Question Correction
A group of neighbors are constructing a community garden that is 80 meters wide and 40 meters long. The top two vertices are plotted below at (10, 70) and (90, 70). What are the coordinates for the bottom two vertices of the garden?
Answer:
(10,30) and (90,30)
Step-by-step explanation:
The community garden is 80 m wide and 40 m long.
The top two vertex are plotted at: (10, 70) and (90, 70).
Horizontal Distance =90-10=80
This serves as the Width of the garden.
Since the length is 40m, the bottom two vertex can be derived by the transformation: (x,y-40).
(x,y-40)-->(10, 70)=(10,30); and
(x,y-40)-->(90, 70)=(90,30)
The coordinates for the two bottom vertices are (10,30) and (90,30).

The functions f(x) and g(x) are graphed.
On a coordinate plane, a curved red line with an upward arc, labeled g of x, crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and the x-axis at (2, 0). A straight blue line with a negative slope, labeled f of x, crosses the y-axis at (0, 4) and the x-axis at (2, 0).
Which represents where f(x) = g(x)?
f(2) = g(2) and f(0) = g(0)
f(2) = g(0) and f(0) = g(4)
f(2) = g(0) and f(4) = g(2)
f(2) = g(4) and f(1) = g(1)
Answers
Answer: first answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
They give us that f(0) and g(0) = 4 and f(2) = g(2) = 0, so the answer is simply the first one. When x=0, y=4 for both and when x=2, y=0 for both.

A cylindrical metal pipe has a diameter of 8.4 millimeters and a height of 10 millimeters. A hole cut out of the center has a diameter of 6 millimeters.
A smaller cylinder is cut out of a larger cylinder. The smaller cylinder has a diameter of 6 millimeters. The larger cylinder has a diameter of 8.4 millimeters. Both cylinders have a height of 10 millimeters.
What is the volume of metal in the pipe? Use 3.14 for and round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic millimeter.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]271.3 mm^3\\[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the volume of the hole and subtract it from the volume of the cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is given as:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
where r = radius
h = height
A cylindrical metal pipe has a diameter of 8.4 mm and a height of 10 mm.
Its radius is 4.2 mm. Therefore, its volume is:
[tex]V = 3.14 * 4.2^2 * 10 = 553.9 mm^3[/tex]
A hole cut out of the center has a diameter of 6 mm. Its height is also 10 mm.
Its radius is 3 mm. Therefore, its volume is:
[tex]V = 3.14 * 3^2 * 10 = 282.6 mm^3[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of metal in the pipe is:
[tex]553.9 - 282.6 = 271.3 mm^3[/tex]

The width of the rectangle is 2 more than the length. The area of the rectangle is 63 square inches. How long is the width?
Answers
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle= length ×width
Let the length of the rectangle be x inches.
Width of rectangle= (x +2) inches
since the width is 2 more than the length.
63= x(x+2)
63= x(x) +2x
Bringing constant to one side,
x² +2x -63= 0
(x +9)(x-7) = 0 (factorise)
x+9= 0 or x-7= 0
x= -9 or x= 7
(reject)
width of rectangle
= 7+2
= 9 inches
*We reject x= -9 since the length of the rectangle cannot be a negative number.

Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding means for population 1 and population 2 form matched pairs.
The data for the test are the differences between the mean for population 1 and mean for population 2.
μd = the mean for population 1 minus the mean for population 2.
Population 1 population 2 diff

51 55 - 4
Sample mean, xd
= (- 5 - 2 - 5 - 1 - 6 + 0 - 7 - 4 - 3 - 4)/10 = - 3.7
xd = - 3.7
Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n
n = 10
Summation(x - mean)² = (- 5 + 3.7)^2 + (- - 2 + 3.7)^2 + (- 5 + 3.7)^2+ (- 1 + 3.7)^2 + (- 6 + 3.7)^2 + (0 + 3.7)^2 + (- 7 + 3.7)^2 + (- 4 + 3.7)^2 + (- 3 + 3.7)^2 + (- 4 + 3.7)^2 = 73.7
Standard - eviation = √(73.7/10
sd = 2.71
For the null hypothesis
H0: μd ≥ 0
For the alternative hypothesis
H1: μd < 0
The distribution is a students t. Therefore, degree of freedom, df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
The formula for determining the test statistic is
t = (xd - μd)/(sd/√n)
t = (- 3.7 - 0)/(2.71/√10)
t = - 4.32
We would determine the probability value by using the t test calculator.
p = 0.00097
Since alpha, 0.1 > than the p value, 0.00097, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, at 0.1 level of significance, we can conclude that these data are sufficient to indicate that the mean for population 2 is larger than that for population 1.
3) for population 1,
Mean = (19 + 25 + 31 + 52 + 55 + 34 + 59 + 47 + 17 + 51)/10 = 38.4
Summation(x - mean)² = (19 - 38.4)^2 + (25 - 38.4)^2 + (31 - 38.4)^2+ (52 - 38.4)^2 + (49 - 38.4)^2 + (34 - 38.4)^2 + (59 - 38.4)^2 + (47 - 38.4)^2 + (17 - 38.4)^2 + (51 - 38.4)^2 = 2042.4
Standard deviation, s1 = √2042.4/10 = 14.3
for population 2,
Mean = (24 + 27 + 36 + 53 + 55 + 34 + 66 + 51 + 20 + 55)/10 = 42.1
Summation(x - mean)² = (24 - 42.1)^2 + (27 - 42.1)^2 + (36 - 42.1)^2 + (53 - 42.1)^2 + (55 - 42.1)^2 + (34 - 42.1)^2 + (66 - 42.1)^2 + (51 - 42.1)^2 + (20 - 42.1)^2 + (55 - 42.1)^2 = 2248.9
Standard deviation, s2 = √2248.9/10 = 15
The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as
Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)
For a 90% confidence interval, we would determine the z score from the t distribution table because the number of samples are small
Degree of freedom =
(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (10 - 1) + (10 - 1) = 18
z = 1.734
x1 - x2 = 38.4 - 42.1 = - 3.7
√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = √(14.3²/10 + 15²/10)
= 6.55
Margin of error = 1.734 × 6.55 = 11.4
The 90% confidence interval is
- 3.7 ± 11.4

The images to solve this problem is in the attachment.
Answer: [tex]F_{fs}[/tex] = 671.0 N; [tex]F_{N}[/tex] = 300 N
Step-by-step explanation: From the image in the attachment and knowing that the box is in equilibrium, i.e., the "sum" of all the forces is 0, it is possible to conclude that:
[tex]F_{fs}[/tex] = [tex]F_{gx}[/tex] and [tex]F_{N}[/tex] = [tex]F_{gy}[/tex]
Using trigonometry, shown in the second attachment, the values for each force are:

[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = [tex]F_{g}[/tex]. sin(20)
[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = 735.0.913
[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = 671.0
Normal Forcecos 20° = [tex]\frac{F_{gy} }{F_{g} }[/tex]
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = [tex]F_{g}[/tex]. cos (20)
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = 735.0.408
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = 300

Step-by-step explanation:
For computing the money required at the end of the account term we need to apply the Future value formula i.e be to shown in the attachment below:
Given that,
Present value = $3,000
Rate of interest = 3% ÷ 365 days = 0.00821917
NPER = 5 years × 365 days = 1,825
PMT = $0
The formula is shown below:
= FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;PV;type)
So, after applying the above formula
the amount of future value is $3,485.48

340m
460m
320m
Answers
Answer:
340 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the figure looks like the one below.
We have three parallel lines cut by two transversals.
1. Lengths of segments
(a) Segment VS
If Vitor walks 260 m,
VS + SE = 260
VS + 100 = 260
VS = 260 - 100 = 160 m
(b) Segment MJ
If Marcos walks 270 m,
MJ + JE = 270
VS + 180 = 270
VS = 270 - 180 = 90 m
(c) Segment PV
The segments on the transversals are proportional.
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{x}{90} & = & \dfrac{160}{180} \\\\x & = & 90 \times \left (\dfrac{160}{180}\right )\\\\& = &\textbf{80 m}\\\end{array}\\\textbf{PV = 80 m}[/tex]
2. Distance travelled by Pedro
Distance = PV + VS + SE = 80 m + 160 m + 100 m = 340 m
Pedro walks 340 m to school.

1-5 = 4
6-10 = 9
11-15 = 14
16-20 =19
21-25 =24
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of boxes compared to the number of broken crayons you have to find 5 consecutive (hence there being five boxes to fill in) numbers with a constant rate of change. Start with the largest number possible that you can pick and then find the second largest so 24 and 19 the rate of change is 5. Compared to 17 and 19 the rate of change is 2 so it doesn’t have the same rate of change but if you try 19-5 you get 14 which is an option if you subtract 14-5 you get 9 which is another option 9-5 is 4 the lowest number you could possibly pick and they all have a constant rate of change of 5 so the answer is correct.

Find the point of diminishing returns (x comma y )for the function R(x), where R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of dollars) and x represents the amount spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars).
Answers
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The point of diminishing returns (x , y ) is (11, 21462)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The function is [tex]R(x) = 10,000 -x^3 - 33x^2 + 800x , \ \ 0 \le x \le 20[/tex]
Here R(x) represents revenue (in thousands of dollars) and x represents the amount spent on advertising (in thousands of dollars).
Now differentiating R(x) we have
[tex]R'(x) = -3x^2 +66x + 800[/tex]
Finding the second derivative of R(x)
[tex]R''(x) = -6x +66[/tex]
at inflection point [tex]R''(x) = 0[/tex]
So [tex]-6x +66 = 0[/tex]
=> [tex]x= 11[/tex]
substituting value of x into R(x)
[tex]R(x) = 10,000 -(11)^3 - 33(11)^2 + 800(11) ,[/tex]
[tex]R(x) = 21462[/tex]
Now the point of diminishing returns (x , y ) i.e (x , R(x) ) is

An aeroplane X whose average speed is 50°km/hr leaves kano airport at 7.00am and travels for 2 hours on a bearing 050°. It then changes its course and flies on a bearing 1200 to an airstrip A. Another aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and flies on a straight course to the airstrip A. both planes arrives at the airstrip A at 11.30am. calculate the average speed of Y to three significant figures. the direction of flight Y to the nearest degree
Answers
Answer:
(a)123 km/hr
(b)39 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from T (Kano Airport) to point U in the diagram.
Distance = Speed X Time
Therefore: Distance from T to U =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km
It moves from Point U at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.
Distance, UA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km
Using alternate angles in the diagram:
[tex]\angle U=110^\circ[/tex]
(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, TA by plane Y.
Using Cosine rule
[tex]u^2=t^2+a^2-2ta\cos U\\u^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\u^2=34175.50\\u=184.87$ km[/tex]
Plane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am
Time taken =1.5 hour
Therefore:
Average Speed of Y
[tex]=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)[/tex]
b)Flight Direction of Y
Using Law of Sines
[tex]\dfrac{t}{\sin T} =\dfrac{u}{\sin U}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin T} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin T=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin T=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\T=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\T=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)[/tex]
The direction of flight Y to the nearest degree is 39 degrees.

Complete the equation of the line through (−10,3), (−10,3) and (−8,−8) ,(−8,−8).
Answers
Answer:
(y + 8) = -5.5(x + 8)
or
y = -5.5x - 52
Step-by-step explanation:
So find the slope first:
[tex]\frac{-8-3}{-8+10}=\frac{-11}{2} =-5.5[/tex]
Point - Slope Form: (y + 8) = -5.5(x + 8)
Slope - Intercept Form: y = -5.5x + b
-8 = 44 + b
b = -52
y = -5.5x - 52
7. How much alcohol must be added to 480 grams of hand sanitizer that is 24% alcohol to
make it a hand sanitizer that is 40% alcohol? Correct your answer to the nearest whole
number
Answers
Answer:
the amount of alcohol to be added is 128 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The initial mass of the hand sanitizer = 480 grams
The initial strength of the hand sanitizer = 24 %
The new strength of the hand sanitizer = 40%
The objective here is to determine the final amount of alcohol that is to be added to get the new strength of the alcohol
First; let's find the mass of alcohol in the initial hand sanitizer;
SO;
= 24 % of 480
[tex]=\dfrac{24}{100}*480[/tex]
= 115.2 grams
If y should represent the mass of the alcohol added to have 40%; we have
The new amount of the alcohol to be[tex](115.2 + y) \ grams[/tex]
The new amount of the hand sanitizer will be[tex](480 + y) grams[/tex]
∴
For the new strength of sanitizer:
40 % of (480 + y) = (115.2 + y)
[tex]0.4 *(480 + y) = (115.2 + y) \\ \\ 192 + 0.4 y = 115.2 + y \\ \\ y (1 - 0.4) = 192 - 115.2 \\ \\ y= \dfrac{76.8}{0.6} \\ \\ y = 128 \ grams[/tex]
Thus ; we can conclude that the amount of alcohol to be added is 128 grams
