based on the census state A has 11 fewer electoral votes for president then state b. If the total number of electoral votes for these two states is 87 find the number for each state.

Answers

Answer 1
a + b = 87
a = b - 11

b - 11 + b = 87
2b - 11 = 87
2b = 87 + 11
2b = 98
b = 98/2
b = 49 <===

a = b - 11
a = 49 - 11
a = 38 <===

A publisher estimates their costs of publishing a book is from $980,000 to $1,240,000. So far, they have spent $824,000. Which compound inequality correctly expresses how much more the publisher can spend?

$155,850 ≥ x ≤ $415,850

$155,850 ≤ x ≥ $415,850

$155,850 ≥ x ≥ $415,850

$155,850 ≤ x ≤ $415,850

Answers

The least amount the publisher can spend is:
980,000 - 824,000 = 156,000

The greatest amount the publisher can spend is:
1,240,000 - 824,000 = 416,000

The range of amount the publisher is left to spend is given by:
156,000 ≤ x ≤ 416,000

Answer: Fourth option (D)

Answer:

[tex]155,850 \leq  x \leq 415,850[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A publisher estimates their costs of publishing a book is from $980,000 to $1,240,000.

Let x be the amount publisher can spend

So, [tex]980000\leq x \leq 1240000[/tex]

Now we are given that  So far, they have spent $824,000

So, [tex](980000-824000)\leq x \leq (1240000-824000)[/tex]

[tex]156000\leq x \leq 416000[/tex]

So, Option D is true

Hence compound inequality correctly expresses how much more the publisher can spend is [tex]155,850 \leq  x \leq 415,850[/tex]

A 33 - m tall building casts a shadow. The distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 37 m . Find the length of the shadow. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

This is Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2 , a = 33 and c = 37 so b^2 + 1089 = 1369 , b^2 = 280 , b = 16.73m
Final answer:

To solve this, we use Pythagoras' theorem as we have a right-angled triangle formed by the building, its shadow and the line between the top of the building to the end of the shadow. We find that the length of the shadow is approximately 16.7 meters.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to apply Pythagoras' theorem because the building, the shadow and the line between the top of the building to the end of the shadow form a right-angled triangle.  

Pythagoras' theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This can be written as:

a² + b² = c²

In this scenario, the height of the building is one side of the triangle (a), the shadow is the other side (b), and the line from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is the hypotenuse (c).

So, to find the length of the shadow, we rearrange the formula to solve for b:

b = sqrt(c² - a²)

Then, we substitute the known values:

b = sqrt( (37m)² - (33m)²) = sqrt(1369 - 1089) = sqrt(280) = 16.7m

So, the length of the shadow is approximately 16.7 meters.

A sum of money is invested at 12% compounded quarterly. About how long will it take for the amount of money to double?

Compound interest formula: (image uploaded V(t) )

t = years since initial deposit
n = number of times compounded per year
r = annual interest rate (as a decimal)
P = initial (principal) investment
V(t) = value of investment after t years

A. 5.9 years
B. 6.1 years
C. 23.4 years
D. 24.5 years

Answers

Follow the given formula.  The initial amount of money invested, P, becomes 2P (same thing as "doubles) after t years.  Since compounding is quarterly, n=4.  The annual interest rate is 12%.  That is, r=0.12.

Then we have 2P = P (1 + 0.12/4)^(4t) and need only solve for time, t.

Simplifying the above equation:  2 = (1.03)^(4t)

We must isolate 4t, and then isolate t.  To do this, take the common log of both sides of the above equation.  We get:

log 2 = (4t) log 1.03.  This gives us 4t = [log 2] / [log 1.03], or

4t =  23.4498

Dividing both sides by 4, we get     t = 5.86 (years).

Compound interest is the interest generated overtime on a sum of money invested. The time it will take for the amount of money to double is 5.9 years

How to calculate the compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest generated overtime on a sum of money invested. The formula for calculating compound interest is expressed as:
V(t) = P(1+r/n)^nt

where:

t = years since initial depositn = number of times compounded per yearr = annual interest rate (as a decimal)P = initial (principal) investmentV(t) = value of investment after t years

Given the following

V(t) = 2P
r = 0.12
n = 4

Substitute
2P = P(1+0.12/4)^4t
2 =  (1.03)^4t
ln2 = 4t ln(1.03)
0.6931 = 0.1182t
t = 0.6931/0.1182
t = 5.9 years

Hence the time it will take for the amount of money to double is 5.9 years

Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = –2x2 + 3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have?

Discriminant = b2 – 4ac


real number solutions

Answers

Determine the discriminant for the quadratic equation 0 = –2x2 + 3. Based on the discriminant value, how many real number solutions does the equation have?  Remember that the discriminant is calculated using the coefficents a, b and c.  Given 0 = -2x^2 + 0x + 3, the coeff. are a=-2, b=0 and c=3.

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.  Here, the discriminant is 0^2 - 4(-2)(3) = 24.

Since the discriminant is positive, you have two real, unequal roots.

The positive value of the discriminant implies that there are two real unequal roots and this can be determined by using the formula of the discriminant.

Given :

The quadratic equation is [tex](0=-2x^2+3)[/tex].

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of real solutions does the equation have:

Step 1 - Write the given quadratic equation.

[tex]0=-2x^2+0x+3[/tex]

Step 2 - The formula of discriminant is given below:

[tex]D = b^2-4ac[/tex]

where 'b' is the coefficient of 'x', 'a' is the coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex], and 'c' is the constant.

Step 3 - Now, substitute the values of a, b, and c in the above formula.

[tex]D = (0)^2-4\times (-2)\times 3[/tex]

[tex]D = 24[/tex]

Step 4 - The positive value of the discriminant implies that there are two real unequal roots.

(4×1 + 3)/4 teaspoon ⇒ 12 cupcakes

7/4 teaspoon vanilla ⇒  12 cupcakes

Divide by 12 into both sides,

7/(4×12)  teaspoon vanilla ⇒ 1 cupcake

Now multiply by 30 on both sides,

(7 × 30)/(4 × 12)teaspoon vanilla ⇒ 30 cupcake

Car X leaves Northtown traveling at a steady rate of 55 mph.  Car Y leaves 1 hour later following Car X, traveling at a steady rate of 60 mph.  Which equation can be used to determine how long after Car X leaves Car Y will catch up?

Answers

The equation that can be used to determine how long after Car X leaves Car Y will catch up is D. 55x = 60(x - 1).

To determine when Car Y will catch up to Car X, we need to find the time it takes for Car Y to cover the same distance as Car X. Since Car Y leaves 1 hour later, it will travel for (x - 1) hours, where x represents the time Car X has been traveling. So, the equation would be:

D. 55x = 60(x - 1)

This equation accounts for the distance traveled by both cars over the same time frame, considering Car Y started an hour later.

Gio is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square 5x^2+15x-4=0 What's should gio do first?

Answers

Gio should first complete the square by adding and subtracting [tex]\((\frac{3}{2})^2\)[/tex], leading to the equation [tex]\((x + \frac{3}{2})^2 = \frac{25}{4}\).[/tex]

1. Make the Coefficient of [tex]\(x^2\) 1:[/tex]

Divide the entire equation by the coefficient of [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex] to make it equal to 1. In this case, divide the equation by 5:

[tex]\[x^2 + 3x - \frac{4}{5} = 0.\][/tex]

2. Move the Constant to the Other Side:

Move the constant term to the other side of the equation:

[tex]\[x^2 + 3x = \frac{4}{5}.\][/tex]

3. Complete the Square:

  Add and subtract [tex]\((\frac{3}{2})^2\)[/tex] inside the parentheses to complete the square:

 [tex]\[x^2 + 3x + (\frac{3}{2})^2 = \frac{4}{5} + (\frac{3}{2})^2.\][/tex]

4. Factor the Perfect Square Trinomial:

  Factor the left side, which now is a perfect square trinomial:

 [tex]\[(x + \frac{3}{2})^2 = \frac{25}{4}.\][/tex]

5. Solve for (x):

  Take the square root of both sides and solve for (x):

[tex]\[x + \frac{3}{2} = \pm \frac{5}{2}.\][/tex]

6. Isolate (x):

  Isolate (x) on one side to find the solutions:

  [tex]\[x = -\frac{3}{2} \pm \frac{5}{2}.\][/tex]

Therefore, Gio should first complete the square by adding and subtracting [tex]\((\frac{3}{2})^2\)[/tex], leading to the equation [tex]\((x + \frac{3}{2})^2 = \frac{25}{4}\).[/tex]
