Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. To determine the value of a, set up and solve a system of equations in two variables. The value of a is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates F(b+1, a+2, M(3,5) and G(2a, 3b+3), if M is the midpoint of F and G then, to get the value of a and b we will use the formula for calculating the midpoint a shown;

M(X, Y) = (x₁+x₂/2, y₁+y₂/2)

X = x₁+x₂/2 and  Y = y₁+y₂/2

From the given coordinates x₁ = b+1, y₁ = a+2, x₂ = 2a, y₂ = 3b+3, X = 3 and Y = 5

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we can form up a simultaneous equation and get the value of a.

To determine the value of a, set up and solve a system of equations in two variables

For the X coordinates;

X = x₁+x₂/2

3 = b+1+2a/2

6 = 2a+b+1

2a+b = 5 ............... 1  * 1

For the Y coordinates;

5 = a+2+3b+3/2

cross multiply

10 =  a+2+3b+3

collect like terms

a+3b = 10-2-3

a+3b = 5 ........ 2  * 2

Solving the resulting  simultaneous equation to get the value of a

multiply equation 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 to have the resulting equations;

2a+b = 5 ...........3  

2a +6b = 10.......... 4

subtract 3 from 4

(2a-2a)+(b - 6b) = 5-10

0-5b = -5

b = -5/-5

b = 1

substitute b =1 into equation 1 to get a;

2a + b = 5

2a + 1 = 5

2a = 5-1

2a = 4

a = 2

From the calculation above it is seen that the value of variable a can be determined and it is equivalent to 2

Last year, Kenia got a 350 on her 6th Grade Math EOG. This year Kenia earned a 399, which was a high enough score to make a Level 4. What was the percent of increase in Kenia's score?

Answers

Answer:

14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year's score = 350

This year's score = 399

What was the percent of increase in Kenia's score

Percentage increase= (new score - old score) / old score × 100

= (399-350) / 350 × 100

= 49 / 350 × 100

= 0.14 × 100

= 14%

The percent of increase in Kenia's score is 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). There are two production methods it could use. With one method, the one-time fixed costs will total $82,910, and the variable costs will be $10.75 per book. With the other method, the one-time fixed costs will total $22,110 , and the variable costs will be $23.25 per book. For how many books produced will the costs from the two methods be the same?

Answers

Answer:

When 4864 books are sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where x is the number of books produced:

The first method will be represented by 10.75x + 82,910

The second method will be represented by 23.25x + 22,110

Set these equal to each other and solve for x:

10.75x + 82,910 = 23.25x + 22,110

82,910 = 12.5x + 22,110

60,800 = 12.5x

4864 = x

So, the costs will be the same for both methods when 4864 books are sold

Angle 2 measures 37 degrees. The measurements of angles 2 and 3 need to equal 180 when added together as they form a straight line, so take the total (180) and subtract the value of angle 2 (37). 180-37=143

Triangle MNO is a right triangle with one leg = 15ft and the other leg = 18ft. Calculate the
length of the hypotenuse to the nearest hundredth of a foot (2 decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

Length of the hypotenuse = 23.43ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First leg = 15ft

Second leg = 18ft

Length of the hypotenuse = ?

In a right angle triangle,

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + Adjacent^2

Let first leg and second leg of the triangle be opposite and adjacent respectively

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + Adjacent^2

= 15^2 + 18^2

= 225 + 324

= 549

Hypotenuse^2 = 549

Find the square root of both sides

√Hypotenuse^2 = 549

Hypotenuse = 23.43ft to the nearest of a hundredth

Length of the hypotenuse = 23.43ft

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 334ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 47 ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions.

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle = 60ft by 107ft

Where 60 ft = Width of the playing field

107ft = Length of the playing field

Step-by-step explanation:

A playing field is Rectangular is shape, hence,

The formula for Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)

P = 334 ft

L = 47 + W

W = W

Hence we input these values in the formula and we have:

334 = 2(47 + W + W)

334 = 2(47 + 2W)

334 = 94 + 4W

334 - 94 = 4W

240 = 4W

W = 240/4

W = 60

There fore, the width of this playing field = 60 ft

The length of this rectangle is calculated as:

47 + W

47 + 60

= 107 ft

The length of this playing field = 107ft

Therefore the dimensions of the rectangle = 60ft by 107ft

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,2) and (0,2) have the same y value. Functions cannot share the same y value

The relationships represents by {(−2, 3), (−1, 2), (0, 2), (−2, 9)} is not function.

Given that,  {(−2, 3), (−1, 2), (0, 2), (−2, 9)}. Is this relation a function is to be specified.

What are functions?

Functions are the relationship between sets of values. e g y=f(x), for every value of x there is its exists in a set of y. x is the independent variable while Y is the dependent variable.

Here,
In the relation  {(−2, 3), (−1, 2), (0, 2), (−2, 9)}
(−2, 3), (−2, 9) are two pairs that show two images of one pre-image that why it is not a  function.
