In a family, there are four children. Adam's age is the sum of Beth's and Carol's. Four years ago, David's age was the sum of Beth's age then and Carol's age then. Eight years ago, Adam's age was twice David's age then. Who is the oldest child in this famiy?

Answers

Answer 1

The oldest child in the given family described is; Adam

How to solve algebra word problems?

We are told that;

Adam's age = Beth's age + Carol's age

David's age = Beth's age + Carol's age (4 years ago)

Adam's age = 2 * David's age (8 years ago)

Thus, we can say that Beth and Carol are younger than both Adam and David since Adam's age was twice that of David's age 8 years ago and as such Adam must be the oldest child.

Triangle ABC with vertices at A(−4, −4), B(8, 8), C(2, 6) is dilated to create triangle A′B′C′ with vertices at A′(−2, −2), B′(4, 4), C′(1, 3). Determine the scale factor used. 2 one half 4 one fourth

Answers

Answer: It is similar to triangle ABC and has coordinates A′(8, −12), B′(4, −16), and C′(−20, 8)

Step-by-step explanation: Dilated triangles are never congruent, only similar (unless the dilation factor is exactly 1).

The coordinates of an image dilated about the origin are those of the pre-image multiplied by the dilation factor. For example,

 A' = 2A

 A'(8, -12) = 2×A(4, -6)

These facts are all you need to know to choose the correct answer (shown above).

You invested $4000 between two accounts paying 3% and 4% annual interest. If the total interest earned for the year was $130, how much was invested at each rate?

Answers

You invested $3000 at 3% annual interest rate, and the remaining amount of $4000 - $3000 = $1000 was invested at 4% annual interest rate.

Let's assume you invested an amount, x, at 3% annual interest rate. This means the amount invested at 4% annual interest rate would be $4000 - x.

To calculate the interest earned from the investment at 3%, we multiply x by 3% (0.03). Similarly, the interest earned from the investment at 4% is calculated by multiplying ($4000 - x) by 4% (0.04).

According to the given information, the total interest earned from both investments is $130. So we can set up the equation:

0.03x + 0.04($4000 - x) = $130

Simplifying the equation:

0.03x + 0.04($4000 - x) = $130

0.03x + $160 - 0.04x = $130

-0.01x = $130 - $160

-0.01x = -$30

x = -$30 / -0.01

x = $3000

Therefore, you invested $3000 at 3% annual interest rate, and the remaining amount of $4000 - $3000 = $1000 was invested at 4% annual interest rate.

A triangle has a perimeter of 91 centimeters. Each of the two longer sides of the triangle is three times as long as the shortest side. Find the length of each side of the triangle.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13 cm, 39 cm, 39 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the short side, then the other two sides are 3x and 3x. The perimeter is the sum of side lengths:

  x +3x +3x = 91

  x = 91/7 = 13

  3x = 3(13) = 39

The length of the short side is 13 cm; the other two sides are 39 cm.

By using graphical method, find optimal solution of the problem max z = 3x + y s.t 2x - y ≤ 5 -x + 3y ≤ 6 x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0​

Answers

By analyzing the graph and evaluating the objective function at each vertex of the feasible region, we can find the optimal solution, which is the vertex that maximizes the objective function z = 3x + y.

To find the optimal solution of the given problem using the graphical method, we need to plot the feasible region determined by the given constraints and then identify the point within that region that maximizes the objective function.

Let's start by graphing the constraints:

1. Plot the line 2x - y = 5. To do this, find two points on the line by setting x = 0 and solving for y, and setting y = 0 and solving for x. Connect the two points to draw the line.

2. Plot the line -x + 3y = 6 using a similar process.

3. The x-axis and y-axis represent the constraints x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, respectively.

Next, identify the feasible region, which is the region where all the constraints are satisfied. This region will be the intersection of the shaded regions determined by each constraint.

Finally, we need to identify the point within the feasible region that maximizes the objective function z = 3x + y. The optimal solution will be the vertex of the feasible region that gives the highest value for the objective function. This can be determined by evaluating the objective function at each vertex and comparing the values.

Note: Without a specific graph or additional information, it is not possible to provide the precise coordinates of the optimal solution in this case.

A. 3y = 30; y = 10
B. 30 = y/3; y = 103
C. 30 = y/3; y = 90
D. 3y = 30; y = 90

Answers

The answer is C: 30=y/3; y=90

The reason for this is that we know that Millie sold 3 times as much as Jack, and, if we use x to represent the number that Jack sold, and y to represent the number that Millie sold, we can form the equation y=3x which is equivalent to x=y/3.

By substituting x=30, we get to 30=y/3 and multiplying both sides by 3, we get to y=90

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When we do 30=y/3 we get 90 because of the fraction symbol and its says in the problem 3 times as much so more not less so 3x30 equals 90 so we already take out A and B and when there is nothing but a simple equation like 30=3 we dived so it cant be D Ethier so its C

Ashley is training to run a marathon. On Monday, she runs 21 miles in 3 hours. On Wednesday, she runs 10 1/2 miles in 1 1/2 hours. What is the constant of proportionality in miles per hour?​

Answers

Answer:

10.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance (in miles) by the time (in hours) for each of the two runs, and then take the average of the two rates.

For Monday's run:

Rate = Distance / Time = 21 miles / 3 hours = 7 miles per hourFor Wednesday's run:Rate = Distance / Time = 10 1/2 miles / 1 1/2 hours = (21/2) miles / (3/2) hours = 14 miles per hour

To find the average rate, we add the two rates and divide by 2:Average rate = (7 miles per hour + 14 miles per hour) / 2 = 10.5 miles per hour

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in miles per hour is 10.5. This means that Ashley runs at an average rate of 10.5 miles per hour during her training.

Only Brand B data is symmetric, so the median is the best measure to compare variability.
Both distributions are symmetric, so the mean is the best measure to compare variability.
Both distributions are skewed left, so the interquartile range is the best measure to compare variability

Answers

Answer:

D. Both distributions are skewed left, so the interquartile range is the best measure to compare variability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plotting the data roughly shows that the data is skewed to the left. In other words, data is skewed negatively and that the long tail will be on the negative side of the peak.

In such a scenario, interquartile range is normally the best measure to compare variations of data.

Therefore, the last option is the best for the data provided.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x + 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

then the slope of a line parallel to y = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x + 6 is m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Use differentials to estimate the amount of paint needed to apply at coat of paint 0.05 cm thick to a hemispherical dome with diameter 50 cm.

Answers

The amount of paint needed is 196.35 \(cm^{2}\).

We know that,

                 \(V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3}\)

Remember that we have a hemisphere here, So

                 \(dV = \frac{2}{3} (3\pi r^{2} )dr\)

Now the amount of paint needed is \(dV = 2\pi r^{2} dr\).

Here,

                \(dr = 0.05 cm\)

and

                 \(r = 25cm\)              [Because \(d = 50cm\)]

Hence

              \(dV = 2\pi (25)^{2} (0.05)\)

              \(dV = \frac{125\pi }{2}\)

              \(dV =\) 196.35 \(cm^{2}\).

Therefore The amount of paint needed is 196.35 \(cm^{2}\).

passengers
What is the maximum revenue?
$
What would be the fare per passenger in this case?
dollars per passenger

Answers

Answer:

Dollars per passenger would be $252.
The maximum revenue is $63,404.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the number of passengers above 212 as x.

The revenue function is given by R(x) = (212 + x)(292 - x).

We can expand and simplify the revenue function:

\(R(x) = 212 * 292 + 212 * (-x) + x * 292 + x * (-x)\)

= \(61804 - 212x + 292x - x^2\)

= \(-x^2 + 80x + 61804\)

The revenue function is a quadratic function in the form\(R(x) = -x^2 + 80x + 61804\), representing a downward-opening parabola.

To find the x-coordinate of the vertex (which gives the number of passengers for maximum revenue), use the formula \(x = -b/2a\), where \(a = -1\) and \(b = 80\).

\(x=\frac{-80}{2*(-1)}\)

\(= \frac{80}{2}\)

\(= 40\)

Therefore, the number of passengers above 212 for maximum revenue is 40.

Substitute x = 40 into the revenue function to find the maximum revenue:

\(R(x) = -(40)^2 + 80(40) + 61804\)

\(= -1600 + 3200 + 61804\)

\(= 61804 + 1600\)

\(= 63404\)

Hence, the maximum revenue is $63,404.

To determine the fare per passenger, subtract x from the base fare of $292:

Fare per passenger = Base fare - x

\(= 292 - 40\)

\(= 252\) Dollars per passenger.

Mrs. Grubbs has the option of eating a cookie with the diameter of 14 cm or 4 smaller cookies with a diameter of 5
cm. Which option would give Mrs. Grubbs more cookie to eat?

Answers

Mrs. Grubbs would get more cookie to eat by choosing the 4 smaller cookies with diameter 5 cm each rather than the single cookie with diameter 14 cm.

To compare the amount of cookie Mrs. Grubbs would get by eating a single cookie with diameter 14 cm and 4 smaller cookies with diameter 5 cm each, we need to consider the total area of the cookies.

The area of a cookie with diameter 14 cm can be calculated as follows:

A = πr^2 = π(7 cm)^2 = 49π cm^2

where r is the radius of the cookie.

On the other hand, the area of a single small cookie can be calculated as follows:

A1 = \(πr^2\) = \(π(2.5 cm)^2\)= \(6.25π cm^2\)

where r is the radius of the small cookie.

Therefore, the total area of 4 small cookies is:

A2 = 4A1 = \(4(6.25π cm^2)\) = \(25π cm^2\)

Comparing the two options, we see that the total area of the 4 small cookies is greater than the area of the single large cookie:

A2 > A

\(25π cm^2 > 49π cm^2\)

It's worth noting that this comparison assumes that the thickness or volume of the cookies is the same for both options. If the cookies have different thicknesses, then the comparison would need to take into account the volume of the cookies instead of just the area.
