You have 9 identical balls, one of which is heavier than the rest. What is the smallest number of times you need to weigh the balls to know which one is the heavier one?

Answers

Answer 1

You could do this with two weighings assuming its a two pan balance - (1) place three balls on each side - if they balance out then its the remaining three that has abnormal ball (2) out of that group, place one ball on each side - if balances it out, the abnormal ball is the remaining one.

If the weighing in step (1) does not balance out, grab the group of three balls that is light or heavy and repeat step (2) described above.

5: x = 5        6: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 5:

Since parallelogram ABCD has to be a parallelogram, than that means that all opposite sides have to be congruent on it. One side has to be equivalent to the opposite side, so the equation on that line is equivalent to the equation on the opposite side, as well. EXAMPLE: 5x = 3x+10, which turns to 2x = 10, which turns to x = 5.

Problem 6:

Just like Problem 5, the opposite lines in the middle of the rhombus have to be congruent to one another since the given shape must be a parallelogram. So 4x = 8, and that turns to x = 2. I solved all of these problems using multi-step equations.

What is line segment ?

A line segment is a part of straight line measured between two points.

A line segment always have a definite length.

What is the value of x ?

Given, a line segment contains points A, B, C in order.

Also the point B is the middle point of AC.

Hence, we can say that, AB = BC  ......(1)

Here, AB = 7x-2 & BC = 4x+7

Therefore, from (1) we get,

7x-2 = 4x+7

⇒ 7x-4x = 7+2

⇒ 3x = 9

⇒ x = 3

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the internal angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

here n = 5, hence

sum = 180° × 3 = 540°

Each exterior angle plus interior angle = 180°

Subtract each exterior angle from 180 for corresponding interior angle.

180 - 59 = 121, 180 - 77 = 103, 180 - 66 = 114, 180 - 62 = 118

Sum the 4 interior angles and subtract from 540 for 5 th interior angle

5 th = 540° - (121 + 103 + 114 + 118)° = 540° - 456° = 84°

The 5 th interior angle and 12x sum to 180 ( same reason as above )

Hence

12x + 84 = 180 ( subtract 84 from both sides )

12x = 96 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 8

x is 3

y is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x-5= -y

Multiply both sides by 4

8x-20= -4y

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

Subtract 11 from both sides

5x-11= -4y

Combine equations:

5x-11=8x-20

Subtract 5x from both sides

-11=3x-20

Add 20 to both sides

9=3x

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Solving for y:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

-y+5=2x

Multiply both sides by 5

-5y+25=10x

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

-4y+11=5x

Multiply both sides by 2

-8y+22=10x

Combine equations:

-8y+22= -5y+25

Add 8y to both sides

22=3y+25

Divide both sides by 25

-3=3y

3y= -3

Divide both sides by 3

y= -1

Answers

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratios are 2:3, 3:4, 5:6, 1:5.

We need to arrange these ratios in descending order.

Fraction form of given ratios are

[tex]\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{6},\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

First find LCM of denominators.

[tex]LCM(3,4,6,5)=60[/tex]

Now, make denominator common, i.e., 60.

[tex]\dfrac{2\times 20}{3\times 20},\dfrac{3\times 15}{4\times 15},\dfrac{5\times 10}{6\times 10},\dfrac{1\times 12}{5\times 12}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{40}{60},\dfrac{45}{60},\dfrac{50}{60},\dfrac{12}{50}[/tex]

Now, arrange numerator in descending order.

[tex]50>45>40>12[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{50}{60}>\dfrac{45}{60}>\dfrac{40}{60}>\dfrac{12}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{6}>\dfrac{3}{4}>\dfrac{2}{3}>\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 5:6>3:4>2:3>1:5[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Using scientific notation, what is the solution to (4.5 * 108) / (1.5 * 105)?

Answers

Answer: 3.09 *10^0




Explanation: First we want to work out the operations and then set our answer in scientific notation.

We star with the multiplication in the parentheses because of the order of operations and then divide.

Thus, we have 486/157.5.

The answer is 3.085714286.

The general form of scientific notation is c*10^e, where c is a number from 1 to 10.

Since the answer is between 1 and 10 already, we did not need to move a decimal and e in the general formula represents how many times you moved the decimal.

Also, I simply rounded the answer to the hundredths place, which is acceptable to most teachers.

-2.

Answers

Answer:

Option (1). h = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete: here is the complete question.

The graph shows the function f(x) = [tex](2.5)^{x}[/tex] was horizontally shifted by a value of h to get the function g(x) = [tex](2.5)^{x-h}[/tex]. What is the value of h ?

From the graph attached,

Point (0, 1) lies on function f(x).

If the graph of function f(x) is shifted h units left horizontally, rule for the translation will be,

f(x + h) → g(x)

For 2 units shift to the left horizontally,

f(x + 2) → g(x)

[tex](2.5)^{x+2}[/tex] = [tex](2.5)^{x-h}[/tex]

By comparing both the sides,

x + 2 = x - h

h = -2

Therefore, Option (1) will be the answer.

Which expression gives the length of the transverse axis of the hyperbola
shown below?

Answers

Answer:x-y

Explanation:

Length of transverse axis of hyperbola means distance between both the vertices of hyperbola which is constant given by 2a.

As definition of hyperbola:

Difference in distance of any point (x,y) from both focus is a positive constant equals to length of transverse axis.

So, distance of (x,y) from foci 1)-( distance of (x,y) from foci 2)=2a

x-y=2a

Length of transverse axis is x-y.

hope it helps....

Good luck on your assignment

The length of the transverse axis is x - y if point (x, y) is separated from either focus by a positive constant equal to the transverse axis' length option (C) x - y is correct.

What is hyperbola?

It's a two-dimensional geometry curve with two components that are both symmetric. In other words, the number of points in two-dimensional geometry that have a constant difference between them and two fixed points in the plane can be defined.

We have given a hyperbola shown in the picture.

The green line indicates the transverse axis of the hyperbola.

As we know,

The distance between the two vertices of the hyperbola, which is always given by 2a, is referred to as the length of the transverse axis.

Any point (x, y) is separated from either focus by a positive constant equal to the transverse axis' length.

x-y=2a

The length of the transverse axis =  x - y

Thus, the length of the transverse axis is x - y if point (x, y) is separated from either focus by a positive constant equal to the transverse axis' length option (C) x - y is correct.

F(2, 11/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression:

(x-2)² = 10(y - 3)

can be rewritten in the vertex form as follows:

(x-2)² = 10y - 30

(x-2)² + 30 = 10y

1/10(x-2)² + 3 = y

General vertex form is:

y = a(x-h)² + k

then, the vertex is locate at (h, k). In this case the vertes is (2, 3), and a = 1/10

The focus of a parabola is located ar F(h, k+p), where p = 1/(4a). Replacing into these equations:

p = 1/(4*1/10) = 5/2
