If x=a/b, a does not equal b, and b does not equal 0, find the value of (a+b)/(a-b) in terms of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x+1}{x-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x = [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by b )

bx = a

substitute a = bx into the expression

[tex]\frac{a+b}{a-b}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{bx+b}{bx-b}[/tex] ← factor out b from each term on the numerator and denominator

= [tex]\frac{b(x+1)}{b(x-1)}[/tex] ← cancel b on numerator / denominator

= [tex]\frac{x+1}{x-1}[/tex]

Terry bought 2 shirts for $14 each, 2 pair of socks for $2.99 a pair, and a pair of slacksfor $25.00. The sales tax rate is 6.5%. How much did he pay? (Enter the dollar amountonly. Round to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Terry bought 2 shirts for $14 each.

That is $28 on shirts

2 pair of socks for $2.99

That is $5.98 on socks

A pair of slacks for $25

The sales tax rate is 6.5% or 6.5/100 or 0.065

We want to know how much he paid.

Adding all the items he bought together, we have:

$28 + $5.98 + $25

= $58.98

Next, we apply the sales tax rate.

Take 6.5% of $58.98

This is: $58.98 * 0.065

= $3.83

Finally, add the sales tax with the amount we got

$58.98 + $3.83

= $62.81

He paid $62.81 in total

square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

Answers

The width of the plywood = 23/8 ft

The two rectangular pieces of plywood had equal widths.

The length of first rectangular piece = 6 ft

The length of second rectangular piece = 5 1/2 ft = 11/2 ft

The two pieces are joined to make a single rectangular stage.

Then the total length of the stage = 6 + 11/2 = 23/2 ft

Now area of the rectangular stage = 66 1/8 = 529/8 square feet.

⇒ length x width = 529/8

⇒ 23/2 x width = 529/8

width = 529/8 x 2/23 = 23/4 ft

Let 'x' be the width of a rectangular plywood.

Then 2x = width of the stage

⇒ 2x = 23/4

⇒ x = 23/8 ft

Hence width of the plywood = 23/8 ft

in the first week of July, a record 1,020 people went to the local swimming pool. In the second week, 100 fewer
people went to the pool than in the first week. In the third week, 135 more people went to the pool than in the second week.
In the fourth week, 137 fewer people went to the pool than in the third week. What is the percent decrease in the number of
people who went to the pool over these four weeks?

Answers

With the concepts of percentages and calculations, the percent decrease in the number of people who went to the pool over these four weeks is 10%

What is the way to solve percentages?

Take the base as 100 and convert the percentage to numbers and then proceed with the same.

Now, the initial number of people in the local swimming pool is 1020, after which 100 fewer went, hence 920 people

Now, 135 people more people need to be added, thus 1055 people.

Now, 137 fewer people went, so 918 people went to the pool in the four weeks.

Therefore percent decrease = Difference/No. of people in the first week * 100

Thus, the percent decrease =  102/1020*100=10%

Hence 10% of people went less in the fourth week as compared to the first week.

Point C(6,-2)is dilated from the origin by scale factor r =3/4.what are the coordinates of point c

Answers

the coordinates of point c is (9/2, -3/2)

Explanation:

The original coordinate = C(6, -2)

scale factor r =3/4

New coordinate (c) = scale factor × the original coordinate

c = 3/4(6, -2)

c = (3/4×6, -2×3/4)

c = (18/4, -6/4)

c = (9/2, -3/2)

Hence, the coordinates of point c is (9/2, -3/2)

a. What is the probability of getting an even number?
b. What is the probability of getting a factor of 6?

Answers

The probability of getting an even number is 1/2 while the probability of getting a factor of 6 is 1/6

How to determine the probabilities?

The probability of an even number

From the question, the sample space of the number cube is given as

Space = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

The above means that

Sample size, n = 6 ---- i.e. the number of observations

Number of even numbers, x = 3

The probability of getting an even number is then calculated as

P(Even) = Number of even numbers/Sample size

This gives

P(Even) = 3/6 = 1/2

The probability of a factor of 6

From the question, the sample space of the number cube is given as

Space = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

The above means that

Sample size, n = 6 ---- i.e. the number of observations

Number of factor of 6, x = 1

The probability of getting a factor of 6 is then calculated as

P(factor) = Number of factor of 6/Sample size

This gives

P(factor) = 1/6

Hence, the probability is 1/2 and 1/6

Answers

The distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house is 37.40 miles or if rounded off to the nearest tenth, it will be 40 miles using the estimation concept.

As per the question statement, Noor’s family is meeting her grandparents at a restaurant and the restaurant is 24.5 miles from Noor’s house but this is 65.5% of the distance from Noor’s house to her grandparents’ house.

We are supposed to find the distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house. We will use the concept of estimation.

Distance between Noor's house and restaurant = 24.5 miles

Let distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house be "x" miles.

So the distance between grandparent's house and restaurant = x - 24.5

Now it is given that 24.5 miles is 65.5% of the distance from Noor’s house to her grandparents’ house.

So, 65.5% of x = 24.5

(65.5*x)/100 = 24.5

65.5*x = 2450

x = 2450 / 65.5

x = 37.40 miles

If rounded off to the nearest tenth mile, we get

x = 40 miles.

So, the distance between Noor's house and her grandparent's house is 37.40 miles or if rounded off to the nearest tenth, it will be 40 miles.

A train of length 150 metres entered a straight tunnel of length s metres. It took the entire crossing of the tunnel in a time of 15 seconds. Find the length of the tunnel if the train moves with uniform velocity equals 90 km./hr

Answers

The tunnel measures 225 meters in length.

Uniform velocity: What is it?

Velocity is the measure of how quickly an object's position changes over time and in relation to a frame of reference. A body moves across space with uniform velocity when it does so with an equal displacement per unit of time.

Velocity is equal to the product of distance and time.

It measures in m/s.

In response to the query, we are provided with the-

150m is the length of the train.

s m is the tunnel's length.

90 km/hr is the train's speed.

= 90 × 5/18 m/sec

= 25m/sec

Total distance equals (train length plus tunnel length).

[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

⇒ 25 = (150 + s) / 15

⇒ 25 × 15 = 150 +s

⇒ 375 = 150 + s

⇒ 375 - 150 = s

⇒ s = 225

⇒ s = 225m

Hence, the length of the tunnel is 225 m.

Suppose James has a credit card with a balance of $4289. Each month, the credit card company charges 5% interest. James pays off all new purchases that he makes each month without paying off the old balance or its interest. He wants to know what the balance on his credit card will be one year from now. Is this situation an example of exponential growth or exponential decay?

Answers

The balance on his credit card will be the amount of $4076.56 one year from now.

What is the simple interest?

Simple interest is defined as interest paid on the original principal and calculated with the following formula:

S.I. = P × R × T, where P = Principal, R = Rate of Interest in % per annum, and T = Time, usually calculated as the number of years. The rate of interest is in percentage r% and is to be written as r/100

First, we must compute James' monthly charges on his balance of 4289.

Principal = 4289

Rate = 5%

Time = 1 month = 1/12 year

Simple interest = 4289×5×1/12×100 = 17.87

The monthly charge is 17.87,

So the yearly charge would be: 12 × 17.87 = $214.44

His credit card balance one year from now = Principal - Interest

⇒ 4289 - 214.44

⇒ 4076.56

In one year, his credit card amount will be 4076.56.

Mia made a mistake in Step 3. She simplified the exponents 16 and -8 incorrectly. She should have subtracted them.

Which properties of exponents are used in this problem?

When two terms with the same base and different exponents are multiplied, we keep the base and add the exponents, as follows:

3^0 x 3^(16) = 3^(0 + 16) = 3^16.

Hence the Step 1 is correct.

For the power of power rule, we keep the base and multiply the exponents, hence:

(3^(-4))² = 3^(-4 x 2) = 3^(-8).

Hence the Step 2 is correct.

When two terms with the same base and different exponents are divided, we keep the base and subtract the exponents, as follows:

3^16/(3^(-8)) = 3^(16 - (-8)) = 3^(16 + 8) = 24.

Which is Mia's mistake, as she did not subtract the exponents.
