Explanation:
x = original amount of caster oil (in quarts)
Since 15% remains, this means you used 85% of the original amount x.
Note how 15% + 85% = 100%
So,
85% of x = 34 quarts
0.85x = 34
x = 34/0.85
x = 40
You started with 40 quarts of oil.
15% of that remains, meaning 0.15*40 = 6 quarts of oil are left over.
-----------
We could also solve like this
(amount used)/(amount total) = (percent)/(100)
34/x = 85/100
34*100 = x*85
3400 = 85x
85x = 3400
x = 3400/85
x = 40
So we end up with the same x value as before, and we follow the same set of steps at the end of the first section to end up with the answer of 6 quarts.

Answer:
$5084745.76271
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Final amount= $6000000
Rate=6%
Time= 3 years
Now let us find the initial amount which is the principal
using the simple interest formula we have
6000000 = P(1+0.06*3)

If f(x) = 7x - 3 and g(x) = x^2, what is (g° 0(1)?
( f ∘ g ) ( x ) is equivalent to f ( g ( x ) ) . We solve this problem just as we solve f ( x ) . But since it asks us to find out f ( g ( x ) ) , in f ( x ) , each time we encounter x, we replace it with g ( x ) . In the above problem, f ( x ) = x + 3 . Therefore, f ( g ( x ) ) = g ( x ) + 3 . ⇒ ( f ∘ g ) ( x ) = 2 x − 7 + 3 ⇒ ( f ∘ g ) ( x ) = 2 x − 4 Basically, write the g ( x ) equation where you see the x in the f ( x ) equation. f ∘ g ( x ) = ( g ( x ) ) + 3 Replace g ( x ) with the equation f ∘ g ( x ) = ( 2 x − 7 ) + 3 f ∘ g ( x ) = 2 x − 7 + 3 we just took away the parentheses f ∘ g ( x ) = 2 x − 4 Because the − 7 + 3 = 4 This is it g ∘ f ( x ) would be the other way around g ∘ f ( x ) = 2 ( x + 3 ) − 7 now you have to multiply what is inside parentheses by 2 because thats whats directly in front of them. g ∘ f ( x ) = 2 x + 6 − 7 Next, + 6 − 7 = − 1 g ∘ f ( x ) = 2 x − 1
Hello,
[tex]f(x)=7x-3\\g(x)=x^2\\\\(fog)(x)=g(f(x))=g(7x-3)=(7x-3)^2=49x^2-42x+9\\\\(gof)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x^2)=7x^2-3\\\\(fog)(0)=g(f(0))=49*0^2-42*0+9=9\\\\(gof)(0)=f(g(0))=7*0^2-3=-3\\[/tex]

Decide if the following scenario involves a permutation or combination. Then find the number of possibilities.
The batting order for nine players on a team with 11 people.
Given:
The batting order for nine players on a team with 11 people.
To find:
The number of possibilities for the given scenario.
Solution:
First, we need to select 9 players from 11 people, it involves combination, i.e. [tex]^{11}C_9[/tex].
Second, we need to arrange the order of 9 selected players, it involves permutation, i.e., [tex]^9P_9[/tex].
The number of possibilities for the given scenario is:
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=^{11}C_9\times ^9P_9[/tex]
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=\dfrac{11!}{(11-9)!9!}\times \dfrac{9!}{(9-9)!}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=\dfrac{11\times 10\times 9!}{2!9!}\times \dfrac{9!}{0!}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=\dfrac{110}{2\times 1}\times \dfrac{9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=55\times 362880[/tex]
[tex]\text{Possibilities}=19958400[/tex]
Therefore, the following scenario involves both permutation and combination, and the number of possibilities is 19958400.
Sales of a certain product are declining at a rate proportional to the amount of sales. If at the end of the first year the sales have declined by 22%, then how many years will have passed (since the beginning of the first year) when sales become only 31% of their original value? Express your answer as a decimal, correct to within 0.001 years.
Answer:
The answer is "6.093 years".
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of decline in sales in [tex]22\%[/tex] per year.
The starting sales is 100 units:
Using compounding formula:
[tex]\to 100 \times (1-\frac{22}{100})^t=22\% \ of \ 100\\\\\to 100 \times (\frac{100-22}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100} \times \ 100\\\\\to (\frac{78}{100})^t=\frac{22}{100}\\\\\to 0.78^t=0.22\\\\\text{taking \log on both the sides}\\\\[/tex]
taking log on both sides
[tex]\to \log_e \ 0.78^t= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t \log_e \ 0.78= \log_e\ 0.22\\\\\to t = \frac{\log_e 0.22}{\log_e 0.78}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{-0.6575}{-0.1079}\\\\= \frac{0.6575}{0.1079}\\\\=6.093[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 18 \ yards}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This triangle is a right triangle. We know this because of the small square in the corner representing a 90 degree angle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
In this formula a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
In this triangle, the legs are 24 and a, because these sides form the right angle. 30 is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a=a b= 24 c= 30Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]a^2+(24)^2=(30)^2[/tex]
Solve the exponents.
(24)²= 24*24=576 (30)^2= 30*30=900[tex]a^2+ 576=900[/tex]
We are solving for a, the missing side of the triangle. We must isolate the variable. 576 is being added. The inverse of addition is subtraction, Subtract 576 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]a^2+576-576=900-576\\a^2=900-576\\a^2=324[/tex]
a is being squared. The inverse of a square is a square root. Take the square root of both sides.
[tex]\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{324}\\a=\sqrt{324}\\a=18[/tex]
The missing side of the triangle is 18 yards.
I need help. Someone please figure it out
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2^{n} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The rules of exponents state that
[tex]a^{-m}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{a^{m} }[/tex] and [tex]a^{0}[/tex] = 1
Thus
[tex]2^{-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2^{5} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{32}[/tex]
[tex]2^{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2^{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
[tex]2^{-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2^{3} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Nine times the sum of a number and 4 is 3.
Using interval notation, identify the domain for the function:
Answer:
d)
Step-by-step explanation:
>The domain are all the values of x , so you can graph on the calculator that on the x-axis the graph starts at 9 and keeps going to the right so the domain is x≥9 or [9,∞)
or
>Solve for x in the given equation when f(x) =y = 0 to find the roots
√(x-9) = 0 , square both sides
x-9 = 0 , add 9 to both sides
x= 9
from this root the graph moves to the right to ∞
the domain is [9, ∞)
685 gym members were asked if they use the elliptical machine or treadmill as their primary cardiovascular exercise. 257 said they use the treadmill, 157 said they use the elliptical, and 85 said they use both.
a.) Organize this using a venn diagram (2 marks)
b.) A gym member is chosen from this group. What is the probability that this member uses the treadmill only? (1 mark)
Given:
Total number of gym members = 685
257 said they use the treadmill, 157 said they use the elliptical, and 85 said they use both.
To find:
a. The venn diagram.
b. The probability that a member uses the treadmill only?
Solution:
(a)
We have,
Total number of gym members = 685
Treadmill user = 257
Elliptical user = 157
Who use both = 85
Only treadmill user is:
[tex]257-85=172[/tex]
Only Elliptical used
[tex]157-85=72[/tex]
Therefore, the venn diagram for the given situation is shown below.
(b)
The member who use treadmill only = 172
Total user = 685
The probability that a member uses the treadmill only is:
[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{\text{Only treadmill users}}{\text{Total users}}[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{Only treadmill})=\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a member uses the treadmill only is [tex]\dfrac{172}{685}[/tex].

[tex] \frac{3}{x} = \frac{11}{10} - \frac{4}{5} \\ \frac{3}{x} = \frac{55 - 40}{50} \\ \frac{3}{x} = \frac{15}{50} \\ \frac{3}{x} = \frac{3}{10} \\ x = 10[/tex]
Here are the first five terms of a sequence. 4, 11, 22, 37, 56 Find an expression, in terms of , for the th term of this sequence.
Answer:
[tex] a_n = 2n^2 + n + 1 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
4, 11, 22, 37, 56
11 - 4 = 7
22 - 11 = 11
37 - 22 = 15
56 - 37 = 19
After the first difference, 11 - 4 = 7, each difference is 4 more than the previous difference.
Difference of differences:
11 - 7 = 4
15 - 11 = 4
19 - 15 = 4
Since we need the difference of differences to find a constant, this must be a second degree function.
[tex] a_1 = 4 = 2^2 + 1(0)[/tex]
[tex] a_2 = 11 = 3^2 + 2 = 3^2 + 2(1) [/tex]
[tex] a_3 = 22 = 4^2 + 6 = 4^2 + 3(2) [/tex]
[tex] a_4 = 37 = 5^2 + 12 = 5^2 + 4(3) [/tex]
[tex]a_5 = 56 = 6^2 + 20 = 6^2 + 5(4)[/tex]
[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]
[tex] a_n = (n + 1)^2 + (n)(n - 1) [/tex]
[tex] a_n = n^2 + 2n + 1 + n^2 - n [/tex]
[tex] a_n = 2n^2 + n + 1 [/tex]
