Answer:
14.1 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Use pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
a = base
b = side
c = hypontenuse
then just plug the numbers into the formula -----> 6.3^2 + b^2 = 15.4^2
then subtract 6.3^2 from both sides ----> b^2 = 15.4^2 - 6.3^2
solve ------> b^2 = 197.47
Square root both sides and you get b = 14.1 mi as your answer

Step-by-step explanation:
A bag contains 10 green , 10 orange, 10 pink , and 10 purple chips each numbered 1 through 10. a chip is chosen at random.
What is the probability that the chip is purple, given that the card is a 4?
Answer: [tex]\bold{a.\quad \dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is already given that the number is a 4 and each of the four colors only has one 4, then the probability for green is:
[tex]P=\dfrac{\text{number of green 4's}}{\text{total number of 4's}}=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
If you wanted to find the probability that it is a four and it is green then you would calculate the probability as:
[tex]P=\dfrac{\text{number of 4's}}{\text{total number of numbers}}\times \dfrac{\text{number of greens}}{\text{total number of colors}}\\\\\\.\ =\dfrac{4}{40}\times\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\.\ =\dfrac{1}{40}[/tex]
Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the
point (-3,2) and having slope m = 2/3?
Check all that apply.
A. V-2 ={(x+3)
c. "=3x+4
D. 21 – 3y = - 12
Answer:
[tex]2x-3y=-12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the point-slope formula given by:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]
The given line passes through the
point (-3,2) and having slope [tex]m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
We substitute the given point and slope to get:
[tex]y-2=\frac{2}{3}(x--3)[/tex]
[tex]y-2=\frac{2}{3}(x+3)[/tex]
we clear the fraction to get;
[tex]3y-6=2(x+3)[/tex]
[tex]3y-6=2x+6[/tex]
[tex]3y-2x=6+6[/tex]
[tex]3y-2x=12[/tex]
Or in standard form:
[tex]2x-3y=-12[/tex]
The correct equation for a line passing through the point (-3,2) with a slope of 2/3 is y = 2/3x + 4, which corresponds to option C in the provided choices.
To find a correct equation for a line passing through a specific point with a given slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) is the point through which the line passes.
In this problem, we have the point (-3, 2) and a slope of 2/3. Substituting these values into the point-slope form gives us:
y - 2 = 2/3(x + 3).
After multiplying both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction, the equation becomes:
3(y - 2) = 2(x + 3).
Expanding and simplifying this equation further, we end up with:
3y - 6 = 2x + 6,
or
y = 2/3x + 4, which matches option C.
Therefore, the correct equation for the line passing through the point (-3, 2) with a slope of 2/3 is y = 2/3x + 4.

For the following geometric sequence, find the explicit formula.
{1, -3, 9, ...}
Answer:
the explicit formula for given geometric sequence {1,-3,9,..} is [tex]a_{n}= (-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the series
1,-3,9,...
the common ratio is:
-3/1 = -3
9/-3 = -3
So, the common ratio in the series is -3
a₁ = 1
The formula used for geometric series is:
[tex]a_{n}= a_{1}(r)^{n-1}[/tex]
Putting values of a₁ and r
[tex]a_{n}= 1(-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_{n}= (-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
So, the explicit formula for given geometric sequence {1,-3,9,..} is [tex]a_{n}= (-3)^{n-1}[/tex]
Which of the following are solutions to the equation 3x2 + 7x + 4 = 0
Select all that apply
O x=-1
O x=-4/3
x=3/4
x=1
For this case we have the following quadratic equation:
[tex]3x ^ 2 + 7x + 4 = 0[/tex]
Where:
[tex]a = 3\\b = 7\\c = 4[/tex]
According to the quadratic formula we have:
[tex]x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}[/tex]
Substituting:
[tex]x = \frac {-7 \pm \sqrt {7 ^ 2-4 (3) (4)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {-7 \pm \sqrt {49-48}} {6}\\x = \frac {-7 \pm \sqrt {1}} {6}\\x = \frac {-7 \pm1} {6}[/tex]
We have two roots:
[tex]x_ {1} = \frac {-7 + 1} {6} = \frac {-6} {6} = - 1\\x_ {2} = \frac {-7-1} {6} = \frac {-8} {6} = - \frac {4} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x_ {1} = - 1\\x_ {2} = - \frac {4} {3}[/tex]
Answer:
x = -4/3 x=-1

Jonah and his brother want to earn at least $400 this month, so they rented a lawn mower to mow lawns. They plan to charge $25 per lawn. The monthly rental fee for the lawn mower is $85. At this rate, what is the fewest number of lawns Jonah and his brother would have to cut to make their goal? Let m represent the number of lawns mowed. In the box, enter the inequality that models the situation.
Answer: 400<=25m-85
Step-by-step explanation: 400 is how much he wants to AT LEAST make so it’ll be more than or equal to four hundred. Then he gets payed 25 dollars per law. Number of laws are unknown so its m making 25m. Lastly he has to pay 85 dollars for the law mower so that subtracts his from his pay making it 25m-85.
Solve for x in the equation y^2 + 2x + 1 = 17.
Answer:
x = −1 ± √17
Hope this helps and have a nice day! :)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
So your equation is actually x^2+2x+1=17
Left hand side is already set for rewriting it as a perfect square
So you have actually that (x+1)^2=17
Now you just take square root of both sides
x+1=(pm) sqrt(17) (pm) means plus or minus
x=-1 (pm) sqrt(17) I subtracted 1 on both sides

Answer:
$40.35
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve for the sales price. Change the percentage into a decimal:
60% = 60/100 = 0.60
Next, multiply 0.60 with the original price, 97:
97 x 0.60 = 58.2
Subtract 58.2 from the original price:
97 - 58.2 = 38.8
Now, change the tax percentage into a decimal.
4% = 4/100 = 0.04
Multiply 0.04 with the sales price:
38.8 x 0.04 = 1.552
Add the sales price (rounded to nearest hundredth) to the sales price:
1.55 + 38.8 = 40.35
$40.35 is your answer.
~
Answer:
40.35
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the discount
97 * 60%
97 *.6 = 58.2
Subtract the discount to find the new price
97-58.20 =38.80
Next find the tax
38.80 * 4%
38.80 * .04
1.55
We add the tax to the sales price
38.8+1.55
40.35

the answer is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Find a1, for the given geometric series. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Sn= 88,560, r= 2.2, n= 6
a. 8,765.73
b. 2,477.6
c. 945.65
d. 14,754.5
Answer:
* The value of a1 = 945.65 ⇒ answer c
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the geometric series
- There is a constant ratio between each two consecutive numbers
- Ex:
# 5 , 10 , 20 , 40 , 80 , ………………………. (×2)
# 5000 , 1000 , 200 , 40 , …………………………(÷5)
* General term (nth term) of a Geometric Progression:
- U1 = a , U2 = ar , U3 = ar² , U4 = ar³ , U5 = ar^4
- Un = ar^n-1, where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio
between each two consecutive terms, n is the position
of the term
- The sum of first n terms of a Geometric series is calculate
from Sn = [a1 (1 - r^n)]/(1 - r) , where a1 is the first term, r is the
common ratio and n is the number of the terms
* Lets solve the problem
∵ Sn = 88,560
∵ r = 2.2
∵ n = 6
∵ Sn = [a1 (1 - r^n)]/(1 - r)
∴ 88,560 = [a1 (1 - 2.2^6)]/(1 - 2.2) ⇒ simplify up and down
∴ 88,560 = [a1 (-112.379904)]/(-1.2) ⇒ simplify the fraction
∴ 88,560 = a1 (93.64992) ⇒ divide both sides by 93.64992
∴ a1 = 945.6494998 ≅ 945.65
* The value of a1 = 945.65
Connie has to solve the following problem
5 boxes of cereal costs $12.50. How much will 18 boxes cost
Choose EVERY proportion Connie could use to solve this problem
Answer:
$45
Step-by-step explanation:
$12.50÷5=$2.50
$2.50×18=$45
or
12.50/5=n/18
Answer: Cost of 18 boxes is $45.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that
Cost of 5 boxes of cereal = $12.50
We will use "Unitary method":
Cost of 1 box of cereal is given by
[tex]\dfrac{12.50}{5}\\\\=\$2.5[/tex]
So, Cost of 18 boxes would be
[tex]\$2.5\times 18\\\\=\$45[/tex]
Hence, cost of 18 boxes is $45.
17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x
Answer:
x = 22/15
Step-by-step explanation:
17x - 6 + 3x - 5 = x + 11 + 4x
Combine like terms on each side.
20x - 11 = 5x + 11
Add 11 to both sides. Subtract 5x from both sides.
15x = 22
Divide both sides by 15.
x = 22/15
Answer: 20x-11=5x+11

which graph shows the solution set for 2x+3>-9.
Answer:
x > -6
The solution above is graphed correctly in the last option choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the equation 2x + 3> -9
In order to graph the solution, we must find the value of x
2x + 3 > -9
Subtract three from both sides
-9 - 3 = -12
2x > -12
Divide both sides by 2
x > -6
To determine how to graph the solution, look at the inequality symbol. If the symbol is "greater than" then you would graph the line going left. If it was "less than" than you would graph the line going right.
In our problem, we have the "greater than" symbol which means we will be graphing our line going to the right, and since we start our line from -6 we know the last option is the correct answer.

Answer:
A. The slope is 4.
B. The y-intercept is 8.
C. The equation is y = 4x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is a flat $8 cost in addition to $4 per ride. We can express this by using:
y = 8 + 4x.
y is the total cost
x is the number of rides
The question wants the equation in slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
y = 8 + 4x ➵ y = 4x + 8
Now that we have the slope-intercept form of the line, we can answer the problems.
A. The slope is 4.
B. The y-intercept is 8.
C. The equation is y = 4x + 8
In the diagram, C and D are located such that AB is divided into three equal parts. What are the coordinates of C and D?
Step-by-step Answer:
Topic: Points of division
There are scary looking formulas that can be used, but it is much easier to calculate by reasoning.
Given : A(-3,6), B(6,-3)
Solution:
The idea is to subdivide the DIFFERENCE in coordinates into thirds, and add onto that of A. We choose A as the starting point, but method works equally well if we chose B.
Difference in coordinates (delta) between A & B is then
delta(Bx-Ax, By-Ay)
=(6-(-3), -3-6)
=delta(9, -9)
One third of difference (for point C)
=delta/3 = (3,-3)
So coordinates of point C
= A(-3,6)+(3,-3)
= C(0,3)
Two thirds of difference (for point D)
= (2/3)delta = (6, -6)
Coordinates for point D
= A(-3,6)+(6,-6)
= D(3,0)
If you prefer to use formulas, it would be
New coordinates = (Xa+(Xb-Xa)*k, Ya+(Yb-Ya)*k)
where
Xa,Xb = x-coordinates of points A & B respectively.
Ya,Yb = y-coordinates of points A & B respectively.
k=ratio (usually less than 1)
Here
k for point C = 1/3
k for point D = 2/3
Coordinate of C is: (0,3)
and Coordinate of D is: (3,0)
Step-by-step explanation:We know that if a point C(x,y) divides the given line segment A(a,b)B(c,d) into ratio of m:n
then the coordinates of points C are:
[tex]x=\dfrac{m\times c+n\times a}{m+n},\ y=\dfrac{m\times d+n\times b}{m+n}[/tex]
Point C cuts the line segment AB in the ratio 1:2.Here A(a,b)=A(-3,6)
and B(c,d)=B(6,-3)
This means that the coordinate of Point C are:
[tex]x=\dfrac{1\times 6+2\times (-3)}{1+2},\ y=\dfrac{1\times (-3)+2\times 6}{1+2}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{6-6}{3},\ y=\dfrac{-3+12}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=0,\ y=\dfrac{9}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=0,\ y=3[/tex]
Hence, the coordinates of Point C are: (0,3)
Similarly Point D cuts the line AB in the ratio 2:1Hence, the coordinates of point D is calculated by:
[tex]x=\dfrac{2\times (6)+1\times (-3)}{1+2},\ y=\dfrac{2\times (-3)+1\times 6}{1+2}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{12-3}{3},\ and\ y=\dfrac{-6+6}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{3},\ y=\dfrac{0}{3}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=3,\ y=0[/tex]
Hence, the coordinate of Point D is: (3,0)

a. What is the average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.
Answer:
4.5 mg per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi, take the caffeine and divide by the ounces
54 mg/12 ounces
4.5 mg per ounce
Answer:
The average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi is 4.5 gm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :A 12-ounce Pepsi contains 54 mg of caffeine
To Find : What is the average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.
Solution :
A 12-ounce Pepsi contains 54 mg of caffeine.
We are supposed to find the average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi
Amount of caffeine in 12 ounces of Pepsi = 54 mg
Amount of caffeine in 1 ounce of Pepsi = [tex]\frac{54}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]4.5[/tex]
Hence the average caffeine content per ounce of Pepsi is 4.5 gm
Identify the similar triangles and find x. Then find the measures of the indicated sides.
Answer:
The similar triangles are Δ KMJ and Δ NML
The value of x is 3
KM = 6 and NM = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the cases of similarity
1) AAA similarity : two triangles are similar if all three angles in the first
triangle equal the corresponding angle in the second triangle
- Example : In ΔABC and ΔDEF, m∠A = m∠D, m∠B = m∠E and
m∠C= m∠F then ΔABC ≈ ΔDEF by AAA
2) AA similarity : If two angles of one triangle are equal to the
corresponding angles of the other triangle, then the two triangles
are similar.
- Example : In ΔPQR and ΔDEF, m∠P = m∠D, m∠R = m∠F then
ΔPQR ≈ ΔDEF by AA
3) SSS similarity : If the corresponding sides of two triangles are
proportional, then the two triangles are similar.
- Example : In ΔXYZ and ΔLMN, if
then the two triangles are similar by SSS
4) SAS similarity : In two triangles, if two sets of corresponding sides
are proportional and the included angles are equal then the two
triangles are similar.
- Example : In triangle ABC and DEF, if m∠A = m∠D and
then the two triangles are similar by SAS
* Now lets solve the problem
- ∠KMJ is a aright angle and M is on JL
∴ m∠JML = 180° ⇒ straight angle
∵ m∠JMK + m∠LMN = m∠JML
∴ 90° + m∠NML = 180° ⇒ subtract 90° from both sides
∴ m∠NML = 90°
- In Δ KMJ and ΔNML
∵ m∠KMJ = m∠NML ⇒ proved
∵ m∠KJM = m∠NLM ⇒ given
- By using the second case above (AA similarity)
∴ Δ KMJ ≈ Δ NML
* The similar triangles are Δ KMJ and Δ NML
- From similarity
∴ Their sides are proportion
∴ [tex]\frac{KM}{NM}=\frac{MJ}{ML}=\frac{KJ}{NL}[/tex]
∵ KJ = 10 and NL = 5
∵ KM = 3 + x and NM = x
- Substitute these values in the proportion relation
∵ [tex]\frac{KM}{NM}=\frac{KJ}{NL}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{3+x}{x}=\frac{10}{5}[/tex]
- By using cross multiplication
∴ 5(3 + x) = 10(x) ⇒ simplify
∴ 5(3) + 5(x) = 10x
∴ 15 + 5x = 10x ⇒ subtract 5x from both sides
∴ 15 = 5x ⇒ divide both sides by 5
∴ 3 = x
* The value of x is 3
∵ KM = 3 + x
∵ x = 3
∴ KM = 3 + 3 = 6
∵ NM = x
∴ NM = 3
* KM = 6 and NM = 3
- Check the ratio
∵ KM/NM = 6/3 = 2
∵ KJ/NL = 10/5 = 2
∴ The sides are proportion
Answer:
Triangle JMK is similar to triangle LMN.
[tex]x = 3[/tex].
[tex]\rm \overline{KM}= 6[/tex].
[tex]\rm \overline{NM} = 3[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle [tex]\rm N\hat{M}L[/tex] is a right angle for it is complementary with another right angle, [tex]\rm K\hat{M}J[/tex].
The diagram also indicates that angle [tex]\rm \hat{J}[/tex] is equal to angle [tex]\rm \hat{L}[/tex]. As a result, [tex]\rm \triangle JMK \sim \triangle LMN[/tex] for two of their angles are equal.
Consequently,
[tex]\displaystyle \rm \frac{(\overline{MN})}{(\overline{MK})} = \frac{(\overline{LN})}{(\overline{JK})}[/tex].
Let [tex]x[/tex] be the length of segment [tex]\rm MN[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{3+x} = \frac{5}{10}[/tex].
Cross multiply. In other words, multiply both sides by [tex]10(3 + x)[/tex].
[tex]10x = 5(3 + x)[/tex].
[tex]x = 3[/tex].
[tex]\rm \overline{KM} = 3 + \mathnormal{x} = 6[/tex].
[tex]\rm \overline{MN} = \mathnormal{x} = 3[/tex].
