Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's try this a different way than perhaps the usual way. Let r represent the reciprocal of the number.
r(1/r -1) -1/2r = 5/8
1 -r -1/2r = 5/8 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-3/2r = -3/8 . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 1
(-3/2)/(-3/8) = 1/r = 4 . . . . . divide by (-3/8)r because we actually want 1/r
The number is 4.
_____
Check
The reciprocal of the number is 1/4.
1 less than the original number is 4 -1 = 3. The product of these is 3/4.
__
Half the reciprocal of the original number is (1/2)(1/4) = 1/8.
Then the difference between these is ...
3/4 -1/8 = (6 -1)/8 = 5/8 . . . . as required.

An unevenly heated plate has temperature T(x, y) in °C at the point (x, y). If T(2, 1) = 130, and Tx(2, 1) = 16, and Ty(2, 1) = −13, estimate the temperature at the point (2.03, 0.96). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The estimated temperature at the point (2.03, 0.96) is 131
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to estimate the temperature at the given point using the temperature of the unevenly heated plate.
We proceed as follows;
In the question, we identify that the temperature at the point T(2,1) = 130 degrees celcius
Now, let’s look at how the temperature changes. There is a positive change of 16 units when we move across the x-axis and a negative decrease when we move up the y-axis to a tune of 16 units(negative)
Now, how does the problem wants us to move using the notation of change?
Look at the point (2.03, 0.96), since movement across the x-axis is positive, the motion here in terms of x i.e Δx is 0.03 while the corresponding motion in terms of y(albeit negative) is Δy = -0.04
Mathematically, the change in temperature is proportional to the distance traveled. What this means is that we need to multiply the changes in direction by the corresponding temperature. This is shown below;
ΔTx =Δx*Tx(2,1) => ΔTx = (0.03)*(16) = 0.48
ΔTy = Δy*Ty(2,1) => ΔTy = (-0.04)*(-13) = 0.52
We can now combine the equations above to form a single one as follows; which is an approximation;
ΔT = Δx*Tx(2,1) + Δy*Ty(2,1) => ΔT = (0.03)*(16) + (-0.04)*(-13) = 1
To arrive at the final answer, we add the change in temperature to the staring temperature which is ;
T(2.03,0.96) = T(2,1) + ΔT = 130 + 1= 131
The total energy need during pregnancy is normally distributed, with a mean of 2600 kcal/day and a standard deviation of 50 kcal/day. Include your Normal curve for all parts! a) [4 pts] If one pregnancy is randomly selected, find the probability that the total energy need is more than 2650 kcal/day. b) [4 pts] The middle 30% of total energy need during pregnancy are between what values? c) [4 pts] What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnant women has a mean energy need of more than 2625 kcal/day?
Answer:
a) 0.3085
b) 2574
c) 0.0125
Step-by-step explanation:
mean (μ) = 2600 kcal/day and a standard deviation (σ) = 50 kcal/day
a) The z score is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{2650-2600}{50}=1[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, P(x > 2650) = P(z > 1) = 1 - P(z < 1) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
b) A probability of 30% corresponds with a z score of -0.52
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\-0.52=\frac{x-2600}{50} \\x-2600=-26\\x=2600-26\\x=2574[/tex]
c) For a sampling distribution of sample mean, the standard deviation is [tex]\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
The z score is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }}[/tex]
n = 20
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }}=\frac{2625-2600}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{20} }}=2.24[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, P(x > 2625) = P(z > 2.24) = 1 - P(z < 2.24) = 1 - 0.9875 = 0.0125
The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2617 and standard deviation 586. One randomly selected customer is observed to see how many calories X that customer consumes. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. What is the distribution of X? X N,(_____ , ____)
b. Find the probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories. ______
c. What proportion of the customers consume over 2764 calories? __________
d, The Piggy award will given out to the 1% of customers who consume the most calories. What is the fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award? __________ calories. (Round to the nearest calorie)
Answer:
a) N(2617, 586)
b) 0.3613 = 36.13% probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
c) 0.4013 = 40.13% of the customers consume over 2764 calories
d) 3981 calories.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 2617, \sigma = 586[/tex]
a. What is the distribution of X?
Here we first place the mean, then the standard deviation.
N(2617, 586)
b. Find the probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2409. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2409 - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.355[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.355[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.3613
0.3613 = 36.13% probability that the customer consumes less than 2409 calories.
c. What proportion of the customers consume over 2764 calories?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2764. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2764 - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5987
1 - 0.5987 = 0.4013
0.4013 = 40.13% of the customers consume over 2764 calories
d. The Piggy award will given out to the 1% of customers who consume the most calories. What is the fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award?
Top 1%, so the 100-1 = 99th percentile.
The 99th percentile is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So it is X when Z = 2.327. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 2617}{586}[/tex]
[tex]X - 2617 = 2.327*586[/tex]
[tex]X = 3980.6[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest calorie, 3981 calories.

What are Linear Equations?Linear equations are equation involving one or more expressions including variables and constants and the variables are having no exponents or the exponent of the variable is 1.
Linear equations may include one or more variables.
Given are a system of linear equations.
5x + 3y = 7
y = 4
We already have the value of y as 4.
Substituting that value of y = 4 in the first equation 5x + 3y = 7, we get,
5x + (3 × 4) = 7
5x + 12 = 7
Subtracting both sides by 12, we get,
5x + 12 - 12 = 7 - 12
5x = -5
Dividing both sides by 5, we get,
5x / 5 = -5 / 5
x = -1
Hence the value of x is -1 and the value of y is 4.

en un parque hay una zona de columpios y una pista de patinaje que ocupa en total 5 quintos del espacio .si los columpios ocupan 2 septimos del parque . que fraccion del parque ocupa la pista de patinaje
Answer:
The rink occupies 69% of the whole park, approximately, which is equivalent to 280/408.Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to find the number which express the whole park.
Notice that the park is divided in two sections, one occupies 5/8 of the total, and the other occupies 2/7 of the total. So, the sum would be
[tex]\frac{5}{8}+\frac{2}{7}=\frac{35+16}{56} =\frac{51}{56}[/tex]
Now we have the total space there, we need to divide 5/8 by 51/56, so
[tex]\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{51}{56}=\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{56}{51}=\frac{280}{408} \approx 0.69[/tex]
Therefore, the rink occupies 69% of the whole park, approximately, which is equivalent to 280/408.
Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? (3m-4)^3(3m^5)
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to cube each term in the parentheses. When you take an exponent to an exponent, you just multiply them. You get (27m^-12). In order to get rid of that negative exponent, you should put a one over the m term and make -12, +12:
[tex](\frac{27}{m^12} )(3m^5)[/tex]
Multiply the numerators to get:
[tex]81m^5[/tex]
You now have:
[tex]\frac{81m^5}{m^12}[/tex]
When you divide exponents, you subtract them. 5 - 12 = -7
You have m^-7 which is the same as 1/m^7. Finally, mulitply that by the 81 we left out to get the answer of D.
The expression equivalent to the given expression (3m⁻⁴)³(3m⁵) is 81/m⁷. So, option D is correct.
What is exponentiation?Exponentiation is a mathematical operation that involves two numbers, the base b, and the exponent or power n, and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n." It is written as bⁿ and is pronounced as "b raised to the power of n."
When n is a positive integer, bⁿ = b × b × b ×...× b
and b⁻ⁿ = 1/bⁿ
If n = 0, then b⁰ = 1.
How to solve this problem?Here, (3m⁻⁴)³(3m⁵) = (3³)(m⁻⁴)³(3m⁵) = (27m⁻¹²)(3m⁵) = 81m⁵⁻¹² = 81/m⁷
Therefore, the expression equivalent to the given expression (3m⁻⁴)³(3m⁵) is 81/m⁷. So, option D is correct.
