Derek Jeter, the short stop for the New York Yankees, a major league baseball team, played in 159 games in 2012 and hit 15 home runs. If he plays a total of 1272 games in his career, approximately how many home runs will he hit?
[A] Write a proportion that is defined by this situation.
[B] Explain how the cross product is used to solve the problem.
[C] Answer the question.

Answers

Answer 1

a. The the proportion that would be used is: 159/15 = 1272/x

b. See explanation for the cross product below.

c. Approximately 120 home runs will be hit.

What is a Proportion?

A proportion can be defined as an equation that involves comparing two equal ratios that are equivalent to each other or set equal to each other.

a. To write a proportion that defines the situation described above, let x represent the number of runs he will hit in his career.

Therefore, we would have the following proportion:

159:15 = 1272:x

or

159/15 = 1272/x

b. Using the cross product, we can find the value of x as shown below:

159 × x = 1272 × 15

159x = 19,080

Divide both sides by 159

159x//159 = 19,080/159

x = 120

c. The number of runs he will hit in his career is: 120.

what is the 4th term?

Answers

The fourth term a₄ of the sequence aₙ is 15

How to determine the value of a₄?

The definition of the function is given as

a(1)=-11

a(n)=a(n-1)x10

When this definition is rewritten properly, we have the following representation

a₁= 11

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ * 10

The above definitions imply that we simply multiply 10 and the previous term to get the current term

Using the above as a guide,

So, we have the following representation

a₂ = 11 * 10

Evaluate the products

So, we have

a₂ = 110

Also, we have

a₃ = 110 * 10

Evaluate the products

So, we have

a₃ = 1100

Lastly, we have

a₄ = 1100 * 10

Evaluate the products

So, we have

a₄ = 11000

This represents the 4th term of the sequence

Hence, the value of a₄ is 11000

Answers

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes. Each small box can hold 20 books and each large box can hold 35 books.

The system of equation will be x+y = 7 and 20x+35y = 225.

Let x be the no of small boxes and y be the no. of large boxes.

Given here each small box can hold 20 books and each large box can hold 35 books.

A total of 7 boxes were sent.

So, x+y = 7.......equation 1

Also given that 7 boxes can hold 225 books altogether.

Given △ C AT ≅ △DOG, m∠C = 25° , and m∠O = 37° , what is the measure of ∠G?

enter your answer in the box.
m∠G = __°

Answers

Answer:

m∠G = 118°

Step-by-step explanation:

The congruence statement that says:

△CAT ≅ △DOG,

says not only that the triangles are the same shape and size, it also says //which// angles (and sides) are conguent.

Angle C and Angle D are the same. Angle A and Angle O are the same. And Angle T and Angle G are the same.

So in △CAT, Angle C is 25° and Angle A (same as O) is 37°.

Also, all the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.

25° + 37° + T = 180°

62° + T = 180°

T = 118°

And T corresponds to G, so AngleG is also 118°.

What is the solution to the system of equations y 1 3x 10 2x y 4?.

Answers

The solution to the system of equations y = 1/3x - 10 and 2x + y = 4 is (6, -8).

What is the system of equations ?

A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with a same set of unknowns.

What is a Subsitution method ?

The substitution method is the algebraic method to solve simultaneous linear equations. As the word says, in this method, the value of one variable from one equation is substituted in the other equation.

The given system of linear equations are :

y = 1/3x - 10 and 2x + y = 4

On solving two equations by using substitution method, It is given that

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3}x-10[/tex]    … (1)

2x + y = 4       … (2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

⇒ [tex]2x + (\frac{1}{3}x-10) = 4[/tex]

By further calculation

⇒ [tex]2x + \frac{1}{3}x - 10 = 4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2x + \frac{1}{3} x = 4 + 10[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2x + \frac{1}{3} x = 14[/tex]

Taking LCM

⇒ [tex]\frac{(6+1)}{3}x = 14[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{7}{3}x = 14[/tex]

By cross multiplication

⇒ 7x = 14 × 3

⇒ 7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

⇒ x = 6

Substitute the value of x in equation (1)

[tex]\Rightarrow\ y = (\frac{1}{3} \times (6) - 10)[/tex]

So we get

⇒ y = (2-10)

⇒ y = -8

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (6, -8).

Find the equation of the line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.

(4, -6), y = -5

Answers

Answer:

y = 9, y = - 3 and y = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a line with equation y = c is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

Thus parallel lines must also be horizontal with equation y = c

a line parallel to y = 4 passing through (1, 9 ) with y- coordinate 9 is

y = 9

a line parallel to y = 2 passing through (- 1, - 3 ) with y- coordinate - 3 is

y = - 3

a line parallel to y = - 5 passing through (4, - 6 ) with y- coordinate - 6 is

y = - 6

Write an equation of a line that is

A) y = -3x + 14
B) y = 1/3x + 4
C) y = 1/3x + 4/3
D) y = 3x + 1
E) y = 1/2x + 7/2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll look for an equation in the format y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.    A characteristic of parallel lines is that they have the same slope.  That means the same value of m for both equations.  

The reference equation is y = 1/3x + 5,  It has a slope of (1/3).  This means the new line will also have a slope of (1/3), and so we can write:

   y = (1/3)x + b

Any value of b will result in a parallel line to y = 1/3x + 5.  But the new line comes with the requirement that it go through point (3,5).  That's easily done if we choose the correct value for b, the y-intercept.  We could graph the line to visually determine what value of b will make the line go through this point, or we can simply enter the given point in the above equation and solve for b:

     

    y = (1/3)x + b  (for point (3,5)

    5 = (1/3)(3) + b

    5 = 1 + b

     b = 4

A b value of four will shift the line so that it intersects (3,5).  See the attached graph.

A cell phone is on sale at $35 more than half of the regular price. The sale price is $140. Determine the regular price.

Answers

The regular price for the cell phone is $210

How to calculate the price?

From the information given, the cell phone is on sale at $35 more than half of the regular price and the sale price is $140.

Let the regular price be represented as x.

This will be illustrated as:

1/2x + 35 = 140

0.5x + 35 = 140

Collect like terms

0.5x = 140 - 35

0.5x = 105

x = 105 / 0.5

x = 210

The regular price is $210.

Flaming Fish Emporium sold 15 fish on Monday and then received a shipment of 15 fish on Tuesday. If they started with an inventory of 365 fish on Monday morning, how many fish did they have at the end of the day on Tuesday?

Answers

Answer:

365

Step-by-step explanation:

As the amount of fish the emporium sold and received are the same, the inventory of fish has not changed.  Therefore, the emporium has 365 fish at the end of the day on Tuesday.

Monday morning:  365 fish

After Monday's sales:  365 - 15 = 350 fish

Tuesday morning:  350 fish

After Tuesday's shipment:  350 + 15 = 365 fish

Answer:

End of Tuesday = 365 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Fishes in inventory,

→ n = 365 fishes

Let's take it as,

→ Monday (x) = 15

→ Tuesday (y) = 15

Forming the expression,

→ (n - x) + y

Let's solve the expression,

→ (n - x) + y

→ (365 - 15) + 15

→ 350 + 15

→ 365 fishes

Hence, there are 365 fishes.

The type of function that represents the bank account as a function of time is: this is an exponential function because there is a common ratio in the balance between the months.

How to determine the type of function?

In order to determine the type of function that models or represents the bank account as a function of time, we would check whether or not there is a common difference or common ratio.

In Mathematics, a linear function is used to model a situation when there exist a constant or common difference between its consecutive terms. On the other hand, an exponential function there is used to model a situation when there exist a constant or common ratio between its consecutive terms.

For the common difference, we have:

d = 1,474.56 - 1,843.20 = -368.64

d = 1,843.20 - 2,304.00 = -460.8

Therefore, the bank account as a function of time is not a linear function.

For the common ratio, we have:

r = 1,474.56/1,843.20 = 0.8

r = 1,843.20/2,304.00 = 0.8

Therefore, the bank account as a function of time is an exponential function.

Answers

The rate of Sam in miles per hour is 10.13.

Based on the relation between the units feet and mile, firstly converting the distance in miles.

5380 feet = 1 mile

So, 63,756 feet = 63,756 ÷ 5380

Performing division to calculate the distance in miles

63, 756 feet = 11.85 miles

Now converting the time in hour. As per the known fact, 60 minutes = 1 hour

So, 70 minutes = 70÷60

70 minutes = 1.17 hours

Now, finding the rate in miles per hour = number of miles ÷ amount of time

Rate in miles per hour = 11.85 ÷ 1.17

Performing division on Right Hand Side of the equation

Rate in miles per hour = 10.13

Thus, the rate is 10.13 miles per hour.
