Answer:

8.16 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

average is calculated as

average = [tex]\frac{sum}{count}[/tex]

here average = 0.17 and count = 48 , then

0.17 = [tex]\frac{sum}{48}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 48 )

8.16 = sum

that is total mass = 8.16 Kg

Using translation concepts, the trigonometric graph is given by:

y = sin(x) + 1 = 1sin(1x) + 1.

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

The parent function given in this problem is:

y = sin(x).

The dashed line is a shift up one unit of the parent function, hence the definition is:

y = sin(x) + 1 = 1sin(1x) + 1.

Answer:

[tex]x=1+\sqrt[n]{y}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since: [tex](x-1)*(x-1)*(x-1)=y[/tex]

that would imply: [tex](x-1)=\sqrt[3]{y}[/tex]

This is a bit more clear, if you write the equation as:

The resulting value of the function when the values of t is 2 and 6 are 3.5 and 6.5 respectively

Functions are expressions in form of variables. Given the following quadratic equation expressed as:

f(t) = 0.25t^2 − 0.5t + 3.5

We can find the equivalent value of the function when the value of t a re 2 and 6.

If the value of t is 2. hence;

f(2) =  0.25(2)^2 − 0.5(2) + 3.5

f(2) = 1 - 1 + 3.5

f(2) = 3.5

If the value of t is 6, hence;

f(6) = 0.25(6)^2 − 0.5(6) + 3.5

f(6) = 9 - 3 + 3.5

f(6) = 6.5

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Represent the children tickets with x and adults ticket with y.

So, we have the following system of equations

6x + 8y = 444

Express the equations as a matrix

x      y

1       1       63

6      8       444

Apply the following transformation

R2 = R2 - 6R1

This gives

x      y

1       1       63

0      2       66

Apply the following transformation

R2 = 1/2R2

x      y

1       1       63

0      1       33

From the above matrix, we have the following system of equations

x + y = 63

y = 33

Substitute y = 33 in x + y = 63

x + 33 = 63

Subtract 33 from both sides of the above equation

x = 30

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that the rate of the current is of 3.33 mph.

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence:

v = d/t

A small motorboat travels 12mph in still water. With the current, upstream, 46 miles are traveled in t hours, hence:

12 + r = 46/t

r = 46/t - 12

Downstream, the time is of t + 2 hours, hence:

12 - r = 46/(t + 2)

r = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

Hence, equaling the values for r:

46/t - 12 = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

46/t + 46/(t + 2) = 24

[tex]\frac{46t + 92 + 46t}{t(t + 2)} = 24[/tex]

92t + 92 = 24t² + 48t

24t² - 44t - 92 = 0

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the solution is t = 3. Hence the rate is found as follows:

Let the angles in a triangle ABC be ∠A, ∠B and ∠C.

The sum of these angles in the triangle ABC is

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180

Multiply the above equation by 2

2 * (∠A + ∠B + ∠C) = 2 * 180

Evaluate the product

2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C = 360

Recall that 2∠A = 3∠B.

Substitute the above in the equation 2∠A + 2∠B + 2∠C = 360

3∠B + 2∠B + 2∠C = 360

This gives

5∠B + 2∠C = 360

(8) The algebraic expression representing the given phrase is 22x ≥ 350, where x is the number of units sold by Ms. Reed.

(9) The minimum number of shares needed to achieve the required profit is 1223, using the algebraic expression 2.25x ≥ 2750, where x is the number of shares.

(10) The number of books needed to be sold for the novelist to make a profit of $10,000 is 4350, using the algebraic expression 5000 + 1.1495x ≥ 10000, where x is the number of books sold,

(8) Weekly target for Ms. Reed is $350.

The cost of each unit she sells is $22.

We assume the number of units she sold to be x.

Thus, the total sales done by Ms. Reed is $22x.

For her to remain employed, her total sales should exceed her target, which can be shown as an algebraic expression: 22x ≥ 350.

Thus, the algebraic expression representing the given phrase is 22x ≥ 350, where x is the number of units sold by Ms. Reed.

(9) Profit on each share is $2.

The additional profit is $0.25.

Thus, the total profit on each share is $2 + $0.25 = $2.25.

The required profit by the customer is $2750.

We assume the number of shares needed to be x.

Thus, the total profit made by the customer is $2.25x.

For the customer to make the required profit, we can write the algebraic expression, 2.25x ≥ 2750.

To solve this, we divide both sides by 2.25 to get:

2.25x/2.25 ≥ 2750/2.25,

or, x ≥ 1222.22.

Thus, the minimum number of shares needed to achieve the required profit is 1223.

(10) Default contract of Book Maker publisher is $5000 and 5% royalty.

The cost of the book, for which the novelist has got the contract is $22.99.

We assume the number of books sold to be x.

The royalty share on each book given to the novelist is 5% of $22.99, or, $ 5/100 * 2299/100 = $ 11495/10000 = $1.1495.

Thus, the royalty received on x number of books = $1.1495*x = $1.1495x.

Thus, the total profit to the novelist = (5000 + 1.1495x).

Since the novelist wants to make a minimum profit of $10000, we can show it as the algebraic expression:

5000 + 1.1495x ≥ 10000.

To solve this, we go as follows:

5000 + 1.1495 ≥ 10000,

or, 1.1495x ≥ 10000 - 5000,

or, 1.1495x ≥ 5000,

or, x ≥ 5000/1.1495,

or, x ≥ 4349.717.

Approximating, we get x ≥ 4350.

Thus, 4350 books need to be sold to achieve the wanted profit.

Answer:

[tex]x^2+y^2=64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first important thing in solving this problem, is identifying what the major and minor axis are. The major axis is the bigger one, and we want to find on which axis it is.

So by simply looking at the eclipse, you can see that it's larger on the horizontal axis, so the major axis is on the horizontal axis, and the minor axis is on the vertical axis.

This means the equation will be expressed as:

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

In this equation the major axis, has a length of 2a, and the minor axis has a length of 2b. It's also important to note that (h, k) is the middle of the eclipse, but in the equation you provided, there is no subtraction, so it's just 0, meaning the center is at the origin (0, 0)

So now let's solve for a, and b. I'll look at each individual fraction separately.

[tex]\frac{x^2}{64}[/tex]

The denominator is equal to the value of a^2, so we simply take the square root of this to get the equation: a=8

[tex]\frac{y^2}{36}[/tex]

The denominator is equal to the value of b^2, so we simply take the square root of this to get the equation: b=6

So by just looking at the graph the larger circle appears to have a denominator that is equal to the length of the major axis. The major axis is equal to 2a, and since we know the value of a (8), we simply multiply this by 2 to get a length of 16. This was a bit redundant to do, since in the equation of a circle we need the radius, and the radius is just half the diameter, so now we divide this 16 by 2 to get a radius of 8.

The circle also appears to be centered at the origin so the equation will have (x-0)^2 and (y-0)^2 which is just x^2 and y^2

Plugging in all the values we get the equation:

[tex]x^2+y^2=64[/tex]

[tex] {\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}} [/tex]

Here we go ~

The ellipse shown here is a horizontal ellipse that has major axis parallel to x - axis and minor axis parallel to y - axis. Length of major axis = 2a, and that of minor axis = 2b.

And it has it's centre on origin, it's equation can be written as :

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{ {x}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} } + \cfrac{ {y}^{2} }{ {b}^{2} } = 1[/tex]

so, let's equate given equation with the standard equation ~

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: \cfrac{ {x}^{2} }{64} + \cfrac{ {y}^{2} }{36} = 1[/tex]

so we get :

As we know, length of major axis is : 2a = 2 × 8 = 16 units

and, the larger circle has diameter = 2a = 16 units

so, it's radius = 8 units ~

Now, let's write the equation of circle with origin as centre and radius = 8 units

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: {(x - h)}^{2} + (y - k) {}^{2} = {r}^{2} [/tex]

[ h = 0, k = 0, since circle has centre at origin ]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 64[/tex]

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 & 29 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 & 29 \end{array} \right][/tex]

• Eliminate the entries in the first column of the second and third rows. Combine -2 (row 1) with row 2, and -3 (row 1) with row 3.

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 5 & -2 & -31 \end{array} \right][/tex]

• Eliminate the entry in the second column of the third row. Combine -5 (row 2) with row 3.

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 3 & 24 \end{array} \right][/tex]

• Multiply row 3 by 1/3.

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right][/tex]

• Eliminate the entry in the third column of the second row. Combine row 2 with row 3.

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right][/tex]

• Eliminate the entries in the second and third columns of the first row. Combine row 1 with row 2 and -1 (row 3).

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & 9 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right][/tex]

Then the solution to the system is

[tex]\boxed{x=9, y=-3, z=8}[/tex]

If you want to use G elimination and substitution, you'd stop at the step with the augmented matrix

[tex]\left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -1 & 1 & 20 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & -11 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 8 \end{array} \right][/tex]

The third row tells us that [tex]z=8[/tex]. Then in the second row,

[tex]y-z = -11 \implies y=-11 + 8 = -3[/tex]

and in the first row,

[tex]x-y+z=20 \implies x=20 + (-3) - 8 = 9[/tex]
