Answer:
the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose, the weight of the alloy with 50% silver content is x kilograms.
As, the weight of the mixed alloy should be 10 kilograms, so the weight of the alloy with 25% silver content will be: kilograms
The percentage of silver content in the mixed alloy is 40%. So the equation will be calculated as
[tex]0.5x+0.25(10-x)=0.4\times10\\0.5x+2.5-0.25x=4\\0.25x=1.5\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{1.5}{0.25} = 6[/tex]
So, the amount of 50% silver alloy is 6 kilograms and the amount of 25% silver alloy is (10-6)= 4 kilograms.
Suppose f '' is continuous on (−[infinity], [infinity]). (a) If f '(−5) = 0 and f ''(−5) = −1, what can you say about f ? At x = −5, f has a local maximum. At x = −5, f has a local minimum. At x = −5, f has neither a maximum nor a minimum. More information is needed to determine if f has a maximum or minimum at x = −5. (b) If f '(1) = 0 and f ''(1) = 0, what can you say about f ? At x = 1, f has a local maximum. At x = 1, f has a local minimum. At x = 1, f has neither a maximum nor a minimum. More information is needed to determine if f has a maximum or minimum at x = 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The first derivative helps considering f decreases or increases. Also, when f'(x) = 0, the function gets local max/min depends on how it acts.
The second derivative helps determining the concave up/down.
At x = -5, f"(-5) = -1 <0 That means the function f have concave down. Also, it shows f increases before -5 and decreases after -5.
Hence f'(-5) = 0 shows f gets maximum at -5.
b) At the point where f" =0, the function has a reflecting point and we need more information to determine if f has a local max/min there.
Using concepts of critical points, it is found that:
a) At x = −5, f has a local maximum.
b) At x = 1, f has neither a maximum nor a minimum.
-----------------------
A critical value of a function f(x) is a value of [tex]x^{\ast}[/tex] for which: [tex]f^{\prime}(x^{\ast}) = 0[/tex].
The second derivative test is also applied:
If [tex]f^{\prime\prime}(x^{\ast}) > 0[/tex], [tex]x^{\ast}[/tex] is a minimum point.If [tex]f^{\prime\prime}(x^{\ast}) < 0[/tex], [tex]x^{\ast}[/tex] is a maximum point.If [tex]f^{\prime\prime}(x^{\ast}) = 0[/tex], [tex]x^{\ast}[/tex] is neither a maximum nor a minimum point.Item a:
[tex]f^{\prime}(-5) = 0, f^{\prime\prime}(-5) = -1[/tex], thus, a maximum point, and the correct option is:At x = −5, f has a local maximum.
Item b:
[tex]f^{\prime}(1) = 0, f^{\prime\prime}(1) = 0[/tex], thus, neither a maximum nor a minimum point, and the correct option is:At x = 1, f has neither a maximum nor a minimum.

Answer:
Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first statement is false because the price for 10 gallons is about $37 from the graph. Using this same reasoning, the third statement is also false. The last statement doesn't make sense because the graph has nothing to do with the amount of miles driven. Therefore, the answer is the second statement. We can prove it by looking at the point (4, 15). This means that it costs $15 for 4 gallons, so then the price for one gallon will be 15 / 4 = $3.75.

Mariah spent $9.50 on 9 pounds of limes and pears. Limes cost $0.50 per pound and pears cost $1.50 per pound. Let l be the number of pounds of limes and let p be the number of pounds of pears.
The system of linear equations that models this scenario is:
l + p = 9
0.5l + 1.5p = 9.5
How many pounds of each type of fruit did she buy?
Answer:
4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears
Step-by-step explanation:
I + P = 9
0.5l + 1.5P = 9.5
I = 9 - P
0.5(9 - P) + 1.5P = 9.5
4.5-0.5P + 1.5P = 9.5
4.5 + P (1P) = 9.5
P = 9.5-4.5 = 5
I = 9 - 5 = 4
Answer: 4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears
At LaGuardia Airport for a certain nightly flight, the probability that it will rain is
0.18 and the probability that the flight will be delayed is 0.14. The probability that it
will not rain and the flight will leave on time is 0.74. What is the probability that the
flight would leave on time when it is not raining? Round your answer to the thousand
Answer:
0.902 = 90.2% probability that the flight would leave on time when it is not raining
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Not raining
Event B: Flight leaving on time.
The probability that it will rain is 0.18.
This means that there is a 1 - 0.18 = 0.82 probability of not raining. So [tex]P(A) = 0.82[/tex]
The probability that it will not rain and the flight will leave on time is 0.74.
This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.74[/tex]
What is the probability that the flight would leave on time when it is not raining?
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.74}{0.82} = 0.902[/tex]
0.902 = 90.2% probability that the flight would leave on time when it is not raining
Solve x-6y = 11 for y
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y = 11 - x / -6
Step-by-step explanation:
X - 6y = 11
Since we are solving for y, we need to isolate the variable.
Move x to the other side of the equation.
- 6y = 11 - x
Now divide bith sides by -6 to cancel out -6y and get the variable y
-6y/ -6 = 11 - x/ -6
y = 11 - x / -6
Im not sure if it was solving for y, or if it was solve for x if y = 11
The following simple linear regression analyzes the relationship between the number of classes students are taking (the independent variable, labeled in the following output as X[,2]) and the number of books they have in their backpack (the response) at randomly chosen times. Assume all relevant assumptions are met. Which of the following are correct interpretations of the slope?
a. Each additional class a student takes is associated with about a 58.7% increase in the number of books in their backpack on average.
b. Each additional class a student takes is associated with about an additional 0.587 books in their backpack on average.
c. Taking an additional class causes students to carry 0.587 extra books with them on average.
d. The population average number of books in a studentâs backpack is 0.587.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Why do we say that the answer is B?
For each additional class there is a significant increase that represents a minimum value over a total of books, that is, 100% that will always remain, therefore the increase will be an additional average over the other "books" that are already in backpack.

In the arcade game Skee Ball, players roll a ball up a ramp and receive 10 to 50 points based on where the ball lands. Players will attempt to aim the ball to receive higher scores, which are more difficult to achieve based on size and location. However, if a ball is rolled randomly up the ramp, the probabilities of the ball landing in different scoring areas are not equal. Assume the following probabilities for each possible score:
Score 10 Points 20 Points 30 Points 40 Points 50 Points
Probability 0.50 0.25 0.15 0.07 0.03
Assume that a player rolls three balls at random.

During your journey, you develop an abscessed tooth and have to visit the dentist. You are prescribed an antibiotic with a dosage of 7.5 mg/kg every six hours. If you weigh 128 pounds and the antibiotic comes in 250 mg tablets, how many tablets should you take each day?
Answer:
I should take 10.44 tablets in a day, approximately 10.5 tablets.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to convert the weight from pounds to kilograms, to do that we need to divide it by 2.205.
[tex]w = \frac{128}{2.205}\\w = 58.05 \text{ kg}[/tex]
Since I need to take 7.5 mg per kg of body weight, then in order to find the dosage we need to multiply the weight in kg by 7.5.
[tex]\text{dosage} = 58*7.5 = 435 \text{ mg}[/tex]
Since I need to take it every six hours and there are 24 hours in a day, we will have to take 4 dosages in a day, therefore we need:
[tex]\text{dosage(day)} = 435*6 = 2,610 \text{ mg}[/tex]
The antibiotic comes in 250 mg in tablets, therefore the number of tablets is:
[tex]tablets = \frac{2610}{250} = 10.44[/tex]
I should take 10.44 tablets in a day, approximately 10.5 tablets.
g A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 62 meters per second at a launch angle of 25 degrees toward a castle wall that is 260 meters away. If the wall is 20 meters tall, how high off the ground will the cannonball hit
Answer:
h = 16.23 m
The cannonball will hit the wall at 16.23m from the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Initial speed v = 62m/s
Angle ∅ = 25°
Horizontal distance d = 260 m
Height of wall y = 20
Resolving the initial speed to vertical and horizontal components;
Horizontal vx = vcos∅ = 62cos25°
Vertical vy = vsin∅ = 62cos25°
The time taken for the cannon ball to reach the wall is;
Time t = horizontal distance/horizontal speed
t = d/vx (since horizontal speed is constant)
t = 260/(62cos25°)
t = 4.627 seconds.
Applying the equation of motion;
The height of the cannonball at time t is;
h = (vy)t - 0.5gt^2
Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s
Substituting the given values;
h = 62sin25×4.627 - 0.5×9.81×4.627^2
h = 16.2264134736
h = 16.23 m
The cannonball will hit the wall at 16.23m from the ground.
Analysis showed that the mean arrival rate for vehicles at a certain Shell station on Friday afternoon last year was 4.5 vehicles per minute. How large a sample would be needed to estimate this year's mean arrival rate with 98 percent confidence and an error of ± 0.5?
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
use a Poisson process to model the arrival.
the mean rate of arrivals is λ=4.5
The standard deviation is calculated as:
σ==√λ =2.1213
The z-value for a 98% CI is z=2.3262.
If the 98% CI has to be within a error of 0.5 then:
Ul-Ll=2z*σ/√n=2*0.5=1
√n=z*σ=2.3262*2.1213=4.9346
√n=4.9346 and n = 4.9346^2=24.35 rounded to 25
The sample size needed is n=25.
Solve for X 10(x-1) = 8x-2
Answer:
X = 4 x
over 5 ( x − 1 ) − 1 5 ( x − 1 )
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
10(x-1) = 8x-2
Distribute
10x-10 = 8x-2
Subtract 8 from each side
10x-10-8x = 8x-2-8x
2x-10 = -2
Add 10 to each side
2x-10+10 = -2+10
2x = 8
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
In right triangle $ABC,$ $\angle C = 90^\circ.$ Median $\overline{AM}$ has a length of $19,$ and median $\overline{BN}$ has a length of $13.$ What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?
Answer:
AB = 2√106 ≈ 20.591
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem says the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
For median AM, we have ...
AM² = CM² +AC² = (BC/2)² +AC²
For median BN, we have ...
BN² = CN² +BC² = (AC/2)² +BC²
The sum of these two equations is ...
AM² +BN² = BC²/4 +AC² +AC²/4 +BC² = (5/4)(AC² +BC²)
AM² +BN² = (5/4)(AB²)
The hypotenuse of triangle ABC is then ...
AB = √(4/5(AM² +BN²))
AB = 2√((19² +13²)/5)
AB = 2√106 ≈ 20.591
A pair of shoes usually sells for $70. If the shoes are 30% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?
Answer:
The total price of the shoes including tax is 51.45
Step-by-step explanation:
You could go about this 2 ways.
One way is if the shoes originally cost $70 and they are now 30% off, it basically means that the discounted price of the shoes is 70% of the original cost, which is $49. Then to find the total price including tax, you need to find 105% of 49, because you are adding 5% to the discounted price(100). When you do the math, you should get the answer 51.45.
The other way to do it is by first finding 30% of 70, which is 21, and then subtracting that from the original price(70) to get the discounted price, $49. Then you need to find 5% of 49 and then add that to 49 to find the total cost w/ tax, which is 51.45.

We know that if the probability of an event happening is 100%, then the event is a certainty. Can it be concluded that if there is a 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person, there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "No". The further explanation is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability (Keeping the disease out of 1 contact)
= [tex]0.5[/tex]
Probability (not keeping the disease out of 1 contact)
= [tex]1-0.5[/tex]
= [tex]0.5[/tex]
Now,
Probability (not keeping the disease out of 2 contact)
= Keeping the disease out of 1 contact × not keeping the disease out of 1 contact
On putting the estimated values, we get
= [tex]0.5\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]0.25[/tex]
So that,
Probability (Keeping the disease out of 2 contact)
= [tex]1-0.25[/tex]
= [tex]0.75 \ i.e., 75 \ percent[/tex]
∴ Not 100%
