Answer 1

Answer:

Cheryl writes 7 fewer posts than Kevin on a social media site.

Answer the questions to write an algebraic expression. Then evaluate the expression for the given value.

1. Choose a variable to represent the number of posts Kevin writes. Explain why you chose this variable. (2 points)

The expression will be P for "of posts Kevin writes." 

2. Which operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) applies to this situation? Justify your choice. (2 points)

 The operation I will use is subtraction so P-7.

3. Use your variable and the operation you identified to write an expression for the number of posts Cheryl wrote. (3 points)

Subtraction would be the operation and my expression would be ( P-7 ) which would also be ( 21 - 7 )

4. If Kevin wrote 21 posts, how many did Cheryl write? (3 points)

Cheryl wrote 14 posts, because 21 - 7 = 14

Hope this helps <3

Answer 2

1. We have chosen a variable 'x' to represent the number of posts by Kevin.

2. Subtraction applies to this situation.

3. The number of posts written by Cheryl is (x - 7).

4.  If Kevin wrote 21 posts, Cheryl wrote 14 posts.

What is an equation?

An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,

An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.

Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.

Let, Kevin writes 'x' number of posts,

Therefore, Cheryl writes (x - 7) posts.

We could have chosen any letters for the number of posts Kevin writes,

And as Cheryl writes fewer posts than Keving we subtracted the number.

If Kevin writes 21 posts, 'x' is 21, And hence Cheryl has written,

(21 -7).

= 14 posts.

1. Aubrey is driving on a long road trip. She currently has 14 gallons of gas in her car. Each hour that she drives, her car uses up 0.75 gallons of gas. How much gas would be in the tank after driving for 6 hours? How much gas would be left after tt hours?

2. Find the sum of -8x^2+3 and -9x^2+3x-3−

3.Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form:

(-3x-5)(-x^2+x-5)

Answers

Answer:

See solutions below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Total amount of gallons = 14 gallons

If she uses up 0.75 gallons of gas each hour then;

1 hour = 0.75gallons

after driving 6 hours, amount of gallons used will be;

6 hours = x

Divide both expressions

1/6 = 0.75/x

x = 6 * 0.75

x = 4.5gallons

Amount of gas left = 14 - 4.5 = 9.5 gallons of gas

Hence 9.5 gallons of gas will be left after 6 hrs

Similarly;

1 hour = 0.75gallons

after driving t hours, amount of gallons used will be;

t hours = x

x = 0.75t

Amount of gas left after t hours = (14 - 0.75t) gallons of gas

2) We are to find the sum of -8x^2+3 and -9x^2+3x-3

-8x^2+3 + (-9x^2+3x-3)

= 8x^2+3 -9x^2+3x-3

Collect like terms

=  8x^2 -9x^2+3x + 3-3

= -x^2 + 3x

Hence the sum is -x²+3x

3) Expressing in standard form;

(-3x-5)(-x^2+x-5)

Expand

= 3x³-3x²+15x+5x²-5x+25

Collect like terms

= 3x³-3x²+5x²+15x-5x+25

= 3x³+2x² + 10x + 25

Hence the product in polynomial form is 3x³+2x² + 10x + 25

The owner of a ballroom dance studio has 8 locations in the Houston area. Each studio is a 30 foot by 30 ft. room. If each couple requires 72 inch by 72 inch area, what is a reasonable estimate for the total number of people the dance company can accommodate in the city of Houston for all of it's locations? ​

Answers

Answer: 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Area required by each couple = 72 inch by 72 inch

= 6 feet by 6 feet   [ 1 feet = 12 inches and [tex]72\text{ inches}=\dfrac{72}{12}\text{ feet}=6 \text{ feet}[/tex]]

= 36 square feet

Area in each studio = 30 ft by 30 ft = 900 square feet

Then, Area of 8 studios in Houstan = 8 x (900 feet) = 7200feet

Total couple the dance company can accommodate in the city of Houston for all of it's locations = [tex]\dfrac{7200}{36}=200[/tex]

Total people = 2 x (Total couples)= 2 x 200=400

Hence, a reasonable estimate for the total number of people the dance company can accommodate in the city of Houston for all of it's locations = 400

3 points) A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 240 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material that costs 4 dollars per foot, and the material for the fourth side costs 13 dollars per foot. Find the dimensions of the enclosure that is most economical to construct.

Answers

Answer:

For the rectangular area, we will have a length L, and a width W, such that the two sides with measure L and one with measure W will be made with the material of $4 per ft, and the other side with measure W will be made with the material that costs $13 per ft.

Then the total cost will be:

C = (L + L + W)*$4 + W*$13.

And we know that the area is equal to 240 ft^2, then:

240ft^2 = L*W

To solve this, the first step is to isolate one of the variables in the second equation. I will isolate L:

L = (240ft^2)/W

Now we can replace this in the first equation to get:

C =  ( 2*(240ft^2)/W + W)*$4 + W*$13.

C = $4*480ft^2/W + W*$17

Now we want to find the minimum of this function, then we need to look at the zero of the first derivative of C:

C' = - ($4*480 ft^2)/W + W*$17 = 0

- ($4*480 ft^2) + $17*W^2 = 0

Let's solve this for W:

$17*W^2 =  ($4*480 ft^2)

W^2 = ($4*480 ft^2)/$17 = 112.94ft^2

W = √(112.94 ft^2) = 10.63 ft.

Then the width must be 10.64 ft, and the length can be obtained with the equation:

L*W = 240 ft^2

L*10.64 ft = 240 ft^2

L = (240 ft^2)/10.64ft = 22.56 ft

The width is 10.64 ft, and the length is 22.56 ft

For all of these you want to multiply the first thingy (Ex. x) in the first parenthesis by the first in the second parenthesis (Ex. 2x) plus the first one in the first (Ex. x) times the second one in the second (Ex. -1) plus the second one in the first one (Ex. 7) times the first one in the second parenthesis (Ex. 2x)  plus the second one in the first parenthesis (Ex. 7) times the second one in the second (Ex. -1)

A.) (x + 7)(2x - 1) = (2x * x) + (-1 * x) + (7 * 2x) + (7 * -1) = 2x^2 -x + 14x - 7 = 2x^2 + 13x - 7

B.) (3x + 4)(x - 5) = (3x * x) + (3x * -5) + (4 * x) + (4 * -5) = 3x^2 - 15x + 4x - 20 = 3x^2 - 11x - 20

C.) (y + 9) (y + 4) = (y * y) + (4 * y) + (9 * y) + (9 * 4) = y^2 + 4y + 9y + 36 = y^2 + 13y + 36

D.) (b - 12)(b - 3) = (b * b) + (b * -3) + (-12 * b) + (-12 * -3) = b^2 - 3b - 12b + 36 = b^2 - 15b + 36

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.

A Seattle department store samples 89 items sold in January and found that 10 of the items were returned.

This means that [tex]n = 89, X = \frac{10}{89} = 0.1124[/tex]

7% of all merchandise sold in the United States gets returned.

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.07[/tex]

For a proportion, the standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)} = \sqrt{0.07*(1-0.07)} = 0.2551[/tex]

Test statistic:

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

What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.Extra! Extra! Backyard BirdingMany schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.Which of the following best states the main idea of the article "A Big Year"?A)"Big Year" birders compete for honor, love, and record-setting.B)"Big Year" birders get very competitive about seeing rare birds.C)"Big Year" birders have a list of important birds to see.D)"Big Year" birders compete to see more birds than others. is y=x^8 an exponential function who is the Prime Minister of the great "India" Which of the following relations is a function?O A{(-1, - 4), (-1,0), (- 1,5), (- 1, 7), (-1,9)B.{(-2, - 4), (-1,7), (1, - 1), (1, 1), (3,9)}C.{(-4,9), (- 3, 1), (- 2, 3), (- 2, 12), (0, 6) }D.{(0, - 4), (1, - 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (4, - 4)} O Beth walked 10 7/8 miles one week. she walked 2 1/4 fewer miles the following week.
