is the bottom answer correct for this question? :

[tex]a = \sqrt{2(\frac{d-c}{b} )}[/tex]

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

c + 1/2 × a²b = d | - c on both sides

1/2 × a²b = d - c | ×2 on both sides

a²b = 2(d - c) | /b on both sides

a² = (2/b) × (d - c) | sqrt on both sides

a = sqrt(2(d - c)/b)

yes, the given answer is correct.

Jodie aimed to beat Mandy's 74.6-second mark on the obstacle course. She had already spent 10.56 seconds on the ropes and fifty-and-a-fourth seconds ascending the wall. To match the record, we must determine how much time she had remaining.

Jodie's total time for climbing the wall is fifty and one fourth seconds=50.25 seconds

The total time on ropes is 10.56 seconds

The total time she spent is 50.25+10.56=60.81

Left time = Record Time-Spent time

= 74.6-60.81 = 13.79

Hence, Jodie has left 13.79 seconds to match the record.

2. Determine if the following function's width
will be wider, narrower, or standard?
y = 3(x + 5)² + 11

Answers

The function's y = 3(x + 5)² +11 width will be narrower.

What are functions?

In mathematics, a function from a set x to a set y assigns each element of x precisely one element of y. The subsets x and y are referenced to as the function's domain and codomain, correspondingly. A relationship between a number of inputs and one output per input is referred to as a function. Simply described, a function is an association between inputs in which each piece of data is connected to exactly one output. There is a domain and a codomain, or range, for every function. A function is a type of rule that produces one output from one input. y = x² is a good illustration of this. Any information for x yields a single output for y.

A parabola is made narrow by a large positive value of a and wide by a large positive value of a that is close to 0.

Compare the given equation y = 3(x + 5)² + 11 with y = x² + c

So, a = 3

Therefore, the function will be narrower.

Find a1 if d = -2 and a21 = 18.

The answer is either 58 or 60

Answers

For the given values of the arithmetic sequence d = -2 , a₂₁ = 18,then the value of a₁ = 58.

As given in the question,

Given values of the arithmetic sequence :

Common difference 'd' = -2

Twenty first term a₂₁ = 18

Formula for the nth term of arithmetic sequence with common difference 'd' and first term a₁ is given by:

aₙ = a₁ + (n -1) d

Substitute the value n =21 , a₂₁ =18 and d = -2 in the above equation we get,

⇒a₂₁ = a₁ + (21 -1)(-2)

⇒18 = a₁ + 20(-2)

⇒ a₁ = 18 +40

⇒a₁ = 58

What is a domain?

In Mathematics, a domain can be defined as the set of all real numbers for which a particular function is defined.

This ultimately implies that, a domain is the set of all possible input numerical values or numbers (x-values) to a function and the domain of a graph comprises all the input numerical values which are located on the x-coordinate.

In order to determine the domain of this function, we would equate the x-value to zero and then evaluate as follows:

A concrete mixture contains 4 cubic yards of cement for every 20 cubic yards of grit. If a mason orders 50 cubic yards of cement, how much grit (in cubic yards) should he order if he is to use all of the cement?

Answers

The mason should order 250 cubic yards of grit to use all the cement.

It is given that the mixture has 20 cubic yards of grit for 4 cubic yards of cement.

So the unit rate for the number of cubic yards of grit for per unit of cement is given by : 20 ÷ 4 = 5 cubic yards.

Now amount of grit required for 50 cubic yards of cement

= 50 × 5 = 250 cubic yards.

By utilising 1 as the denominator, a unit rate compares two quantities while using the second quantity as the unit of measurement. If someone runs three kilometers in 30 minutes, they have ran one mile.

Miles per minute is a unit of measurement for how far something is moving in a certain amount of time. For unit rate, the quantity value 1 is always used.

Hence he should order about 250 cubic yards in order to use all the cement.

The second triangle is 30°-60°-90° special right triangle with side lengths represented with b-b√3-2b respectively to the angle measures.

In first triangle hypotenuse (the side length represented with a√2) is given as 10√2 so a = 10.

This is also the measure of hypotenuse for the second triangle which is represented with 2b, so b = 5 in this case.

Determine the values of b1, b2, and b3, the sides of the triangular base. Also determine the value of h, the height of the triangular base and l, the length of the prism (the length between the bases).

The sides of the triangular base are:

b1 = 13 in.

b2 = 14 in.

b3 = 15 in.

The triangular base is a right triangle, and so the height is one of our sides. We will use

total surface area = bh + (b1+b2+b3)*l

Given that, Gassama buys some bags of buttons there are 20 buttons or 21 buttons or 22 buttons or 23 buttons in each bag.

What is frequency?

Frequency refers to the number of times an event or a value occurs. A frequency table is a table that lists items and shows the number of times the items occur.

Here,

Number of 20 buttons = 20×x=20x

Number of 21 buttons = 21×5=105

Number of 22 buttons = 22×3=66

Number of 23 buttons = 23×3=69

Total = 20x+105+66+69

20x+105+66+69=280

⇒ 20x+240=280

⇒ 20x=40

⇒ x=2

The first is marked down by ​50%

marked down factor = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

selling price of the first machine = 600 * 0.5 = 300

Similarly the second selling washing machine has mark down of 30%

30% = 0.3

marked down factor = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

selling price of the second washing machine at first mark down

= 600 * 0.7 = 420

second mark down

20% = 0.2

A) 3y=-x+16
B) 3y=x+16
OC) y=-3x+8
D) y=-3x+2
OLD

Answers

Answer:

Option B is perpendicular to y=-3x+4 and goes through point (-1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will look for an equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  The reference line, y=-3x+4, has a slope of -3.  A line perpendicular to this line will have a slope that is the "negative inverse" of the refence lines slope.  In this case, it's slope would be +(1/3).

We could graph each of the equation options and look for one that is perpendicular, but it might be faster to simply rearrnaged the options into standard format of y=mx+b. which we'll do here:

Option   Rearranged Equation   Slope

A) 3y=-x+16

                  y = -(1/3)x+(16/3)           -(1/3)

B) 3y=x+16

                   y = (1/3)x + (16/3)         (1/3)

C) y=-3x+8                                           -3

   

D) y=-3x+2                                            -3

There is only one option that has the required slope to be parallel to the reference equation (y=-3x+4), option B:  y = (1/3)x + (16/3)

Does it go through point (-1,5)?

y = (1/3)x + (16/3)

Enter x = -1 and find 5:

y = (1/3)(-1) + (16/3)

y = (16/3)-(1/3)

y = (15/3) or 5

 Yes, it goes through point (-1,5)

Option B is perpendicular to y=-3x+4 and goes through point (-1,5).

a manufacturing machine has a 5% defect rate. if 7 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that at least one will have a defect?

Answers

The probability of selecting at least one defective item at random is 0.3017.

The probability of an event occurring at least once will be calculated as the complement of the probability of the event never occurring. You can use exponents to multiply the number of events that occurred when calculating this amount.

Defect rate = P(defect) = 0.05

Probability is defined as the required outcome divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

P( at least 1 is defective) = 1 - P(none is defective)

P(not defective) = 1 - P(defective) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

P(none is defective) = P(non defective)^7

P(none defective) = 0.95× 0.95 × 0.95 × 0.95 × 0.95× 0.95× 0.95=0.6983

P(at least one is defective) = 1 - 0.6983 = 0.3017

Therefore, probability of at least one defective item is 0.3017.

Answers

Using a 98% confidence interval, the total number of customers that should be sampled is 87.

What exactly is sample size?

The sample size refers to the number of observations in the data set, and as the sample size increases, the calculated value of population parameters becomes more reliable and true. In other words, as sample size increases, the value of the margin of error decreases.

Given,

Standard deviation σ=300

Confidence level: 0.98

Maximum allowable error: ε=75

The critical value is calculated using the standard normal table at the level of significance (0.02)

The critical value in this case is 2.326.

Sample size is calculated by,

n=((Z[tex]z_{\alpha /2}[/tex])²×σ²))/ε²
