Members of a softball team raised $1186.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus
for $842.50 and budgeted $21.50 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation
which can be used to determine x, the number of players the team can bring to the
tournament.

Answers

Answer 1

The equation to determine the number of players the team can bring is $842.50 + $21.50y = $1,186.50

The team can bring 16 players to the tournament.

To go to a tournament, softball team members raised $1186.50 and rented a bus for $842.50, and the cost of meals of each player is $21.50.

Let y represent the number of players.

$842.50 + $21.50 × y = $1,186.50

$842.50 + $21.50 × y = $1,186.50

$842.50 + $21.50y = $1,186.50

Subtracting $842.50 from each side.

$21.50y =  $1,186.50 - $842.50

$21.50y =  $344

Divide both side of the equation by $21.50.

x = $344 / $21.50

x = 16 players

As a result, the team is allowed to enter 16 players into the competition.

Answers

The nearest half of 7.68 is 7.5  

Given,

A number is given by:

7.68

and, to find the rounded to the nearest half

Now, The number 7.68 is  between 7.5 and 8.

Let's find which of these two numbers 7.68 is closer too.

We can do this by subtracting 7.68 from each of those numbers:

8 - 7.68 = 0.32

7.5 - 7.68 = -0.18

So, 7.68 is 0.32 away from 8, but it's only 0.18 away from 7.5

Answers

A randomly chosen beagle has a 0.86508  probability of weighing more than 21.8 pounds.

How can probability be explained?

A probability is a number that expresses the possibility or likelihood that a specific event will take place. Probabilities can be represented as percentage with values between 0 and 1.

What does the term "z-score" mean?

The relationship between a value and the mean of a group of values is quantified by a Z-score.

Adult male beagle weight is normally distributed, with a mean of 25.0 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.9 pounds.

Given values are:

Mean(μ) = 25 pounds

Standard deviation(σ) = 2.9 pounds

Sample mean(x') = 21.8

We need to calculate z-score:

z = (x' - μ)/σ

z = (21.8 - 25)/2.9

z = 1.25

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x>21.8) = 1 - P(x<21.8) = 0.86508

How to use rigid transformations to modify functions

In this problem we must use rigid transformations to change the definition of a series of functions. Rigid transformations are transformations applied on functions such that its form is not altered. There are the following transformations, which are used in the five cases:

Horizontal translation

g(x) = f(x - k), translation is to the right for k > 0.

Vertical translation

g(x) = f(x) + k, translation is upward for k > 0

Reflection over the x-axis

g(x) = - f(x)

Reflection over the y-axis

g(x) = f(- x)

Now we proceed to present the image of each function after using a sequence of rigid transformations:

f(x) = |x|; g(x) = |x - 3| + 2f(x) = |x|; g(x) = |x + 4| - 2f(x) = |x|; g(x) = - |x| - 3f(x) = x²; g(x) = (x - 3)² - 2f(x) = √x; g(x) = √(- x) + 5

Use what you know about domain to select all of the following functions that could be the one graphed.

Answers

Using transformations, more specifically a translation, the functions that could represent the one graphed are given as follows:

y = sqrt(x) - 3.y = sqrt(x) - 1.

Why is the transformation in this problem a translation?

We first consider the parent square root function, defined as follows:

y = sqrt(x).

It's domain, that is, the possible values that the input x can assume, is given as follows:

x ≥ 0.

The graphed function has the same domain as the parent square root function, just with a different range, as it was shifted down, assuming the following format:

y = sqrt(x) - a.

In a translation, the function keeps the same format and orientation, just changing it's position, which is what happened in this case.

The possible translations are:

1 unit down, hence a = 1 and y = sqrt(x) - 1.3 units down, hence a = 3 and y = sqrt(x) - 3.

The other functions would change the domain of the function, hence they are not possible.

Snow plowing plan , In the relationship between the amount of snowfall and the number of trucks proportional explain

Answers

Based on the number of trucks needed and the snowfall per inch, the relationship between snowfall and trucks is proportional.

When is a relationship proportional?

A relationship is said to be proportional when the two variables increase at a set rate. In other words, proportional relationships will see variables increasing at the same rate.

The rate of snowfall per trucks for 6 inches of snowfall is:

= 15 / 6

= 2.5 trucks per inch of snowfall

The rate of snowfall per trucks for 12 inches of snowfall is:

= 30 / 12

= 2.5 trucks per inch of snowfall

The rate is therefore the same across the table so the relationship between snowfall and the number of trucks is proportional.

3x - 40 = x - 90

Collect like terms

3x - x = -90 + 40

2x = -50

Divide

x = -50 / 2

x = -25

divide r by 8, then double the result

Answers

The expression divide r by 8 when doubled is r/4

What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression can be seen or described as a mathematical or arithmetic expressions that is composed of arithmetic terms, factors, constants, variables, and coefficients.

These expressions are also known to be composed of mathematical operations, such as;

SubtractionAdditionMultiplicationBracketDivision, etc

From the information given, we have;

divide r by 8

This is expressed as;

r/8

In doubling the expression, we get;

2(r/8)

expand the bracket

A textbook store sold a combined total of 283 math and sociology books in a week. The number of sociology textbooks sold was 89 less than the number of math textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold

Answers

1) show the clues. Let y be the amount of sociology books and x be math book

x+y=283

y+89=x = y= x-89

2) Substitute the second expression for the first.

x+x-89=283

2x -89 = 283

2x = 372

x = 186

Math book sold: 186

3) Use x to find y

186+ y= 283
Y = 97

Sociology book sold: 97

Double check!

97 + 89 = 186
186 = 186

Sociology book sold: 97

Math book sold: 186

In this unit, you will investigate some real-world scenarios which can be modeled through logarithmic functions. In particular, we'll investigate three phenomena using logarithmic models: magnitude of earthquakes, intensity of sound, and pH (or acidity) of substances. Research online and find an additional scenario not mentioned above that uses logarithmic functions, and explain why it is beneficial to your everyday life. Be sure to cite any sources you used in your response.

Answers

One example of real-world situation that uses logarithms is for amount of substance that are decaying over time.

Logarithms and amount of substances

An amount of a decaying substance after t years is modeled by the following exponential equation:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

In which:

P(0) is the initial amount.k is the exponential decay rate, as a decimal.

The simplest example of the use of logarithms is to find the half-life of the substance, that is, the year t for which P(t) = 0.5P(0).

Then:

[tex]0.5P(0) = P(0)e^{-kt}[/tex]

[tex]e^{-kt} = 0.5[/tex]

The natural logarithm is used to find the half life, as it is the inverse of the exponential.

[tex]\ln{e^{-kt}} = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]-kt = \ln{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]t = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{k}[/tex]

Hence we showed another application of logarithms in a real-word model.
