(3) An estate was to be divided among five people. The first person received 1/8 of the estate. The next two people each received 1/5 of the estate. The fourth person received 1/10 of the estate. What fractional part of the estate did the last person receive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

An estate has to be divided among the 5 persons.

Given that the 1st person received 1/8 of the estate,

the 2nd person received 1/5 of the estate,

the 3rd person received 1/5 of the estate,

and the 4th person received 1/10 of the estate.

Let the 5th person received the x part of the estate.

The sum of all the fractional parts of one estate equals to 1, so

[tex]\frac 1 8+\frac 1 5+\frac 1 5+\frac 1 {10}+x=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 5 8 +x =1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x =1-\frac 5 8 =\frac 3 8.[/tex]

Hence, the last person received 3/8  of the estate.

the water park is a popular field trip destination. This year the senior class at High School A and the senior class at High School B both planned trips
there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 10 vans and 8 buses with 472 students. High School B rented and filled 9 vans and 8 buses
with 456 students. Every van had the same number of students in it as did the buses. Find the number of students in each van and in each bus.
Sort the steps in order to solve this system of equations.

Answers

Answer:

The sorted steps are;

1) Write the equations: 10·x + 8·y = 472 and 9·x + 8·y = 456

2) Multiply to get one variable to eliminate: -90·x - 72·y = -4248 and 90·x + 80·y = 4560

3) Eliminate x's: 8·y = 312

4) Solve for y: y = 39 (39 buses)

5)Plug back in to find x: 10·x + 8·(39) = 472

6) Solve for x: x = 16 (16 vans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = The number of students in each van and y = The number of students in each bus

We have;

For High School A;

10·x + 8·y = 472...(1)

For High School B;

9·x + 8·y = 456...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by (-9) and equation (2) by 10 to get

(10·x + 8·y) × (-9) = 472 × (-9)

-90·x -72·y = -4,248...(3)

9·x + 8·y × (10)= 456 × (10)

90·x + 80·y = 4,560...(4)

Add equation (3) to (4) gives;

-90·x -72·y + 90·x + 80·y = -4,248 + 4,560

90·x - 90·x -72·y + 80·y = -4,248 + 4,560

8·y = 312

y = 312/8 = 39

y = 39

Substituting the value of y in equation (1), gives;

10·x + 8·y = 10·x + 8 × 39 = 472

10·x + 312 = 472

10·x  = 472 - 312 = 160

10·x  = 160

x = 160/10 = 16

x = 16

The number of students in each van = x = 16 students

The number of students in each bus = y = 39 students.

point slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
slope formula: m = y2-y1/x2-x1

substitute in for slope formula: -3 -2/0-4 = -5/-4 = 5/4
so the slope is 5/4

now pick any point (i’m using (4,2)) and plug it it in with the slope into point slope form

y-2 = 5/4(x - 4)

now solve

The frequency distribution shows the number of registered motor vehicles for a random sample of 200 California households.

(a) Find the mean number of registered vehicles per California household.
Answer:
____vehicles
(b) Find the median number of registered vehicles per California household.
Answer:
___vehicles

Answers

Answer:

1). Mean = 2.275

2). Median = 2 vehicles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table,

Number of vehicles (x)         Frequency (f)      (f)×(x)             Cumulative freq.

                  0                                    11                  0                           11

                  1                                     52                52                        63

                  2                                    66                132                      129

                  3                                    35                105                      164

                  4                                    19                  76                       183

                  5                                    12                  60                       195

                  6                                     5                  30                       200

                                                                          [tex]\sum (f\times x) = 455[/tex]

Number of households = 200

Mean = [tex]\sum \frac{f.x}{n}[/tex]

          = [tex]\frac{455}{200}[/tex]

         = 2.275

Median = value of [tex]\frac{(n+1)}{2}th[/tex] observation

             = value of [tex]\frac{201}{2}th[/tex] observation

             = Value of 100.5th observation

             = Since 100.5th observation lies in the row of cumulative freq. = 129

             = 2

Therefore, median number of registered vehicles per California household

= 2 vehicles

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation

Simplify each sideSeparate the variable on one side and the numerical term on the other sideMake the coefficient of the variable equal 1

Let us do these steps with our question to find x

∵ 4(2x + 7) = 12 - 2(10 - 2x)

→ Simplify each side

∵ 4(2x) + 4(7) = 12 - 2(10) - 2(-2x)

8x + 28 = 12 - 20 + 4x

→ Add the like terms in the right side

∵ 8x + 28 = (12 - 20) + 4x

8x + 28 = -8 + 4x

→ Subtract 28 from both sides

∵ 8x + 28 - 28 = -8 - 28 + 4x

8x = -36 + 4x

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∵ 8x - 4x = -36 + 4x - 4x

4x = -36

→ Make coefficient of x equal 1 by dividing both sides by 4

∴ [tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-36}{4}[/tex]

so we have

[tex](x+1)^2\\\\(x+1)^2=a^2\\\\25\longrightarrow 5^2\\\\5^2=b^2\\\\[/tex]

and we apply the formula

[tex](x+1)^2-25=[(x+1)-5][(x+1)+5]\\\\=(x+1-5)(x+1+5)\\\\=(x-4)(x+6)[/tex]

show how the point at (4,5) on the graph of f(x) translates for f(x-2)+7​

Answers

Answer:

The point at (4,5) on the graph of f(x) translates for f(x-2)+7​ is (6,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Function of graph : f(x)

Rule : f(x)→f(x-c)

When the graph shifts to right by c units

Coordinates (x,y)→(x+c,y)

Rule : f(x)→f(x)+c

When the graph shifts up by c units

Coordinates (x,y)→(x,y+c)

So, Graph f(x-2)+7

Now given graph f(x)

Shift this right by 2 units and then shift up by 7 units

So, f(x)→ f(x-2)+7

Now , Translation of point(4,5)

Using rule :

When shift by 2 units right

(4,5) →(4+2,5)=(6,5)

Now  shift up by 7 units

(6,5) →(6,5+7)=(6,12)

So, the point at (4,5) on the graph of f(x) translates for f(x-2)+7​ is (6,12)

A patient is placed in an elliptical tank that is 178 centimeters long and 102 centimeters wide to undergo sound wave lithotripsy treatment for kidney stones. Determine where the sound emitter and the stone should be positioned relative to the center of the tank

Answers

Complete Question

The  diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The position of the emitter is  [tex]E =  +  72.9 \  cm\ from\ the\ center [/tex]

The position of the stone is   [tex]S =  - 72.9 \  cm\ from\ the\ center [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length is  l =  178 cm

    The  width is  w  =  102 cm  

Generally the position of the stone along the horizontal axis is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]h  =  \frac{178}{2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]h  = 89 \  cm   [/tex]

Generally the position of the emitter along the vertical axis is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]k =  \frac{102}{2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]k  = 51 \  cm   [/tex]      

Generally the  resultant position of both stone and the emitter is

       [tex]R  =  \pm \sqrt{h^ 2  - k^2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]R  = \pm  \sqrt{89^ 2  - 51^2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]R  = \pm 72.9 \  cm   [/tex]

Hence the position of the emitter is  [tex]E =  +  72.9 \  cm[/tex]

            the position of the stone is   [tex]S =  - 72.9 \  cm[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]g=\frac{2m+b}{k}[/tex] ⇒ 2nd answer

[tex]x=\frac{c}{(a+b)}[/tex] ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve any equation for one of its variable do that:

Separate the variable on one side and the other terms on the other sideMake the coefficient of the variable = 1

[tex]\frac{2m+b}{g}=k[/tex]

→ Multiply both sides by g to take g to the right side

∴ [tex]\frac{(2m+b)(g)}{g}=k(g)[/tex]

∴ 2m + b = kg

→ Divide both sides by k, to move k to the left side

∵ [tex]\frac{2m+b}{k}=\frac{kg}{k}[/tex]

∴ [tex]\frac{2m+b}{k}=g[/tex]

→ Switch the two sides

∴ [tex]g=\frac{2m+b}{k}[/tex]

ax + bx = c

→ Take x as a common factor from the both terms on the left side

x(a + b) = c

→ Divide both sides by (a + b) to move it to the right sides

∴ [tex]\frac{x(a+b)}{(a+b)}=\frac{c}{(a+b)}[/tex]

∴ [tex]x=\frac{c}{(a+b)}[/tex]
