The morning announcements said that two out of every seven sixth-grade students in the school have an overdue library book. Jasmine said, “That would mean 24 of us have overdue books!” Grace argued, “No way. That is way too high.”

How can you determine who is right?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We need to know how many students are in sixth grade and compare the real number with the 84 sixth graders that Jasmine claims to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to know how many students are in sixth grade to determine who is right. If two students out of seven have an overdue library book and grace claims that 24 of them are overdue by that means, what we would need to do is divide the allegedly 24 students between 2. Now we have 12 pairs of students that have overdue books. For every pair of students in sixth grade that have overdue books, seven students don’t have overdue books, so now we multiply 12 pairs of students with overdue books times 7 students who don’t have overdue books. By Jasmine calculation then, sixth grade have 84 students.  

If sixth grade have indeed 84 students, Jasmine is right. If there are not 84 students in sixth grade, she is wrong. Grace is right if there are fewer students than 84 in sixth grade.

The scale on the horizontal axis is 5 s per division and on the vertical axis 9 m per division. What is the time represented by the third tic mark on the horizontal axis? Answer in units of s.

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that:

The time represented by the third tic mark on the horizontal axis is of 15 seconds.The position represented by the fourth tic mark on the vertical axis is of 36 meters.The position at t = 15s is of 18 m.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

On the horizontal axis, each tic represents 5 seconds, hence:

3 x 5 = 15 seconds.

The time represented by the third tic mark on the horizontal axis is of 15 seconds.

On the vertical axis, each tic represents 9 meters, hence:

4 x 9 = 36 meters.

The position represented by the fourth tic mark on the vertical axis is of 36 meters.

When t = 3 x 5 = 15s, y = 2 x 9 = 18m, hence:

The position at t = 15s is of 18 m.

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

There are only one or two variables in a linear equation. No variable can be multiplied by a number larger than one or used as the denominator of a fraction in a linear equation. All of the points fall on the same line when you identify the values that together make a linear equation true and plot those values on a coordinate grid.

Now,

Based on the given conditions, we formulate;

(–1, –4)
(–4, –1)
(1, StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction )
(1, negative StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction )

Answers

Using translation concepts, the point that lies on the new graph is given by: (-1, -4).

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

The equivalent translation to an horizontal shrink by a factor of a a function f(x) is given by:

f(ax).

Hence, in this problem, for the horizontal shrink by a factor of 4, the function will be given by:

g(x) = f(4x) = 4x.

Then when x = -1, the output is given by:

g(-1) = 4(-1) = -4.

The point that lies on the new graph is given by: (-1, -4).

Key IdeasFinding a coordinate point given the gradient/slopeCross multiplicationSlope equation

We use the slope equation to solve for the slope/gradient of a line:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

m = the slope[tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are two points that fall on the line

Solving the Question

We're given:

A (-2,y)B (4,-6)Gradient = [tex]-\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Plug in the given information:

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{-6-y}{4-(-2)}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{-6-y}{4+2}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{-6-y}{6}[/tex]

Cross multiply (by multiplying the numerators by the opposite denominators):

A line passes through (1, 3) and (4, 7). Which line would be perpendicular to this line?
a) y=-x+5
b) y=-x-2
c) y= 4x + 2
d) y=-4x-4

Answers

Answer: Any line with slope of -3/4

Reason:

Let's calculate the slope of the line through those two points

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,3) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (4,7)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{7 - 3}{4 - 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\[/tex]

The slope of the line is 4/3

Anything perpendicular to this has a slope of -3/4. I flipped the fraction and flipped the sign (from positive to negative).

So for example, the answer may be something like [tex]y = -\frac{3}{4}x+5[/tex] or [tex]y = -\frac{3}{4}x-2[/tex]. All that matters is the -3/4 out front of the x.

Side note: the original slope 4/3 and perpendicular slope -3/4 multiply to -1

cylinder a has a radius of 10 inches and a height of 5 inches. cylinder b has a volume of 750π. what is the percentage change in volume from cylinder a to cylinder b?

Answers

There is 50% increase in the change in the volume of cylinder A to A

The formula for the volume of the cylinder is given as

         V = Πr^2h              (1)

  Where, r = radius of the cylinder

                h = height of the cylinder

We have been given the radius and height of cylinder A which are,

       r = 10 inches

       h = 5 inches

Now putting the required values in equation (1) we get

 V = Π(10)^2(5) cubic inches

 V = Π*100*5 cubic inches

V = 500Π cubic inches

We have also been given the volume of cylinder B = 750Π

Thus percentage change in volume of cylinder = (750Π - 500Π)/500Π * 100

                                                                                   = 50%

Hence there is 50% increase in the change of the volume from cylinder A to B

An airplane leaves Los Angeles and travels 5 hours to New York City. The return trip travels along the same route and takes 6 hours because the plane travels 99 mph slower due to a headwind. Find the distance the plane flies between the two cities.

Answers

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, the distance of the plane ride between Los Angeles and New York is of 270 miles.

What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence the following equation is built to model the relationship between these variables:

v = d/t.

For the Los Angeles to New York trip, we have that the time is of 5 hours, hence:

v = d/5.

v = 0.2d.

For the return trip, we have that the time is of 6 hours, while the velocity is 99 mph slower, hence:

v - 99 = d/6.

From the first equation, we have that:

v = 0.2d.

Replacing on the second:

0.2d - 99 = d/6.

d(0.2 + 1/6) = 99

0.3667d = 99

d = 99/0.3667

d = 270 miles.
