Answer:

  78

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the sum of two 2-digit numbers such that one differs from the other by a multiple of 10, and the difference of their squares is 2340.

The difference of squares is the product of the sum and difference of the two numbers. Here, the difference must be a multiple of 10, so we want factorizations of 2340 that have a multiple of 10 as a factor. These are ...

  2340 = 10(234) = 20(117) = 30(78)

where the first factor (the difference) is less than the second factor (the sum).

The sum of two 2-digit numbers cannot be more than 200, and it must be even if they both have the same units digit. The only viable product from the above list is 30 × 78, where 30 is the difference of the numbers and 78 is their sum.

The sum of the numbers is 78.

Additional comment

The two numbers are 54 and 24. The difference of their squares is ...

  2916 -576 = 2340

Difference of squares: a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b).

Final answer:

Rosa saves 30% of her weekly earnings for college, which is calculated by dividing the amount saved ($36) by her total weekly earnings ($120) and then multiplying by 100%.

Explanation:

To determine the percentage of her earnings that Rosa saves, we will use the formula for calculating percentage: Percentage saved = (Amount saved ÷ Total earnings) × 100%.

First, we identify the total earnings and the amount saved: Rosa's total weekly earnings are $120, and she saves $36 each week.

Next, we calculate the percentage: Percentage saved = ($36 ÷ $120) × 100% = 0.3 × 100% = 30%.

Therefore, Rosa saves 30% of her weekly earnings for college.

Probability so see one falling star over half an hour is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour can be taken as two half hours so we can write the probability to see a falling star as

(1-P)*(1-P) = 1 - 0.44

( 1 - P )² = 0.56

1 - P = [tex]\sqrt{0.56}[/tex]

Given that

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have that

K = hc/λ - Φ

K = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js × 3 × 10⁸ m/s)/235 × 10⁻⁹ m - 7.77 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

K = (19.89 × 10⁻²⁶ Jm)/235 × 10⁻⁹ m - 7.77 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Answer: Paul is 18 years old and Gary is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of Paul.

Paul is six years older than Gary. This means that Gary's age would be

x - 6

The sum of their ages is 30. This means that

x + x - 6 = 30

2x - 6 = 30

Adding 6 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x - 6 + 6 = 30 + 6

2x = 36

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

2x/2 = 36/2

x = 18

Therefore, Paul is 18 years old.

Gary is 18 - 6 = 12 years old.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use calculus to solve this, because it's the simplest way.  

The acceleration due to gravity in feet is the second derivative of the position function.  We will start with the acceleration and work backwards with antiderivatives to get to the position function.

a(t) = -32.  Going backwards and using the fact that the initial vertical velocity is 64 ft/sec, our velocity function is

v(t) = -32t + 64.  Going backwards and using the fact that the initial height of the ball is 6 feet, our position function is

[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+64t+6[/tex]

The first part of this question asks us the maximum height of the ball.  From Physics, we learn that the maximum height of a projectile is reached when the velocity is 0, which happens to be right where the projectile stops for a nanosecond in the air to turn around and come back down.  We set the velocity function equal to 0 and solve for t.

0 = -32t + 64 and

0 = -32(t - 2).  By the Zero Product Property, either -32 = 0 or t - 2 = 0.  It's obvious that -32 does not equal 0, so t - 2 must equal 0.  Solving this for t:

t - 2 = 0 so

t = 2 seconds.  Since the maximum height is reached at a time of 2 seconds, we plug 2 seconds into the position function to get its position at 2 seconds (which is also the max height of the ball).

[tex]s(2)=-16(2)^2+64(2)+6[/tex] and

s(2) = -64 + 128 + 6 so

s(2) = 70 feet

Now we want to know when the ball will hit the ground.  "When" is a time value, and we know that the height of the ball on the ground is 0, so we sub in a 0 for s(t) and factor the quadratic.

Using the quadratic formula:

[tex]t=\frac{-64+/-\sqrt{4096-4(-16)(6)} }{-32}[/tex] and

[tex]t=\frac{-64+/-\sqrt{4480} }{-32}[/tex] which gives us the 2 solutions

[tex]t=\frac{-64+\sqrt{4480} }{-32}[/tex] and

[tex]t=\frac{-64-\sqrt{4480} }{-32}[/tex]

Plugging into your calculator, the first t = -.0916500 and the second t = 4.091

We all know that time cannot ever be negative, so our t value is 4.09.

Again, from Physics, we know that a projectile reaches it max height at halfway through its travels, so it just goes to follow logically that if it halfway through its travels at 2 seconds, then it will hit the ground at 4 seconds.  And it does!! How awesome is that?!

The maximum height of the ball is 32 feet. The ball will hit the ground after 4 seconds.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we can use the equation for motion under constant acceleration.

The equation is h = (v0^2)/(2g),

where h is the maximum height, v0 is the initial vertical velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Plugging in the given values, we have h = (64^2)/(2*32), which gives us a maximum height of 32 feet.

Next, to find when the ball will hit the ground, we can use the equation for time of flight.

The equation is t = (2v0)/g, where t is the time of flight.

Plugging in the given values, we have t = (2*64)/32, which gives us a time of flight of 4 seconds.

Answer:

20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

I = PRT

300 = 3000*R * 0.5

300 =  1500R

R = 300 / 1500

R =  3/15 = 1/5

As a percentage it is  100 * 1/5

= 20%.

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that in this problem we're asked to find the interest rate not the interest so our answer will be a percent rate of interest.

Let's start this problem by writing the interest formula shown below.

Interest = principal · rate · time

Now we fill in the formula.

The interest earned is $300 so we substitute 300 into the formula.

The principal is the amount invested or $3,000.

We don't know the rate so we can use the variable r.

The time is 0.5 which is equivalent to 1/2

so we can substitute 1/2 in for t.

So we have the equation 300 = (3,000)(r)(1/2).

Simplifying on the right side of the equation, 3,000 · 1/2 is 1,500.

So we have 300 = 1,500r

Now to solve for r since r is being multiplied by 1,500, we need to divide by 1,500 on both side of the equation.

On the right side of the equation, the 1,500's cancel and we have r and on the left side of the equation we have 300 divided by 1,500 or 0.2.

This means that 0.2 = r.

Remember however that the interest rate is a percent so we need to change our decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 20%. So the interest rate is 20%.

Answer: The system of equations required is

x + y = 20

40x + 70y = 1220

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes of paper shipped and

Let y represent the number of large boxes of paper shipped.

A total of 20 boxes of paper were shipped. This is expressed as

x + y = 20

Each small box of paper weighs 40 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 70 pounds. The total weight of the large and small boxes of paper that were shipped is 1220 pounds altogether. This is expressed as

40x + 70y = 1220

We define x as the number of small boxes and y as the number of large boxes. The first equation, x + y = 20, is based on the total number of boxes. The second equation, 40x + 70y = 1220, is based on the total weight of the boxes.

We need to find a system of equations that represents the given situation. We will use two variables. Let's say x represents the number of small boxes and y represents the number of large boxes for your problem.

The first equation can be based on the total number of boxes, which is 20. So, the equation is: x + y = 20.

The second equation will be based on the total weight of the boxes, which is 1220 pounds. A small box weighs 40 pounds and a large box weighs 70 pounds. So, the equation will be: 40x + 70y = 1220.

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 miles.

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

y = 3 inches.

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

2.5 pounds pounds of sulfur and 1 pound of lead should be removed each day in order to minimize net cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given model of cost:

[tex]C(x, y) = 7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2[/tex]

Government clean-air subsidies amount for sulfur = 500 $/pound

Government clean-air subsidies amount for lead = 100 $/pound

Subsidies amount for x pounds of sulfur = x500 $

Subsidies amount for y pounds of lead= y100 $

Model of subsidy amount :

[tex]S(x,y)=500x+100y[/tex]

Net cost(N) = Cost - Subsidy = C(x,y)-S(x,y)

[tex]N=7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2-500x-100y[/tex]..[1]

Differentiating above [1] in with respect to dx :

[tex]\frac{dN}{dx}=\frac{7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2-500x-100y}{dx}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dN}{dx}=200x-500[/tex]..[2]

Putting [tex]\frac{dN}{dx}=0[/tex]:

[tex]0=200x-500[/tex]

x = 2.5

Now taking second derivative of [2]:

[tex]\frac{d^N}{dx^2}=200[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d^N}{dx^2}>0[/tex] (minima)

Differentiating above [1] in with respect to dy :

[tex]\frac{dN}{dy}=\frac{7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2-500x-100y}{dy}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dN}{dy}=100y-100[/tex]..[3]

Putting [tex]\frac{dN}{dy}=0[/tex]:

[tex]0=100y-100[/tex]

y = 1

Now taking second derivative of [3]:

[tex]\frac{d^N}{dy^2}=100[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d^N}{dy^2}>0[/tex] (minima)

2.5 pounds pounds of sulfur and 1 pound of lead should be removed each day in order to minimize net cost.

The amounts of sulfur and lead the firm should remove are 2.5 pounds and 1 pound respectively to minimize the net cost.

Given to us

cost of controlling emissions, C(x, y) = 7,000 + 100x² + 50y²

amount to $500 per pound of sulfur

$100 per pound of lead removed

We know that the net cost can be written as,

T(x, y) = 7,000 + 100x² + 50y² -500x -100y

where x and y is the amount of sulfur and lead emission reduced respectively.

To find the minimum of x differentiate the value of net cost with respect to x,

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dx} = \dfrac{ 7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2 -500x -100y}{dx}[/tex]

    [tex]= \dfrac{ 7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2 -500x -100y}{dx}\\\\= 0+ 100(2x) + 0 + 500 + 0\\\\ = 200x+500[/tex]

Substitute against 0, to get the minimum value of x,

0 = 200x+500

x = 2.5

Differentiate again,

[tex]\dfrac{d^2T}{dx^2} = \dfrac{d(200x+500)}{dx}[/tex]

      [tex]=200+0[/tex]

As the value of differentiation is positive, therefore, the slope of the function will be going towards the positive.

To find the minimum of y differentiate the net cost with respect to y,

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dy} = \dfrac{ 7,000 + 100x^2 + 50y^2 -500x -100y}{dy}[/tex]

     [tex]= 0+0+50(2y)-100\\\\=100y-100\\\\=100(y-1)[/tex]

Substitute against 0 to get the minimum value of y,

0 = 100(y-1)

y = 1

Differentiate again,

[tex]\dfrac{d^2T}{dy^2} = \dfrac{d(100y-100)}{dy}[/tex]

       [tex]=100[/tex]

As the value of differentiation is positive, therefore, the slope of the function will be going towards the positive.

A yard of lace costs w cents a yard and fabric costs $.40 more than the lace. This means that the cost of a yard of fabric would be

w + 0.5

Kimberly wants to buy one yard of lace and 2 yards of fabric. This means that the total amount of money that she would have to pay for the lace is is

0.4 × 1 = 0.40

Amount that she would spend on the fabric is 2(w + 0.5) = 2w + 1

Total cost would be

0.4 + 2w + 1

Final answer:

Kimberly will need a total of 3w + 80 cents to purchase one yard of lace and two yards of fabric, where w is the cost of one yard of lace in cents.

Explanation:

To calculate how much money Kimberly will need to buy one yard of lace and two yards of fabric, first we identify the cost of one yard of lace as w cents. The fabric costs $0.40 more than the lace per yard, so the cost of one yard of fabric is w cents + 40 cents. Kimberly wants to buy two yards of fabric, so we multiply the cost of one yard of fabric by 2, which gives us 2(w + 40) cents.

Adding together the cost of the lace and the two yards of fabric, we get: w + 2(w + 40). Simplifying this expression, we have: w (cost of one yard of lace) + 2w (twice the cost of lace per yard for two yards of fabric) + 80 (twice the additional cost of fabric per yard)

w + 2w + 80 cents

3w + 80 cents

Therefore, Kimberly will need a total of 3w + 80 cents to purchase one yard of lace and two yards of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the age of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(37.5,6.2)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=37.5[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=6.2[/tex]

We are interested on this probability:

[tex] P(X>45 | X>40)= \frac{P(X>45 \cap X>40)}{P(X>40)}= \frac{P(X>45)}{P(X>40)}[/tex]

We can begin finding [tex] P(X>40)[/tex] using the z score formula given by:

[tex] z = \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Using this formula we have:

[tex] P(X>40)= P(Z>\frac{40-37.5}{6.2}) = P(Z>0.403)[/tex]

And using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel we have this:

[tex]P(Z>0.403)=1-P(Z<0.403)= 1-0.657= 0.343[/tex]

Now we can find [tex] P(X>45)[/tex] using the z score formula given by:

[tex] z = \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Using this formula we have:

[tex] P(X>45)= P(Z>\frac{45-37.5}{6.2}) = P(Z>1.210)[/tex]

And using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel we have this:

[tex]P(Z>1.210)=1-P(Z<1.210)= 1-0.887= 0.113[/tex]

And replacing into our original probability we got:

[tex] P(X>45 | X>40)= \frac{P(X>45 \cap X>40)}{P(X>40)}= \frac{P(X>45)}{P(X>40)}= \frac{0.113}{0.343}= 0.329[/tex]

Answer: m= $25/10 r

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m= money

r= raffle ticket

Then according to the statement

m= $25 for 10 tickets

so 10 tickets= $25

Or the equation goes,

m= $25/10 r

The average rate of change for the function over the interval 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 is 2.

The average rate of change for a function can be calculated by finding the difference in the function values over the given interval and dividing it by the difference in the x-values over the same interval.

For the given function graphed, the average rate of change over the interval 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 is calculated as follows:
Average rate of change = (f(3) - f(1)) / (3 - 1)

By evaluating the function at x = 1 and x = 3 and applying the formula, we find:
Average rate of change = (6 - 2) / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2

Therefore, the BEST estimate of the average rate of change for the function over the interval 1 ≤ x ≤ 3 is 2 (option A).

Answer:

The answer to your question is the probability to select a yogurt of raspberry is 1/4 or 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Number of cartons = 12

Number of cartons of raspberry = 3

To solve this problem, just use the formula of probability and simplify it to get the result.

Formula

P(A) = [tex]\frac{Number of favorable outcomes to A}{Total number of outcomes}[/tex]

Substitution

P(A) = 3/12

Simplification

P(A) = 1/4 or 25%

n = the number of miles traveled

0.75n + 1.75 ≤ 20     Option D

[costs $0.75 for each additional mile (n) plus $1.75 for the first mile less than or equal to $20 (because you have a maximum of $20 and you can't spend more than that)]

The inequality to determine the number of additional miles you can travel with $20, considering a base fare of $1.75 and $0.75 per additional mile, is 0.75n + 1.75 ≤ 20.

The subject of this question is to determine which inequality represents the situation of a taxi cab fare and how many miles can be traveled with $20 given the cost per mile. The correct inequality is the one that starts with the base fare and adds the cost for each additional mile multiplied by the number of miles. The base fare is $1.75 for the first mile and there is an additional cost of $0.75 for each additional mile.

Let n represent the number of additional miles you can travel. Since you have $20, the inequality to find out how many miles you can travel would be the money spent on additional miles plus the base fare has to be less than or equal to $20 you have. This is represented by the inequality 0.75n + 1.75 ≤ 20. This means we are adding $0.75 for each additional mile (n) to the base fare of $1.75, and the total cost must not exceed $20 to stay within the budget.

Answer:

44.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Additional amount they were adding to equipment cost is $900

Percentage of $900 that is $400 = $400/$900 × 100 = 44.4%

$400 is approximately 44.44% of the additional $900 being added to the equipment cost.

To calculate what percent $400 is out of the additional $900 being added to the equipment cost, we can use the following formula:

In this case, the part is $400, which is the predicted additional profit from advertising, and the whole is the total additional amount of $900 being added to the equipment cost.

Using the formula:

So, $400 is 44.44% (approximately) of the additional $900 that the brothers were planning to add to the equipment cost.
