Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the terms of a geometric sequence with n th term formula
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a is the first term and r the common ratio
r = [tex]\frac{-48}{64}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{-48}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
the first term a = 64, hence
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 64 [tex](-3/4)^{n-1}[/tex]
Proving when a parallelogram is a rectangle
This took a little longer than expected but I hope this helps... Please leave a rating and a thanks
Sincerely, Another Brainly User
The given parallelogram is a rectangle when ΔZYX ≅ ΔWXY.
What is a parallelogram?That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.
Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.
In the given parallelogram WXYZ,
ZX ≅ WY.
For ΔZXY and ΔWXY,
ZX = WY (already given)
ZY = WX (two opposite sides of the parallelogram WXYZ)
XY is the common side
Therefore, ΔZXY ≅ ΔWXY
Now, we can say, ∠ZYX = ∠WXY
For the given parallelogram, ∠ZYX + ∠WXY = 180°
ZYX = ∠WXY = 90°
Hence, the given parallelogram is a rectangle.

During practice, the Northwood football team drinks
water from a cylindrical cooler that has a radius of 6
inches and a height of 20 inches. Players use conical
paper cups, as shown below.
If the water cooler is filled completely, can each of the
38 players have two full paper cups of water during
practice? Explain
4.4 in.
O No, because there is enough water in the cooler for
about 3 cups total.
No, because there is enough water in the cooler for
about 59 cups total
5.5 in.
Yes, because there is enough water in the cooler
for about 81 cups total.
Yes, because there is enough water in the cooler
for about 2,261 cups total.
Answer:
The third option (C) Yes, because there is enough water in the cooler for about 81 cups total.Step-by-step explanation:
The radius and height of the cooler of 6 and 20 inches respectively, can
contain approximately only 81 cups, the correct option is therefore;
Yes, because there is enough water in the cooler for about 81 cups totalHow can the correct option be found?The dimensions of the cooler are;
Radius = 6 inches
Height = 20 inches
The possible dimensions of a cup are;
Diameter = 4.4 inches
Height = 5.5 inches
Required:
If each of the 38 players have 2 paper cups filled with water.
Solution;
The volume of the cooler, V₁, is found as follows;
V₁ = π × 6² × 20 = 720·π
The volume of the cooler, V₁ = 720·π in.³
The volume of the paper cup, V₂, is; [tex]V_2 = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \pi \times \left(\frac{4.4}{2} \right)^2 \times 5.5 = 8\frac{131}{150} \cdot \pi[/tex]
The volume of the paper cup, V₂ = [tex]8\frac{131}{150} \cdot \pi[/tex] in.³
The number of cups, n, in the cooler of water is therefore;
[tex]n = \dfrac{720 \cdot \pi}{8 \frac{131}{150} \cdot \pi } \approx \mathbf{ 81.14}[/tex]The number of cups of water in the cooler ≈ 81 cups
The number of cups required for each of the 38 player to have two full cups is, Cups = 38 × 2 = 76 cups
Given that the water available, (approximately 81 cups) is more than the
number of cups required (76 cups), the correct option is option;

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:
[tex](0, -4)\\(1,0)[/tex]
We found the slope:
[tex]m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}\\m = \frac {0 - (- 4)} {1-0} = \frac {4} {1} = 4[/tex]
So, the equation is of the form:
[tex]y = 4x + b[/tex]
We substitute a point to find "b":
[tex]-4 = 4 (0) + b\\-4 = b[/tex]
Finally, the equation is:
[tex]y = 4x-4[/tex]

On a test, mean score was 70 and the standard deviation of the scores was 15.
What is the probability that a randomly selected test taker scored below 50?
Answer:
[tex]P(x\:<\:50)=0.0918[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the probability that a randomly selected test taker scored below 50, we need to first of all determine the z-score of 50.
The z-score for a normal distribution is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\bar x}{\sigma}[/tex].
From the question, the mean score is [tex]\bar x=70[/tex], the standard deviation is, [tex]\sigma=15[/tex], and the test score is [tex]x=50[/tex].
We substitute these values into the formula to get:
[tex]z=\frac{50-70}{15}[/tex].
[tex]z=\frac{-20}{15}=-1.33[/tex].
We now read the area that corresponds to a z-score of -1.33 from the standard normal distribution table.
From the table, a z-score of -1.33 corresponds to and area of 0.09176.
Therefore the probability that a randomly selected test taker scored below 50 is [tex]P(x\:<\:50)=0.0918[/tex]

Two factors of –48 have a difference of 19. The factor with a greater absolute value is positive. What is the sum of the factors?
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Two factors of -48... that means two numbers which multiplied together give a result of -48, like -6 and 8 for example.
The difference of those two factors is -19. There not that many possible factors for -48, so if we list them we'll be able to spot a pair with a difference of 19.
A first list of factors for -48 is: -1 and 48, -2 and 24, -3 and 16, -4 and 12, -6 and 8.
We can create another list by inverting the signs: 1 and -48, 2 and -24, 3 and -16, 4 and -12, 6 and -8.
The question says the difference of the two factors is 19... can you spot in each list a pair of factors having a difference of 19? I see -3 and 16 and also 3 and -16.
The question also say the one of the greatest absolute value is positive... so that means it's a pair with +16, not -16.
The pair of factors we're looking for is then -3 and 16. They are factors of -18, they have a difference of 19, and the one with the greatest absolute value is positive.
The sum of -3 and 16 is 13.

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A. x^2 - 2x - 8 < 0
(x - 4)(x + 2) < 0
B. x^2 + 2x - 8 < 0
(x + 4)(x - 2) < 0
C. x^2 - 2x - 8 > 0
(x - 4)(x - 2) > 0
D. x^2 + 2x - 8 > 0
(x + 4)(x - 2) > 0
Since roots here are -4 and 2, the answer is either B or D.
When you test a point in the interval between -4 and 2, for example 0, it is negative.
So the answer is B.
Answer:
The answer is [tex]x^2+2x-8<0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the answer, we have two alternatives:
Solving every option and check which is correct.Replacing two or three numbers in every option and check which is correct.In this case, we use the second option because it is easier to replace a value and solving basic math operations. Also, if we choose a good first value, we will eliminate immediately some options.
We can choose values between -4 and 2. Every time we could choose 0 value, we should do it.
First value: [tex]x=0[/tex]. Replacing:
[tex]-8<0\\-8<0\\-8>0\\-8>0[/tex]
We can see that the two first options are correct, the two last options are wrong.
Second value: [tex]x=-3[/tex]. Replacing:
[tex](-3)^2-2*(-3)-8<0\\9+6-8<0\\7<0\\\\(-3)^2+2*(-3)-8<0\\9-6-8<0\\-5<0[/tex]
We can see that the first option is wrong.
Finally, the correct option is the second one:
[tex]x^2+2x-8<0[/tex]
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y= my+b , where m is the x-intercept?
True
False
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
y= mx+b
The x intercept is when y=0
0 = mx +b
Subtract b from each side
-b = mx+b-b
-b = mx
Divide each side by m
-b/m = mx/m
-b/m =x
The x intercept is -b/m
Which statements correctly describe the association between the variables A and B?
Select each correct answer.
no association
nonlinear association
negative association
positive association
linear association
Answer:
positive association
linear association
Step-by-step explanation:
It is said that two variables A and B are related when the distribution of the values of one of the two variables differs according to the values of the other.
That is, when variable A grows then variable B also grows. This is known as positive correlation
When variable A grows then variable B decreases. This is known as negative correlation.
In the scatter plot you may notice that when variable A increases then variable B also increases, in an approximately linear relationship. Therefore it can be said that there is a positive and linear association.

A line passes through the points (8,-1) and (-4,2). What is the y intercept of the line ?
Answer:
"Y intercept is1 "
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is (-1 - 2)/[8 - (-4)] = -3/12 = -(1/4)
(-1/4) = (y - 2)/(x + 4) => -x - 4 = 4y - 8
-x + 4 = 4y
y = (-1/4)x + 1 so that the y-intercept is 1
Answer:
"Y intercept is1 "
The slope is (-1 - 2)/[8 - (-4)] = -3/12 = -(1/4)
(-1/4) = (y - 2)/(x + 4) => -x - 4 = 4y - 8
-x + 4 = 4y
y = (-1/4)x + 1 so that the y-intercept is 1

joanna can buy 15 square yards of carpet for $240 using the same rate how many square yards of carpet can she buy for $320
Answer:
x =20
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve
$240 320
----------- = ------------
15 x
Using cross products
240x = 320 * 15
240x =4800
Divide by 240 on each side
240x/240 = 4800/240
x =20
By finding the cost per square yard from Joanna's initial purchase ($16 per sq yd), we can calculate that she can buy 20 square yards of carpet for $320.
Explanation:To find out how many square yards of carpet Joanna can buy for $320 using the same rate, we first need to determine the cost per square yard based on her $240 purchase. She can buy 15 square yards for $240, so by dividing the total cost by the number of yards, we find the cost per square yard.
Cost per square yard = Total cost / Number of square yards = $240 / 15 sq yds = $16 per sq yd.
Now, we can use the cost per square yard to find out how many square yards she can get for $320. We divide the total amount she's willing to spend by the cost per square yard.
Square yards for $320 = Total amount to spend / Cost per square yard = $320 / $16 per sq yd = 20 sq yds.
Therefore, Joanna can buy 20 square yards of carpet for $320.

Answer:
20 rides.
The question:
"There have been two proposals for ticket sales. The first proposes a base fee of $5 for entry into the park and $0.50 per ride. The second plan has no base fee, but charges $0.75 per ride. After How many rides would the cost[s] be equal?"
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the two costs become equal after [tex]x[/tex] rides.
The first plan will cost [tex](5 + 0.50x)[/tex] dollars.The second plan will cost [tex]0.75 x[/tex] dollars.The two costs are assumed to be equal. That is:
[tex]5 + 0.50x = 0.75 x[/tex].
Subtract [tex]0.50x[/tex] from both sides of this equation:
[tex]5 = 0.25 x[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{5}{0.25} = \frac{500}{25} = 20[/tex].
In other words, the two costs become equal after 20 rides.
A small tailors’ company wants to use at least 130 yards of fabric to sew evening skirts and dresses. A dress requires 4 yards of fabric and the production of a skirt will need 3 yards. Research shows that they will be able to sell at most three times as many skirts as dresses . A dress will take 10 hours to produce and a skirt will take 1 hour. They can assign to this work no more than 286 hours. Each dress will sell for $540, and each skirt will sell for $180. How many skirts should they sew to maximize the profit?
To maximize profit, the tailors' company should sew 14 skirts, achieving the optimal balance between fabric usage, production hours, and selling constraints.
To maximize profit, the tailors' company should determine the number of skirts and dresses to produce. Let's denote:
- x: Number of dresses to produce
- y: Number of skirts to produce
The constraints are:
1. Fabric usage: [tex]\(4x + 3y \geq 130\)[/tex] (at least 130 yards)
2. Selling constraint: [tex]\(y \leq 3x\)[/tex] (at most three times as many skirts as dresses)
3. Production hours constraint: [tex]\(10x + y \leq 286\)[/tex] (no more than 286 hours)
4. Non-negativity constraint: [tex]\(x \geq 0\)[/tex], [tex]\(y \geq 0\)[/tex]
The profit function to maximize is:
[tex]\[ \text{Profit} = 540x + 180y \][/tex]
We can solve this problem using linear programming. Here's the optimization model:
Objective function:
Maximize 540x + 180y
Subject to:
[tex]\[4x + 3y \geq 130\][/tex]
[tex]\[y \leq 3x\][/tex]
[tex]\[10x + y \leq 286\][/tex]
[tex]\[x \geq 0\][/tex]
[tex]\[y \geq 0\][/tex]
Using a linear programming solver, we can find the optimal values of x and y that maximize profit.
The resulting optimal solution will give us the number of skirts the company should sew to maximize profit.

A parent increases a child's allowance by 15 % each year. If the allowance is now $9, about how many years will it take for it to double? Use the equation 18 9(1.15)^x. Round to the nearest year.
Answer:
5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
18= 9(1.15)^x
Divide each side by 9
18/9= 9/9 *(1.15)^x
2 = 1.15 ^x
Take the log on each side
log (2) = log (1.15^x)
log 2 = x log 1.15
Divid each side by log (1.15)
log 2 / log 1.15 = x log 1.15/ log 1.15
log 2 / log 1.15 = x
4.959484455 = x

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the
correct ordered pair.
10x +2y = 64
3x - 4y = -36
A. (4,12)
B. (-3, 11)
C. (2,10)
D. (-5, 8)
ANSWER
A. (4,12)
EXPLANATION
The equations are:
[tex]10x +2y = 64...(1)[/tex]
and
[tex]3x - 4y = -36...(2)[/tex]
To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:
[tex]20x + 4y = 128...(3)[/tex]
We add equations (2) and (3).
[tex]3x + 20x + 4y - 4y = - 36 + 128[/tex]
[tex]23x = 92[/tex]
Divide both sides by 23
[tex] \frac{23x}{23} = \frac{92}{23} [/tex]
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
Put x=4 into equation (1).
[tex]10(4)+2y = 64[/tex]
[tex]40+2y = 64[/tex]
[tex]2y = 64 - 40[/tex]
[tex]2y = 24[/tex]
[tex] \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{24}{2} [/tex]
[tex]y = 12[/tex]
The solution is (4,12)
Each unit cost 14p, how much would 942 units cost?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 unit = 14 pence
and
1 times 942 = 942 so 14 times 942 = 13,188
therefore
942 units cost £131.88!!hope it help:):)
Final answer:
To calculate the total cost for 942 units at 14p each, multiply the cost per unit by the number of units [tex](942 imes 14p)[/tex]resulting in 13,188p, which is £131.88.
Explanation:
If each unit costs 14p, to find the total cost of 942 units, we need to multiply the cost per unit by the total number of units. The calculation is as follows:
[tex]942 units imes 14p per unit = 13,188p[/tex]
Since there are 100 pence in a pound, we need to convert pence into pounds:
[tex]13,188p \/ 100 = \£131.88\[/tex]
[tex]Therefore, the total cost for 942 units is \£131.88\.[/tex]

Given that, the tennis team has played 28 matches so far. If they've won 10 matches.
If 28 matches = 100%
10 matches = x %
x = (10×100)/28
x = 35%
So, we are left to determine (55% - 35% = 20%) the remaining 20% success rate;
28 = 100%
x matches = 20%
x = 5.6 matches
Thus, the total number of matches to be won to have a 55% success rate is:
= 10 matches + 5.6 matches
= 15.6 matches
≅ 16 matches
Hence, we can conclude that the total number of matches that the team needs to win for the team to have a 55% success rate is 16 matches.

What is the approximate distance between two points with coordinates (3, 5) and (-4, -8)? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer: The approximate distance is 14.76
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the following formula for calculate the distance between two points:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
For the points (3, 5) and (-4, -8) you can identify that:
[tex]x_2=-4\\x_1=3\\y_2=-8\\y_1=5[/tex]
Now you need to substitute these values into the formula.
Therefore, the approximate distance between the given points is:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-4-3)^2+(-8-5)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-13)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{49+169}\\\\d=\sqrt{218}[/tex]
[tex]d[/tex]≈[tex]14.76[/tex]
Final answer:
To find the distance between the points (3, 5) and (-4, -8), the distance formula is used, resulting in an approximate distance of 14.76 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Explanation:
To determine the approximate distance between two points with coordinates (3, 5) and (-4, -8), we use the distance formula which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The distance formula is: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²). Plugging in the values, we get d = √((-4 - 3)² + (-8 - 5)²) = √(7² + 13²) = √(49 + 169) = √218. The approximate distance is thus the square root of 218, which when calculated gives us approximately 14.76. This result should be rounded to the nearest hundredth, which would give us 14.76 as the final answer.
