The text book store sold a combined total of 326 history and chemistry textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry textbooks sold was 86 less than the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type was sold?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence

"The Number of Chem textbooks sold is 86 less than the number of History textbooks"

This seems to be the confusing part.

Now look at it this way...

'If CHM text is 86 less than History text... It also means that History Text is 86 More than CHM'

This expression can be written as

Let History Text be "H"

Let CHM text be "C"

C - 86 = H

or

C=H + 86.......1

First line of this question is interpreted thus

H + C = 326.......2

From eqn 1... C=H+86

Substitute into Eqn 2

H + C=326

H + (H+86)=326

H+H=326-86

2H=240

H=240/2

H=120.

C=H+86

C=120+86

C=206.

This answer is correct... Why?

The key statement says .. The Number of CHM sold is 86 less than History...

Also interpreted as

The Number of CHM – 86 = History

206 - 86 =120.

Have a great day!!!

Answer:

  D.  7°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two numbers is the distance between them on the number line.

  4 -(-3) = 4 +3 = 7

Temperatures -3°C and +4°C are 7°C apart. The difference between the temperatures is 7°C.

_____

Additional comment

Often, in math, when we talk about the difference between A and B, we mean specifically the value (A-B). In plain English, when we talk about the difference between A and B, we mean the positive difference--the value obtained by subtracting the smaller number from the larger one.

Here, the difference between New York and London temperatures would ordinarily be interpreted in math to be -3 -4 = -7°C. That is not an answer choice, so we must assume the positive difference, 7°C, is intended.

Find the equation (in terms of x ) of the line through the points (-3,4) and (1,-8)

Answers

Answer:

A(-3,4) B(1,-8)

y-y1/x-x1 =y2-y1/x2-x1

y-4/x--3 = -8-4/1--3

y-4/x+3 = -12/1+3

y-4/x+3 =-12/4

y-4/x+3 = -3

y-4 = -3(x+3)

y-4=-3x-9

y+3x +9-4=

y+3x+5=0

Answer:

y = -3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3, 4 and 1, -8

1 - -3 = 4

-8 - 4 = -12

[tex]\frac{-12}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-3}{1}[/tex] = -3

gradient/slope = -3

now substituting in the point -3, 4 to find the y intercept:

4= -3 x -3 + c

4 = 9 + c

-5 = c

y intercept = -5

equation is y = -3x - 5

University of Florida researchers in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering have invented a technique that rapidly detects traces of TNT (Today, Spring 2005). The method, which involves shining a laser on a potentially contaminated object, provides instantaneous results and gives no false positives. In this application, a false positive would occur if the laser detected traces of TNT when, in fact, no TNT were actually present on the object. Let A be the event that the laser light detects traces of TNT. Let B be the event that the object contains no traces of TNT. The probability of a false positive is 0.

Required:
Write this probability in terms of A and B using symbols such as U, ∩ and |.

Answers

Answer:

P(A n B) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A \to[/tex] Traces of TNT detected

[tex]B \to[/tex] No traces of TNT

Required

Probability of false positive

From the question, we understand that A and B must occur to get a positive and the result is 0.

The probability of A and B is represented as: P(A n B)

Include the result (0), we get:

P(A n B) = 0

A population of 30 deer is introduced into a wildlife sanctuary. It is estimated that the sanctuary can sustain up to 200 deer, so the growth is described by the logistic equation. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 10% per year.a. Predict the population after one year.b. Predict the population after two years.

Answers

Answer:

After one year the population will be 33 deers, and after two years it will be 36 deers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a population of 30 deer is introduced into a wildlife sanctuary, and it is estimated that the sanctuary can sustain up to 200 deer, and absent constraints, the population would grow by 10% per year, to predict the population after one year and after two years, the following calculations must be performed:

A)

30 x 1.1 = X

33 = X

B)

30 x 1.1 ^ 2 = X

30 x 1.21 = X

36.3 = X

Therefore, after one year the population will be 33 deers, and after two years it will be 36 deers.

Write the equation of the quadratic whose Vertex is at ( −4,−5) and passes through the point (−3, −7)

Answers

To Find :

The equation of the quadratic whose Vertex is at ( −4,−5) and passes through the point (−3, −7).

Solution :

A quadratic equation in vertex form is given by :

[tex]y = a(x-h)^2 + k[/tex]  

( Here, h, k is the vertex )

y = a(x-(-4))² + (-5)

y = a(x+4)² - 5

Now, putting (-3,-7) in above equation:

-7 = a( -3 + 4 )² - 5

a(1)² = -2

a = -2

Therefore, the equation of the quadratic is y = -2(x+4)² - 5 .

find the ratio of volumes of two cuboids whose sides are in the ratio 3/1

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of volumes is of 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cuboid:

A cuboid has dimensions length l, width w and height h. The volume is given by:

[tex]V = lwh[/tex]

Multiplying dimensions by 3:

This means that l = 3l, w = 3w, h = 3h. So

[tex]V_m = 3l(3w)(3h) = 3*3*3*lwh = 27lwh[/tex]

Ratio of volumes:

[tex]\frac{V_m}{V} = \frac{27lwh}{lwh} = 27[/tex]

The ratio of volumes is of 27.

Mr. Reid​'s storage bin is 4 feet​ long, 3 feet​ wide, and 7 feet tall. Can he fit 81 boxes that each has a volume of 1 cubic foot in his bin​? Explain your answer

Answers

Answer:

Mr. Reid will be able to fit 81 boxes that each has a volume of 1 cubic foot in his bin, since it has a capacity of 84 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mr. Reid's storage bin is 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 7 feet tall, to determine if he can fit 81 boxes that each has a volume of 1 cubic foot in his bin, the following calculation, knowing that the volume of a rectangular prism arises from multiplying its height by its width and its length:

4 x 3 x 7 = X

12 x 7 = X

84 = X

84 - (81 x 1) = X

84 - 81 = X

3 = X

Therefore, Mr. Reid will be able to fit 81 boxes that each has a volume of 1 cubic foot in his bin, since it has a capacity of 84 cubic feet.

Name the two solutions of (2x – 1)^2 = 25.

Answers

Answer:

3 & -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x – 1)^2 = 25

2x = 6

x = 3

• 2x = -5+1

Solution given:

(2x – 1)^2 = 25.

square root on both side

[tex]\sqrt{(2x-1)²}=\sqrt{25}[/tex]

2x-1=±5

A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its high school fitness test. The time for this event is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of seconds and a standard deviation of seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student can run the mile in less than seconds. Round to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

This probability is the p-value of Z given [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex], considering X as less than X seconds, [tex]\mu[/tex] as the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] as the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean [tex]\mu[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex].

Find the probability that a randomly selected high school student can run the mile in less than X seconds.

This probability is the p-value of Z given [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex], considering X as less than X seconds, [tex]\mu[/tex] as the mean and [tex]\sigma[/tex] as the standard deviation.
