Given that f(x)= k/x+1 + 6/x+2 and f(5)=8, Find the value of k.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]k=\frac{300}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that f(5)=8, we can plug in x=5 and set that equal to 8 to find k.

[tex]8=\frac{k}{5+1} +\frac{6}{5+2}[/tex]              [add denominator]

[tex]8=\frac{k}{6} +\frac{6}{7}[/tex]                     [get common denominator]

[tex]8=\frac{7k}{42} +\frac{36}{42}[/tex]                  [add]

[tex]8=\frac{7k+36}{42}[/tex]                     [multiply both sides by 42]

[tex]336=7k+36[/tex]              [subtract both sides by 36]

[tex]300=7k[/tex]                      [divide both sides by 7]

[tex]k=\frac{300}{7}[/tex]

Now, we know that [tex]k=\frac{300}{7}[/tex].

All sale items are marked an additional 10% off the sale price. If a coat that originally costs $110 is on sale for 25% off, what is the new sale price? Is this a reduction of 35% off the original price

Answers

Answer:

The new sales price is $74.25

Step-by-step explanation:

110 x 0.25 = 27.5

110 - 27.5 = 82.5

82.5 x 0.10 = 8.25

82.5 - 8.25 = 74.25

Simply discounting 35% off the original price does not work in this specific problem.

A scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1 cm to 80 m. If the actual width of the lake is 1,000 m, what is the width of the lake on the scale drawing? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: 12.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation would be:

1:80

?:1000

So you'll just have the cross multiply the equation above to find ? ( scale drawing lake). It'll be 1000*1/80 which will be 12.5 cm.

                               

The width of the lake on the  scale drawing is 12.50 cm

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

The scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

Dimension of the scale drawing = original dimensions / scale of the drawing

The scale is 1 cm to 80m

Thus, the width of the lake on the  drawing = 1000 / 80 = 12.50cm

9. Apply The number of people in the United States who are at least 100
years old grew about 66% from 1980 to 2010. Write that information as a
conditional statement.

Answers

Answer: If in 1980 we had N people who were at least 100 years old, then in 2010 we had N*1.66 people who were at least 100 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

A really simple conditional statement can be written as:

If P, then Q

Where P is the hypothesis, and Q is the conclusion.

In this case, we know that:

"The number of people with age equal or larger than 100 years old, grew about 66% from 1980 to 2010"

This means that if in 1980 we had N people in that age range, in 2010 we have N*(166%/100%) = N*1.66

Then we can write a conditional statement:

If in 1980 we had N people who were at least 100 years old, then in 2010 we had N*1.66 people who were at least 100 years old.

the quotient of 15 and y

Answers

Answer:

Because we are working with a variable (y) and we don't know what number it represents, we can only write down what the calculation would be, but we can't get the actual number answer.

15/y

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the answer to a division.

The statement "the quotient of 15 and y" can be written as 15/y

We have,

The statement "the quotient of 15 and y".

This can be written as,

15/y

The expression "15/y" represents the quotient of 15 and y.

When you divide 15 by y, you are calculating the quotient or the result of the division.

The numerator (15) represents the dividend, which is the number being divided, and the denominator (y) represents the divisor, which is the number by which you divide.

Thus,

The statement "the quotient of 15 and y" can be written as,

Answer: Choice F) [tex]x \le -5[/tex]

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

Explanation:

One long rectangle represents x. Four of them represent 4x

One tiny unshaded square represents a unit 1. Specifically this value is positive. We have 2 columns and 6 rows, so there are 2*6 = 12 tiny squares.

So the stuff in the first box (the four long rectangles and the 12 tiny unshaded squares) represent the expression 4x+12

The stuff in the second box is -8 since we have 8 shaded squares each shaded square being -1.

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

The inequality we need to solve is [tex]4x+12 \le -8[/tex]

We'll subtract 12 from both sides, then divide both sides by 4 to fully isolate x

This is what the steps would look like:

[tex]4x+12 \le -8\\\\\\4x+12-12 \le -8-12 \ \text{ subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\\\4x \le -20\\\\\\\frac{4x}{4} \le \frac{-20}{4} \ \text{ Divide both sides by 4}\\\\\\x \le -5\\\\\\[/tex]

The inequality sign does not flip since we did not divide both sides by a negative number.

Which number could be used as a counterexample to show that the conjecture
"All multiples of 3 are odd" is false?
12
027
O 33
O 15

Answers

The correct answer is A. 12

Explanation:

In mathematics, odd numbers are those numbers that cannot be divided into 2 without using a decimal number, for example, 13 ÷ 2 = 2.5 (decimal number). This does not occur with even numbers such as 26 because these can be divided into 2 and the result is an integer rather than a decimal (26 ÷ 2 =13).

On the other hand, a counterexample is a situation that shows an exception to the rule. In the rule "All multiples of 3 are odd", one counterexample is the number 12 because this is an even number (12 ÷2 = 6). Moreover, this number is a multiply of 3 as 3 can be multiplied by 4 to obtain 12, which shows multiplies of 3 can be even numbers.

simply: -2 1/3 - (-10 1/6)

Answers

Answer: 7.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

−8/3≈−2.666666667

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 1/3 - (-10 1/6)

Multiply −2 times 2/1=0.5.

−1−10×( 1/6 )≈−2.666666667

Multiply 10 and 1/6≈0.166666667 to get 10/6≈1.666666667

−1− 10/6 ≈−2.666666667

Reduce the fraction 10/6 ≈1.666666667 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

−1−5/3 ≈−2.666666667

Convert −1 to fraction −3/3 =−1.

− 3/3−5/3≈−2.666666667

Since −3/3 =−1 and 5/3 ≈1.666666667 have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

−3−5/3 ≈−2.666666667

Subtract 5 from −3 to get −8.

-8/3=−2.666666667

Find the distance between a point (6, 9) and a horizontal line at y = 5. A) 4 B) 11 C) 15 D) 14

Answers

Answer: A.) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Horizontal line y = 5

Point (6, 9)

Distance between point (6, 9) and horizontal line y = 5

For point (6,9) ; x1 = 6, y1 = 9

Horizontal line : y = 5

Hence, distance between the two points will be the difference between the the y values :

y1 - y = 9 - 5 = 4

Hence, the distance between a point (6, 9) and a horizontal line at y = 5 is 4
