The length and width of a rectangular yard are 11 meters and 5 meters respectively. If each dimension were reduced by x meters to make the ratio of length to width 8 to 3, what would be the value of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions

Length=11 meters

Width=5 meters

Each dimension reduced by x meters

L=11-x

W=5-x

Length/width=ratio of length/ratio of width

11-x/5-x = 8/3

Cross product

(11-x)3 =( 5-x)8

33-3x=40-8x

-3x+8x=40-33

5x=7

x=7/5

Check:

11-7/5=55-7/5

=48/5

5-7/5=25-7/5

=18/5

48/5÷18/5

=48/5*5/18

=240/90

=24/9

=8/3

Length: width=8:3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will start with the angle that measures 57 degrees. This angle is supplementary to the one next to it coming off the straight line. 180 - 57 = 123.

The rule for quadrilaterals is that same side angles are supplementary, so the angle next to the 123-degree angle (to the immediate left of that angle 123) is 57. THAT 57-degree angle is supplementary to angle b, so angle b = 180 - 57 which is 123. So C is your answer.

Answer:

[tex]y > \frac{2x}{3} + 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The graph in the attachment where the coordinates are (3,3) and (-3,-1)

Required:

Which inequality represent the graph

The first step is to determine the slope of the graph

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

Where m represents the slope, [tex](x_1, y_1) = (3,3)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2) = (-3,-1)[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-1 - 3}{-3 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4}{-6}[/tex]

Simplify to lowest term

[tex]m = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Next is to determine the equation of the line using the slope formula

[tex]m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}[/tex], [tex](x_1, y_1) = (3,3)[/tex]  and [tex]m = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{y - 3}{x - 3}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]2 * (x - 3) = 3 * (y - 3)[/tex]

Open both brackets

[tex]2 x - 6 = 3y -9[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2 x - 6 +9= 3y[/tex]

[tex]2 x+3= 3y[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3y}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2x}{3} + 1 = y[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]y = \frac{2x}{3} + 1[/tex]

Next is to determine the inequality sign

The dotted lines on the graph shows that the inequality sign is either > or <Since the shaded region is the upper part of the graph, then the > inequality sign will be considered,

The inequality becomes

[tex]y > \frac{2x}{3} + 1[/tex]

Three alleles (alternative versions of a gene) A, B, and O determine the four blood types A (AA or AO), B (BB or BO), O (OO), and AB. The Hardy-Weinberg Law states that the proportion of individuals in a population who carry two different
alleles is P=2pq+2pr+2rq where p, q, and r are the proportions of A, B, and O in the
population. Use the fact that to show that p+q+r=1 is at most 2/3.

Answers

Answer:

The fact that shows that p+q+r=1 is at most 2/3 is well explained from what we have below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The maximum of function P = 2pq+2pr+2rq is at most 2/3.

where ;

p+q+r=1

From  p+q+r=1

Let make r the subject ; then r = 1 - p - q

If we replace the value for r into the given function; we have:

P = 2pq+2pr+2rq

P = 2pq+2p(1 - p - q)+2(1 - p - q)q

P = 2pq + 2p - 2p² - 2pq + 2q -2pq -2q²

P = 2p - 2p² + 2q -2pq -2q²

By applying the standard method for determining critical points we obtain:

[tex]P_p[/tex] = -4p - 2q + 2 = 0

[tex]P_q[/tex] = -4q - 2p + 2 = 0

Divide all through by 2

[tex]P_p[/tex] = -2p - q + 1 = 0

[tex]P_q[/tex] = -2q - p + 1 = 0

[tex]P_p[/tex] = -2p - q  = - 1

[tex]P_q[/tex] = -2q - p  = - 1

Multiplying both sides by - ; we have:

[tex]P_p[/tex] = 2p + q  =  1   ----- (1)

[tex]P_q[/tex] = 2q + p  =  1    ------(2)

From equation (1) ; let make q the subject ; then

2p + q = 1

q = 1 - 2p

Now; let us replace the value of q = 1-2p into equation (2) , we have:

2q + p  =  1  

2(1-2p)+ p = 1

2 - 4p+p = 1

2 - 3p = 1

3p = 2-1

p = 1/3

Replacing the value of p = 1/3 into equation (1) ; we have :

2p + q  =  1  

2(1/3) + q = 1

2/3 + q = 1

q = 1 -2/3

q = 1/3

Taking the second derivative D; we have

[tex]D = P_{pp}P_{qq}-p^2_{pq}[/tex]

D = -4 × -4 - (2²)

D = 16 - 4

D = 12

This implies that the given function has a minimum or maximum at its critical point for which  12 > 0

Therefore , the value for function p = q = r  since  p, q, and r are the proportions of A, B, and O in the  population.

Hence r = 1/3

P=2pq+2pr+2rq

P = 2(1/3)(1/3) + 2(1/3)(1/3) + 2(1/3)(1/3)

P = 6/9

P = 2/3

Answers

Answer:

2.25 x 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we were given :

The weight of the Elephant = 9 × 10³ pounds

The weight of the African Lion = 4 × 10² pounds

We would compare both weights to determine which size is bigger

Weight of Elephant : Weight of Lion

9× 10³ : 4 × 10²

= 9 × 10³/4 × 10²

= 2.25 × 10¹

= 2.25 × 10

The weight of the elephant is 2.25 × 10 times greater than the weight of the lion.

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x2 – 15x – 100 = 0.

Answers

Answer:

x= 20      x =-5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 – 15x – 100 = 0.

What two numbers multiply to -100 and add to -15

-20 * 5 = -100

-20 +5 = -15

(x-20) (x+5) =0

Using the zero product property

x-20 =0     x+5 = 0

x= 20      x =-5

x = 20 and x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x² – 15x – 100 = 0

First, find factors that multiply to get -100 and add to -15.

These factors are -20 and 5.

So we have (x - 20)(x + 5) = 0.

Now use the zero product property to get x - 20 = 0 or x + 5 = 0.

Solving from here, we get x = 20 or x = -5.

x = 65° and y = 77.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle with the 50 degree angle and x, is an isosceles triangle. That means that the other unlabeled angle is also equal to x degrees.

x + x + 50 = 180

2x + 50 = 180

2x = 130

x = 65°.

Since x = 65 degrees, and the two angles make a 90 degree angle, the other unlabeled angle will be 90 - 65 = 25 degrees.

Since the other triangle is also isosceles, that triangle has two angles that measure y degrees and one angle measuring 25 degrees.

y + y + 25 = 180

2y + 25 = 180

2y = 155

y = 77.5°.

(f-g)(x)= -x-4

(f.g)(x) =  x-2 (2x+2)

(f.g)(x)= 2x^2 +2x-4x-4

(f.g)(x)= 2x^2 -2x-4

(f+g)(x)= x-2 +2x+2

(f+g)(x) = x+2x-2+2

(f+g)(x)= 3x

Let consider then to be :

Group            Statistics Class

A                    Never taken a statistics class

B                    Taken one statistics class

C                     Taken two or more statistics class.

If 55% of the students have never taken a statistics class,

Then ;

P(A) = 0.55

25% have taken only one semester of a statistics class

Then P(B) = 0.25

and the rest have taken two or more semesters of statistics

Then P(C) = 1 - 0.55 -0.25

P(C) = 1 - 0.80

P(C) = 0.20

The objective is to determine the probability that the first groupmate you meet has studied some statistics

The probability of the first groupmate you meet has studied some statistics = 1 - P(never taken a statistics course)

Let the  probability of the first groupmate you meet that  has studied some statistics be P(D)

Then P(D) = 1 -  P(A)

P(D) = 1 - 0.55

P(D) = 0.45

the probability that the first groupmate you meet has studied some statistics is 0.45

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(\dfrac{31.6 - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{31.6 - 31}{\dfrac{1.9 }{\sqrt{39}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< \dfrac{31.6 - 31}{\dfrac{1.9 }{\sqrt{39}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< \dfrac{0.6}{\dfrac{1.9 }{6.245}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< 1.972)[/tex]

From standard normal  tables

P(X < 31.6) = 0.9756

For sample size n = 76

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(\dfrac{31.6 - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}< \dfrac{31.6 - 31}{\dfrac{1.9 }{\sqrt{76}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< \dfrac{31.6 - 31}{\dfrac{1.9 }{\sqrt{76}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< \dfrac{0.6}{\dfrac{1.9 }{8.718}})[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 31.6) = P(Z< 2.75)[/tex]

From standard normal  tables

P(X < 31.6) = 0.9970

Where will her cut be located? Round to the nearest tenth. x = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 A number line goes from 0 to 60. A line is drawn from 2 to 60. Genevieve is cutting a 60-inch piece of ribbon into a ratio of 2:3. Since 2 inches are frayed at one end of the ribbon, she will need to start 2 inches in. This is indicated as 2 on the number line

Answer:

The correct answer is 25.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that number line goes from 0 to 60 which can be used to represent a ribbon of length = 60 inches.

2 inches of the ribbon are frayed so actual length = 58 inches

Please refer to the attached image for the ribbon.

A is at 0

C is at 60

B is at 2

P is the point to divide the remaining ribbon in the ratio 2:3.

Part AB of the ribbon is frayed.

BP: PC = 2:3

Let BP = 2[tex]x[/tex] and PC = 3[tex]x[/tex]

Now, BP + PC = BC = 58 = 2[tex]x[/tex] + 3[tex]x[/tex] = 5[tex]x[/tex]

So,

[tex]5x =58\\\Rightarrow x =11.6[/tex]

BP = [tex]2\times x = 2 \times 11.6 = 23.2\ inches[/tex]

Location of the Cut = 2 + 23.2 = 25.2 inches

Alternatively, we can use the formula directly:

[tex]x = \dfrac{m} {m + n } (x_2 - x_1) + x_1[/tex]

[tex]x_1 = 2\\x_2 = 60[/tex]

m: n is the ratio 2:3

[tex]x = \dfrac{2} {2 +3 } (60- 2) + 2\\\Rightarrow 0.4 (58 )+2\\\Rightarrow 23.2+2 \\\Rightarrow \bold{25.2\ inches}[/tex]
