The sum of a student's three score is 246. if the first is 14 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 more than twice the third, what was the first score?

Answers

Answer 1
Let the second score = x
⇒ second score = x

the first is 14 points more than the second
⇒ first score = x + 14

the sum of the first two is 6 more than twice the third
⇒ third score = 1/2 (x + x + 14 - 6) = x + 4

The sum of a student's three score is 246
⇒ x + (x + 14) + (x + 4) = 246

Solve x:
x + x + 14 + x + 4 = 246
3x + 18 = 246
3x = 228
x = 76

second score = x = 76
first score = x + 14 = 76 + 14 = 90

Answer: 90

A car is traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour. Each wheel of the car makes 770 revolutions per minute. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the diameter of each car wheel? (Note: 1 mile = 5,280 feet)

Answers

Answer: 21.8 inches

Given:

A car is traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour. Each wheel of the car makes 770 revolutions per minute.

To get the diameter of each car wheel

Get first the length of revolution (circumference of the wheel) in inches.

Speed=50 miles/hr

=50miles/60 minutes

= 0.833333 miles/minute

=.833/5280=4400ft= 52,800 inches/minute

Since there are 770 revolutions per minute, per revolution  (circumference of the wheel) =

=52,800/770

=68.57 inches

Formula of diameter given the circumference is:

D=C/π 

D=68.57/3.14

D= 21.8 inches 

Answer:

21.8

The angle of elevation to the top of a building in chicago is found to be 11◦ from the ground at a distance of 1000 feet from the base of the building. find the height of the building.

Answers

The height is 1943.8 feet. easiest way to do this is draw a little diagram. Draw the building and the unknown height can be "x". We know a 1000 feet away from the base of the building, the angle between the ground and top of the building is 11 degrees. If you draw this, you can see that you can use the tan function to find the missing "x". tan (angle) = opposite side/adjacent side. So tan(11) = x/1000. Isolate for x and you get 1943.8 feet

Answer:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - 6 = 4/3(x + 4), which is answer B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the point-slope form of any equation, start with the base form of the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now input the slope given as m, and the point in for x1 and y1.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = 4/3(x - -4)

y - 6 = 4/3(x + 4)

Before simplifying, how many terms are there in the expression -2x + 8 - 6y + 8x + 11?

Answers

Final answer:

The expression contains five terms before simplifying. We simplify by combining like terms to get a simplified result of 6x - 6y + 19 and then confirm the simplification by checking if the answer is reasonable.

Explanation:

The student has asked how many terms are in the expression -2x + 8 - 6y + 8x + 11 before simplifying. A term is a single mathematical expression that may consist of constants and/or variables, sometimes multiplied together but not added or subtracted to another term. In the given expression, there are a total of five terms: -2x, +8, -6y, +8x, and +11.

To simplify the algebra, we can combine like terms. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables to the same power. Here, -2x and +8x are like terms. When we combine them, we get 6x. The constants +8 and +11 are also like terms and can be added together to get +19. So, the simplified expression is 6x - 6y + 19.

Finally, we check our answer to ensure it is reasonable. Combining like terms -2x and +8x should result in +6x, and adding constants +8 and +11 should give us +19, which is our simplified result, confirming the reasonableness of our simplification.

A catapult is malfunctioning and not throwing objects in the intended manner. The builders have modeled the path of the objects thrown by using the following parametric equations. rewrite the parametric equations by eliminating the parameter.
x(t)=2t-1
y(t)= square root of t; t> or equal to 0

Answers

Answer:

The equation is [tex]y ^ 2 = \frac{x + 1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameter that we have is t. We want to eliminate this parameter in both equations, therefore in the first equation we solve for t and in the second equation we solve for the variable t.

We have:

[tex]x = 2t-1\\\\x + 1 = 2t\\\\t = \frac{x + 1}{2}[/tex]

Now we solve the other equation for t.

[tex]y= \sqrt{t}[/tex]

[tex]y ^ 2 = t[/tex]     because   [tex]t> 0[/tex]

As [tex]t = y ^ 2[/tex] and also [tex]t = \frac{x + 1}{2}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]y ^ 2 = \frac{x + 1}{2}[/tex]

The correct answer is:

When he was 40 Keefer began investing $150 per month in various securities for his retirement savings. His investments averaged a 4.5% annual rate of return until he retired at age 70. What was the value of Keefer's retirement savings when he retired? Assume monthly compounding of interest.

Answers

At retirement, Keefer will have saved for 30 (that is, 70-40) years.
Monthly saving, P = $150, Annual rate of return, R = 4.5% = 0.045.

Therefore, future value (FV) at the time of retirement will be;

FV = P*[1+(R/12)^12*30]/(R/12)
Substituting all the parameters;
FV = 150*[1+(1+0.045/12)^360]/(0.045/12) = $113.907.92

Final answer:

None of the provided options (20 + 21, 60 - 30, 20 + 11, 60 - 61) are equal to the sum of 50 + 21, which is 71. Each option computes to a different number, all of which are not equal to 71.

Explanation:

The question asks which of the given options is equal to the sum of 50 + 21. To solve this, we can compute each of the options to see which one equals 71, since 50 + 21 equals 71. Let's calculate:

20 + 21 = 41, which is not equal to 71.60 - 30 = 30, which is also not equal to 71.20 + 11 = 31, again not equal to 71.60 - 61 equals -1, which is not equal to 71.

None of the provided options are equal to the sum of 50 + 21. The correct answer should be a number that when calculated results in 71, but none of these options do.

write an equation of an ellipse in standard form with the center at the origin and a height of 3 units and width of 1 unit

Answers

Final answer:

The equation of an ellipse with the specified attributes, using the center as the origin, is x2/0.25 + y2/2.25 = 1.

Explanation:

The question asks for the equation of an ellipse with the center at the origin and a height of 3 units and width of 1 unit. In an ellipse, the center is the midpoint of both the major and minor axes. The major axis can be the horizontal (width) or vertical (height) axis, and the minor axis is the other one.

Given that the height of the ellipse is 3 units, this determines the major axis and its length of 2a=3, which means a=1.5. The width of the ellipse is 1 unit, this determines the minor axis and its length of 2b=1, which means b=0.5.

Using these values, the equation of such an ellipse, centered at the origin, in standard form is x2/0.25 + y2/2.25 = 1

A shell fits into a golden rectangle with a length of 8 in. What is the shell's width? write your answer is simplified radical form and rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Select one:
a. About 4.9 inches
b. About 4.1 inches
c. About 5.3 inches

Answers

For this case we have the following relationship:
 l / w = (1 + root (5)) / 2
 Where,
 l: length of the rectangle
 w: width of the rectangle
 Clearing the width we have:
 w = (2 / (1 + root (5))) * (l)
 Substituting values:
 w = (2 / (1 + root (5))) * (8)
 Rewriting:
 w = 4.94427191 inches
 Rounding off we have:
 w = 4.9 inches
 Answer:
 
the shell's width is:
 
w = 4.9 inches
 
a. About 4.9 inches

The correct answer is option(a) about 4.9 inches.

To find the width of a golden rectangle with a given length,  we will use the golden ratio formula  that is

l / w = (1 + √5) / 2

Where, l = length of rectangle &  w = width of rectangle

By applying the above formula we get  the golden ratio, which is ≈ 1.618.

The formula for a golden rectangle is length(l) = 1.618 × width.

Given that length is 8 inches, we set up the equation:

8 = 1.618 × width

Solving for width:

width = 8 / 1.618 = 4.948...

The simplified radical form of 4.948... is ≈ 4.9 inches.

Thus, the correct answer is about 4.9 inches or option (a).

how do I solve (x-5)(x-1)=0

Answers

With this equation, you'd distribute one set of parenthesis into the other. Doing so you'd get "X^2 - 1x - 5x + 5 = 0". Simplified, you'd have "X^2 - 6x + 5 = 0"

Next, you'd find the factors of 5, that when multiplied equal 5, and when added, equal -6. Being that 5 is a prime number (a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself) those numbers are 1 and 5. Both numbers have to be negative, in order to get -6.

-1*-5 = 5
-1 + -5 = -6

Finally you split up the X^2 to a single x with each of the factors and make it equal to zero (X - 1 = 0) and (X - 5 = 0). Then you solve each.

(X - 1 = 0) Add 1 to each side. X = 1
(X - 5 = 0) Add 5 to each side. X = 5
