The sum of four consecutive odd integers is –72. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the values of the four integers.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72-21, -19, -17, -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the even integer between the middle two odd integers. Then the sum of the four odd integers is ...

  (x -3) +(x -1) +(x +1) +(x +3) = -72

  4x = -72

  x = -18

The four integers are -21, -19, -17, -15.

_____

Additional comment

You could let x represent one of the integers. Often, people choose to let it represent the least of them. Then the equation becomes x +(x+2) +(x+4) +(x+6) = -72, so 4x = -84 and x = -21. This introduces a "subtract 12" step in the solution process that is unnecessary if x is chosen to be the average of the integers.

As the average, x is the sum divided by the number of them, so you know x=-72/4 = -18 immediately. Then you just have to find the nearest two odd integers below and above -18. You can do the whole problem mentally.

There are 92 students enrolled in an French course and 248 students enrolled in a Spanish course. Construct a ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish course. Write your answer as a decimal, rounded to the thousandths place.

Answers

Answer:

0.371

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish course rounded to the thousandths place is 0.371.

What is the ratio?

A ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. If a and b are to objects then ratio of a to the b is given as a : b.

Now it is given that,

Students enrolled in a French course = 92

Students enrolled in a Spanish course = 248

So, Ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish = Students enrolled in a French course / Students enrolled in a Spanish course

Ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish = 92/248

Ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish = 0.370967

To rounded to the thousandths place, the digit at the thousandth place is 0 and right to it is 9 which is greater than 5 so round up the place value at thousandths place.

Ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish = 0.371

Thus, the ratio comparing students enrolled in a French course to students enrolled in a Spanish course rounded to the thousandths place is 0.371.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't take the square root of a negative number, so the value "i" is automatically taken out. You're now left with i +/- sqrt(35). The square root of 35 now can either be -7 or 7 because of the +/-, so the final answer is -7i or 7i.

How can Paige share 11 identical apples among 30 of her friends evenly so that no apple is sliced into more than 10 pieces?

Answer: Paige can slice _ apples into _ pieces each and _ apples into _ pieces each.

Answers

Answer:

7 apples into 2 pieces and 4 apples into 4 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

if you split 7 apples into 2 pieces each than you'l have 14 slices. You need 30 though which means you need 16 more. so you split 4 into 4 pieces. and the number of apples we used is 7 and 4 which make up 11. So this answer works

TZ is a midsegment, which of the following statements CANNOT be true

Answers

Answer:

Option C: QT < TR

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangle, we can see that UX bisects RS into two equal parts and so it is a perpendicular bisector.

TZ Is a mid segment and it means that T bisects QR into 2 equal parts as well as QS into 2 equal parts.

Thus;

QT = QR

And QZ = SZ

So Option C is not correct because QT = QR

Answers

Answers:

Choice 2) Angle ABC is bisected by ray BD.

Choice 3) BC = 1/2 AC

Choice 5) 2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

================================================

Explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC, this means that AC is cut in half to form the smaller equal pieces AB and BC

We can then say

AB+BC = AC

BC+BC = AC

2BC = AC

BC = (1/2)*AC

which shows why choice 3 is one of the answers

----------------------

Angle ABD is shown to be 90 degrees. Let's say we didn't know angle DBC is also 90. Lets call it x

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = 180

90 + x = 180

x = 180 - 90

x = 90

So angle DBC is also 90.

We can see that the 180 degree angle (ABC) is cut in half into two smaller 90 degree angles (ABD and DBC). Therefore, angle ABC has been cut in half and that's why choice 2 is another answer.

------------------------

Using the angle addition postulate, we know that,

(angle ABD) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

(angle DBC) + (angle DBC) = angle ABC

2*(angle DBC) = angle ABC

Showing why choice 5 is the third answer.

------------------------

Choice 1 isn't true since ray BD helps form angle DBC.

Choice 4 isn't true because there isn't a tickmark on segment BD to indicate it's the same length as BC.

At a local university the students have been overdosing on caffeine to help them study for exams. However, many students have been getting quite sick from taking too much coffee and cola.
A. How many cups of coffee would be too much and at the dangerous level (3.00 g)? You know that coffee contains 21.5 mg caffeince per ounce and a cup is 8 oz.
B. How many cans of cola would be too much and at the dangerous level? You know that cola contains 4.20 mg per ounce and a soft drink can contain 12.0 oz.

Answers

Answer:

A) Hence, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 17.4 Cups.

B) Here, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 59.5 Colas.

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

In 1 cup coffee  =[tex]8\times21.5mg= 172.0 mg[/tex]

Hence one cup of coffee contains 172 mg of caffeine. The risky level is 3000mg.

Therefore, the number of coffee cups that are risky

                                                         [tex]= 3000/172\\ \\=17.4 cups[/tex]

B)

[tex]1 cola=12\times4.2mg\\\\ = 50.4mg / day[/tex]

Hence, one can cola contains 50.4 mg of caffeine.

The dangerous level is 3000 mg.

Therefore, the number of cola cans that are risky [tex]=3000/50.4= 59.5[/tex] cola is risky.

15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..

The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.  

The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

Answers

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is [tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Test if the mean is equal to 5:

This means that the null hypothesis is [tex]\mu = 5[/tex]

A simple random sample of wrist breadths of 40 women has a mean of 5.07 cm. The population standard deviation is 0.33 cm.

This means that [tex]n = 40, X = 5.07, \sigma = 0.33[/tex]

Find the value of the test statistic?

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{5.07 - 5}{\frac{0.33}{\sqrt{40}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

The value of the test statistic is [tex]z = 1.34[/tex]

Finding x in terms of y from eq. (ii) :-

x + 5y = 4

x = 4 - 5y

5(4 - 5y) + 2y = -3

20 - 25y + 2y = -3

-23y = - 23

y = 1

Find the measure of of RA.

Answers

Answer:

RA = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles ( 2 equal sides ) , then LU is a perpendicular bisector , so

AU = RU , that is

4r = 18 - 2r ( add 2r to both sides )

6r = 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

r = 3

Then

RA = 18 - 2r + 4r = 18 + 2r = 18 + 2(3) = 18 + 6 = 24

Then we find the y-intercept or b of the equation.
(-12,-8). (-17,-16)
y=mx+b. y=mx+b
-8= 8/5*-12+b. -16=8/5*-17+b
-8= -96/5+b. -16=-136/5+b

7.109) The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share. A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken. a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Answers

Answer:

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they choose the leading brand, or they do not. The probability of a customer choosing the leading brand is independent of any other customer, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The leading brand of dishwasher detergent has a 30% market share.

This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]

A sample of 25 dishwasher detergent customers was taken.

This means that [tex]n = 25[/tex]

a. What is the probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand?

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{25} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{24} = 0.0014[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{23} = 0.0074[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{22} = 0.0243[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{21} = 0.0572[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{20} = 0.1030[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{19} = 0.1472[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{25,7}.(0.3)^{7}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.1712[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{25,8}.(0.3)^{8}.(0.7)^{17} = 0.1651[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{25,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{16} = 0.1336[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{25,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{15} = 0.0916[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0001 + 0.0014 + 0.0074 + 0.0243 + 0.0572 + 0.1030 + 0.1472 + 0.1712 + 0.1651 + 0.1336 + 0.0916 = 0.9021[/tex]

0.9021 = 90.21% probability that 10 or fewer customers choose the leading brand
