Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal:

Score, x = 560

Mean, m = 460

Standard deviation, s = 132

Quantitative :

Score, x = 740

Mean, m = 452

Standard deviation, s = 140

a)

Verbal :

X ~ N(460, 132)

Quantitative :

X ~ N(452, 140)

(b)

What is her Z score on the Verbal Reasoning section? On the Quantitative Reasoning section? Draw a standard normal distribution curve and mark these two Z scores.

Zscore = (x - m) / s

Verbal :

Zscore = (560 - 460) / 132 = 0.758

Quantitative :

Zscore = (740 - 452) /140 = 2.057

(c.)

He has a higher standardized score in the quantitative than the verbal score.

(d.)

The Zscore shows that he performed better in the quantitative reasoning than verbal.

(e) Find her percentile scores for the two exams.

(f) What percent of the test takers did better than her on the Verbal Reasoning section? On the Quantitative Reasoning section?

Verbal :

Score greater than 560

P(x > 560) :

Z = (560 - 460) / 132 = 0.758

P(Z > 0.758) = 0.22423 = 22.4%

Quantitative :

Score greater than 740

P(x > 740) :

Z = (740 - 452) / 140 = 2.057

P(Z > 0.758) = 0.0198 = 1.98%

Answers

Answer:

A)  36√3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, figure out the height.  Since it's an equilateral triangle, it would be

6²+B²=12²

36+B²=144

B²=144-36

B²=108

B=√108

B=√36x√3

B=6√3

Now we can get the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

A shirt costs 20$ if it was on sale for 75 percent off what is the discount

Answers

You could do x/20 =75/100 and then cross multiply
Then you would have 100x=75*20 and if you simplify all the way you would get x=15
So the discount would be $15

Hope this helps :)
if the shirt cost $20 before discount:
convert 75% to decimal- so divide by 100; you will get 0.75
then you multiply 20 and 0.75
20 x 0.75 = 15
answer: the discount is $15
(however, remember that the new shirt price would be $5)

if the shirt cost $20 after discount:
we know that 100% is the whole, and 75% is the discount, so this means that the leftover 25% = $20
so using proportions,
25/100=20/x, cross multiply & simplify you would get x = 80
to find the discount, subtract the cost from the original price and get 60
answer: the discount was $60
(however remember the original price of the shirt was $80)

Suppose 7x-5 M=- 3 x-8 and NE 2 2 x - 5 x - 50 X - 14 x +40 and you want to add the fractions M and N, in other words you want to compute 7x-5 3 x - 8 2 x - 5 x - 50 x - 14 x + 40 and simplify the result. We know that, before you can add the fractions, you must find a common denominator and rewrite each fraction so it has that common denominator. Once the rewritten fractions have the same denominator, you can add them and simplify the result.
There are four text boxes below. In the first text box, enter a common denominator for the two fractions. In the second text box, rewrite M so that it possesses the common denominator you found. Note that your entry in this text box should equal M, however it should have the common denominator you found. In the third text box, rewrite N so that it possesses the common denominator you found. In the last text box, compute your simplified answer for M N . Make sure that your answer is simplified; the numerator and denominator of your answer for M N should not have common factors. Note that your entry for the common denominator should be a polynomial with integer coefficients. Your other three entries should be fractions that contain polynomials. All of your answers should contain no letters other than the variables that appear in M and N. Do not include an equals sign with any of your answers.

Answer:

[tex](a)[/tex] [tex]Denominator= (x - 10)(x+5)(x-4)[/tex]

[tex](b)[/tex] [tex]M = \frac{(7x - 5)(x-4)}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

[tex](c)[/tex] [tex]N = \frac{(3x - 8)(x + 5)}{(x-4)(x-10)(x + 5)}[/tex]

[tex](d)[/tex] [tex]M + N = \frac{10x^2-26x -20}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]M = \frac{7x - 5}{x^2 -5x - 50}[/tex]

[tex]N = \frac{3x - 8}{x^2 -14x+ 40}[/tex]

Solving (a): A common denominator of M and N.

To do this, we simply get the LCM of both denominators

[tex]M = x^2 - 5x - 50[/tex]

[tex]N = x^2 - 14x + 40[/tex]

Factorize both:

[tex]M = (x - 10)(x + 5)[/tex]

[tex]N = (x- 10)(x - 4)[/tex]

The LCM is

[tex]LCM= (x - 10)(x+5)(x-4)[/tex]

Hence, the common denominator is:

[tex]Denominator= (x - 10)(x+5)(x-4)[/tex]

Solving (b): Rewrite M

[tex]M = \frac{7x - 5}{x^2 -5x - 50}[/tex]

Factor the denominator:

[tex]M = \frac{7x - 5}{(x+5)(x - 10)}[/tex]

The LCM calculated in (a) above is:

[tex]LCM= (x - 10)(x+5)(x-4)[/tex]

So, we have to multiply the numerator and denominator of M by (x - 4)

The expression becomes:

[tex]M = \frac{7x - 5}{(x+5)(x - 10)} * \frac{x - 4}{x-4}[/tex]

[tex]M = \frac{(7x - 5)(x-4)}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

Solving (c): Rewrite N

[tex]N = \frac{3x - 8}{x^2 -14x+ 40}[/tex]

Factor the denominator:

[tex]N = \frac{3x - 8}{(x-4)(x-10)}[/tex]

The LCM calculated in (a) above is:

[tex]LCM= (x - 10)(x+5)(x-4)[/tex]

So, we have to multiply the numerator and denominator of N by (x + 5)

The expression becomes:

[tex]N = \frac{3x - 8}{(x-4)(x-10)} * \frac{x + 5}{x + 5}[/tex]

[tex]N = \frac{(3x - 8)(x + 5)}{(x-4)(x-10)(x + 5)}[/tex]

(d) Solve M + N

[tex]M + N = \frac{(7x - 5)(x-4)}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)} + \frac{(3x - 8)(x + 5)}{(x-4)(x-10)(x + 5)}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]M + N = \frac{(7x - 5)(x-4) + (3x - 8)(x + 5)}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]M + N = \frac{7x^2 - 28x - 5x + 20 + 3x^2 + 15x - 8x - 40}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]M + N = \frac{7x^2 + 3x^2- 28x - 5x + 15x - 8x + 20 - 40}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

[tex]M + N = \frac{10x^2-26x -20}{(x+5)(x - 10)(x-4)}[/tex]

27. The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 7:5 and the perimeter is 240m, find the area of

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 3500[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Length : Breadth = 7 : 5[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 240m\\[/tex]

Required

Determine the area

The perimeter is:

[tex]Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)[/tex]

This is then represented as:

[tex]240 = 2(7x + 5x)[/tex]

[tex]240 = 2 * 12x[/tex]

[tex]240 = 24x[/tex]

[tex]10 = x[/tex]

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

So, the area is:

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area = 7x * 5x[/tex]

[tex]Area = 7*10 * 5*10[/tex]

[tex]Area = 3500[/tex]

PLEASE HELP!! Eliminate the parameter in the equations y = t + 2 and x =t^1/2.How can the rectangular equation be described?

Answers

Answer:

Quadratic (I took the test)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=t+2 equals y-2=t

put t in for x=t^1/2. this is x=(y-2)^1/2, which equals x^2=y-2.

add 2 to both sides, which is y=x^2+2 . This is an example of a quadratic equation (you kinda just need to know the format of different types of equations for the last part. It isn't cubic because it has a number added to it, isn't linear because the x is squared, and tbh I have no clue what quartic is.)

This is an example of a quadratic equation.

We have given that the equation

y=t+2 equals y-2=t

What is the quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a,b are and c represents the constant.

put t in for x=t^1/2. this is x=(y-2)^1/2,

Squaring both sides we get,

x^2=y-2.

add 2 to both sides, which is y=x^2+2.

This is an example of a quadratic equation.

The required profit is 300.

What is profit?

Profit in Math is considered as the gain amount from any business activity.

Now the given function of profit is,

P = 30x + 50y

The Corner that maximizes profit is (0, 6)

Thus, At (0, 6) the given function is given as,

Put x = 0 and y = 6 in the given function.

P(0, 6) = 30*0 + 50*6

⇒ P(0, 6) = 0 + 300

P(0, 6) = 300

this is the required profit.

Thus, the required profit is 300.

Write the difference in factored form. (24x4 - 15x2 + 6x) - (10x4 + 5x2 - 4x)​

Answers

Answer:

The factored difference is: [tex]2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference in non factored form:

To find the difference in non-factored form, we subtract the common terms. So

[tex]24x^4 - 15x^2 + 6x - (10x^4 + 5x^2 - 4x) = 24x^4 - 10x^4 - 15x^2 - 5x^2 + 6x + 4x = 14x^4 - 20x^2 + 10x[/tex]

Greatest common factor:

Of the exponents: Between [tex]x^4, x^2[/tex] and [tex]x[/tex], it is the one with the lowest exponent, so x.

Between 14, 20 and 10:

14 - 20 - 10|2

7 - 10 - 5

So 2

The gcf is 2x, which means that the factored expression is:

[tex]2x(\frac{14x^4}{2x} - \frac{20x^2}{2x} + \frac{10x}{2x}) = 2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]

The factored difference is: [tex]2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]
