Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

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

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 bag of potting soil

[tex]Peat Moss = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Required

What part is dirt?

The whole bag of potting soil is represented as 1;

Let P represent Peat Moss and D represented Dirt; Such that

[tex]P + D = 1[/tex]

Subtract P from both sides

[tex]P - P + D = 1 - P[/tex]

[tex]D = 1 - P[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] for P

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

Take LCM

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

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the potting soil is Dirt

Which represents a quadratic function? f(x) = −8x3 − 16x2 − 4x f (x) = three-quarters x 2 + 2x − 5 f(x) = StartFraction 4 Over x squared EndFraction minus StartFraction 2 Over x EndFraction + 1 f(x) = 0x2 − 9x + 7

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x\\f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5\\f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1\\f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7[/tex]

Which of the above is a quadratic function

A quadratic function has the following form;

[tex]ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0[/tex]

So, to get a quadratic function from the list of given options, we simply perform a comparative test of each function with the form of a quadratic function

[tex]1.\ f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x[/tex]

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form [tex]f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + c[/tex] and this is different from [tex]ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0[/tex]

[tex]2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5[/tex]

This function has an exact match with [tex]ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0[/tex]

By comparison; [tex]a = \frac{3}{4}\ b = 2\ and\ c = -5[/tex]

[tex]3.\ f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1[/tex]

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form [tex]f(x) = \frac{a}{x^2} + \frac{b}{x} + c[/tex] and this is different from [tex]ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0[/tex]

[tex]4.\ f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7[/tex]

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form [tex]f(x) = ax^2 +bx + c = 0\ but\ a = 0[/tex]

Unlike the quadratic function where [tex]a\neq 0[/tex]

So, from the list of given options, only [tex]2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5[/tex] satisfies the given condition

StartRoot StartFraction 126 x y Superscript 5 Baseline Over 32 x cubed EndFraction EndRoot = StartRoot StartFraction 63 y Superscript 5 Baseline Over a x Superscript b Baseline EndFraction EndRoot a = and b =

Answers

Answer:What was done from the first to the second equation was that the fraction was simplified. 126 and 32 have a common factors of 2. 

126/32=(63*2)/(16*2)

The 2s in the top and bottom can cancel out, leaving the fraction 63/16. 

In addition, since there are x terms on the top and bottom, they cancelled out as well. 

x/x^3=1/x^2

This leaves an x^2 term on the bottom. 

Thus, if a is 16, and b is 2, you will have an equivalent form of the fraction.

Answers

Answer:

#1

Step-by-step explanation:

#1)-3-1.5

you go 3 units left from zero to get to -3

then, you go 1.5 units to the left of -3,

thus getting to -4.5,

#2) in #2 you went to the right to 3 and 4.5, but dude, it is subtraction, so, it should go the opposite way...wrong

#3) you can't change to order of the things in subtraction like in addition, so #3 is wrong answer of 3

#4) like in # 3, you have to go from 0 to (-3)   3 units to the left first, also you go from -3 to -4.5 1.5 units to the left, not -3 to -1.4 -4.5, which makes no sense, steps shown incorrectly to get any single answer at all

#5) you go from -1.5 to 1.5 , then from 0 to -1.5, same as in 4, 3, and 2 you will never get to -4.5, but same as 4 not get any single answer at all

Pure gold is often mixed with other metals to produce jewelry. Pure gold is 24 carat. 12 carat gold is 12/24 or 50% gold, 6 carat gold is 6/24 or 25% gold, etc. A jeweler has some 12 carat gold and some 21 carat gold and wants to produce 90 g of 75% gold.

a. What percentage of gold is 21 carat?

b. How many grams of 12 carat gold and 21 carat gold are needed to produce the mixture?

Answers

Answer:

a. 87.5%

b. 30 g of 12 carat and 60 g of 21 carat.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The percentage of gold in 21 carat is given by:

[tex]gold_{21} = \frac{21}{24}*100 = 87.5 \%[/tex]

b. Since the mass he wants to produce is 90 g, then the added mass of the 12 carat, "x", and the mass of the 21 carat "y", must be equal to that:

[tex]x + y = 90[/tex]

The sum of gold on each carat type must be equal to the amount of gold on the final mixture, since a 12 carat has 50% gold and a 21 carat has 87.5% gold, then we have:

[tex]0.5*x + 0.875*y = 0.75*90\\\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\[/tex]

We now have a system of equations which we can solve to find the necessary mass of each type.

[tex]x + y = 90 \text{ } *-0.5\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\\\-0.5*x - 0.5*y = -45\\0.5*x + 0.875*y = 67.5\\\\0.375*y = 22.5\\\\y = 60[/tex]

[tex]x = 90 - y = 90 - 60\\\\x = 30[/tex]

He needs 30 g of 12 carat gold and 60 g of 21 carat gold.

Answer:

a. 87.5%

b. 30 g of 12 carat and 60 g of 21 carat.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The percentage of gold in 21 carat is given by:

b. Since the mass he wants to produce is 90 g, then the added mass of the 12 carat, "x", and the mass of the 21 carat "y", must be equal to that:

The sum of gold on each carat type must be equal to the amount of gold on the final mixture, since a 12 carat has 50% gold and a 21 carat has 87.5% gold, then we have:

We now have a system of equations which we can solve to find the necessary mass of each type.

He needs 30 g of 12 carat gold and 60 g of 21 carat gold.

Which missing piece of information would allow the triangles in the figure to be proven congruent by AAS? answer: A) ∠C ≅ ∠L B) ∠B ≅ ∠K C) cb ≅ lk D) ab≅ jk

Answers

Answer:

B) ∠B ≅ ∠K

Step-by-step explanation:

The Angle-Angle-Side Postulate (AAS) states that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Given that ∠A ≅ ∠J and AC ≅ JL, then we need that ∠B ≅ ∠K to satisfy postulate AAS (the two angles are ∠A and ∠B in one triangle and ∠K and ∠J in the other one, and the non-included side is AC in one triangle and JL in the other one).
