A submarine is only allowed to change its depth be Racing toward the surface in 60 meter stages. If the submarine starts off at 340 meters below sea level, what is its depth after 4 stages of rising to surface
Answer:
[tex]Depth = 100m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Initial Level = 340 m
Number of stages = 4
Difference in each stage = 60 m
Required
Determine the depth of the submarine after 4 stages
First, we have to calculate the total distance moved towards the surface of the sea;
This is calculated as
[tex]Total\ Distance = Number\ of\ Stages * Difference\ in\ each\ stage[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Distance = 4 * 60m[/tex]
[tex]Total\ Distance = 240m[/tex]
This implies that the submarine moved a total distance of 240 metres;
It;'s new depth is calculated as follows;
[tex]Depth = Initial\ Depth - Total\ Distance[/tex]
[tex]Depth = 340m - 240m[/tex]
[tex]Depth = 100m[/tex]
Hence, its new depth after 4 stages of rising is 100m

Step 3: Find solution set using substitution
1/3x + 5 = -1/3x + 7
2/3x + 5 = 7
2/3x = 2
x = 3
y = 1/3(3) + 5
y = 1 + 5
y = 6

The ratio of the measures of the acute angles of a right triangle is 8:1. In degrees, what is the measure of the largest angle of the triangle?
Answer:
80°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the measures of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90°. The sum of ratio measures in the ratio 8 : 1 is (8+1) = 9. Thus, each of those measures stands for 90°/9 = 10°. Then the angle ratio is ...
80° : 10° = 8 : 1
The measure of the largest acute angle in the triangle is ...
10° × 8 = 80°
The side length of each square is 6 units. Find the areas of the inscribed shapes.
Answer:
a) A₁ = 18 unit²
b) A₂ = 20 unit²
c) A₃ = 12 unit²
d) A₄ = 12 unit²
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Given that the side length of square is 6 units, we have;
The height of the square = The height of the triangle = 6 units
The base of the triangle = The side length of the square = 6 units
The area of a triangle A₁ = 1/2×base×height = 1/2×6×6 = 18 unit²
b) The side of the square A₂ forms an hypotenuse side to the side length 2 and 4 on sides of the circumscribing square
The length of the side = √(4^2 + 2^2) = 2·√5
A₂ = The area of a square =Side² = (2·√5)² = 20 unit²
c) The base length of the triangle, A₃ + 2 = The side length of the circumscribing square = 6 units
∴ The base length of the triangle, ₃₂ = 6 - 2 = 4 units
The height of the triangle, A₃ = The side length of the circumscribing square = 6 units
The area of a triangle A₃ = 1/2×base×height = 1/2×4×6 = 12 unit²
d) Figure, A₄, is a parallelogram;
The area of a parallelogram = Base × Height
The base of the parallelogram, A₄ + 4 = 6 units
Therefore, the base of the parallelogram, A₄ = 6 - 4 = 2 units
The height of the parallelogram = The side length of the circumscribing square = 6 units
The area of a parallelogram A₄ = 2× 6 = 12 unit².
What is the best first step to solve this equation 8x =25 ?
Hey there!
"8x = 25"
In order for you to solve for "x-value" (or the equation) we have to DIVIDE both of your sides by 8
8x/8 = 25/8
Cancel out: 8x/8 because that gives you the value of 1 and you don't need it at the moment (in that equation that is)
Keep: 25/8 Because it solves for your equation
Your x equals: 25/8 aka 1 1/8 aka 3.125 (you could choose any one of these as your answer because they are all correct)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Rachel used 2/3 of a string to tie some books together. She used 1/3 of the remaining string for his art project. She had 30cm of the string left. What was the orignal length of string. Express your ans in meter.
Answer:
1.35 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original length of the string be x.
So, we started out with x centimeters. Rachel used 2/3 of it (the original amount) to tie some books together. Therefore, we now have:
[tex]x-\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]
centimeters of string left. This represents the original minus the amount she used.
Next, she used 1/3 of the remaining string. In other words:
[tex]x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x)[/tex]
The newly added terms is 1/3 of the remaining string length.
And she ends up with 30 centimeters. Therefore, we need to solve the equation for x:
[tex]x-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}(x-\frac{2}{3} x) =30\\\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{2}{9}x=30\\\frac{2}{9}x=30\\ x=30\cdot \frac{9}{2}=135 \text{ centimeters}[/tex]
Therefore, the original length of the string was 135 centimeters or 1.35 meters (move the decimal two places to the left).
Answer:
135 cm or 1.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3(135) = 90
1/3(90) = 30

Cora is two years older than three times Eli's age. Their ages add up to 98. Find their ages
Answer: Eli’s age is 24 years and Cora’s age is 74 years
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Eli’s age and Cora’s age, use the following condition.
Eli’s age is represented by term ‘x’
Cora’s age is represented by term ‘3x + 2’
x + 3x + 2 = 98
Add x and 3x
4x + 2 = 98
Subtract 2 from both sides
4x = 96
Divide by 4 on both sides
x = 24
Therefore Eli’s age is 24 years
To find Cora’s age, plug in 24 for x
3(24) + 2 = 72 + 2 = 74
Answer:
Cora is 74 years old
Eli is 24 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Cora’s age = x
Eli’s age = y
x = 3y + 2
x + y = 98
x = 98 - y
98 - y = 3y + 2
98 - 2 = 3y + y
96 = 4y
24 = y
x + 24 = 98
x = 98 - 24
x = 74

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 1) and has a slope of 4/5, what is the equation of the line?
A 4y - 5x=5
B.y - 4x = 5
C. 5y + 4x = 5
D. 5y - 4x = 5
Answer:
The answer is option D.Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of the line using point (0, 1) and slope 4/5 is
[tex]y - 1 = \frac{4}{5} (x - 0) \\ \\ 5y - 5 = 4x \\ \\ 5y - 4x = 5[/tex]
Hope this helps you
Answer:
D. [tex]\boxed{5y-4x=5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = m = 4/5
y - intercept = b = 1 (As from the point (0,1) , y-intercept is when x = 0)
So, the equation becomes
=> [tex]y = mx+b[/tex]
=> [tex]y = \frac{4}{5} x +1[/tex]
=> [tex]y - \frac{4}{5} x = 1[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 5
=> [tex]5y-4x = 5[/tex]

Find the measure of angle A to the nearest degree.
a. 26
b. 27
c. 63
Explanation:
We'll use the tangent ratio to connect the opposite and adjacent sides with the reference angle
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(A) = 14/7
Then use the arctangent function (aka inverse tangent) to fully isolate A
A = arctan(14/7)
A = 63.4349 degrees approximately; make sure your calculator is in degree mode
Round this to the nearest whole number to get 63.

A line has slope 2/3 and y intercept -2. Which answer is the equation of the line?
Answer:
y=2/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the given options are in slope intercept form.
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
This is where m is the slope fo the line and b is the y intercept
That said, we can simply plug the given values into the form.
y=(2/3)x+(-2)
Simplify
y=2/3x-2
Answer:
A. y= 2/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is written in slope-intercept form, which is:
y= mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The line has a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -2. Therefore,
m= 2/3
b= -2
Substitute these values into the slope intercept form.
y= mx+b
y=2/3x+(-2)
Adding a negative number (+-) can be simplified to just a negative(-)
y= 2/3x-2
Therefore, the equation of the line is A. y= 2/3x-2
The diameter of a circle is 3.5 inches. What is the circumference of the circle?

Consider this system of equations. Which equation represents the first equation written in slope-intercept form? 5 x minus 2 y = 10. Y = one-fourth x + 1.
Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{5x}{2} - 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation 5x - 2y = 10, to write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to write it in the standard format y = mx+c where m is the slope/gradient and c is the intercept.
From the equation given 5x - 2y = 10, we will make y the subject of the formula as shown;
[tex]5x - 2y = 10\\\\subtract \ 5x \ from \ both \ sides\\\\5x - 2y - 5x = 10 - 5x\\\\-2y = 10-5x\\\\Dividing \ both \ sides\ by \ -2;\\\\\frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{10-5x}{-2}\\ \\[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{10}{-2} - \frac{5x}{-2} \\\\y = -5 + \frac{5x}{2}\\\\y = \frac{5x}{2} - 5[/tex]
Hence the equation that represents the first equation written in slope-intercept form is [tex]y = \frac{5x}{2} - 5[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]\frac{77\pi }{3}[/tex] cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as
V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]πr³ ( r is the radius )
Here diameter = 4 cm , hence r = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 cm
V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π × 2³ = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π × 8 = [tex]\frac{32\pi }{3}[/tex] cm³
Thus
combined volume = [tex]\frac{32\pi }{3}[/tex] + 15π = [tex]\frac{32\pi }{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{45\pi }{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{77\pi }{3}[/tex] cm³

Suppose 45% of the worlds population has type "O" blood type. A study was done to see if the percent differs for college students. 47% of the 1000 random selected college students have type O blood. conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the percent of college students with type o blood differs for college students?
Answer:
We accept H₀, with CI = 90 %, porcentage of O blood type in college students does not differ from the world population porcentage
Step-by-step explanation:
The test is a proportion two-tail test ( note: differs)
p₀ = 45 % or p₀ = 0,45
n = 1000
p = 47 % or p = 0,47
Test Hypothesis
Null hypothesis H₀ p = p₀
Alternative hypothesis Hₐ p ≠ p₀
CI we assume 90 % then α = 10 % α = 0,1 α/2 = 0,05
z score from z-table z(c) = 1,64
To calculate z(s) = ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/ n
z(s) = ( 0,47 - 0,45 )/ √( 0,45)*(0,55)/1000
z(s) = 0,02/√( 0,2475)/1000
z(s) = 0,02/0,01573
z(s) = 1,2714
Now we compare z(s) and z(c)
z(s) < z(c) 1,2714 < 1,64
Then z(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀

Translate into an algebraic expressions: A number increased by a % and decreased by 80% is 400. What is the number ?
Answer:
(x*(1+a))*0.8 = 400; x = 500/1+a
Step-by-step explanation:
First, increase the number (which we will call x) by a%
x*(1+a) -> You do 1 + a because if you wanted to increase let's say 5 by 20% you would do 5 + 5*0.2 and if you factor that out it becomes 5(1+0.2)
Next, decrease it by 80%.
(x*(1+a))*0.8
Finally, make it into an equation.
(x*(1+a))*0.8 = 400
If you solve it, you get:
x(1+a) = 500
x = 500/1+a

An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 flights from yesterday and finding that these 5 were on time.
a) What is population of interest?
b) What is the sample?
c) Was this a representative sample? Explain.
d) How should the company determine the percentage of their flights that are on time?
Answer with explanation:
Given: An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 flights from yesterday and finding that these 5 were on time.
a) population: A large group of observations have characteristics related to the point of the study.
Here, population: "All flights operated by the company"
b) Sample: It is a subset of the population.
Here, Sample: "5 flights from yesterday"
(c)
Since the number of flights per day operated by an airline company is much larger than 5 ( generally in hundreds).
i.e. the sample is too small to be able to assure that the results are true.
Hence, this is not a representative sample.
(d) To determine the percentage of their flights that are on time we use the following formula:
(Number of flights are on time) ÷ (Total flights) x 100
What is the equation of the circle shown below?
Answer:
( x+2)^2 + ( y+2) ^2 = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The center is at (-2,-2)
The radius is 3 which is the number of units from the center to the circles edge
The equation of a circle can be written as
( x-h) ^2 + (y-k) ^2 = r^2 where ( h,k) is the center and r is the radius
( x--2) ^2 + (y--2) ^2 = 3^2
( x+2)^2 + ( y+2) ^2 = 9
Can someone please explain how to get the answer i've looked it up several times and i'm still stuck. I'm in algebra 2 with trig and doing my summer math packet: "The length of a rectangle is two feet less than four times the width. Find the length and width if the area is 38.2 square feet. let w= width of the rectangle" Btw websites say w is 19.1 but my answer key says its 3.35. Thanks!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be the length of this rectangle
The length of a rectangle is 2 feet less than four times the width
● L+2 = 4w
The area of this rectangle is 38.2 ft^2
● L*w = 38.2
The system of equations is
L+2 = 4w => L-4w =2
L*w = 38.2 => L= 38.2/w
Replace L by 38.2/w in L-4w =2
● L-4w = 2
● (38.2/w)-4w = 2
●(38,2-4w^2)/w = 2
● 38.2-4w^2 = 2w
● 38.2-4w^2-2w = 0
● -4w^2-2w+38.2 =0
Multiply by -1 to reduce the - signs
● 4w^2+2w-38.2 =0
This is a quadratic equation so we will use the discriminant
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
The discriminant is b^2-4ac
● b= 2 (2w)
● a= 4 (4w^2)
● c= -38.2 (the constant term)
b^2-4ac =2^2-4*4*(-38.2) = 615.2 > 0
The discriminant is positive so we have two solutions w and w' :
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
w= (-2-24.8)/8 = -3.35
24.8 is the root square of 615.2(the discriminant)
●w is negative
● a distance is always positive so this value isn't a solution
w'= (-2+24.8)/8 =2.85 > 0
So this value is a solution for our equation

w= 2.85 feet
Answer:
w=3.35
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a rectangle is two feet less than four times the width:
length=4W-2
A=L*W
A=(4W-2)(W)
38.2=4W^2-2W
4W^2-2W-38.2=0 complete the square to find the solution add term(b/2)²
4W²-2W+1/4=38.2+1/4
4(W²-W/2+1/16)=38.45
4(w-1/4)^2=38.45
(w-1/4)²=38.45/4=9.6125
w-1/4=+ or -√9.6125 ( since it is width it has to be positive
w=√9.6125+1/4 = 3.35
