John is 8 years younger than Ahmad. If the sum of their ages is 38, how old is John?

Answers

Answer 1
Let x equal Ahmad’s age.
Since John is 8 years younger than Ahmad, the equation would be as follows:

x+x-8=38

Solve for x:

2x-8=38
38+8=46
2x=46
x=23

23 is Ahmad’s age, subtract 8 from this and you’ll get 15 for John’s age.

Fiona grows large pumpkins and wants to estimate the mean weight of the approximately 500 pumpkins in her
harvest. She takes a random sample of 11 of these pumpkins and finds they have a mean weight of 44 kg and a
standard deviation of 6.7 kg. The weights in the sample were roughly symmetric with no outliers.

Answers

Answer:

44+-3.169(6.7/root11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean weight in kg of pumpkins grown by Fiona in the harvest for the provided sample is,

[tex]44\pm 3.169\times\dfrac{6.7}{\sqrt{11}}[/tex]

What is mean and standard deviation?

The mean of the data is the average value of the given data. The standard deviation of the data is the half of the difference of the highest value and mean of the data set.

Fiona grows large pumpkins and wants to estimate the mean weight of the approximately 500 pumpkins in her harvest.

She takes a random sample of 11 of these pumpkins. Here, the sample size is 11 which is less than 30. Thus, use the formula mentioned below.

[tex]\overline x\pm t\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Here, (n) is the sample size, [tex]\overline x[/tex] is the mean of the sample.

Degree of freedom is,

[tex]DF=11-1=10[/tex]

For this, the value of t from the t table is 3.169 for 99% confidence interval.

The mean weight of 44 kg and a standard deviation of 6.7 kg they find. Put these values in the above formula,

[tex]\overline x\pm t\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=44\pm 3.169\times\dfrac{6.7}{\sqrt{11}}[/tex]

Thus, the 99% confidence interval for the mean weight in kg of pumpkins in the harvest for the provided sample is,

[tex]44\pm 3.169\times\dfrac{6.7}{\sqrt{11}}[/tex]

Answer:

Radius of circle is 1 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle is 3.14 mm ²

Radius of circle

Area of circle = π × ( radius ) ²

substitute the values

3.14 mm² = 3.14 × ( radius )²

divide the values

3.14mm²/ 3.14 = ( radius) ²

1 mm²= ( radius)²

find the square root of 1 mm²

√1mm² = radius

1 mm = radius

Therefore the radius of circle is 1 mm.

For the given table of values for a polynomial function, where must the zeros of the function lie?

A. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5

B. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5

C. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 3.5 and 4.0

D. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 3.5 and 4.0

Answers

Answer:

(B). between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

If the value of the function is 0 at x=c, then c is a root or zero of the function. It means the graph of function intersects the x-axis at its zeroes.

From the given table it is clear that the value of function are

 x   |  f(x)  |   Sign

2.0 |  2.8  | Positive  

2.5 |  1.1    | Positive

3.0 | –0.8 | Negative

3.5 | –1.2  | Negative

4.0 | –0.3 | Negative

4.5 |  0.7  | Positive

The sign of values of function changes in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. It means the graph of function must intersect the x-axis in intervals 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. So, the zeros of the function lie between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Question and choices are in the photo please explain the answer

Answers

Answer: The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+5)(2x-1)=3(x+5)

Multiply the parentheses

2x^2 - x + 10x - 5 = 3x + 15

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 9x - 5 = 3x + 15

Move the expression to the left hand side and change its sign, then equate it to 0

2x^2 + 9x - 5 - 3x -15 = 0

Collect like terms

2x^2 + 6x - 20 = 0

Divide each term of the equation by 2

x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Rewrite the expression in factorized form

x^2 + 5x - 2x - 10 = 0

Factor the expression

x(x + 5) - 2(x + 5) = 0

(x + 5) (x - 2) = 0

Separate into possible cases but when the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0.

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

x - 2 = 0———-equation (2)

Solve the equations

x + 5 = 0———equation (1)

Make x the subject

x = 0 - 5

x = -5

x - 2 = 0———equation (2)

Make x the subject

x = 0 + 2

x = 2

Hence, the possible values of x are -5 and 2.

Answers

Answer: Choice D

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

Explanation:

A sequence is simply a list of values. There may or may not be a pattern to the list, though usually in a math class your teacher would use a pattern.

A series is where we add partial sums of a certain sequence to form a new sequence. For example, let's say A = {44, 44, 44, ...} is one sequence and we could form a list of partial sums to be B = {44, 88, 132, ...} The 88 is from adding the first two terms of sequence A together. The 132 is from adding the first three terms of sequence A. This process is continued forever.

For a series to be convergent, the terms must approach some finite single value. They likely won't actually reach this value but they should get closer and closer (think of it like an asymptote). When I formed series B shown above, note how the terms keep growing. It turns out they won't stop growing either and that means the series diverges to positive infinity. So we rule out choice B. The same happens for choices A and C as well.

To make sure the series approaches some finite value, the underlying sequence its based on must have the terms approaching 0. Choice D seems to have this happen. The terms of the sequence are getting smaller and smaller. Adding on smaller pieces will produce terms in a series that would likely get us closer to some finite target.

Keep in mind that not all decreasing sequences have a converging series. A famous example would be the harmonic sequence {1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...} which its series does not converge. The proof of this lengthy so I'll leave it out.

In the case of choice D, it is a geometric sequence with a = 120 as the starting term and r = 0.8 as the common ratio. The series converges to

S = a/(1-r) = 120/(1-0.8) = 600
