HELP ASAP!!! Alex bought a notebook containing 96 pages, and numbered them from 1 through 192. Bob tore out 25 pages of Alex’s notebook, and added the 50 numbers he found on the pages. Could Bob have gotten 2012 as the sum? Show your logic steps on how you draw your conclusion.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: No it is not possible

=====================================================

Explanation:

Page 1 is labeled with 1 and 2, which sum to 1+2 = 3

Page 2 is labeled with 3 and 4 which sum to 3+4 = 7

Page 3 is labeled with 5 and 6 which sum to 5+6 = 11

and so on until we reach

Page 96 is labeled with 191 and 192, which sum to 191+192 = 383

Note how each page has an odd page number label and an even number label (odd on the front side; even on the back side). Adding any odd number to an even number will result in an odd number. We can prove it as such

x = some odd number = 2m+1, m is any integer

y = some even number = 2n, n is an integer

x+y = 2m+1+2n = 2(m+n)+1 = some other odd integer because it is in the form 2p+1 with p = m+n as an integer

This explains why the results 3,7,11,..,383 are all odd.

------------------------

So we effectively have this set of values {3,7,11,...,383}. This is an arithmetic sequence with 3 as the first term and 4 as the common difference.

If we add two odd numbers together, we get an even number (proof is similar to one shown above)

odd + odd = even

But if we add in another odd number, then we'll go back to an odd result

odd + odd + odd = odd

If we have an odd number of odd numbers added up, then the result will be odd. In this case, we're adding 25 values from the set {3,7,11,...,383}. The value 25 is odd, so we have an odd number of values from  {3,7,11,...,383} being added up. Therefore, the result Bob will get will always be odd. There is no way to get a sum of 2012 because this value is even.

in a group of people for every 20 people 7 of them have blue eyes a) write the ratio of the number of people with blue eyes to the total of people in fraction form b) if there are 100 total people how many how many of them have blue eye? explain how u found your answer

Answers

Answer:

a) 7 : 20

b)There will be 35 people with blue eye

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

This question is asking you the ratio of the number of people with blue eyes to the total number of people.

So seven people with blue eyes to the total number of 20 people.

7 : 20

b)

you got the ratio 7 : 20, this also means that there will be 7 people with blue eyes in every 20 people.

so you use 100 divides by 20, you will get the number five, this means there are 5 groups of 20 in 100 people.

so then you use 5 times 7, then you got the number 35.

That means, there are 35 people with blue eyes in 100 people.

Which expression is equivalent to *picture attached*

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

[tex]4 \left (\dfrac{50 (50+1) (2\times 50+1)}{6} \right ) +3 \left (\dfrac{50(51) }{2} \right )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is presented as follows;

[tex]\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}n\times \left (4\cdot n + 3 \right )[/tex]

Which can be expanded into the following form;

[tex]\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left (4\cdot n^2 + 3 \cdot n\right ) = 4 \times \sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left n^2 + 3 \times\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} n[/tex]

From which we have;

[tex]\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{n} \left k^2 = \dfrac{n \times (n+1) \times(2n+1)}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{n} \left k = \dfrac{n \times (n+1) }{2}[/tex]

Therefore, substituting the value of n = 50 we have;

[tex]\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left k^2 = \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2\cdot 50+1)}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\sum\limits _{k = 1}^{50} \left k = \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) }{2}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]4 \times \sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} \left n^2 = 4 \times \dfrac{n \times (n+1) \times(2n+1)}{6} = 4 \times \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2 \times 50+1)}{6}[/tex]

[tex]3 \times\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50} n = 3 \times \dfrac{n \times (n+1) }{2} = 3 \times \dfrac{50 \times (51) }{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sum\limits _{n = 1}^{50}n\times \left (4\cdot n + 3 \right ) = 4 \times \dfrac{50 \times (50+1) \times(2\times 50+1)}{6} +3 \times \dfrac{50 \times (51) }{2}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

[tex]4 \left (\dfrac{50 (50+1) (2\times 50+1)}{6} \right ) +3 \left (\dfrac{50(51) }{2} \right )[/tex].

Find $y$ if the point $(-6,y)$ is on the line that passes through $(-1,7)$ and $(3,-2)$.

Answers

Answer:

  y = 18.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2-point form of the equation of a line can be used to write the equation of the line through the given points.

  y = (-2 -7)/(3 -(-1))(x -(-1)) +7

  y = -9/4(x +1) +7

For x = -6 this evaluates to ...

Jeremy is taking a photography class, but he doesn't own a camera. The class organizers will rent him a camera for $6 per day. Jeremy can spend up to $50 for the class, but he has to pay $15 to register for the class as well as rent the camera. The number of days, d, that Jeremy can rent the camera is represented by the inequality 6d + 15 < 50. Select the number of days Jeremy can rent the camera with the money he has. A. 5 B. 6 C. 8 D. 9 E. 10

Answers

Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

6d+15<50

subtract 15 from both sides

6d<50-15

6d<35

divide both sides by 6

d<35/6

d<5 5/6

So he can only rent it for 5 days.  If he rented for 6, it would be $51, which is too much.

Solving the given inequality for d, we get...

6d + 15 < 50

6d + 15-15 < 50-15 <<-- subtract 15 from both sides

6d < 35

6d/6 < 35/6 <<--- divide both sides by 6

d < 5.83

Which means that d can be any of the values in this set: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

The smallest d can be is 0. In this scenario, Jeremy pays the $15 registration but doesn't rent the camera at all

The largest d can be is 5. In this scenario, Jeremy rents the camera for 5 days

Any larger value of d is not allowed as it would make the total cost go over $50

Notice how I'm rounding down regardless how close 5.83 is to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of a rectangular garden, the inner rectangle, is 9ft more than its width. For the garden. Let x = width, x + 9 = length. It is surrounded by a brick walkway 4ft wide. Suppose the total area of the walkway is 400ft^2.

a. Write a polynomial to represent the length of PQ

b. What are the dimensions of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]PQ = x + 13[/tex]

The dimension of the garden is 52.5ft by 43.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The shape above

Required

Determine PQ

Determine dimension of the garden

Calculating Length PQ

Represent the length of the inner rectangle as L

Represent the width of the inner rectangle as W

[tex]W = x[/tex]

[tex]L = x + 9[/tex]

The distance between the inner rectangle and the outer triangle is 4ft

This implies that;

[tex]PQ = L + 4[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x + 9[/tex] for [tex]L[/tex]

[tex]PQ = x + 9 + 4[/tex]

[tex]PQ = x + 13[/tex]

Also;

[tex]QR = W + 4[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x[/tex] for [tex]W[/tex]

[tex]QR = x + 4[/tex]

Calculating The Dimension of The Garden

First, we need to determine the Area of the inner rectangle

[tex]Area_1 = L * W[/tex]

Recall that  [tex]W = x[/tex] and [tex]L = x + 9[/tex]

So;

[tex]Area_1 = x * (x + 9)[/tex]

For the bigger rectangle

[tex]Area_2 = PQ * QR[/tex]

Recall that  [tex]PQ = x + 13[/tex] and [tex]QR = x + 4[/tex]

So;

[tex]Area_2 = (x + 13)(x + 4)[/tex]

Given that the Area of the walkway is [tex]400ft^2[/tex]

This implies that

[tex]Area_2 = Area_1 + 400[/tex]

Substitute [tex]Area_1 = x * (x + 9)[/tex] and [tex]Area_2 = (x + 13)(x + 4)[/tex]

[tex](x + 13)(x + 4) = x * (x + 9) + 400[/tex]

Open All Brackets

[tex]x^2 + 13x + 4x + 52 = x^2 + 9x + 400[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 17x + 52 = x^2 + 9x + 400[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]x^2 - x^2 + 17x - 9x = 400- 52[/tex]

[tex]8x = 348[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex]\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{348}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{348}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x =43.5[/tex]

Since the dimensions of the garden is [tex]W = x[/tex] and [tex]L = x + 9[/tex]

Substitute 43.5 for x in both cases

[tex]L = 43.5 + 9 = 52.5[/tex]

[tex]W = 43.5[/tex]

Hence, the dimension of the garden is 52.5ft by 43.5ft

Graph the image of this triangle after a dilation with a scale factor of 2 centered at the origin.

Answers

Answer: Triangle with the three corner points at (0, 0)(4, -8)(-8, -8)

==================================================

Explanation:

Let's label the corner points of the triangle A,B,C starting at the origin and moving clockwise

A = (0,0)

B = (2,-4)

C = (-4,-4)

Dilating with a scale factor 2 means we multiply each coordinate of each point by the value 2

A = (0,0) becomes A' = (0,0). No change happens. This point is fixed

B = (2,-4) becomes B' = (4,-8). This point does move

C = (-4,-4) becomes C' = (-8,-8). This moves as well

So all you need to do from here is draw triangle A'B'C'.

-----------------

Side note: the lengths of triangle A'B'C' are twice as long as their counterparts on triangle ABC. Consequently, this means the perimeter of A'B'C' is twice as long as the perimeter of ABC. Also, triangle A'B'C's area is four times larger than the area of triangle ABC.

On a coordinate plane, square S has points (0, 0), (5, 0), (5, negative 5), (0, negative 5). Square S prime has points (0, 1), (0, 3), (2, 3), (2, 1). a dilation by a scale factor of Two-fifths and then a translation of 3 units up a dilation by a scale factor of Two-fifths and then a reflection across the x-axis a dilation by a scale factor of Five-halves and then a translation of 3 units up a dilation by a scale factor of Five-halves and then a reflection across the x-axis

Answers

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of square S are (0,0), (5,0), (5,-5) and (0,-5).

The vertices of square S' are (0,1), (0,3), (2,3) and (2,1).

It is given that center of dilation is (0,0). From the point it is clear that the distance between point of S and origin is greater that S'. It means the scale factor is less than 1.

If scale factor is 2/5, then

[tex](x,y)\to (\dfrac{2}{5}x,\dfrac{2}{5}y)[/tex]

[tex](0,0)\to (\dfrac{2}{5}(0),\dfrac{2}{5}(0))=(0,0)[/tex]

[tex](5,0)\to (\dfrac{2}{5}(5),\dfrac{2}{5}(0))=(2,0)[/tex]

[tex](5,-5)\to (\dfrac{2}{5}(5),\dfrac{2}{5}(-5))=(2,-2)[/tex]

[tex](0,-5)\to (\dfrac{2}{5}(0),\dfrac{2}{5}(-5))=(0,-2)[/tex]

If the figure translated 3 units up, then

[tex](x,y)\to (x,y+3)[/tex]

[tex](0,0)\to (0,0+3)=(0,3)[/tex]

[tex](2,0)\to (2,0+3)=(2,3)[/tex]

[tex](2,-2)\to (2,-2+3)=(2,1)[/tex]

[tex](0,-2)\to (0,-2+3)=(0,1)[/tex]

These are the vertices of square S'.

A dilation by a scale factor of two-fifths and then a translation of 3 units up are used to get square S' from S.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

The answer is given below

Given that the parallelogram ABCD has m∠A = 79°

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines. For a parallelogram, opposite sides of a parallelogram is equal and opposite angles are also equal. Also the diagonal of a quadrilateral bisect each other.

m∠C = m∠A = 79° (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)

m∠C = 79°

m∠B +  m∠A = 180° (consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary)

m∠B + 79 = 180

m∠B = 180 - 79

m∠B = 101°

m∠B = m∠D = 101° (opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent)

m∠D = 101°

Answer:

Mean = 30.3

Median = 30

They scored 30 or more points on 11 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = all the numbers added together divided by 21

636/21 = 30.3

Median is the middle number (the 11th) = 30

Solve the system using elimination 7x+2y=10 -7x+y=-16

Answers

Answer:

x=2, y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+2y=10

-7x+y=-16

-------------------

0x + 3y = -6

Divide each side

3y/3 = -6/3

y = -2

Now find x

7x +2y = 10

7x + 2( -2) = 10

7x -4 = 10

Add 4 to each side

7x -4+4 = 10+4

7x= 14

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 14/7

x = 2

7x + 2y = 10-7x + y = -16

Since one equation has a 7x and and the other equation has a -7x,

when we add the equations together, the x's will cancel out.

So we have 3y = -6 and y = -2.

To find x, plug -2 back in for y in either of the two original equations.

I've chosen to plug -2 into the first equation to get 7x + 2(-2) = 10.

Solving from here, x = 2.

So our final answer is the ordered pair (2, -2).

Now, check your answer.
