The product of the length of 2 unequal poles before cutting 2 cm from each was 285 cm. Their present sum after cutting 2cm from each is 30cm. What is the length of the shorter pole? The product of the length of 2 unequal poles before cutting 2 cm from each was 285 cm . Their present sum after cutting 2cm from each is 30cm . What is the length of the shorter pole ?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shorter pole can be found by forming and subsequently solving 2 equations.

Start by defining the variables that are going to be used in the working.

Let the original length of the shorter pole be a cm and that of the longer pole be b cm.

'Product' refers to the multiplication operation.

ab= 285 -----(1)

On the other hand, 'sum' refers to the addition operation.

Length of shorter pole after cutting= a -2

Length of longer pole after cutting= b -2

(a -2) +(b-2)= 30

a +b -4= 30

Adding 4 to both sides:

a +b= 30 +4

a +b= 34 -----(2)

From (2):

a= 34 -b -----(3)

Let's solve by substitution:

Substitute (3) into (1):

b(34 -b)= 285

Expand:

34b -b²= 285

b² -34b +285= 0

Factorise:

(b -15)(b -19)= 0

b -15= 0       or       b -19= 0

b= 15            or             b= 19

Substitute into (1):

a(15)= 285       or       a(19)= 285

a= 285 ÷15      or             a= 285 ÷19

a= 19                or             a= 15

Since a <b, a= 15 and b= 19.

Thus, the length of the shorter pole is 15 cm.

The amount invested at 7% is $
The amount invested at 2% is $

Answers

The amount invested at each rate

Investment at 7% = $25000

Investment at 2%  = $11,000

What is investment?

Investment definition is an asset acquired or invested in to build wealth and save money from the hard earned income or appreciation.

Given:

Larry Mitchell invested = $36,000 at 7% annual simple interest

the rest at 2% annual simple interest.

Total investment = 36000

let the investment at 7% is x

then, invested at 2% = 36000 - x

Total interest earned = $1,970

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Investment at 4%:

(x * 0.07) + [(36000 - x) * 0.02] = 1970

0.07x + 720 - 0.02x= 1970

0.05x = 1970-720

0.05x = 1250

x= 25000

Hence,

Investment at 7% = $25000

Investment at 2% = $36,000 - $25000 = $11,000

The price of admission at a movie theater is $6 for an adult and $4 for a child. In one day, the movie theater sold 80 tickets and made $420. How many adults and how many children bought tickets to the movie theater that day?
x + y = 80,
6x + 4y = 420
Which is a solution of the system of equations, and what does it represent?
(20, 60); 20 adult tickets and 60 child tickets
(30, 50); 30 adult tickets and 50 child tickets
(40, 40); 40 adult tickets and 40 child tickets
(50, 30); 50 adult tickets and 30

Answers

Last option: (50, 30); 50 adult tickets and 30 child tickets

What is Linear Equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1.

We have the system of equations:

x + y = 80

6x + 4y = 420

We will use elimination method to solve it:  

Multiply the first equation by -6 and then add the equations:

- 6x - 6y = -480

6x + 4y = 420  

We get:

-2y = -60

After dividing both sides by -2 we get:

y = 30

then plugging 30 in place of y into the original first equation we get:

x+30=80

Then subtracting 30 from both sides we get:

x = 50

The solution to the system is (50, 30)

Then notice the second equation 6x+4y=420 clear indicates that x represents the tickets for adults since the price for adults $6 is the coefficient of the x-term, while the price for children which is $4 is attached as coefficient in front of the y.

Thus, x=50 means there were sold 50 adult tickets. And y=30 that there were sold 30 child tickets.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the law of indices

. a^-n = 1/a^n

. (a^4)^5 = a^5×4 = a^20

Note : When two base are equal , we equate the Exponents.

3^4x-5 = (1/27)^2x+10

= 3^4x-5 = (27^-1)^2x+10

= 3^4x-5 = (3^-3)^2x+10

= 3^4x-5 = 3^ -3(2x+10)

= 3^4x-5 = 3^ -6x-30

The two base are 3 so we equate the exponents.

= 4x - 5 = -6x - 30

= 4x + 6x = -30+5

= 10x = -25

= 10x/10 = -25/10

x = -25/10

x = - 5/2

Answer:

  y ≈ 15272.9(1.06306^x) . . . . from regression tool

  y = 15300(1.0624^x) . . . . calculated "by hand"

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential model is one that uses the exponential function ...

  f(x) = a·b^x

to model the data. The value of 'a' is the function value when x=0, the initial value. The value of 'b' is the growth factor, the multiplier between function values for successive values of x.

__

tool

An exponential regression tool makes short work of this. Such tools are available on some calculators, apps, and spreadsheets. All that is required is entering the data into a table and invoking the tool. The one shown in the attachment tells you the model is approximately ...

  y ≈ 15272.9(1.06306^x)

__

averaging

We can average the growth rate factors a couple of different ways. When we think of "averaging," we usually think of the arithmetic mean, the sum of values divided by their number. If we average the growth rates in this way, we get ...

  average rate of growth =

  ((161/153) +(173/161) +(184/173) +(196/184) +(207/196) +(220/207))/6 ≈ 1.0624

Using the first table value as the initial value, the model formed this way is ...

  y = 15300(1.0624^x)

__

For exponential growth it may make more sense to compute the geometric mean. This is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. In this case, it reduces to the 6-th root of the ratio of the last to the first:

  average rate of growth = (220/153)^(1/6) ≈ 1.0624

This gives the same growth factor as above, hence the same model.

The second attachment shows the application of this model to the domain used in the table. We see there are some minor differences when rounding the function value to the nearest hundred.

The differences in our two models seem to arise from rounding the data values in the table to the nearest hundred.

__

summary

The values given in the table can be used in different ways to arrive at two similar, but different exponential models of the table data:

y = 15272.9(1.06306^x)y = 15300(1.0624^x)

Interestingly, the function calculated "by hand" has a very slightly better correlation with the table data. The difference in correlation coefficients is in the 6th decimal place.

After a careful analysis, Susan developed the following table:

Answers

The Maximax decision is that Susan should build a very large gas station due to the largest value of row maximums.

What is a decision table?

A decision table can be defined as a type of table that is used for the graphical representation of the actions to perform, especially based on given conditions and business level rules.

The decision table for Susan’s problem is shown below:

Size            Good market   Fair market   Poor market    Row maximum

Small              50,000           20,000            -10,000           50,000

Medium          80,000           30,000            -20,000          80,000

Large              100,000          30,000            -40,000          100,000

Very large      300,000         25,000            -160,000         300,000

Thus, the Maximax decision is for Susan to build a very large gas station due to the largest value of row maximums.

For the Maximin decision, we have:

Size            Good market   Fair market   Poor market    Row minimum

Small              50,000           20,000            -10,000           -10,000

Medium          80,000           30,000            -20,000          -20,000

Large              100,000          30,000            -40,000          -40,000

Very large      300,000         25,000            -160,000         -160,000

Therefore, the Maximin decision is that Susan should build a small gas station due to the largest value of row minimums.

For the equally likely decision, we would find the row average:

Row 1 = (50,000 + 20,000 - 10,000)/3 = 20,000.

Row 2 = (80,000 + 30,000 - 20,000)/3 = 30,000.

Row 3 = (100,000 + 30,000 - 40,000)/3 = 30,000.

Row 4 = (300,000 + 25,000 - 160,000)/3 = 55,000.

Hence, the equally likely decision is that Susan should build a very large gas station due to the largest value of row average.
