Puzzle Details

Elevator Mishap

Six people, whose names are Fred Alberts, Larry Smith, Brian Martin, Marty Jones, Bill Edison, and John Fox were in an elevator together.

Suddenly, the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Fred Alberts' wallet was missing.

Detectives have investigated. They have questioned the suspects, the witnesses, and people who know the suspects. They have collected physical evidence (hair samples, fibre samples, etc.) from the crime scene. They have collected 14 clues, but have not been able to solve the crime.

Therefore, they have called in the world's greatest detective, YOU. You must now examine the clues and solve the crime.

No two suspects have the same weight, colour shoes, colour umbrella, colour car, or hair colour.

The suspect who owns a purple car was wearing tan shoes.

The suspect who weighs 180 pounds owns a green car.

Brian Martin owns a green car.

The suspect who owns a black car was wearing blue shoes.

The suspect who weighs 150 pounds was wearing tan shoes.

Marty Jones was carrying a purple umbrella.

John Fox has red hair.

Larry Smith weighs 210 pounds.

The suspect who weighs 190 pounds was wearing blue shoes.

The suspect who was carrying a red umbrella is not the one who was wearing black shoes.

The thief owns a black car.

The suspect who owns a white car is not the one who weighs 170 pounds.

Bill Edison was wearing brown shoes.

The suspect who weighs 190 pounds is not the one who has red hair.

Answer:

Marty Jones

Explanation:

Given that no two suspects have the same weight, colour shoes, colour umbrella, colour car, or hair colour.

There are six people in the elevator including Fred Albert. Fred Albert was the one whose wallet was stolen and so our suspects are the other five people in the elevator.

We know that the thief owns a black car and he was wearing blue shoes

( since the suspect who owns a black car was wearing blue shoes). The thief also weighs 190 pounds( since the suspect who weighs 190 pounds was wearing blue shoes)

Brian Martin has a green car so he is cancelled out

John Fox has red hair and is cancelled out(since the suspect who weighs 190 pounds is not the one who has red hair)

Bill Edison was wearing brown shoes so he is cancelled out(since thief was wearing blue shoes)

Larry Smith weighs 210 pounds and he is cancelled out( since thief weighs 190 pounds)

We are left with one suspect remaining Marty Jones, hence he is the thief

The salary scale for an officer starts at $1,700,000 .A rise of $4000 is given at the end of each share . Find the total amount of money the officer will earn in 14 years

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $24,164,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The yearly salaries form an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 1700000 and a common difference of 4000.

The sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

  Sn = (2a1 +d(n -1))(n/2)

For the given numbers, the sum of 14 years' salaries will be ...

  S14 = (2·1,700,000 +4,000(14 -1))(14/2) = 24,164,000

The officer will earn $24,164,000 in a 14-year period.

Given :

Salary at starting = $ 1,700,000Rise in salary at the end of each share = $ 4000No. of years = 14

To Find :

The total amount of money the officer will earn in 14 years = ?

Solution :

Clearly, we can see that salary of the officer is in form of Arithmetic progession, where :

First term, a = $ 1,700,000Common difference = $ 4000Number of terms, n = 14

And we have to find total salary i.e. [tex] \tt s_{n} = ?[/tex]

Now, we know that :

[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\bf{S_n = \dfrac{n}{2} \Bigg(2a + (n-1) d\Bigg)}}}[/tex]

By substituting values :

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = \dfrac{14}{2} \Bigg(2(1700000) + (14-1) (4000)\Bigg)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = \cancel{\dfrac{14}{2}} \Bigg(2\times 1700000 + 13 \times 4000\Bigg)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = 7 \Bigg(3400000 + 52000\Bigg)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = 7 \Bigg(3452000\Bigg)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = 7 \times 3452000[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies S_n = 24164000[/tex]

[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\bf{S_n = \$ 24,164,000}}}[/tex]

Hence, the total amount of money the officer will earn in 14 years is $ 24,164,000.

The length of a rectangle 2 less than 2 times the width. The perimeter is 116ft. Find
the length and width.

Answers

Answer: w = 20 l = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 2w - 2 (based on given info)

p = 2l + 2w (formula for perimeter)

p = 116 (given)

116 = 2l + 2w

116 = 2(2w-2) + 2w (substitute in l)

116 =‘ 4w-4 + 2w

116 = 6w-4

w=20

l=2(20) - 2 = 38

Answers

Answer:

Option d is correct that is range of the function is all multiples of 10 between 150 and 400, inclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the information that gretta is selling x raffle ticket by a function

f(x)=10 x

Range is the values that y takes in a particular function

Here, we will get any value which is multiple of 10 since we have a function 10 times of something whatever value we put for x we will get multiple of 10.

Hence, Option d is correct that is range of the function is all multiples of 10 between 150 and 400, inclusive.

The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice its width. The perimeter of the garden is 170 feet.
What are the length and width of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

The width of the garden is 25 feet

The length of the garden is 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

= P = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length, W = Width

The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice its width.

P = 170

L = 2W + 10

Hence,

170 = 2(2W + 10) + 2W

170 = 4W + 20 + 2W

Collect like terms

170 - 20 = 6W

150 = 6W

W = 150/6

W = 25 feet

The width of the garden is 25 feet

Remember

L = 2W + 10

L = 2(25) + 10

L = 50 + 10

L = 60 feet

The length of the garden is 60 feet

x= 20°

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 5, thus

sum = 180° × 3 = 540°

Sum the given angles and equate to 540, that is

x + 106 + 90 + 74 + 8x = 540, simplify

9x + 270 = 540 ( subtract 270 from both sides )

9x = 270 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 30

i need help with finding the domain of R​

Answers

Answer:

The domain of R = [-2, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the domain of a function is the entire set of input values for which the function remains real and defined.

Given the attached graph, we can observe that at point x=-2 the graph heads towards positive infinity.

i.e. [-2, ∞) is the interval.

It means from x=-2 onwards to the positive infinity i.e. the interval [-2, ∞), the graph is representing the domain.

Therefore, the domain of R = [-2, ∞)

Lashawn used 44 stamps to mail a package. He used a

combination of $0.50 stamps, $0.35 stamps, $0.02 stamps,

totaling $15.01. If the number of $0.35 stamps is nine less

than twice the number of $0.50 stamps, find the number of

each type of stamp.

Answers

Answer:

Lashawn used 15, $0.50 stamps, 21, $0.35 stamps, and 8, $0.02 stamps to mail the package

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of stamps Lashawn used to mail the small package = 44

The price of the combination of 44 stamp = $15.01

The price categories of the stamps are $0.50, $0.35, and $0.02

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2 × The number of $0.50 stamps - 9

Let, x represent the number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package

We have;

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package = x

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2 × x - 9 = 2·x - 9

The number of $0.35 stamps = 2·x - 9

The number of $0.02 stamps = 44 - x - (2·x - 9) = 44 - x - 2·x + 9 = 53 - 3·x

The number of $0.02 stamps = 53 - 3·x

Which gives;

0.5 × x + 0.35 × (2·x - 9) + 0.02 × (53 - 3·x) = 15.01

0.5·x + 0.7·x - 3.15 + 1.06 - 0.06·x = 15.01

1.14·x - 2.09 = 15.01

1.14·x = 15.01 + 2.09 = 17.1

x = 17.1/1.14 = 15

x = 15

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used to mail the package = x = 15 stamps

The number of $0.50 stamps Lashawn used = 15 stamps

The number of $0.35 stamps Lashawn used = 2·x - 9 = 2 × 15 - 9 = 21 stamps

The number of $0.02 stamps Lashawn used = 53 - 3·x = 53 - 3 × 15 = 8 stamps.

Describe each of the following transformation that maps the figures described below. Be specific by naming lines of reflection, centers of rotation and degrees of rotation, distance and direction of translations, and centers of dilation with a scale factor. Determine if the transformation is a rigid transformation or a similarity transformation. Explain all reasoning.
Part A: Figure 1 →Figure 4
Part B: Figure 2 → Figure 5

Answers

Answer:

Part A: Figure 1 → Figure 4

Rigid Transformation

Equivalent to a reflection about the origin, or a rotation of 180° clockwise or anticlockwise about the origin which are types of rigid transformation

Part B: Figure 2 → Figure 5

Similarity transformation

Figure 5 is Figure 2 dilated by a scale factor of 1/2, which is a form of a similarity transformation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Figure 1 → Figure 4

The coordinates of the vertices of the preimage are;

(5, 10), (2, 4), (9, 2)

The coordinates of the vertices of the image are;

(-9, -2), (-2, -4), (-5, -10)

Which is equivalent to a reflection about the origin, or a rotation of 180° clockwise or anticlockwise about the origin

Part B: Figure 2 → Figure 5

The coordinate points of figure 2 are;

(-9, 2), (-5, 10), and (-2, 4)

The coordinate points of figure 5 are;

(1, 2), (2.5, -1), and (4.5, 3)

The lengths of the sides of figure 2 are;

√((10 - 2)² + ((-5) - (-9))²) = 4·√5

√((10 - 4)² + ((-5) - (-2))²) = 3·√5

√((2 - 4)² + ((-9) - (-2))²) = √53

The lengths of the sides of figure 5 are;

√(((-1) - 2)² + (2.5 - 1)²) = (3·√5)/2

√((4.5 - 2.5)² + (3 - (-1))²) = 2·√5

√((4.5 - 1)² + (3 - 2)²) = (√53)/2

Therefore. Figure 5 is Figure 2 dilated by a scale factor of 1/2

Therefore, given that the sides of Figure 2 and Figure 5 are rotated by 180°

We have;

Figure 5 is obtained as follows;

1) The rotation of figure 2 by 180°, clockwise or anticlockwise about the origin to get;

(-9, 2), (-5, 10), and (-2, 4) → (9, -2), (5, -10), and (2, -4)

2) The image is translated left by 1 blocks and up by 6 blocks as follows;

(9, -2), (5, -10), and (2, -4)  → (8, 4), (4, -4), and (1, 2)

3) The image is then dilated by a scale factor of 1/2  with a center of dilation of (1, 2) to get;

Preimage (8, 4), (4, -4), and (1, 2) → Image (1, 2), (2.5, -1), and (4.5, 3).
