For every 4 beef cattle there is 3 dairy cattle. For 24 dairy cattle there will be 32 beef cattle as per the given ratio of 3:4.

What is ratio?

An ordered pair of numbers a and b, written as a / b, is a ratio if b is not equal to 0. A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value. For instance, you could write the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls). The ratio can be defined as the number that can be used to represent one quantity as a percentage of another. Only when the two numbers in a ratio have the same unit can they be compared. Ratios are used to compare two things.

Here,

a. No for every 4 beef cattle there is 3 dairy cattle.

b. 4/3=x/24

x=4*24/3

What do you mean by exponential growth and decay?

Quantities that fluctuate quickly are subject to exponential growth and decay. The idea of geometric progression has been used to infer exponential growth and decay. Exponential growth or exponential decay are terms used to describe quantities that vary exponentially rather than continuously. Studying bacterial growth, population expansion, and money growth schemes all use exponential growth.

It is given that a town has a population of 16000 and grows at 2.5% every year.

Now we need to  find the time period when the population will reach 24300

So, [tex]24300 = 16000(1+0.025)^{t}[/tex]

24300/16000 = [tex](1+0.025)^{t}[/tex]

24300/16000 = [tex]1.025^{t}[/tex]

1.51875 = [tex]1.025^{t}[/tex]

Taking log on both sides we get,

log(1.51875) = t log(1.025)

0.18148 = t (0.01072)

t = 0.18148/0.01072 = 16.9

Therefore, after 16.9 years the population will reach to 24300.

How to Create a Table of Equivalent Ratios?

Applying the knowledge of ratios we can create a table of equivalent ratios, given that it cost $12 to toss 30 rings.

Therefore, the ratio of dollars to toss is: 12:30 = 2:5.

Number of toss = x

Amount in dollars = y

Substitute k = 2/5 into y = kx to derive an equation to use to create a table of equivalent ratios:

y = 2/5x.

Therefore, wheny = 2:

2 = 2/5(x)

10 = 2x

x = 5 toss

When x = 45:

y = 2/5(45)

y = 18 dollars

Given,

After arriving in Australia, Jason exchanged $750 of US currency for $1,041.67 Australian dollars. Complete the two statements based on this currency exchange.

Here we need to find the exchange rate of US dollars per Australian dollar and Australian dollars per US dollar then round it to the nearest hundredth.

According to the given details,

Total amount in US dollars = $750

Converted amount in Australian dollar = $1,041.67

When we divide the US dollar by the Australian dollar then we get the value of one dollar rate,

=> 750/1041.67

=> 0.719

When we round off it to the nearest hundredth then we get the exchange rate of $1 is 0.72

Similarly, now we have to divide the Australian dollar by the US dollar then we get the value of one dollar rate,

=>  1041.67/750

=> 1.388

When we round off it to the nearest hundredth then we get the exchange rate of $1 is 1.39.

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug used for treating insomnia in older subjects. After treatment with the​ drug, 23 subjects had a mean wake time of 92.1 min and a standard deviation of 40.5 min. Assume that the 23 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 98​% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments. Does the result indicate whether the treatment is​ effective?

Answers

A 98​% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the wake times for a population with the drug treatments is

70.9 min < x-bar < 113.3 min

Yes, the result indicate that the treatment is​ effective

How to get the confidence interval

Confidence interval gives the probability that the unknown parameter will fall within a stated range

The confidence interval is constructed using the formula

confidence interval = x-bar ± z(s/√n)

Definition of variables

mean, x-bar = 92.1 min

standard deviation, s = 40.5 min

sample size, n = 23

confidence level = 98%

z score, z

For sample size less than 30, n < 30. t scores are used

degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 23 - 1 =22

t score for 98% confidence level and dt of 22 = 2.509

substituting into the formula

= x-bar ± t(s/√n)

= 92.1 ± 2.509 (40.5 / √23)

= 92.1 ± 21.188

= 70.9112 < x-bar < 113.288  

Effectiveness of the treatment

when a test a test more than 2 standard deviations away from mean it is considered unusual. The usual range is

= 92.1 ± 2 * 40.5

= 11.5 < x-bar < 173.5

You want to know the original price of a suit on sale for $331.20, if that price represents a 64% discount.

Discounted price

The discounted price is found by subtracting the amount of the discount from the original price. That amount is the product of the original price and the rate of the discount.

  discounted price = price - (discount)·(price)

  discounted price = price · (1 - discount)

The the original price is ...

Option (c)

the transformation is given as g(x)-3

(g(-x) - 3) =  3(-x)³ + (-x) - 3 = -3x³-x-3

-(g(x) - 3) = -{(3x³ + x) -3} = -3x³ - x +3

So, so , this is not an odd function

Option (d)

the transformation is given as g(-x)

g(-(-x)) = g(x) = 3x³+x

-g(-x) = -(3(-x)³ + (-x)) = -(-3x³ - x) = 3x³+x

so , this is odd function .

Therefore, the odd transformations are -g(x)   , g(2x)  and g(–x) ,

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

The function g(x)=3x³+x is an odd function. Which transformation of g(x) would result in odd functions? Check all that apply

(a) -g(x)

(b) g(2x)

(c) g(x) − 3

(d) g(–x)

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (4,6) and (8,-6)

Answers

The equation of the perpendicular bisector for the line is y = 1/3(x) - 2

How to determine the equation of the perpendicular bisector?

Given: the endpoints of the line (4,6) and (8,-6)

The bisector of the line will divide the line into two i.e. the bisector will be at the point of the line.

The coordinate of the midpoint can be calculated using the formula below:

Xm = (X1 +X2)/2  and Ym = (Y1 +Y2)/2

Where X1 = 4, Y1 =6 and X2= 8, Y2= -6

Xm = (4+8)/ 2 = 12/2 = 6  and Ym = (6+(-6))/2 = 0/2 = 0

Thus, midpoint(6, 0)

slope  = y2-y1 / x2-x1

Thus, the slope of the line segment (m₁)  = -6-6 / 8-4 = -12/4 = -3

When the two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slope is -1 i.e.

m₁ × m₂ = -1

where m₁ and m₂ represent the slope of the lines

Let the slope of the bisector be  m₂

-3 × m₂ = -1

m₂ = 1/3

Equation of perpendicular bisector with coordinate (6,0):

y - 0 = 1/3(x-6)

y = 1/3(x-6)

y = 1/3(x) - 2

Therefore, the equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment is y = 1/3(x) - 2
