To win a contest, the number of beans in a jar has to be guessed within 20 of the actual number. If the number of beans in the jar is 645, which equation can be used to find the minimum and maximum number of beans that will win the contest, and what is the maximum guess that could win?

|x – 645| = 20; maximum guess: 635 beans
|x – 645| = 20; maximum guess: 665 beans
|x – 20| = 645; maximum guess: 635 beans
|x – 20| = 645; maximum guess: 665 beans

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the test on edge 2020

Answer 2

The maximum guess that could win is,

⇒ |x - 645| = 20; the maximum guess is 665.

Therefore, Option b is correct.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Since, We have given the information that the jar has to be guessed within 20

So, the total has to be equal to 20.

Hence, the equation which is the required equation to calculate the minimum and maximum number of beans that will win the contest is,

|x - 645| = 20

When we will remove the modulus we will get two values + and -

So, x = 20 + 645 = 665

And x = 20 - 645 = -625

Hence, the maximum guess is 665.

Therefore, Option b is correct.

Show all work to solve the equation for x. If a solution is extraneous, be sure to identify it in your final answer.

the square root of x minus 3 plus five equals x.

Picture of question and equation attached.

Answers

Answer:

x=7 valid solution

x=4 extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt( x-3) +5 = x

Subtract 5 from each side

sqrt( x-3) +5 -5= x-5

sqrt( x-3)  = x-5

Square each side

(sqrt( x-3))^2 = (x-5)^2

Foil the right side ( x-5)(x-5) =x^2 -5x-5x+25 = x^2 -10x+25

x-3 = x^2 -10x+25

Subtract x from each side

-3 = x^2 -10x -x+25

Add 3 to each side

0 = x^2 -11x +25 +3

0 = x^2 -11x+28

Factor

0 = (x-7)(x-4)

Using the zero product property

x-7 =0  x-4=0

x=7  x=4

Check the solutions

sqrt( x-3) +5 = x

x=7

sqrt( 7-3) +5 = 7

sqrt(4) +5 = 7

2 +5 = 7  valid solution

x=4

sqrt( 4-3) +5 = 4

sqrt(1) +5 = 4

1 +5 = 4    not true   extraneous solution

Answers

Answer:

The difference of two odd number is always even as seen below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First odd number = x

Second odd number = x + 2

Third odd number = x + 4

Therefore

(x + 4) - (x + 2) = x

Where x is any odd number

Using 1 :

(1 + 4) - (1+2)

Marcellus is making a deposit that will leave him with a balance of $381. He noticed that if he added $54 to the amount he started with in his account and then tripled the sum, he would get the new amount. How much did Marcellus originally have in his account? Which equation represents the situation?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial money deposited in the account be x:

If he added $54 to the amount he started with in his account, the expression will become:

x+54

If the sum is tripled, we will have:

3(x+54)

Since the balance an-mount is $381, the final equation will give:

3(x+54) = 381

The equation that represents the situation is 3(x+54) = 381

Next is to calculate x:

3(x+54) = 381

open the parenthesis

3x+162 = 381

3x = 381 - 162

3x = 219

x = 219/3

x = 73

Hence the original amount in his account is $73

Which pair of functions are inverses of each other?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse means that the function is reversed from the original function, f(x).

To find the inverse function of f(x)=5x-11, add 11 to x, then divide the expression by 5.

This would be (x+11)/5.

So, you know that A is true.

Try the other selections too.

B: [tex]g(x)=x^3/2[/tex]       The x should be tripled before being divided by 2; FALSE

C: [tex]g(x)=7/(x+9)[/tex]     7 should by in the numerator; FALSE

D: [tex]g(x)=6(x+8)[/tex]    8 should be added before being multiplied by 6; FALSE

I hope this helps!!!

Using composite functions, it is found that the pair of functions that are inverse of each other is given by:

A. [tex]f(x) = 5x - 11[/tex] and [tex]g(x) = \frac{x + 11}{5}[/tex]

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

The composite of functions f and g is given by:

[tex](f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))[/tex]

Two functions f and g are inverse of each other if:

[tex]f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]f(x) = 5x - 11[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = \frac{x + 11}{5}[/tex]

[tex]f(g(x)) = f(\frac{x + 11}{5}) = 5(\frac{x + 11}{5}) - 11 = x + 11 - 11 = x[/tex]

[tex]g(f(x)) = g(5x - 11) = \frac{5x - 11 + 11}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} = x[/tex]

Since [tex]f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x[/tex], these functions are inverse of each other.

Forensic specialists can estimate the height of a deceased person from the lengths of the person's bones. These lengths are substituted into mathematical inequalities. For instance, an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur is |h − (2.47f + 54.10)| ≤ 3.72. Use this inequality to estimate the possible range of heights, rounded to the nearest 0.1 centimeter, for an adult female whose femur measures 32.25 centimeters.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

[tex]|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72[/tex]

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

[tex]|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\[/tex]

If the modulus function is positive then:

[tex]h - 134.0045 \leq 3.72\\h \leq 3.71+134.0045\\h\leq 137.7245[/tex]

If the modulus function is negative then:

[tex]-(h - 134.0045) \leq 3.72\\-h+134.0045 \leq 3.72\\-h\leq 3.72-134.0045\\-h\leq -130.2845\\[/tex]

multiply through by -1

[tex]-(-h)\geq -(-130.2845)\\h\geq 130.2845\\130.2845\leq h[/tex]

combining the resulting inequalities, the estimate of the possible range of heights will be [tex]130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245[/tex]

Triangle ABC has vertices A (1,1) B (7,1) C (4,9) (A)Find the perimeter of triangle ABC. (B) Find the area of triangle ABC​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

perimeter = 6+2√73 ≈ 23.09 unitsarea = 24 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

It can help to draw a figure.

The altitude of this isosceles triangle is 8 units, and it splits the base into equal lengths of 3 units. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find the length of a side to be ...

  BC = AC = √(3² +8²) = √73

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of those two sides and the base:

  P = 2(√73) +6 ≈ 23.088 . . . units

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = (1/2)(6 units)(8 untis) = 24 units²

__

The perimeter is 6+2√73 ≈ 23.09 units.

The area is 24 units².

Dom and Riley both want to find the change from the 6 AM temperature to the new 12 PM temperature. Dom says that you can use a number line and add the distances from 0 to the 6 AM temperature and from 0 to the new 12 PM temperature. Riley says that you can subtract -1.4 from the 12 PM temperature. Is either Dom or Riley correct? Explain your reasoning and find the change in temperature.

Answers

Answer:

Neither Dom or Riley is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in temperature between 12PM and 6AM can be obtained by subtracting the 12PM temperature from the 6AM temperature because temperature increases as the hours of the day go by.

To carry out this subtraction on the number line, the following steps should be taken;

(i) Mark the numbers corresponding to 6AM and 12PM temperatures on same number line.

(ii) From the number corresponding to the 12 PM temperature, find out how many steps that are needed to reach the position of the number corresponding to the 6AM temperature.

This number of steps represents the temperature change between the 12PM temperature and the 6 AM temperature.

height = 5x

200cm² = 1/2 × base × height

200 = 1/2 × 5x × 5x

400 = 25x²

4 = x

Answer:  " x = 4 " .

______________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

______________________________________

The formula for the area of a triangle:

             Area, "A" = (1/2) * base * height;

          that is:   A = (1/2) * b * h ;

From our given problem and image/diagram:

    A = 200 cm² ;

          b = 5x ;

          h = 5x ;

We are asked to find the value for "x" ;

 A = (1/2) * b * h ;

Plug in our known values:

 200 cm² = (1/2) * 5x * 5x ;

Simplify:

 200 cm²  = (1/2)*(25x²) ;

 200 cm² = (12.5)x² ;

⇔  (12.5)x² = 200 cm² ;

Divide each side by:  " (12.5)" ;

     (12.5)x² / (12.5)  = (200 cm²)/(12.5) ;

to get:   x² = 16 ;

Take the positive square root of each side of the equation; to get the value for "x" ;

   ⁺ [tex]\sqrt{x^{2} } =[/tex] ⁺ [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] ;

to get:

  x = 4 .
