1. Gertrude said her survey showed 2/3 of her math class liked hip hop music. There are 24 students in the class. Is it possible that Gertrude's survey is correct?
My Answer: Yes it's correct because 2/3 = 36 since 24/2=12 and 12*3=36

Answers

Answer 1

There are 24 students in the class. Take 2/3 of this to get (2/3)*24 = 16

A more detailed step by step would be

(2/3)*24 = (2/3)*(24/1) = (2*24)/(3*1) = 48/3 = 16

The result 16 is smaller than the original number 24. This is expected because 2/3 is smaller than 1. The key thing here is that the result 16 is a whole number.

You can think of 2/3 as the approximate percentage 66.7%, so you're applying roughly 66.7% to the entire class to get 16 people who like hip hop.

It appears you're thinking in reverse when you went from 24 to 36, because 2/3 of 36 is 24, but not the other way around. Keep in mind there are 24 students total in the class, and we can't go higher than this. We can't say there are 36 people who like hip hop.

So to answer the question, yes it is possible Gertrude's survey is correct because 2/3 of 24 is a whole number.

(1) 8/3
(2) 1272
(3) 673

PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of square = [tex]12\sqrt{2}\,\,inches[/tex].

None of the given options is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of diagonal of the square = 6 inches

To find: perimeter of square

Solution:

Let x denotes side of square

Diagonal of square = [tex]\sqrt{2}x[/tex]

Also,  length of diagonal of the square = 6 inches

So,

[tex]x=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}\\=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \right )\\=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Perimeter refers to the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

Perimeter of square = 4×side

=[tex]4(3\sqrt{2})=12\sqrt{2}\,\,inches[/tex]

So, none of the given options is correct.

How many ounces of Halloween candy does Jack have left?

Answers

Answer:

Amount of ounces of candy left = 22ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of halloween candy bought by Jack = 5pounds

Amount he gave trick = 3pounds

Amount jack ate = 10ounces

Before we can determine the amount of halloween candy that Jack has left, we need to convert the pounds to ounces in order to make the units consistent.

given 1pound = 16ounces

5pounds = 16* 5 ounces

5pounds = 80ounces

Also;

3pounds = 16*3 ounces

3pounds = 48ounces

Total amount of halloween used up by Jack = 48ounces + 10ounces

= 58ounces

Amount of ounces of candy left = Total amount of candy bought -amount used up

Amount of ounces of candy left = 80ounces - 58ounces

Amount of ounces of candy left = 22ounces

She wants you to find out if it's possible to bend one piece of wire into the shape of a square and the

squared. If this is possible, find the length of the side of the square, x, and the radius of the circle,
y. (Smurfette's Hint: Just smurf the smurf and the smurf...then smurf smurf the
smurf...and...smurf!!)

Answers

Answer:

take x=2.515834 and r=14.31386

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call the the lenght of the side of the square as x. The total lenght of the wire is 100. Note that if we have a square of side x, it has a perimeter of 4x. That means, that we need a wire of length 4x to build a square of side x. Note that if we take a wire of length 4x, we have that the remainder is 100-4x. We will use this to form a circle. As for the square, since we are using the wire of length 100-4x to build a circle, it must happen that the perimeter of the circle is 100-4x.

Recall that the perimeter of a circle of radius r is [tex]2\pi r[/tex], so in this case , we have that [tex] 2\pi r = 100-4x[/tex] which implies that [tex]r =\frac{100-4x}{2\pi}[/tex].

Now, recall that the area of a square of side x is [tex]x^2[/tex]. Also, recall that the area of a circle of radius r is [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]. In our case, the area of the circle is given by

[tex] \pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{100-4x}{2\pi})^2[/tex]

Also, we are given that the sum of the areas of both figures is 650. That is

[tex] x^2 + \pi (\frac{100-4x}{2\pi})^2 = x^2+\frac{(100-4x)^2}{4\pi}=650[/tex]

By substracting 650 on both sides and multiplying by [tex]4\pi[/tex] this equation is equivalent to

[tex]4\pi x^2 + (100-4x)^2-650\cdot 4\pi =0[/tex]

if we expand [tex](100-4x)^2[/tex] and then group each term of x, x^2 we get :

[tex](4\pi+16)x^2-800x+100^2-650\cdot 4\pi =0[/tex]

Recall that given a cuadractic equation of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] the solution is given by

[tex] x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, the existence of a real solution is given by the expression [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]. For it to have a real solution, it must happen that [tex]b^2-4ac\geq 0[/tex]

In this case, b=-800, c = 100^2-650\cdot 4\pi, a = 4\pi+16[/tex]

For this values, we get that [tex]b^2-4ac = 430681\geq 0[/tex], so the is a solution for our problem.

In this case,

[tex] x = \frac{-b - \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}= 2.515834[/tex]

and [tex] x = \frac{-b + \sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}= 25.4891[/tex] are the two possible solutions for this problem. We can check that this values of x fulfill our restrictions. Note that if x=25.4891, by replacing in the value of r, we get that r=-0.3113853. Since r is the radius of the circle, it must be positive. Hence, x=25.4891 is discarted.For x=2.515834 we get a value of r=14.31386, so this is the answer

Answer:

x ≈ - 0.7 ≈ 0.7; Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us substitute f ( x ) with 0, as to find the " real zero value( s ) " of the function;

0 = 3x^4 + x^2 - 1 ⇒ Swap sides, as such,

3x^4 + x^2 - 1 = 0 ⇒ Rewrite equation with u being = x^2, u^2 = x^2,

3u^2 + u - 1 = 0 ⇒ And solve for u by completing the square,

3u^2 + u = 1 ⇒ Divide either side by 3,

u^2 + u / 3 = 1 / 3 ⇒ Write equation in the form x^2 + 2ax + a^2 = ( x + a )^2, solving for a,

2au = 1 / 3u,

a = ( 1 / 3u ) / 2u,

a = 1 / 6 ⇒ Add value of a^2 to either side of equation,

u^2 + u / 3 + ( 1 / 6 )^2 = 13 / 36,

( u + 1/ 6 )^2 = 13 / 36 ⇒ Solve for u,

u = ( √13 - 1 ) / 6, and u = ( - √13 - 1 ) / 6 ⇒ Substitute value of u back into first equation to solve for x,

x = √( - 1 + √13 ) / 6 ), x = - √( - 1 + √13 ) / 6 ), x = √( - 1 - √13 ) / 6 ), x = - √( - 1 - √13 ) / 6 ) ⇒ Convert to approximate decimal form,

Q 6) Total time taken to answer both the quizzes = 90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Q 5.

Let the number of boys = x

Therefore, number of girls = x - 5

Since,

No. of boys + No. of girls = 35

hence,

x + x- 5 = 35

2x-5 = 35

2x = 35 + 5

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

Hence 20 boys participated in the activity.

Let the time taken to answer history quiz= x min

Therefore, time taken to answer geography quiz = (x + 30) min

According to the given information:

2x - x = 30

x = 30 min

Hence, x + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60 min

Total time taken to answer both the quizzes = 30 + 60 = 90 minutes

The length of the shorter leg is 11 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse? ______ units

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 6)

sin Y= m

sin Y = m/1

So, hypotenuse is 1

Since sine is opposite over hypotenuse

So XZ= m and YZ = 1

Similarly, cos Y = k

cos Y = k/1

So adjacent side of angle Y is k

So XY = k

cos z - sin z = [tex]\frac{XZ }{YZ } - \frac{XY}{YZ}[/tex]

cos z - sin z = [tex]\frac{m }{1 } - \frac{k}{1}[/tex]

cos z - sin z = m - k

Question 7)

the relationship between sine, cosine, and tangent.

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (11/61)/(60/61)

tan(x) = 11/60

Question 8)

Start with where the shorter leg is. It must be opposite the smallest angle.

In a 30 - 60 - 90 degree triangle you have the hypotenuse to be twice as long as the shortest side. You have to read that a couple of times to make sure you understand it. 

That being said, if the shortest side is x, the hypotenuse will be 2x.

Since in this case the shortest side is 11, the hypotenuse will be 2*11 = 22

The answer is 22

Answer:

D. He distributed Negative one-fourth over (8 x + 12), distributed –1 over (Negative 2 x + 5), and then combined like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when using the distributive property, you have to multiply the outside value with the inside value and then either subtract or add.

You can combine like terms first, but that is only if there are like terms inside the parentheses. In this case, there are not, so you would distribute first.

So, to do that, you have to first distribute -1/4 to the 8x+12 and then distribute the -1 to the -2x+5. (note that they did not include the 1, but it is still there)
