What is the value of x if 2/ 3 - 2 = -4 ?​

Answers

Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x/3)-2=-4

Add 2 to both sides

2x/3=-2

multiply both sides by 3

2x=-6

divide both sides by 2

x= -3

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3 - 2 = -4

Add 2 to both sides.

2x/3 = -2

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

x = -2 * 3/2

x = -3

15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..

The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.  

The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

Which of the following proportions is true?
10/40 = 8/36
8/18 = 6/16
9/15 = 44/50
12/18 = 16/24

Answers

Answer:

D. 12/18 = 16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

The method we must go about to solve this is finding the constant. For A, we can solve it by doing 10 divided by 8 (which is 1.25) and then 40 divided by 1.25 to see if it is 36. Alternatively, we can do 10 divided by 8 and then 40 divided by 36 to see if the constant is the same. It's up to you!

My answers:

A. No (constant varies)

B. No (constant varies)

C. No (constant varies)

D. Yes! Constant is 0.75

How to solve for D:

12/16 = 0.75

18/0.75 = 24       OR          18/24 = 0.75

Joe bikes at the speed of 30 km/h from his home toward his work. If Joe's wife leaves home 5 mins later by car, how fast should she drive in order to overtake him in 10 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 45km/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Joe leaves home and bikes at a speed of 30km/hour. Joe's wife leaves home five minutes later by car, and we want to determine her speed in order for her to catch up to Joe in 10 minutes.

Since Joe bikes at a speed of 30km/hour, he bikes at the equivalent rate of 0.5km/min.

Then after five minutes, when his wife leaves, Joe is 5(0.5) or 2.5 km from the house. He will still be traveling at a rate of 0.5km/min, so his distance from the house can be given by:

[tex]2.5+0.5t[/tex]

Where t represents the time in minutes after his wife left the house.

And since we want to catch up in 10 minutes, Joe's distance from the house 10 minutes after his wife left will be:

[tex]2.5+0.5(10)=7.5\text{ km}[/tex]

Let s represent the wife's speed in km/min. So, her speed times 10 minutes must total 7.5 km:

[tex]10s=7.5[/tex]

Solve for s:

[tex]\displaystye s=0.75\text{ km/min}[/tex]

Thus, Joe's wife must drive at a rate of 0.75km/min, or 45km/hour.

FastForward has net income of $19,090 and assets at the beginning of the year of $209,000. Its assets at the end of the year total $264,000. Compute its return on assets.

Answers

Given:

Net income = $19,090

Assets at the beginning of the year = $209,000.

Assets at the end of the year total = $264,000.

To find:

The return on assets.

Solution:

Formula used:

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{\text{Net income}}{\text{Average of assets at the beginning and at the end}}[/tex]

Using the above formula, we get

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{20900+264000}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{\dfrac{473000}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}=\dfrac{19090}{236500}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Return of assets}\approx 0.0807[/tex]

The percentage form of 0.0807 is 8.07%.

Therefore, the return on assets is 8.07%.

if you continue adding on fractions according to this pattern, when will you reach a sum of 2?​

Answers

Answer: You will never reach a sum of 2. You would need infinitely many terms to sum up.

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

Explanation:

We have this sequence

1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, ...

which is geometric with the following properties

a = first term = 1r = common ratio = 1/2 = 0.5

Notice how we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next term. Eg: (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 or (1/16)*(1/2) = 1/32.

Since r = 0.5 is between -1 and 1, i.e. -1 < r < 1 is true, this means that adding infinite terms of this form will get us to approach some finite sum which we'll call S. This is because the new terms added on get smaller and smaller.

That infinite sum is

S = a/(1-r)

S = 1/(1-0.5)

S = 1/0.5

S = 2

So if we keep going with that pattern 1+1/2+1/4+... and do so forever, then we'll reach a sum of 2. However, we cannot go on forever since it's asking when we'll reach that specific sum. In other words, your teacher wants finitely many terms to be added.

In short, we'll never actually reach the sum 2 itself. We'll just get closer and closer.

Here's a list of partial sums

1+1/2 = 1.51+1/2+1/4 = 1.751+1/2+1/4+1/8 = 1.8751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1.93751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 = 1.968751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64 = 1.9843751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128 = 1.99218751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128+1/256 = 1.99609375

We can see that we're getting closer to 2, but we'll never actually get there. We'd need to add infinitely many terms to get to exactly 2.

The number 55 is attached to a two-digit number to its left and the formed 4-digit number is divisible by 24. What could be the 2-digit number? List all options.

Answers

Given:

The number 55 is attached to a two-digit number to its left and the formed 4-digit number is divisible by 24.

To find:

The 2-digit numbers.

Solution:

Let the two digit number be [tex]ab[/tex]. Then the 4 digit number will be [tex]55ab[/tex].

We know that the number [tex]55ab[/tex] lies in the range 5500 to 5599.

Now,

[tex]5500=229\times 24+4[/tex]

It means, [tex]5500-4=5496[/tex] is divisible by 24. So, the numbers lie in the range 5500 to 5599 and divisible by 24 are:

[tex]5496+24=5520[/tex]

[tex]5520+24=5544[/tex]

[tex]5544+24=5568[/tex]

[tex]5568+24=5592[/tex]

Therefore, the possible 2-digit numbers are 20, 44, 68, 92.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with side lengths [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] is given by:

[tex]A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex], where [tex]s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

Substituting [tex]a=21, b=17, c=10[/tex], we have:

[tex]A=\sqrt{24(24-21)(24-17)(24-10)},\\A=\sqrt{24(3)(7)(14)},\\A=\sqrt{7,084},\\A=\boxed{84\:\mathrm{m^2}}[/tex]

The perimeter of a polygon is given by the sum of its sides. Since the triangle has sides 10, 17, and 21, its perimeter is [tex]10+17+21=\boxed{48\:\mathrm{m}}[/tex].

Suppose the age that children learn to walk is normally distributed with mean 12 months and standard deviation 2.5 month. 34 randomly selected people were asked what age they learned to walk. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) it's just mean, variance

so here it's just 12,6.25

b.) For the x bar thing just divide the variance by the number of people (mean stay the same)

the variance is then (2.5²/34)= .1838

which makes it (12,.1838)

c.) here we don't use x bar (and so it's normal (12,2.5²))

p(11.6) = (11.6-12)/(2.5)= -.16 = .4364

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/2.5 = .16= .5636

.5636-.4364= .1272

d.) here we use x bar because it's asking for an average so it's normal (12, .1838)

same deal

p(11.6)=(11.6-12)/√.1838= -.93295= .1762

p(12.4)= (12.4-12)/√.1838= .93295= .8238

.8238-.1762= .6476

d.) no because they're probably IID

f.) It's average so here we use x bar

q1 is just the 25th percentile

the 25th percentile is -.6745

-.6745=(x-12)/(√.1838)= 11.711

q3 is the 75th percentile

.6745=(x-12)/√.1838

x=12.289

The interquartile range is just the difference between the two

12.289-11.711= .5784

Answer:

  p(x) = x³ -3x²+4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the polynomial has real coefficients, the complex roots come in conjugate pairs. You are given one root as 1+i, so there is another that is 1-i.

Each root r gives rise to a factor (x -r). Then the three roots tell you the factorization is ...

  p(x) = (x -1)(x -(1+i))(x -(1-i))

The last two factors can be recognized as the factors of the difference of squares:

  ((x -1) +i)((x -1) -i) = (x -1)² -i²

  = (x² -2x +1) -(-1) = x² -2x +2

Now the whole polynomial can be seen to be ...

  p(x) = (x -1)(x² -2x +2) = x(x² -2x +2) -1(x² -2x +2)

  p(x) = x³ -2x² +2x -x² +2x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  p(x) = x³ -3x²+4x -2
