Answers

To solve this we are going to use the future value of annuity due formula: [tex]FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ][/tex]
where
[tex]FV[/tex] is the future value
[tex]P[/tex] is the periodic deposit 
[tex]r[/tex] is the interest rate in decimal form 
[tex]n[/tex] is the number of times the interest is compounded per year
[tex]k[/tex] is the number of deposits per year

We know for our problem that [tex]P=420[/tex] and [tex]t=15[/tex]. To convert the interest rate to decimal form, we are going to divide the rate by 100%: [tex]r= \frac{10}{100} =0.1[/tex]. Since Ruben makes the deposits every 6 months, [tex]k=2[/tex]. The interest is compounded semiannually, so 2 times per year; therefore, [tex]k=2[/tex].
Lets replace the values in our formula:

[tex]FV=(1+ \frac{r}{n} )*P[ \frac{(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{kt}-1 }{ \frac{r}{n} } ][/tex]
[tex]FV=(1+ \frac{0.1}{2} )*420[ \frac{(1+ \frac{0.1}{2})^{(2)(15)}-1 }{ \frac{01}{2} } ][/tex]
[tex]FV=29299.53[/tex]

Which equation could have been used to create this function table? 1 2,3 6,4 8,5 10, 10 20 A. y = 5x B. y = x + 1 C. y = x + 2 D. y = 2x

Answers

Answer would be D y = 2x

The correct equation used to create the function table provided is Option D: y = 2x, which indicates a linear relationship where y is twice the value of x.

The function table given in the question indicates the relationship between values of x and their corresponding y values. To determine which equation was used to create this table, you can compare the differences between these values. In the given pairs (1, 2), (3, 6), (4, 8), (5, 10), and (10, 20), it is observed that the y values are exactly twice the x values. Therefore, the equation representing this relationship must be y = 2x, which is a linear function with a slope of 2.

Looking at the options provided, Option D: y = 2x is the correct one, as it fits the pattern shown in the function table: for every unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units, implying a line with a slope of 2.

in 2000, Jonesville had a population of 15,000. in 2001, the population was 16250 and in 2002, the population was 17,500. if the population grew at the same constant rate each year, which model describes the population growth for n years after 2000?

Answers

Population (p) = 1,250n + 15,000

In year 2000, the population was 15,000.

In year 2001, the population was 16,250.

In year 2002, the population was 17,500.

The population growth from year 2000 to year 2001 was (16,250-15,000) = 1,250.

The population growth from year 2001 to year 2002 was (17,500-16,250) = 1,250.

So the slope of the line would be m = 1250.

And y-intercept would be the initial population i.e. b = 15,000.

So the equation of line is y = 1250x + 15000.

Hence, n years after 2000, the population would be P = 1250n + 15000.

[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} ) = 35x\sqrt{y}[/tex]


EXPLANATION

The given expression is
[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} )[/tex]


We need to simplify the above expression first before, we add them.


Let us deal with the expressions within the parenthesis first,

[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} ) = 4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}}\times \sqrt{y} ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } \times \sqrt{y} )[/tex]


This will simplify to,

[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} ) = 4(5 x\times \sqrt{y} ) + 3(5 x \times \sqrt{y} )[/tex]


We now multiply out the brackets to obtain,

[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} ) = 20 x\times \sqrt{y} + 15 x \times \sqrt{y} )[/tex]


This implies that,

[tex]4(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2}y } ) + 3(5 \sqrt{ {x}^{2} y} ) = 20 x\sqrt{y} + 15 x \sqrt{y} )[/tex]


This will give us,

Two sides of a parallelogram measure 60 centimeters and 40 centimeters. If one angle of the parallelogram measures 132 degrees, find the length of each diagonal.

Answers

Final answer:

The lengths of the diagonals in the parallelogram can be calculated using the properties of vectors and the law of cosines with the given side lengths and angle.

Explanation:

To find the length of each diagonal in a parallelogram with sides measuring 60 centimeters and 40 centimeters and one angle of 132 degrees, we can leverage the properties of vectors and the law of cosines. It is known that one diagonal is the vector sum of the sides, while the other diagonal is the vector difference of the sides.

First, let's compute the length of the shorter diagonal, which is the vector sum of the two sides:

Shorter diagonal (Ñ) = A + B

Using the law of cosines for finding the length of a diagonal, we get:

Ѳ = 60² + 40² - 2 * 60 * 40 * cos(132°)

After computing this, we find the length of the shorter diagonal.

Next, we calculate the length of the longer diagonal, which is found by subtracting the vectors of the two sides:

Longer diagonal (D) = A - B

Again using the law of cosines:

D² = 60² + 40² - 2 * 60 * 40 * cos(48°)

After computation, we find the length of the longer diagonal.

Through these calculations using the provided formulae and the law of cosines, both diagonals' lengths can be established.

If it takes 2 nurses 2 minutes to measure the blood pressure of 2 patients, how long would it take 200 nurses to measure the blood pressure of 200 patients (in minutes)?

Answers

200 minutes because the 2 nurses take 2 minutes for the 2 patients. So it would make sense for 200 nurses to take 200 minutes for 200 patients. 

Answer:

it will take 2 minutes for 200 nurses to measure the blood pressure of 200 patients .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the work-time and number of labor and efficiency formula is given by:

[tex]Efficiency=\dfrac{Number\ of\ labor\times Time}{Work\ done}[/tex]formula is given by:

Here Number of labor=Number of nurses.

Work=Number of patients whose blood pressure were noted.

As the efficiency will be same this means that:

[tex]\dfrac{2\times 2}{2}=\dfrac{200\times x}{200}[/tex]

where x denotes the number of time taken by 200 nurses.

Hence,

[tex]x=2[/tex]

the weight of an object on mars varies directly with its weight on earth. an object that weighs 50 pounds on mars weighs 150 pounds on earth. if an object weighs 120 pounds on earth, write and solve a direct variation equation to find how much an object would weigh on mars.

Answers

Weight on mars is directly proportional to weight on earth... Therefore,

Wm α We => Wm = kWe, Where Wm = Weight on mars, We = Weight on earth, k = constant of proportionality.

For Wm = 50 pounds, We = 150 pounds;

k = Wm/We = 50/150 = 1/3
Now, for 120 pounds on earth;

Wm = k*We
Substituting;
Wm = 1/3 * 120 = 40 pounds
Final answer:

To find the weight of an object on Mars, we can use a direct variation equation. By finding the constant ratio from the given values, we can then solve for the weight on Mars when the weight on Earth is known. In this case, the object would weigh 40 pounds on Mars if it weighs 120 pounds on Earth.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will use the concept of direct variation. The weight of an object on Mars varies directly with its weight on Earth. This means that the weight on Mars can be found by multiplying the weight on Earth by a constant ratio. Let's represent the weight on Mars as WM and the weight on Earth as WE. According to the problem, an object that weighs 50 pounds on Mars weighs 150 pounds on Earth. This gives us the following direct variation equation:

WM = k * WE

where k is the constant ratio.

We can now substitute the given values: 50 pounds for WM and 150 pounds for WE.

50 = k * 150

To solve for k, divide both sides of the equation by 150:

k = 50 / 150

k = 1 / 3

Now that we have the value of the constant ratio, we can find the weight of an object on Mars when it weighs 120 pounds on Earth. Let's represent the weight on Mars as x and the weight on Earth as 120:

x = (1 / 3) * 120

x = 40

Therefore, the object would weigh 40 pounds on Mars.

1. the time that it will take them to complete the journey , convert to hours & minutes .
2. the amount that they will spend on petrol if the petrol costs is R7.25 per litre ?

Answers

a]  the time that it will take them to complete the journey , convert to hours & minutes .
Time=(distance)/(speed)
distance=551
speed=75 km/h
thus
time=551/75=7 26/75 hours
=7 hours (26/75×60) min
=7 hours 21 min

2] the amount that they will spend on petrol if the petrol costs is R7.25 per litre ?
Total amount spent on petrol will be as follows:
Cost of petrol R7.25 per Km
Consumption=12 liters per 100 km
thus amount of liters used:
12/100×551
=66.12 liters
thus total cost of petrol used:
66.12×7.25
=R479.37

Which equation can be solved by using this system of equations?

Answers

If you observe the two given equations, the left hand side of both equation is the same and is equal to y.

Since the left hand side of two equations is the same, we can conclude that the right hand side of two equations must also be the same. 

So, setting them right hand sides of both equations equal to each other and solving for x, we can find the solution to the simultaneous equations.

___________

Final answer:

The factors of the number 211 are only 1 and 211 itself, indicating that it is a prime number. Thus, the correct answer is option a (1 and 211).

Explanation:

To find all the factors of 211, you need to determine all whole numbers that can divide 211 without leaving a remainder. Starting with the smallest factor, which is always 1, and ending with the number itself, because any number is divisible by itself, we iterate through the numbers between 1 and 211 to check if they are factors.

Through inspection or a process of trial and error, we find that there are no numbers other than 1 and 211 that can divide 211 evenly, indicating that 211 is a prime number. Therefore, the correct answer to the question 'Find all the factors of 211.' is option a. 1 and 211 are the only factors of 211

Volume = 2,645,000 cubic meters




The base area of the pyramid is 52900 m².

The volume of the pyramid is 2645000 m³.

Volume of a square based pyramidv =  1 / 3 B h

where

B = base area

h = height

Therefore,

Base area = 230 × 230

Base area = 52900 m²

h = 150m

B = 52900 m²

Therefore,

V = 1 / 3 × 52900 × 150

V = 7935000 / 3

V = 2645000 m³

Past experience indicates that the time re- quired for high school seniors to complete a standard- ized test is a normal random variable with a standard deviation of 6 minutes. test the hypothesis that σ = 6 against the alternative that σ < 6 if a random sample of the test times of 20 high school seniors has a standard deviation s = 4.51. use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

At 0.05 level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis that [tex]\sigma[/tex] < 6.

To test the hypothesis that the standard deviation ([tex]\sigma = 6[/tex] ) against the alternative that ( [tex]\sigma = 6[/tex] ), we can use a chi-square test.

The test statistic for a chi-square test is given by ( [tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(n-1)s2}{\sigma2}[/tex]), where:

The sample size = [tex]n[/tex]

The sample standard deviation = [tex]s[/tex]

The hypothesized standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex]

The sample size, n = 20

The sample standard deviation, s = 4.51

The hypothesized standard deviation, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 6

Substituting these values into the formula:

[tex][ \chi^2 = \frac{(20-1)(4.51)2}{62} \approx 14.13 ][/tex]

The degrees of freedom for the test is ( n - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 ).

The test statistic for our chi-square test is ([tex][ \chi^2 = \frac{(20-1)(4.51)2}{62} \approx 14.13 ][/tex] ).

The critical value for a chi-square distribution with 19 degrees of freedom at the 0.05 level of significance is approximately 30.14.

Since our test statistic ([tex]\chi^2 = 14.13[/tex] ) is less than the critical value (30.14), we reject the null hypothesis that [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 6  at the 0.05 level of significance.

Thus, we have sufficient evidence to support the alternative hypothesis that [tex]\sigma[/tex] < 6, suggesting that the standard deviation of the time required for high school seniors to complete the standardized test is less than 6 minutes.
