3 math questions multiple choice

Answers

Answer 1

1) the equation is:

[tex]2y+x=4[/tex]

So we can rewrite the equation as a slope intercept so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2y=-x+4 \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the slope is -1/2

2) the equation is:

[tex]3x-2y=5[/tex]

Now we evaluete the coordinates to see which one is not on the line so for (1,-1)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(1)-2(-1)=5 \\ 3+2=5 \\ 5=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So is on the line

for (-1,-4)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(-1)-2(-4)=5 \\ -3+8=5 \\ 5=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So it is on the line

for (3,2)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(3)-2(2)=5 \\ 9-4=5 \\ 5=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So it is on the line

Finally for (1,2)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3(1)-2(2)=5 \\ 3-4=5 \\ -1\ne5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So (1,2) is not on the line

3) if the slope is -2 and goes to the point (3,-1) we can use the equation of a line to find the intercept so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-2x+b \\ -1=-2(3)+b \\ -1=-6+b \\ -1+6=b \\ 5=b \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the intercept is 5 so the equation is:

[tex]y=-2x+5[/tex]

The equation that would represent the gold medals won by the United States is 1 + 4F = 7 + F.

The gold medals won by France is 2.

The gold medals won by the United State is 9.

How many gold medals were won by each country?

The equation that would represent the gold medals won by the United States would be a linear function. A linear function is a function that has a single variable that is raised to the power of one. A linear equation is a straight line that slopes either upward or downward when drawn on a coordinate plane.

The equation that represents the gold medals won by the United States is:

1 + ( 4 x F) = 7 + F

1 + 4F = 7 + F

In order to determine the value of F, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms together: 4F - F = 7 - 1

Add similar terms: 3F = 6

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 : F = 6 / 3

Write an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-4,-6) (5,-6)

Answers

The equation of the line passing through  (-4,-6), (5,-6) will be y = -6

In the given question, it is stated that the line passes through points  (-4,-6), and (5,-6). We need to find out an equation of the line that satisfies the given condition.

Firstly, we will need to find out the slope of the line. We can find the slope by using the point-slope form which is represented by:

=> [tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]

Putting values (x₁, y₁) =  (-4,-6) and (x₂, y₂) = (5,-6) we get:

=> [tex]m = \frac{-6+ 6 }{5+ 4 }[/tex]

=> m = 0

We get slope m = 0. Now, putting the value of slope into the point-slope form and taking (x₁, y₁) =  (-4,-6), we get values:

=> y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

=> y + 6 = 0(x + 4)

=> y = -6

Hence, we get the equation of line y = -6

What was the original price of the trainers?

Answers

In a sale, if the normal prices are reduced by 10% and David bought a pair of trainers in the sale for £36 then the marked price of these trainers was £40.

What is original price?

Original price is said to be as the price that was fixed by the MSRP (i.e said to be the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price).

In most of the case scenario, the original price would taken to be as always lower than the current price and then also in some other cases, original price and current price can be taken as the same.

How do you calculate the original price?

First you have to convert the total percent discount to a decimal by dividing by 100% . Step 2: Set up the equation P=(1−d)x P = ( 1 – d ) x to find the original price of the item where P is the sale price, d is the discount as a decimal, and x is the original price of the item.

The selling price, may be that of a product or a service, is said to be as the customer or client’s final price

How do you find the original price from a discounted price calculator?

To calculate the exact original price of a selected item, you have to divide the sale price by the value of 1 minus the entire value of the percentage off and then divided by 100.

interior and exterior triangle angles

Answers

Answer:

∠ GHI = 17°

Step-by-step explanation:

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ HIJ is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ HJI = ∠ GHI + ∠ IGH , that is

7x - 18 = 2x - 3 + 2x + 15

7x - 18 = 4x + 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

3x - 18 = 12 ( add 18 to both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

Then

∠ GHI = 2x - 3 = 2(10) - 3 = 20 - 3 = 17°

What is the graph of 5y- 15x =30

Answers

A graph of this linear function (y = 3x + 6) is shown in the image attached below.

What is a graph?

A graph can be defined as a type of chart that is commonly used for the graphical representation of data on both the horizontal line (x-axis) and vertical line (y-axis) of a cartesian coordinate.

Next, we would simplify the given linear function by dividing all through by 5 as follows:

5y - 15x = 30

5y/5 - 15x/5 = 30/5

y - 3x = 6

Rearranging the linear function, we have:

y = 3x + 6

In this context, we can reasonably and logically deduce that only the graph of a proportional relationship such as a linear function is always characterized by a straight line with all of the data points passing through the origin (0, 0).

In conclusion, a graph which represents the given linear function does not show a proportional relationship between the value of x and y.

You are flying in an airplane on vacation. You have been told that there are
less molecules in a cubic meter of air the higher in altitude you go.
a. There are 1025 molecules in a cubic meter of air at sea level and 1023
molecules at an altitude of 33 km. How many more molecules are there at
sea level?
b. How many more molecules would there be if you went to an altitude of 50 km
where there are 1020 molecules?

Answers

2 more molecules are there at sea level compared to at an altitude of 33Km and 5 more molecules are there at  sea level compared to at an altitude of 50Km.

We have been told that there are less molecules in a cubic meter of air the higher in altitude we will go.

Part : A

Number of molecules at sea level = 1025 molecules

Number of molecules at an altitude of 33 km = 1023 molecules

Difference between number of molecules at sea level and number of molecules at an altitude of 33 km =  1025 - 1023 = 2 molecules

Part : B

Number of molecules at sea level = 1025 molecules

Number of molecules at an altitude of 50 km = 1020 molecules

Difference between number of molecules at sea level and number of molecules at an altitude of 50 km =  1025 - 1020 = 5 molecules.

So, we can conclude that  2 molecules are more at sea level compared to at an altitude of 33Km and 5 molecules are more  at sea level compared to at an altitude of 50Km.

The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 1 cm longer than twice the shorter side and is 2 cm longer than the other side.

Find the perimeter of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter is 40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be:

Hypotenuse = a,Short leg = b,Long leg = c.

According to question are given:

a = 2b + 1 ⇒ b = (a - 1)/2,a = c + 2  ⇒ c = a - 2.

Use Pythagorean to find the length of hypotenuse:

a² = b² + c²a² = [(a - 1)/2]² + (a - 2)²a² = (a² - 2a + 1)/4 + a² - 4a + 40 =  (a² - 2a + 1)/4 - 4a + 4a² - 2a + 1 - 16a + 16 = 0a² - 18a + 17 = 0a² - a - 17a + 17 = 0a(a - 1) - 17(a - 1) = 0(a - 1)(a - 17) = 0a - 1 = 0 and a - 17 = 0a = 1 and a = 17

The first option is discarded, as all sides should be positive. With a = 1 we get negative value for c.

So a = 17 cm.

Find the other sides:

b = (17 - 1)/2 = 8 cmc = 17 - 2 = 15 cm

Find the perimeter:

P = a + b + c = 17 + 8 + 15 = 40 cm

Answer:

40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

where:

a and b are the legs of the right triangle.c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Let a be the shorter leg.

If the hypotenuse is 1 cm longer than twice the shorter side then:

[tex]\implies c = 2a + 1[/tex]

If the hypotenuse is 2 cm longer than the other side then:

[tex]\implies c = b + 2[/tex]

Equate the two expressions for c and solve for b:

[tex]\implies b+2=2a+1[/tex]

[tex]\implies b=2a-1[/tex]

Substitute the expression for c involving a, and the expression for b involving a, into Pythagoras Theorem and solve for a:

[tex]\implies a^2+(2a-1)^2=(2a+1)^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies a^2+4a^2-4a+1=4a^2+4a+1[/tex]

[tex]\implies a^2-4a=4a[/tex]

[tex]\implies a^2-8a=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies a(a-8)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=0, \quad a=8[/tex]

Since the length of a side cannot be zero, a = 8.

The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the distance around the outside.   Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its sides:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \implies \textsf{Perimeter}&=a+b+c\\&=a+(2a-1)+(2a+1)\\&=5a\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute the found value of a into the expression for the perimeter:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \implies \textsf{Perimeter}&=5(8)\\&=40\sf \; cm\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 40 cm.

Jenna and Julia also receive a $100 bonus from their bosses. Which expression represents how much money all three women make together, given they work the same number of weeks?

Answers

The expression which represents how much money all three women make together, given they work the same number of weeks is (1,650w + 200)

Algebraic expression

Number of weeks = wAmount Jenna make per week = $450Amount Julia make per week = $450Bonus Jenna receives = $100Bonus Julia receives = $100Amount Sara makes per week = $750

Total mount Jenna makes = 450w + 100Total mount Julia makes = 450w + 100Total mount Sara makes = 750w

Total amount all three women make together = (450w + 100) + (450w + 100) + (750w)

= 450w + 100 + 450w + 100 + 750w

= 1,650w + 200

If the data in a histogram is roughly symmetrical, what does that tell us about the mean and median?

Answers

To answer this question, first we need to properly understand the definition of median and mean, and also understand what it means to be "roughly symmetrical".

Let's start with the definition of median.

"the median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample"

If we have an odd amount of elements in our dataset, the median is literally the middle element of our set.

Example:

[tex]\lbrace1,1,1,2,3,4,7,10,52\rbrace[/tex]

We have four elements below 3, and four elements above 3, therefore, the median of this dataset is 3.

If we have an even amount of elements, the median is the mean between the two elements in the middle.

Example:

[tex]\lbrace1,1,1,1,2,2,7,15\rbrace[/tex]

The elements in the middle are 1 and 2. This means our median is

[tex]\frac{1+2}{2}=1.5[/tex]

1.5.

Now, let's understand the mean.

By definition, The Arithmetic Mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers, given by the sum of all elements divided by the amount of elements.

Examples:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \lbrace1,2,3\rbrace \\ \bar{x}=\frac{1+2+3}{3}=2 \\ \lbrace1,1,3,5,7,9,9\rbrace \\ \bar{x}=\frac{1+1+3+5+7+9+9}{7}=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now that we know what mean and median exactly are, let's try to understand what it means to be "roughly symmetrical".

When talking about histograms, Close to symmetric means the data are roughly the same in height and location on either side of the center of the histogram.

As the histogram gets closer to symmetric, the mean approaches the middle values, to be more specific, If the histogram is close to symmetric, then the mean and median are close to each other.

Since the statement says "roughly symmetrical" this is the only thing we can claim. If we have more values to the right in our roughly symmetrical distribution, the mean will be a little bit bigger than then median, and if we have more values to the left in our roughly symmetrical distribution, the mean will be a little bit smaller than then median.

What is the quotient of 1.232 x 10⁸ and 3.85 x 10 expressed in scientific notation?

Answers

Answer:

3.2 x 10⁶

Explanation:

Given the quotient:

[tex]\frac{1.232\times10^8}{3.85\times10}[/tex]

We can rewrite the expression by removing the decimals as follows:

[tex]=\frac{1232\times10^{-3}\times10^8}{385\times10^{-2}\times10}[/tex]

Next, we rewrite the powers of 10 so we can cancel out common terms.

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{1232}{385}\times\frac{(10^{-2}\times10^{-1})\times(10\times10^7)}{10^{-2}\times10} \\ \frac{1232}{385}\times10^{-1}\times10^7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Next, express the first fraction in the lowest possible form:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{16\times77}{5\times77}\times10^{-1}\times10^7 \\ =\frac{16}{5}\times10^{-1}\times10^7 \\ =3.2\times10^{-1+7} \\ =3.2\times10^6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
