Probability of a girl to be chosen as prefect:

Answer:

Probability = 15/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find probability that prefect is a girl.

The total members are,

→ 15 girls + 8 boys

→ s = 15 + 8

→ [ s = 23 ]

Then the probability will be,

→ P = 15/s

→ [ P = 15/23 ]

Hence, the answer is 15/23.

The sales tax is $2 and the total cost of the item is $42.

Given:

selling price = $40

rate of sales tax = 5%

sales tax = 40*5%

= 40*5 / 100

= 200/100

= $2

Total cost = 40+2

= $42.

Therefore the sales tax is $2 and the total cost of the item is $42.

A trait is a distinguishing characteristic that a person possesses. Dominant traits are defined as having only one copy of a gene on a chromosome that expresses a specific trait.

Individuals exhibit the dominant traits most prominently. Polydactyly is the dominant condition in this case.

The father has six fingers and six toes, while the mother is in normal condition. In this particular condition, polydactyly is a dominant trait. Twelve percent of the couple's children are expected to have extra digits.

Because the father has the dominant trait and the mother is in normal condition, there is a 50% chance that this deformity will be passed down to children.

Answer:

a₈ = - 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 10 and r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-20}{10}[/tex] = - 2 , then

a₈ = 10 [tex](-2)^{7}[/tex] = 10 × - 128 = - 1280

The 8th term of geometric sequence is -1280

Step of calculate geometric sequence

This is a geometric sequence. The geometric number sequence is characterized by the presence of a ratio (the ratio between the next term and the previous term). The next term is the product of the previous term with the ratio. Another sequence called arithmetic sequence is characterized by the presence of difference (the difference between the next term and the previous term).

10, -20, 40, ...

We will first analyze the things that can be found in the three numbers in the sequence. The thing to look for is the first term (a) and also the ratio (r). The first term can also be written as U1, where the 2nd term is U2, and the n-th term is Un.

[tex]a = 10[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{U2}{U1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{-20}{10}[/tex]

[tex]r=2[/tex]

When the first term (U1) and ratio (r) have been obtained, then we can find the 8th term by substitute it in the formula.

[tex]Un=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

With that formula, let's find the 8th term.

[tex]U8=10(-2)^{8-1}[/tex]

[tex]U8=10(-2)^{7}\\U8=10(-128)\\U8=-1280[/tex]

Answer: 4,375 rs

Step-by-step explanation:

25% × 17,500 = 4,375

Answer:

$4375

Step-by-step explanation:

25 percent *17500 =

(25:100)*17500 =

(25*17500):100 =

437500:100 = 4375

Now we have: 25 percent of 17500 = 4375

Let's solve your system by substitution.

4x−4y=8 and 5x−3y=18

Step: Solve 4x−4y=8 for x:

4x − 4y = 8

4x − 4y + 4y = 8 + 4y (Add 4y to both sides)

4x = 4y + 8

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{4y + 8}{4}[/tex]

x = y + 2

Step: Substitute y + 2 for x in 5x − 3y = 18:

5x − 3y = 18

5(y+2) − 3y = 18

2y + 10 = 18  (Simplify both sides of the equation)

2y + 10 + (−10) = 18 + (−10)  (Add -10 to both sides)

2y = 8

y = 4

Step: Substitute 4 for y in x = y + 2:

x = y + 2

x=4+2

x=6  (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x = 6 and y =4

a. Constant of proportionality is equal to 5.

b. Point (12, 60) represents that 12 pounds of sugar required to make 60 cups of coffee.

The graph is simply a structured representation of the data. It aids in our comprehension of the data. The numerical information gathered through observation is referred to as data.

In a line graph, the information or data is represented as a series of markers, or dots, and is then connected to one another by a straight line.

Usually, data that varies over time is represented with a line graph.

Given:

We have the relation between total number of cups of coffee and the total amount of sugar:

Let y represents the number of cups of coffee

and, x represents the amount of sugar

y ∝ x

y = kx

a. 'k' is the constant of proportionality

When  y = 20 , x = 4

20 = k × 4

k = 20/ 4

k = 5

b. From the graph point (12, 60) represents 12 is on the x-axis and y is on the y-axis.

12 represents amount of sugar and 60 represents the number of cups of coffee.

Hence, the Constant of proportionality is equal to 5.

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of the triangle will be 50°, 70°, 60° .

let the 3 angles of a triangle be A, B and C

The first acute angle A is given by = x + 20

The second acute angle B is given by = 2x + 10

The third acute angle C is given by = 4x - 60

Now we know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°

So ,

A + B + C + = 180°

x + 20 + 2x + 10 +  4x - 60 = 180°

7x - 30 = 180°

7x = 210°

x = 30°

So, from the value of x , we can calculate the value of each angle

Therefore, the required angles are :

angle A = (x + 20)° = 30° + 20° = 50°

angle B = (2x + 10)° = 60° + 10° = 70°

angle C = (4x - 60)° = 120° - 60° = 60°

verification : sum of the angles = 50°  + 70° + 60°  = 180°

Answer:

it is basic and .........

The answer is a) 0 height, b) 25 seconds c) 10,600 feet d) 3 times e) (x+1)(x-3)(x+5).

A projectile is fired vertically upward, and its height s(t) in feet after t seconds is given by the function defined by

s(t) = -16t² + 800t + 600.

To find out

(a) From what height was the projectile fired

Given height functions: s(t) = -16t² + 800t + 600

Now,

[tex]s^{'}(t)[/tex] - -32t+800

(b) Now, to find the time it will attain maximum height,

[tex]s^{'}(t)[/tex] = 0

-32t = -800

t = 25 seconds

(c) The maximum height it will reach

= [tex]-16*(25)^{2} + 800*25+600[/tex]

= -10000+20000+600

= 10,600 feet

(d) Between what two times (in seconds, to the nearest tenth) will it be more than 5000 ft above the ground

By putting x = 3

[tex]P(3) = 4*(3)^{3}-50 * (3)^{2}-8*3+6[/tex]

= 108-90-24+6

= 114-114

= 0

Therefore x = 3 is a zero of P(x)

(e) How long to the nearest tenth of a second will the projectile be in the air

Now, factoring,

[tex]f(x) = x^{3}+3x^{2} -13x-15\\ \\= x^{3}+x^{2} +2x^{2}+2x-15x-15\\ \\ = (x+1)(x^{2} +5x-3x-15)\\\\= (x+1)(x(x+5)-3(x+5))\\\\=(x+1)(x-3)(x+5)[/tex]

Hence the answer is a) 0 height, b) 25 seconds c) 10,600 feet d) 3 times e) (x+1)(x-3)(x+5)

The expressions that represent the total weekly wages of Rita is 11r + 32 and of Tina is 11t.

We are given;

Rita and Tina each make $11 an hour working as cashiers at a supermarket.

Last week, Rita worked r hours while Tina worked t hours.

Rita also worked overtime hours during the week, for which she was paid an extra $32 flat wage.

We need to find the expressions that represent the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina.

Let us form an algebraic expression for both one by one;

For Rita:

Number of hours Rita worked for = r

Cost per hour = $ 11

The amount for overtime Rita earned = $32

So, the equation expressing the total weekly wage for Rita = 11r + 32.

For Tina :

Number of hours Tina worked for = t

Cost per hour = $ 11

So, the equation expressing the total weekly wage for Tina = 11t.
