While watching a circus show, I counted out the number of acrobats and elephants. I counted 40 legs and 15 heads. How many acrobats did I see in the show?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

find the prime factorization of 47

Answers

Answer: 47 = 1 x 47 since 47 is a prime
How to find it:

Start by dividing the number by the first prime number 2 and continue dividing by 2 until you get a decimal or remainder.

The prime factorization of 47 is:

47 is a prime number.

The exponent of prime number 47 is 1.

Adding 1 to that exponent we get

(1 + 1) = 2.

Factors of 47: 1, 47.

Factor pairs: 47 = 1 x 47.

47 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified.

Sudhir bought an almirah for RS 13600 and spent RS 400 on its transportation . He sold it for RS 16800 . find the his gain percent

Answers

Answer:

His gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the percentage gain of the business.

We need the following parameters;

The cost price which is the sum of the amount she bought the goods + the amount spent on transport

Using the values we have in the question;

The cost price will be;

13,600 + 400 = Rs 14,000

The selling price = Rs 16,800

Mathematically the percentage gain will be;

% gain = (selling price- cost price)/selling price * 100%

% gain = (16,800-14,000)/14,000 * 100/1

% gain = 2800/14,000 * 100/1 = 1/5 * 100/1 = 20%

Find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence whose common difference is d=6 and whose first term is a, = 2.

Answers

Answer:

The 12th term is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

d = 6

a = 2

n = 12

So the 12th term of the sequence is

A(12) = 2 + (12-1)6

= 2 + 11(6)

= 2 + 66

A(12) = 68

A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represent the weekly profit in thousands of dollars, y, when the company sells x items? y squared = 4 x squared minus 100 y = negative x squared + 50 x minus 300 x = negative y squared minus 400 x squared = negative 6 y squared + 200

Answers

Answer:

B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Options given

A. y^2=4x^2 - 100

B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300

C. x= -y^2 - 400

D. x^2= -6y^2 + 200

We are to find profits (y) function in thousands of dollars if the company sells x items.

We will use elimination method to eliminate the wrong options above in order to find the correct answer

Option A. y^2= 4x^2 - 100 is used to find the square of the profit function

Option B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300 is used to calculate profit (y) function

Option C. x= -y^2 - 400 is for the calculation of the items x sold

Option D. x^2= -6y^2 + 200 is to find items x sold squared.

Since, we are required to find the profit (y) function, option A, C and D will be eliminated.

We are left with option B which is the correct answer to the question.

The weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2 + 50x - 300

Answer:

696.6 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4/3πr³

The diameter of 11 in. is given. Therefore, the radius is 5.5 (11/2 = 5.5).

1. Set up the equation

4/3(3.14)(5.5³)

2. Solve

= 696.6 in³

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{Volume = 696.9 \ in.^3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 11 inches

Radius = 5.5 inches

Volume of sphere = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Where r = 5.5 inches

Volume = [tex]\frac{4}{3} (3.14)(5.5)^3[/tex]

SOLVE EACH EQUATION BY TAKING SQUARE ROOTS. 1.) 3(x-5)^2=48 2.)2x^2-56=42

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

3(x - 5)² = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

(x - 5)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 5 = ± [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] = ± 4 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 5 ± 4

Thus

x = 5 - 4 = 1

x = 5 + 4 = 9

Solutions are x = 1, x = 9

(2)

2x² - 56 = 42 ( add 56 to both sides )

2x² = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± [tex]\sqrt{49}[/tex] = ± 7

Solutions are x = - 7, x = 7

Examine the diagram of circle C. Points A, B, and Q are on circle C. Given that m∠ACB=52∘, what is the arc length of AQB⌢?

Answers

Hey there! :)

Answer:

Third choice: 13π/15 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by finding the circumference of the entire circle. Use the formula

C = 2rπ to solve:

C = 2(3)π

C = 6π.

Next, we can set up a proportion to find the arc length of AQB:

[tex]\frac{6\pi }{360}= \frac{x}{52}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

52 · 6π = 360 · x

312π = 360x

Divide both sides by 360:

312π/360 = 360x/360

x = 13π/15 in.

Volume of a cube=b^3

Where,

b=side length of a cube

b=1/2 units

Volume of a cube=b^3

=(1/2)^3

=1/8 cubic units

Volume of the rectangular prism=6 cubic units

To find out the number of cubes needed to fill the prism, divide the volume of the rectangular prism by the volume of one cube

Number of cubes needed= Volume of the rectangular prism ÷ volume of a cube

Answers

Answer: 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of samples = 121

Average speed (sample mean) = 65mph

Population standard deviation = 22 mph

The standard error of the mean is:

Standard error of the mean(S.Em)

Standard error of the mean is the proportion of the population standard deviation and the square root of the sample size.

S.Em = standard deviation / √same size

S.Em = 22 / √121

S.Em = 22 / 11

S.Em = 2

Write the equation of the conic section satisfying the given conditions. focus at the pole, e = 3/4, horizontal directrix 2 units above the pole

Answers

Answer:

The equation in the polar form is;

[tex]r = \dfrac{6}{4 + 3 \cdot sin(\theta)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

 e = 3/4  > 1, we have an hyperbola    

The polar equation of a conic is of the form;

For vertical directrix

[tex]r = \dfrac{k \cdot e}{1\pm e \cdot cos (\theta)}[/tex]

For horizontal directrix

[tex]r = \dfrac{k \cdot e}{1\pm e \cdot sin(\theta)}[/tex]

Where;

k = Distance from the focus to the directrix = 2

We have;

[tex]r = \dfrac{2 \cdot \dfrac{3}{4} }{1 + \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot sin(\theta)}[/tex]

[tex]r = \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2} }{1 + \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot sin(\theta)}[/tex]

Which gives the equation in the polar form as follows;
