What is the value of x in the proportion below?

1/2 / 4 = x/28

3 1/2
7 1/2
14
56

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways that you can solve this

Method 1)

Since these proportions are set equal to each other, we know that x is also equivalent to 1/2. So, we need to find the whole-number that was multiplied by the first fraction (1/2/4) that gave us the second fraction (x/28).

So we need to divide the denominators

28/4 = 7

Now that we have that number, we will mutiply 1/2 by it because we know that whatever x is the 1/2 times 7 since 28 is 4*7:

1/2 * 7 = 3.5 or 3 1/2, so 3 1/2 is our answer...

Another way that we can solve this is by using the cross product (butterfly method)

Method 2)

Multiply 28 by 1/2 = 14.

Now we will divide 14 by 4. 14/4 = 3.5

3.5 = 3 1/2, so that is our answer.

Examine the equation. 4(x – 3) = 4x – 12 Which of the following is true? (Check all that apply.) It is a true statement. Any input will result in an equivalent equation. It is equivalent to an equation of the form a = a. It has no solution. Only one input will result in a true statement.

Answers

Answer:

A, B, and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

[tex]4(x-3)=4x-12[/tex]

Let’s distribute the left. This yields:

[tex]4x-12=4x-12[/tex]

Let’s add 12 to both sides:

[tex]4x=4x[/tex]

And subtract 4x from both sides:

[tex]0=0[/tex]

We get the true statement 0=0.

Hence, A is correct.

Because it is a true statement, any input will yield an equivalent output.

Hence, B is also correct.

We also have the form a=a, where a is 0.

Hence, C is also correct.

Therefore, our correct answers are A, B, and C.

The length of a rectangle is 97 meters and the width is 14 meters. Find the area. Give your answer without units.
Provide your answer below:

Answers

Use the formula, l•w (length times width)
The length is 97 and the width is 14
97•14=1358

The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width thus the area will be 1358 square meters.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2( length + width).

It is known that,

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Area = 97 x 14 = 1358 sqare meters

Hence "The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width thus the area will be 1358 square meters".

The cost of medical care abroad is often significantly less than in the United States. In 2014, the cost of knee replacement surgery in the United states was $34,000. This cost was $4000 more than four times the cost of knee replacement surgery in India. Find the cost of Knee replacement surgery in India.

Answers

Answer:

Cost in India: $7500

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent cost in India with I and cost in United States as U.

Given

[tex]U = 3400[/tex]

[tex]U = 4000 + 4 * I[/tex]

Required

Find I

Simply substitute 34000 for U in the second equation

[tex]34000 = 4000 + 4 * I[/tex]

[tex]34000 = 4000 + 4I[/tex]

Solve for 4I

[tex]4I = 34000 - 4000[/tex]

[tex]4I = 30000[/tex]

Solve for I

[tex]I = 30000/4[/tex]

[tex]I = 7500[/tex]

Hence, the cost in India is $7500

A slope is also known as the gradient of a line. The rate of change is $0.13/ mile.

What is Slope?

A slope also known as the gradient of a line is a number that helps to know both the direction and the steepness of the line.

slope = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Given two of the points on the line of the function (7000, 900) and (20000, 2600). Now, The rate of change for the given function is the slope of the line as shown in the graph. Therefore, the rate of change will be,

Rate of change = ($2600 - $900)/(20,000 miles - 7,000 miles)

                         = 1700 / 13000

Hey there :)

h ( x ) = f [ g ( x ) ]

To find h ' ( x )  

We do → f ' [ g ( x ) ] × g ' ( x )  

This is called the chain rule

Given;

g ( 1 ) = 2  →  f ' ( 2 ) = 5

g ' ( 1 ) = 6

Apply the formula

h ' ( 1 ) = f ' [ g ( 1 ) ] × g ' ( 1 )

          = f ' ( 2 ) × 6

          = 5 × 6

h ' ( 1 ) = 30

If h(x) = g[f(x)], the value of h'(1) from the given table is calculated as 18.

To find the value of h'(1), we need to apply the chain rule. The chain rule states that if we have a composite function h(x) = g[f(x)], then its derivative h'(x) is given by [tex]\(h'(x) = g'(f(x)) \cdot f'(x)\)[/tex].

Let's use the table of values to find h'(1):

1. f(1) = 3

2. g(f(1)) = g(3) = 2

3. f'(1) = 2

4. g'(f(1)) = g'(3) = 9

Now, we can find h'(1) using the chain rule:

[tex]\[h'(1) = g'(f(1)) \cdot f'(1) = 9 \cdot 2 = 18.\][/tex]

Therefore, the value of h'(1) is 18.

The mean lifetime of a tire is 48 months with a standard deviation of 77 months. If 147 tires are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 0.83 months?

Answers

Answer:

0.55199

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a random number of samples, We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation

n is random number of samples

z = 0.83/77/√147

z = 0.13069

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x<48.83) = 0.55199

The probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 0.83 months is 0.55199

Answer: c.

Explanation: The first thing you do when you subtract mixed numbers is convert them into improper fractions. 4 3/4 can be converted to 19/4 and 1 1/3 can be converted into 4/3. To be able to subtract or add fractions they need to have the same denominator a number in which both denominators can go into and that number is 12. 4 can equally go into 12 and so can 3. Now that you have found the common denominator (12) you have to find out what kind of operation you need to do in order for 4 to be 12 and for 3 to also be 12. And that is by multiplying. If you multiply 4 by 3 and get 12 and 3 by 4 to get 12 as well. Whatever you do to the bottom of the fraction you also do to the top so 19 x 3 / 4 x 3 = 57/12. Do the same to the other improper fraction: 4 x 4/ 3 x4 = 16/12. They both now have the same denominator but you have to subtract so,,57/12 - 16/12 = 41/12 you have the answer to the subtraction problem but you can probably tell that it isn’t any of the options on the question. Simplifying 41/12 will give you the mixed number 3 5/12.

Addition is the the process of determining the total sum of two or more numbers. Addition is a basic mathematical operation. The other basic operations are subtraction, multiplication and division.

The number of eggs I have would increase with the number of eggs I am given and the number of eggs the farm rooster lays. This means I would have to add these numbers together.

i think the answer is The 1st table represents a function

Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Function is a relation where each input has a single output

- The notation of the function is f(x) = y , where x is the input of the

function and y is the out put of the function

-  The domain of the function is x and the range of the function is y

* Lets find which table represent a function

# First table:

     x      y

    -3      -1

     0      0

    -2      -1

- In the first table

∵ -3 has only -1

∵ 0 has only 0

∵ -2 has only -1

∵ 8 has only 1

∵ Every x has a single y

∴ The table represents a function

∴ The 1st table represents a function

- In the second table

   x       y

   -5       -5

    0       0

   -5       5

    6       -6

∵ x = -5 has y = -5 and y = 5

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function

- In the third table

    x          y

   -4         8

   -2         2

   -2         4

    0         2

∵ x = -2 has y = 2 and y = 4

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function

- In the fourth table

    x          y

   -4         2

    3         5

   -4         0

∵ x = -4 has y = 2 and y = 0

∴ One x has two values of y

∴ The table doesn't represent a function

3. Using the function from 1, what year was the average monthly cost of basic cable TV $23.23?​

Answers

Answer:

$50.23

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t)=1.35(t)+9.73

First I found out how many years are after 1985 so you would do 2020-1985 which equals 30.

I plug it in for t.

f(t)=1.35(30)+9.73

Then you multiply 1.35 and 30 which would leave us with.

f(t)=40.5+9.73

Add them and you get $50.23
