The base of an isosceles triangle is one half as long as each of the congruent sides. The perimeter is 55 in. How long is the base?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The base is 11 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

y -----> is the length of the base of the isosceles triangle

x ----> is the length of each of the congruent sides

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

[tex]P=y+x+x[/tex]

[tex]P=y+2x[/tex]

we have

[tex]P=55\ in[/tex]

so

[tex]55=y+2x[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]y=\frac{x}{2}[/tex] ----> equation B

solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]55=\frac{x}{2}+2x[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]55=\frac{5}{2}x[/tex]

[tex]x=55(2)/5\\x=22\ in[/tex]

Find the value of y

[tex]y=\frac{x}{2}[/tex] ----> [tex]y=\frac{22}{2}=11\ in[/tex]

therefore

The base is 11 inches long

Final Price:
Proportional Constant:

How to find the final price and the constant of proportionality in this problem?

Answers

Answer:

The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Original price = $ 16.20

The rate of increase = 40%

Let The final price = x

Now,

Final price after increase = initial price × ( 1 + [tex]\frac{\textrm Rate}{100}[/tex]

Or. Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1 + [tex]\frac{\textrm 40}{100}[/tex]

Or, Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1.4 )

Final price after increase = $ 22.68

Now , Proportional constant = [tex]\frac{22.68}{16.20}[/tex]

I.e Proportional constant = 1.4

Hence The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  Answer

A financial advisor tells you that you can make your child a millionaire if you just start saving early. You decide to put an equal amount each year into an investment account that earns 7.5% interest per year, starting on the day your child is born. How much would you need to invest each year (rounded to the nearest dollar) to accumulate a million for your child by the time he is 35 years old? (Your last deposit will be made on his 34th birthday.)​

Answers

Answer:

$12159 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invest $x each year at the simple interest of 7.5%, then the first $x will grow for 35 years, the second $x will grow for 34 years and so on.

So, the total amount that will grow after 35 years by investing $x at the start of each year at the rate of 7.5% simple interest will be given by

[tex]x( 1 + \frac{35 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{34 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{33 \times 7.5}{100}) + ......... + x( 1 + \frac{1 \times 7.5}{100})[/tex]

= [tex]35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [35 + 34 + 33 + ......... + 1][/tex]

= [tex]35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [\frac{1}{2} (35) (35 + 1)][/tex]

{Since sum of n natural numbers is given by [tex]\frac{1}{2} (n)(n + 1)[/tex]}

= 35x + 47.25x

= 82.25x

Now, given that the final amount will be i million dollars = $1000000

So, 82.25x = 1000000

x = $12,158. 05 ≈ $12159

Therefore. I have to invest $12159 per year. (Answer)

Pizza Rama sells large pizzas for $8.99 each with a delivery fee of $3 per order. Which equation can be used to find y, the total price of the order for x pizzas?

a. y = 11.99x
b. y = 3x + 8.99
c. y = 8.99x - 3
d. y = 8.99x + 3

Answers

Answer:

y=8.99+3

Step-by-step explanation:

we will make

x=how many large pizzas are sold

and a flat fee of $3 because they did delivery and do not pick it up them selves

so it would look like this

y=8.99x+3 to find the total cost

and it's not

y=8.99x-3 because they are not getting $3 dollars off their purchase!

The answer is D. y=8.99x+3

Leonard it sells small watermelons for seven dollars each and large watermelons for $10 each one day the number of small watermelons he saw was 15 more than the number of large watermelons and he made a total of $394 how many small and how many large watermelons a did he sell?

Answers

He sold 32 small watermelons and 17 large watermelons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Small watermelons = x

Large watermelons = y

Cost of one small watermelon = $7

Cost of one large watermelon = $10

According to given statement;

x = y+15   Eqn 1

7x+10y=394   Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

[tex]7(y+15)+10y=394\\7y+105+10y=394\\17y=394-105\\17y=289\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 17

[tex]\frac{17y}{17}=\frac{289}{17}\\y=17[/tex]

Putting y=17 in Eqn 1

[tex]x=17+15\\x=32[/tex]

He sold 32 small watermelons and 17 large watermelons.

What is the only prime number that is a factor of 16

Answers

Final answer:

The only prime number that is a factor of 16 is 2, since 16 is a power of 2 (2⁴).

Explanation:

The student has asked to identify the only prime number that is a factor of 16. To find the factors of 16, we can break it down into its prime factors. The prime factorization of 16 is 2×4×4, which reduces further to 2×2×2×2 or 24. Since the prime factors of 16 are all 2s, the only prime number that is a factor of 16 is 2. It's important to note that a prime number is defined as a number that has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and the number itself. In the case of 16, 2 is the only prime number that fits this definition and is a factor.

The median score on this test is:
Help

Answers

Final Answer:

The mean score on this test is 8.8, and the median score is 9.4.

Explanation:

In order to find the mean of the scores, we use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\sum (X \cdot f)}{N} \][/tex]

where X is the score, f is the frequency, and N is the total number of scores. Applying this formula to the given data:

[tex]\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{(4 \cdot 1) + (5 \cdot 1) + (6 \cdot 1) + (7 \cdot 2) + (8 \cdot 1) + (9 \cdot 5) + (10 \cdot 5)}{1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 5} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Mean} = \frac{4 + 5 + 6 + 14 + 8 + 45 + 50}{15} \][/tex]

Mean = [tex]\frac{132}{15}[/tex]

Mean = 8.8

So, the mean score is 8.8.

To find the median using the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Median} = L + \frac{\frac{N}{2} - F}{f} \times w \][/tex]

where:

- L is the lower class boundary of the median group,

- N is the total number of observations,

- F is the cumulative frequency of the group before the median group,

- f is the frequency of the median group,

- w is the width of the median group.

First, arrange the data and calculate cumulative frequencies:

Test Score  Frequency     Cumulative Frequency

3                    0                      0

4                      1                      1

5                      1                     2

6                       1                     3

7                       2                     5

8                       1                      6

9                       5                     11

10                     5                     16

The median position is [tex]\( \frac{N}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \)[/tex]  with a score of 9. The cumulative frequency before the median group is 6, and the frequency of the median group is 5.

Now, using the formula:

Median= 9 + [tex]\frac{8 - 6}{5} \times 1[/tex]

Median= 9 + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Median = 9 + 0.4

Median = 9.4

Therefore, the median score is 9.4.

Part 41) [tex]y=5x+6[/tex]

Part 42) [tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

Part 40) Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point

and is parallel to the given line

we have

Point (4,1)

Given line y=-2x+7

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

The given line is a equation of the line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

step 2

Find the y-intercept b

we have

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

[tex](4,1)[/tex]

substitute in the linear equation

[tex]1=(-2)4+b[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]b=1+8[/tex]

[tex]b=9[/tex]

step 3

Find equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line

we have

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

[tex]b=9[/tex]

substitute

The equation of the line is

[tex]y=-2x+9[/tex]

Part 41) Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point

and is parallel to the given line

we have

Point (0,6)

Given line y=5x-3

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

The given line is a equation of the line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=5[/tex]

step 2

Find the y-intercept b

[tex]b=6[/tex] ----> because the y-intercept is the point (0,6) (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

step 3

Find equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line

we have

[tex]m=5[/tex]

[tex]b=6[/tex]

substitute in the linear equation

[tex]y=5x+6[/tex]

Part 42) Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point

and is parallel to the given line

we have

Point (-5,-2)

Given line y=(2/3)x+1

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

The given line is a equation of the line in slope intercept form

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so

The slope of the given line is

[tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

step 2

Find the y-intercept b

we have

[tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex](-5,-2)[/tex]

substitute in the linear equation

[tex]-2=(\frac{2}{3})(-5)+b[/tex]

solve for b

[tex]-2=-\frac{10}{3}+b[/tex]

[tex]b=-2+\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

step 3

Find equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line

we have

[tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

substitute

The equation of the line is

[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Final answer:

To find the equation of a line that is parallel to a given line and passes through a specific point, use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope. Find the slope of the given line, substitute the slope and the point into the slope-intercept form of a line to find the y-intercept, and write the equation with the new slope and y-intercept.

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line that is parallel to a given line and passes through a specific point, we need to use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope. The given line, y = -2x + 7, has a slope of -2. So, the parallel line we need to find will also have a slope of -2.

Now, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since we know the slope is -2 and the point (4,1) lies on the line, we can substitute these values into the equation to find the y-intercept:

y = -2x + b

1 = -2(4) + b

1 = -8 + b

b = 9

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through (4,1) and is parallel to y = -2x + 7 is y = -2x + 9.

and drives due south at 62 mph. How far apart
are they after 3 hours?​

Answers

In this distance-time equation, both people are going in opposite directions. Because of this, we have to add the distances each traveled in order to find the distance between.

Both people have rates: Savannah is driving at 55 mph; Luke is driving at 62 mph.

Since the question states that they both drive for 3 hours, all we have to do is multiply both rates by 3.

55(3) + 62(3) = ?

Multiply:
165 + 186 = ?

Add:
165 + 186 = 351

After 3 hours, Savannah and Luke are 351 miles apart.
