Marcelle and Megan realized that they could express their ages more specifically if they used fractions. Doing this will allow them to calculate their difference in their ages. Marcelle is $15\frac{1}{2}$ years old, and Megan is $7\frac{7}{12}$. What is the difference in their ages? Express your answer as a simplified mixed number.

Answers

Answer 1

The difference in ages of Marcelle and Megan is 95/12 as an improper fraction and as a mixed number is 7 whole number and the fraction 11/12.

How to evaluate the difference in the fraction of the ages

We shall convert the fractions to have similar denominators and simply apply subtraction for the numerators as follows:

Marcelle's age = 15 whole number, 1/2

Marcelle's age = 31/2

Megan's age = 7 whole number, 7/12

Megan's age = 91/12

LCM of 2 and 12 is 12 so;

Marcelle's age = 31/2 × 12/12

Marcelle's age = 186/12

difference in their age (186 - 91)/12

difference in their age = 95/12

Therefore, the difference in the ages of Marcelle and Megan is the fraction 95/12 or as a mixed number is 7 whole number and the fraction 11/12

A town has a population of 4000 and grows at 2% every year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the population will reach 4500?

Answers

Answer:  6 years

=========================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of years

y = population

y = 4000*1.02^x

4500 = 4000*1.02^x

4500/4000 = 1.02^x

1.125 = 1.02^x

log(1.125) = log(1.02^x)

log(1.125) = x*log(1.02)

x = log(1.125)/log(1.02)

x = 5.94784893412128

Rounding to the nearest year, it takes about 6 years for the population to reach 4500 people.

---------------

Check:

Plug in x = 5

y = 4000*1.02^x

y = 4000*1.02^5

y = 4416.3232128

y = 4416

We come up a bit short. Now try x = 6

y = 4000*1.02^x

y = 4000*1.02^6

y = 4504.649677056

y = 4505

We go a bit over the target, but it's better to go over rather than come up short.

This confirms the answer is approximately 6 years.

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90 degrees counterclockwise around the origin.

Answers

Answer: J' (8, -9); K' (8, -2); L' (3, -2); M' (3, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

A rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise is (x, y) -> (-y, x), so

J (-9, -8) -> J' (8, -9)

First, you take negative 8 (y) of J and make it positive 8 for the x of J'. Then, take -9 (y) of J and switch it to x of J'.

You repeat this process for the rest of the points. X switches to Y with the opposite sign and Y switches to X but stays the same.

K (-2, -8) -> K' (8, -2)

L (-2, -3) -> (3, -2)

M (-9, -3) -> (3, -9)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

good

Solution :

Given that,

Perimeter of kite -  38 cm

Let "x" be the one side of kite

Both of the top sides are equal

Therefore, other side = x

One side of a kite is 2 cm less than 2 times the length of another

Therefore,

One of bottom side = 2x - 2

Bottom sides are also equal

Thus, other bottom side = 2x - 5

We know that,

Perimeter = sum of all sides

38 = x + x + 2x - 2 + 2x - 2

38 = 6x - 4

6x = 38 + 4

6x = 42

x = [tex]\frac{42}{6}[/tex]

x = 7

Thus length of each side of kite is:

x = 7

2x - 2 = 2(7) - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12

Thus length of each side of kite is 7 cm , 7 cm , 12cm , 12cm

Is the interval 0 to infinity open?

Answers

So the only boundary point of [0,∞) and (0,∞) is 0 itself. It is in [0,∞), so that set is closed. It is not in (0,∞), so that set is open.

In mathematics, a (real) interval is a set of real numbers that contains all real numbers lying between any two numbers of the set. For example, the set of numbers x satisfying 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 is an interval which contains 0, 1, and all numbers in between. Other examples of intervals are the set of numbers such that 0 < x < 1, the set of all real numbers

the set of nonnegative real numbers, the set of positive real numbers, the empty set, and any singleton (set of one element).

Real intervals play an important role in the theory of integration, because they are the simplest sets whose "length" (or "measure" or "size") is easy to define. The concept of measure can then be extended to more complicated sets of real numbers, leading to the Borel measure and eventually to the Lebesgue measure.

Intervals are central to interval arithmetic, a general numerical computing technique that automatically provides guaranteed enclosures for arbitrary formulas, even in the presence of uncertainties, mathematical approximations, and arithmetic roundoff.

A company is loading recliners and sofas onto a trailer that has a volume of about 3800 cubic feet. Each recliner takes up about 40 cubic feet and each sofa takes up about 80 cubic feet. The company wants the shipment to have at least 30 recliners and more than 25 sofas. Identify and interpret the ordered pair in the solution region.

Answers

The ordered pair that would be needed by the company for shipment can be loaded in the trailer as the pair will take only 3200ft³ of the volume of the trailer which is 3800 cubic feet.

How to calculate the ordered pair for shipment?

The total volume of the trailer = 3800 cubic feet

The volume of each recliner = 40 cubic feet

The volume of each sofa = 80 cubic feet

The number of recliner needed = 30

The number of sofas needed = 25

The volume that the sofa will cover = 25 × 80 = 2000

The volume that the recliner will cover= 30 × 40 = 1200

Therefore the total volume both will take = 3200 cubic feet.

[tex]x^2[/tex] - (b+c)x +bc=0  is the quadratic equation whose roots are b,c.

If the roots of a quadratic equation are given, the equation can be written by factoring the equation using the roots.

Expanding the above equation x^2 - (r1 + r2)x + r1r2 = 0

Therefore, if the roots of a quadratic equation are given as r1 and r2, the quadratic equation can be written as:

x^2 - (r1 + r2)x + r1r2 = 0

Is a solution of pair of equations 3x 2y 4 and 2x y 5?

Answers

The solution of this pair of equations is (2, 3).

To solve this pair of equations, we can use the substitution method.

First, we solve the first equation for y:

3x + 2y = 4

2y = 4 - 3x

y = (4 - 3x) / 2

Next, we substitute this expression for y in the second equation:

2x + (4 - 3x) / 2 = 5

2x + 2 - 3x = 10

-x = 8

x = -8

Finally, we substitute this value for x in the expression for y to find the value of y:

y = (4 - 3(-8)) / 2

y = (4 + 24) / 2

y = 28 / 2

y = 14

Therefore, the solution of this pair of equations is (x, y) = (-8, 14).

the function f(x)=80(0.5)^ represents the distance after a pendulum begins swinging,where x is the number of swings

Answers

It looks like there may be a typo in the function you provided. It appears that you meant to write "f(x) = 80(0.5)^x", which would represent the distance after a pendulum begins swinging, where x is the number of swings.

This function indicates that the distance traveled by the pendulum decreases by half with each swing. For example, after the first swing, the distance traveled would be 80(0.5)^1 = 40 units. After the second swing, the distance traveled would be 80(0.5)^2 = 20 units. And so on.

The exponent x in the function represents the number of swings, so the distance traveled by the pendulum can be calculated by plugging in the desired value of x into the function. For example, to calculate the distance traveled after 10 swings, we can plug in x = 10:

f(10) = 80(0.5)^10 = 0.390625 units

This indicates that the pendulum has traveled a distance of approximately 0.39 units after 10 swings.

Mason bought 16 tickets to a baseball game. The group rate saved him $5.75 per ticket. He paid a total of $296.00 for the tickets. What was the regular price of a ticket to the game

Answers

The regular price of a ticket to the game was $204.00.

We can use algebra to solve the problem. Let x be the regular price of a ticket to the game.

We know that the group rate saved Mason $5.75 per ticket, so the regular price of a ticket is x + $5.75.

We know that Mason bought 16 tickets and paid a total of $296.00, so we can set up the following equation:

x + $5.75 = (x + $5.75) * 16 = 16x + $92

So the regular price of a ticket is x = $296.00 - $92 = $204.00

Therefore, the regular price of a ticket to the game was $204.00.
