Answers

The graph of the inequaity expression is added as an attachment

What are inequality expressions?

Inequality expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators where the opposite sides are not equal

How to plot the graph of the inequaity expression?

The mathematical statement is given as

"2.5 greater than the product of -0.5 and a number"

Product means times

So, we have the following representation

"2.5 greater than the product of -0.5 and a number" ⇒  2.5 greater than -0.5 * a number

Let the number be x

So, we have

"2.5 greater than the product of -0.5 and a number" ⇒  2.5 greater than -0.5x

Greater than is represented by >

So, we have

"2.5 greater than the product of -0.5 and a number" ⇒  2.5 > -0.5x

Next, we plot the graph of the inequality expression

b) Use your answer to part a) to solve 3x² + 16x + 5 = 0

Answers

The roots the the given quadratic equation, will be -1/3 and -5 so the factors will be (3x+1)(x+5). As the value of roots is known, so the value of quadratic equation will be zero (0) for both the roots.

As per the question statement, we are supposed to fill the gaps to factorize the quadratic equation given :

3x² + 16x + 5 = (3x + _)(x + _)

We need to solve the expression for finding out its factors.

y = 3x² + 16x + 5

y = 3x² + 15x + x + 5

y = 3x(x + 5) + 1(x + 5)

y = (3x + 1)(x + 5)

Therefore, the  roots the the given quadratic equation, will be -1/3 and -5 so the factors will be (3x+1)(x+5). As the value of roots is known, so the value of quadratic equation will be zero (0) for both the roots.

Quadratic equation: Any equation where there is just one term that squares the unknown and none that raises it to a higher power.Roots: Roots of any quadratic equation / expression is the value of the variable at which the complete value of the expression becomes zero (0).

Florence needs to work out the next time they will both be in recession. When will this be?

Answers

The most appropriate choice for LCM will be given by

After the year 2005, France and America will be in recession in the year 2029

What is LCM?

Suppose a and b are two numbers. LCM of a and b is the lowest common multiple of a and b. LCM of a and b is the lowest number that is divisible by both a and b.

Here,

France has a recession every 6 years.

America has a recession every 8 years.

Florence works out when France and America will both be in recession.

It will be possible in the year which is a common multiple of 6 and 8

In the year 2005, both France and America were in recession

France and America will both be in recession again after (LCM of 6 and 8) years

Now,

6 = 2 x 3

8 = 2 x 2 x 2

LCM of 6 and 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 x3

                          = 24

France and America will both be in recession again after 24 years

Bridget’s rectangular living room was 12ft 8in by 14ft 6in How many of carpet will she need if she was advised to expect 10% waste and she cannot buy part of a square yard?

Answers

The first step we need to do is to convert the measures from inches to feet (12 inches is 1 foot):

8 inches = 8/12 feet = 0.667 feet

6 inches = 6/12 feet = 0.5 feet

So the measures are 12.667 ft and 14.5 ft.

Now, to find the area of the rectangular living room, we just need to multiply these measures:

[tex]\text{Area}=12.667\cdot14.5=183.67in^2[/tex]

Since we expect a waste of 10%, we need to increase this area by 10%, that is, we multiply it by 110% or 1.1:

[tex]NewArea=Area\cdot1.1=183.67\cdot1.1=202.03in^2[/tex]

Since she cannot buy part of a square yard, we need to round up our answer (if we round down, the amount of carpet will not be enough). So rouding up, she will have to buy 203 in2 of carpet.

It follows from the task content that the number of different numbers which Toby could have picked given the conditions is to be determined.

On this note, since the required number is to be greater than 49,999 and must be a 5-digit number, the numbers which he could pick would range from;

49,999 - 99,999.

Hence, there are 5000 numbers in between.

PQ has a length of 17 units with P(-4,7). If the x- and y-coordinates of Q are both greater than the x- and y-coordinates of P, what are possible integer value coordinates of Q? Explain.
Let PQ be the hypotenuse of a right triangle that also has a horizontal leg and a vertical leg. The hypotenuse then has length 17, and a Pythagorean triple can be used to say the shorter leg has length
and the longer leg has length. If the shorter leg is horizontal, then Q is described by the ordered pair. If the shorter leg is vertical, then Q is described by the ordered pair

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a distance on a coordinate grid is always the Hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with the differences of the x coordinates and the y coordinates as the legs.

so, per Pythagoras

distance² = (x diff)² + (y diff)²

we have here a distance 17. 17² = 289.

to get integer coordinates the lengths of the legs must be integer numbers.

what 2 squared integer numbers can be added to get 289 ?

I found after subtracting 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 and finally 64 (the squares of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) that

289 - 64 = 225, which is also a square number (15²).

so, we get the possible integer coordinates of Q to be

(-4 + 8, 7 + 15) = (4, 22)

in this case the shorter leg has the length 8, and the longer leg the length 15.

the shorter leg is in this case horizontal, because it is the x coordinate difference. and Q is again as described (4, 22).

if we make the shorter leg vertical, that means it is the y coordinate difference. and Q is then

(-4 + 15, 7 + 8) = (11, 15)

You might observe that the data has an awfully smooth pattern. If you were to view the scatterplot above at the daily level or the monthly level, the points in the scatter diagram would look a lot more messy. It looks a lot less messy because the data is the average CO2 over the entire year. What is the term for this phenomenon that we talked about?

Answers

Based on the fact that the data for the average CO₂ over the whole year was smoother than the daily and monthly level, the term for the phenomenon is called Smoothing.

How to define smoothing?

Smoothing refers to a process in statistics where the messier points of a data distribution is removed. In other words, the data points that give the data set a varied distribution are removed so that the data set appears smoother.

There are several methods to engage in smoothing but most of them use averaging over a longer period of time. They would for instance, use the averages of a period over a month or weekly and convert it to an annual measure like the scatterplot of CO₂ for the year.

In conclusion, the fact that the average CO₂ scatterplot for the year was smoothly than monthly or daily is due to smoothing.

Write a piecewise function for the given graph.

Answers

The  graphed piecewise function is conformed of two lines, it can be written as::

y = -x        if x < -1y = x + 1    if x ≥ 1

How to write the piecewise function?

Notice that we have two lines that conform the piecewise function.

The linear equation in the left passes through the points (-8, 8) and (-1, 1), so the slope is:

m = (1 - 8)/(-1 + 8) = -7/7 = -1

Then it is something like:

y = -x + b

To find the value of b we use the point (-1, 1), we will get:

1 = -(-1) + b

1 - 1 = b

0 = b

Then the first line is:

y = -x   if x < -1.

The second line passes through points (-1, -3) and (4, 2), then the slope is:

m = (2 + 3)/(4 + 1) = 1

And we can see that it intercepts the y-axis at y = -1, so the linear equation here is:

y = x - 1

Finally, the piecewise function is:

y = -x        if x < -1y = x + 1    if x ≥ 1

Answers

The solutions to the question are

The area of the pen in terms of x is A = x(120 - 2x)The x value that gives the highest area is 30The dimensions is 30 by 60The domain is 0 <= x <= 60

a) How to determine the sketch

The given parameters are:

Sides = 3

Fourth side = barn wall

Perimeter = 120 m

Next, we sketch the dog pen using the above parameters (see attachment)

b) The area of the pen

Here, we have

P = 120m

Also, we have

P = 2x + y

This gives

2x + y = 120

Make y the subject

y = 120 - 2x

The area is calculated as

A = xy

So, we have

A = x(120 - 2x)

Hence, the area is A = x(120 - 2x)

The sketch of the graph

See attachment for the graph of A = x(120 - 2x)

The value of x that gives the greatest area

We have

A = x(120 - 2x)

Expand

A = 120x - 2x^2

Differentiate

120 - 4x= 0

So, we have

4x = 120

This gives

x = 30

Hence, the value of x that gives maximum area is 30

The dimensions of the pen

Recall that

y = 120 - 2x

So, we have

y = 120 - 2 * 30

Evaluate

y = 60

Hence, the dimensions is 30 by 60

The domain of the function

From the graph, we have

x = 0 to 60

Hence, the domain of the function is 0 <= x <= 60
