A student missed 15 problems on a mathematics test and received a grade of 80%. If all the problems were of equal value, how many problems were on the test?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

75 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of problems on the test and x-15 be the number of correct answers the student got on the test:

(x-15)/x = 0.80

x-15 = 0.80x

-15 = -0.20x

75 = x

Therefore, there were 75 problems on the test

Which ordered pair (a, b) is the solution to the given system?
2a-5b=1
3a+5b=14
(1, 3)
(3, 1)
(29/5,15)
15,29/5

Answers

Answer:

2a - 5b = 1

3a + 5b = 14

Let's solve this system using elimination. Add the equations together to cancel the b-terms, then solve for a.

   2a - 5b = 1

  3a + 5b = 14

+___________

   5a - 0 = 15

        5a = 15

          a = 3

Next, plug 3 for a into either of the equations and solve for b.

 2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5b = 1

   6 - 5b = 1

      - 5b = -5

          b = 1

Lastly, check all work by plugging both values for their respective variables.

    2a - 5b = 1

2(3) - 5(1) = 1

        6 - 5 = 1  --  This is true

    3a + 5b = 14

3(3) + 5(1) = 14

        9 + 5 = 14  --  This is true

The solution to the system of equations is (3, 1).

(b) Find the interval where the function is increasing.
Find the interval where the function is decreasing.
(c) Find the local maximum and minimum values.
(d) Find the interval where the function is concave up.
Find the interval where the function is concave down.
Find the inflection point.
(e) Use the information from parts (a)-(d) to sketch the graph of f.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the function is [tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]

A) The vertical asymptotes are located where the denominator is equal to 0. Therefore, [tex]x=0[/tex] is the only vertical asymptote.

B) Set the first derivative equal to 0 and solve:

[tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]

[tex]0=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]

[tex]0=-5x+8[/tex]

[tex]5x=8[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Now we test where the function is increasing and decreasing on each side. I will use 2 and 1 to test this:

[tex]f'(2)=-\frac{5}{2^2}+\frac{8}{2^3}=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{8}{8}=-\frac{5}{4}+1=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]f'(1)=-\frac{5}{1^2}+\frac{8}{1^3}=-\frac{5}{1}+\frac{8}{1}=-5+8=3[/tex]

Therefore, the function increases on the interval [tex](0,\frac{8}{5})[/tex] and decreases on the interval [tex](-\infty,0),(\frac{8}{5},\infty)[/tex].

C) Since we determined that the slope is 0 when [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] from the first derivative, plugging it into the original function tells us where the extrema are. Therefore, [tex]f(\frac{8}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{8}{5}}-\frac{4}{\frac{8}{5}^2 }=\frac{41}{16}[/tex], meaning there's an extreme at the point [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex], but is it a maximum or minimum? To answer that, we will plug in [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] into the second derivative which is [tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]. If [tex]f''(x)>0[/tex], then it's a minimum. If [tex]f''(x)<0[/tex], then it's a maximum. If [tex]f''(x)=0[/tex], the test fails. So, [tex]f''(\frac{8}{5})=\frac{10}{\frac{8}{5}^3}-\frac{24}{\frac{8}{5}^4}=-\frac{625}{512}<0[/tex], which means [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex] is a local maximum.

D) Now set the second derivative equal to 0 and solve:

[tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]

[tex]0=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]

[tex]0=10x-24[/tex]

[tex]-10x=-24[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{24}{10}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

We then test where [tex]f''(x)[/tex] is negative or positive by plugging in test values. I will use -1 and 3 to test this:

[tex]f''(-1)=\frac{10}{(-1)^3}-\frac{24}{(-1)^4}=-34<0[/tex], so the function is concave down on the interval [tex](-\infty,0)\cup(0,\frac{12}{5})[/tex]

[tex]f''(3)=\frac{10}{3^3}-\frac{24}{3^4}=\frac{2}{27}>0[/tex], so the function is concave up on the interval [tex](\frac{12}{5},\infty)[/tex]

The inflection point is where concavity changes, which can be determined by plugging in [tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] into the original function, which would be [tex]f(\frac{12}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{12}{5}}+\frac{4}{\frac{12}{5}^2 }=\frac{43}{18}[/tex], or [tex](\frac{12}{5},\frac{43}{18})[/tex].

This question is one of the clear one.

The x intercept is 2,0

The y intercept is 0,1

You want the slope.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = 1

y1 = 0

x2 = 0

x1 = 2

m = (1 - 0)/(0 - 2)

m = 1 / -2

m = -1/2

In this case the slope and gradient have the same value --   - 1/2 or - 0.5

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5-(-1))/(0-1)

m=(5+1)/-1

m=6/-1

m=-6

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=-6(x-1)

y+1=-6(x-1)

If $3000 grows to $3540 after 3 yr, find the simple interest rate

Answers

Answer:

R = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

SI = A - P

SI = 3540 - 3000

SI = $540

R = 100 × SI/P × T

R = 100 × 540/3000 × 3

R = 54/9

R = 6%

S O L U T I O N:

Here we've been provided with the information i.e

Amount (A) = 3540

Principal amount (P) = 3000

Time period (T) = 3 years

And we are asked to calculate simple interest rate (R) = ?

The standard formula to calculate is given by,

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. = A - P}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. =3540 - 3000}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{S.I. =540}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 100 \times \frac{S.I.}{P} \times t}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 100 \times \frac{540}{3000} \times 3}[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = \frac{54}{9} }[/tex]

[tex]:\Rrightarrow\sf{R = 6\%}[/tex]

The simple interest is 6%.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic charged $75 per hour, and the second mechanic charged $45 per hour. The mechanics worked for a
combined total of 25 hours, and together they charged a total of $1425. How long did each mechanic work?

Answers

Answer:

First mechanic 10 hours, Second is 15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 25, so y = 25 - x

75x + 45y = 1425

Substitute in the first equation

75x + 45(25 - x) = 1425

75x + 1125 - 45x = 1425

30x = 300

x = 10

Therefore, y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

: West Gorham High School is to be located at the population center of gravity of three communities: Westbrook, population 16,000; Scarborough, population 22,000; and Gorham, population 36,500. Westbrook is located at 43.6769˚N, 70.3717˚W; Scarborough is located at 43.5781˚N, 70.3222˚W; and Gorham is located at 43.6795˚N, 70.4447˚W.
 a. Where should West Gorham High School be located?
 b. If only two pieces of adequate land are available for sale: Baker’s Field at 43.6784˚N, 70.3827˚W; or L onesome Acres at 43.5119˚N, 70.3856˚W, using rectilinear distances, which is closer to the site located in part (a)?

Answers

Answer:

  (a) 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W

  (b) Baker's Field

Step-by-step explanation:

The locations are all within a 7-mile square, so we will make the assumption of a flat Earth with parallel longitude lines. Then the "central" location will be the weighted average of the latitude and longitude coordinates.

(a)

Total population is 16000 +22000 +36500 = 74,500. For purposes of the arithmetic, we will subtract 43 from latitude and 70 from longitude, then multiply each fraction by 10. Similarly, we will divide each population by 1000.

The weighted average location is found from ...

  (16/74.5)(6.769, 3.717) +(22/74.5)(5.781, 3.222) +(36.5/74.5)(6.795, 4.447)

  = (1.4537, 0.7983) +(1.7071, 0.9515) +(3.3291, 2.1787) = (6.490, 3.928)

The center of gravity is about 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W.

__

(b)

The coordinate differences from the center of gravity are (in (°lat, °long)) ...

  Baker's Field: (0.0294, -0.0101)

  Lonesome Acres: (-0.1371, -.0072)

Clearly, Baker's field is closer to the site of part (a).

_____

Additional comment

Distance calculations could be refined further by considering that a degree of longitude at this latitude represents about 0.72 times the distance of a degree of latitude. In this problem, the location of Lonesome Acres has a latitude difference that is several times any of the other coordinate differences, so it is clearly much farther away from the desired location.

The calculations done here are a sort of first-level approximation. The least-significant digits in the coordinates represent a distance of less than 50 feet. If you really want accuracy to that level, then the (approximately) spherical shape of the Earth needs to be accounted for. As a second-level approximation, some reference point needs to be identified, and coordinates in miles (or feet) need to be expressed in relation to that reference. The best accuracy would be obtained using spherical trigonometry to identify the distances.

We expect any school that is constructed to be somewhat larger than 50 feet in any direction, so accuracy to the 4th decimal place in these locations is probably not required--except to satisfy some answer-checker.

3 out of 25 cookies are oatmeal . What percent of oatmeal are not oatmeal

Answers

Answer:

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this pretty easily because percent is just decimals where the decimal is moved 2 units to the right.

Since the base is 25, and 3 of them are oatmeal, you can multiply by 4/4 to get a base of 100, to make this a lot easier.

3 / 25 = x / 100

3 x 4 = 12

12/100 are oatmeal.

Since you don't want the oatmeal, you subtract 100 by 12 to find the remaining of 88.

Answer:

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 25-3=22 not oatmeal

2) proportion: 22/25 = x/100

cross multiply and divide

22x100 = 2200

2200/25 = 88
