

therefore total surface area = area of base + total area of triangle faces
                                            = 15 + (1/2 * 13 * 23)
                                            = 15 + 149.5
total area = 164.5 sq.inches

An investigation of the ability of a hybrid tomato plant to produce a certain protein found that the amount x of the protein produced in the plant had a mean of 109.9109.9 micrograms per gram of fresh weight with a standard deviation of 8.18.1. consider a random sample of n equals 60n=60 hybrid tomato plants and let x overbarx represent the sample mean amount of the protein produced. would it be expected to observe a value of x overbarx less than 107107 micrograms per gram of fresh​ weight? explain. consider an event with a probability less than 0.05 unlikely.

Answers

This is a Question of Statistics and an application of standard normal distribution.

Average amount(Mean) of protein produced by the plant = 109.9 
Standard Deviation = 8.1

Size of the sample = 60
Average amount of  protein for the sample is the same as that of population.So average amount of protein for the sample = 109.9
Standard Deviation of the sample = (Population Standard Deviation) divided by (square root of sample size)
So sample standard deviation = [tex] \frac{8.1}{ \sqrt{60} }=1.046 [/tex]

So, we are to find the probability of amount of protein being produced less than 107 for mean 109.9 and standard deviation 1.046.

First we convert this value to z score.

Z-score = [tex] \frac{107-109.9}{1.046}= -2.77[/tex]

Using z-table, converting this z score to probability we get:

Probability of mean being less than 107 = 0.0028

Since the probability of mean being less than 107 is less than 0.05. This event is highly unlikely.

The arithmetic sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, . . . represents the set of even natural numbers. What is the 100th even natural number? a100 =

Answers

You can use this rule to find any even natural number.  Multiply the position of the number by 2 to find the number.  In this example, you would take 100 times 2 to get 200.    I used the given pattern to figure this out.  2 x 2 = 4, 2 x 3 = 6, 2 x 4 = 8, 2 x 5 = 10, etc....

Answer:  The 100th even natural number is 200.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the following arithmetic sequence represents the set of natural numbers :

2,  4,  6,  8,  10,  .  .  ..

We are given to find the 100th even natural number, i.e., the 100-th term of the sequence.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is given by

[tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d.[/tex]

For the given sequence, we have

a = 2  and  d = 4 - 2 = 6 - 4 =  .  .  .  =2.

Therefore, the 100-th term of the sequence will be

[tex]a_{100}=a+(100-1)d=2+99\times2=2+198=200.[/tex]

Thus, the 100th even natural number is 200.

A massless beam supports two weights as shown. 685 n w l 4 l 4 l 2 l a b find w such that the supporting force at a is zero. answer in units of n.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the weight W such that the support force at A is zero, the principle of static equilibrium is used. By taking moments about point B and setting the sum of moments to zero, W is found to be 342.5 N.

Explanation:

The question requires the application of the principles of static equilibrium to find the unknown weight W that would set the supporting force at point A to zero. In static equilibrium, the sum of all forces and the sum of all torques (moments) about any point must be zero.

We can analyze the forces acting on the beam by taking moments about point B to find the value of W. Because the support at A is required to exert no force, we only consider the gravitational force due to the beam's weight and the weight applied at point B. By setting the sum of moments about B to zero, we can solve for W.

Using the conditions for static equilibrium:

Sum of vertical forces = 0

Sum of moments (torques) = 0

The moment leverage for the 685 N weight is at L/4, and for the unknown weight W, it is at L/2. Assuming the beam is massless the equation for the sum of moments around point B is:

(685 N) * (L/4) - (W) * (L/2) = 0

Solving for W:

W = (685 N) / 2

Thus, W is equal to 342.5 N.

Leia cuts congruent triangular patches with an area of 63 square centimeters from a rectangular piece of fabric that is 27 centimeters long and 21 centimeters wide. How many of the patches can Leia cut from 33 pieces of the fabric?

Answers

Leia can cut a total of 297 triangular patches from 33 pieces of fabric, with each piece yielding 9 patches.

To calculate how many triangular patches can Leia cut from 33 pieces of fabric, we first need to find out how many patches can be cut from a single piece of fabric. The area of each triangular patch is 63 square centimeters. The area of the fabric is length * width, which is 27 cm * 21 cm = 567 square centimeters.

Now, if we divide the area of the fabric by the area of one triangular patch, we get the number of patches per fabric piece: 567 cm2 / 63 cm2 = 9 patches per fabric piece.

Since Leia has 33 pieces of fabric, the total number of patches she can cut is 9 patches * 33 pieces = 297 patches.

What is the length of line segment XZ

Answers

8 units that Is the answer

The line segment XZ has a length of 16 units. Hence, the 3rd option is the correct choice. Computed using the tangent to the circle and the Pythagoras Theorem.

How is a tangent inclined to the circle?

A tangent to a circle is always perpendicular to it, that is, the radius drawn from the center of the circle to the tangent, is always perpendicular to it.

What is the Pythagoras Theorem?

According to the Pythagoras Theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse, that is, the side opposite to the right angle, is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs, that is, the other two sides.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked to find the length of the line segment XZ.

Firstly, we name the center of the circle O.

The diameter of the circle is given to be 12 units.

Thus, its radius = 12/2 = 6 units,

Joining the radius OW, we get a right triangle OWZ, as the radius from the center of the circle to the tangent is always perpendicular.

In the right triangle OWZ, by Pythagoras Theorem, we can write:

OZ² = OW² + WZ² {Since, OZ is the hypotenuse},

or, (k + 6)² = 6² + (k + 4)² {Since, OZ = OY + YZ = Radius + k = 6 + k, and OW = Radius = 6},

or, k² + 12k + 36 = 36 + k² + 8k + 16 {Using the formula (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²},

or, k² + 12k - k² - 8k = 36 + 16 - 36 {Rearranging},

or, 4k = 16 {Simplifying},

or, k = 4 {Simplifying}.

Now, XZ = XY + YZ = Diameter + k = 12 + 4 = 16 units.

Thus, line segment XZ has a length of 16 units. Hence, the 3rd option is the correct choice. Computed using the tangent to the circle and the Pythagoras Theorem.
