Answer:
11/15
Step-by-step explanation:
YOu're gonna have to add the fractions together but since the denominators are different, you're gonna have to mutiply to find a common denominator. 15 is a common denominator between 3 and 5 so that's what I'll be using.
1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15 2/5 x 3/3 = 6/15
Since they now have common denominators, you can add them.
5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15
Heather's work to find the distance between two points, R(-3,-4) and S(5,7), is
shown:
RS = √(-4) (-3))² + (7 − 5)²
= √(-1)² + (2)²
= √1 + 4
= √5
-
What error, if any, did Heather make?
A. She substituted incorrectly into the distance formula.
B. She subtracted the coordinates instead of adding them.
C. She made a sign error when simplifying inside the radical.
OD. She made no errors.
The distance between points R and S is \(\sqrt{ (185)\). The correct answer is D. She made no errors.
Heather's work to find the distance between two points, R(-3,-4) and S(5,7), is shown:
RS = √(-4) (-3))² + (7 − 5)²
= √(-1)² + (2)²= √1 + 4
= √5
The error is with the order of subtraction in the formula for the distance between two points.
Heather did not make any errors in calculating the distance between two points. Therefore, the correct answer to the question above is (OD) She made no errors.
The formula for the distance between two points, A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2), in the coordinate plane is given as;
dAB = \(\sqrt{ ((x^2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)\)
Comparing the given question with the formula above, we have;
A = R (-3, -4) and B = S (5, 7)The distance, AB = RS.
Therefore, we have;
RS = \(\sqrt{ ((5 - (-3))^2 + (7 - (-4))^2)\)
On solving the above equation;RS = \(\sqrt{ ((5 + 3)^2 + (7 + 4)^2)\)RS
= \(\sqrt{ (8^2 + 11^2)RS\)
= \(\sqrt{ (64 + 121)RS\)
= \(\sqrt{ (185)\)
Therefore, the distance between points R and S is \(\sqrt{ (185)\).
From the calculation, it is clear that Heather did not make any errors while calculating the distance between two points. The answer obtained by Heather is correct.

Please can anybody help me with this? A card is randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability of picking a club OR a face card? Answer needs to be in decimal form rounded to two decimal places.
Answer:
0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the problem, we need to add the probability of picking a club to the probability of picking a face card, and then subtract the probability of picking a club that is also a face card (because we would have counted it twice).
There are 13 clubs in a standard deck, so the probability of picking a club is 13/52 or 0.25.
There are 12 face cards (4 jacks, 4 queens, and 4 kings) in a standard deck, so the probability of picking a face card is 12/52 or 0.23.
However, there are 3 cards that are both clubs and face cards (the jack of clubs, queen of clubs, and king of clubs), so we need to subtract the probability of picking one of those cards. There are 3 of them out of 52 total cards, so the probability of picking a club that is also a face card is 3/52 or 0.06.
Therefore, the probability of picking a club OR a face card is:
0.25 + 0.23 - 0.06 = 0.42 (rounded to two decimal places).
So the answer is 0.42.
0.43 x _____ = 0.0473.
Answer:
0.11
Step-by-step explanation:
just divide 0.0473 by 0.43.
it gives us 0.11
then multiply 0.11 with 0.43 to check ur answer.

Sixty percent of the cost of the dining set is the same as one half the cost of the dining set decreased by $180. What is the cost of the dining set?
Answer:
The cost of the dining set = $200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Cost of the dining set=x
Sixty percent of the cost of the dining set
= 60% of x
=60/100 * x
= 0.6x
One half the cost of the dining set decreased by $180.
=1 1/2 of x - 180
= 1.5 * x - 180
= 1.5x - 180
Sixty percent of the cost of the dining set is the same as one half the cost of the dining set decreased by $180
0.6x = 1.5x - 180
Collect like terms
0.6x - 1.5x = -180
-0.9x = -180
Divide both sides by -0.9
x= -180 / -0.9
=200
x= $200
Check:
0.6x
= 0.6(200)
=120
1.5x - 180
=1.5(200) - 180
= 300 - 180
=120

Answer:
(c) No; There is an exponent on a variable x that is not a whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
\(f(x) = x^2 - \sqrt[5]{x}\)
Required
Determine if the function is a polynomial function of not
A polynomial function is represented as:
\(f(x) =ax^n + bx^{n-1} + cx^{n-2}+........+z\)
Where n is an integer and the least power is 0
So, we have:
\(f(x) = x^2 - \sqrt[5]{x}\)
The degree of x is \(\frac{1}{5}\) ----- i.e. not an integer
Hence, the function is not a polynomial
the top of an electric pole is s supported by a wire of 26 ft long on the ground level. how far is tightened spot from the foot of the pole if its height is 24 ft?
Answer:
The tightened spot is 10 feet away from the foot of the pole.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Draw the diagram. Notice that the shape of the electric pole and its supporting wire creates a right triangle.
2. We know 2 side lengths already (26ft, 24ft), and we need to find 1 more side length. Therefore, to find the 3rd side length of a right-triangle, utilize Pythagoras' Theorem.
⭐What is the Pythagoras' Theorem?
\((C)^2 = (A)^2 + (B)^2\)An equation to find a 3rd side lengthC = hypotenuseA = one legB = another leg3. Substitute the values of the side lengths into the equation, and solve for the unknown side length.
Let B= the distance from the tightened spot to the foot of the pole.
\((C)^2 = (A)^2 + (B)^2\)
\(26^2 = 24^2 + B^2\)
\(676 = 576 + B^2\)
\(100 = B^2\)
\(\sqrt{100} = \sqrt{(B)^2}\)
\(10 = B\)
∴ The tightened spot is 10 feet away from the foot of the pole.

Therefore, the left column states your reasons is a true statement.
The answer to the student's question is True. In a two-column proof, the left column contains the statements (steps) and the right column contains the corresponding reasons (justifications).
Explanation:The answer to the question, 'True or false? In a two-column proof, the left column states your reasons', is A. True.
A two-column proof is organized into two columns. The left column contains the 'Statements' and the right column contains the corresponding 'Reasons'. The 'Statements' are the steps that lead to the conclusion of the proof, while the 'Reasons' justify each of those steps according to rules or laws of mathematics.
For example, if we want to prove that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal. The left column (Statements) could contain the first step 'ABCD is a parallelogram' and the right column (Reasons) would give the explanation 'Given'. Therefore, in a two-column proof, the left column does represent statements, not reasons.

a) y''-2y'-3y= e^4x
b) y''+y'-2y=3x*e^x
c) y"-9y'+20y=(x^2)*(e^4x)
Answer:
a) To solve the differential equation y''-2y'-3y= e^4x, we first find the characteristic equation:
r^2 - 2r - 3 = 0
Factoring, we get:
(r - 3)(r + 1) = 0
So the roots are r = 3 and r = -1.
The general solution to the homogeneous equation y'' - 2y' - 3y = 0 is:
y_h = c1e^3x + c2e^(-x)
To find the particular solution, we use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since e^4x is a solution to the homogeneous equation, we try a particular solution of the form:
y_p = Ae^4x
Taking the first and second derivatives of y_p, we get:
y_p' = 4Ae^4x
y_p'' = 16Ae^4x
Substituting these into the original differential equation, we get:
16Ae^4x - 8Ae^4x - 3Ae^4x = e^4x
Simplifying, we get:
5Ae^4x = e^4x
So:
A = 1/5
Therefore, the particular solution is:
y_p = (1/5)*e^4x
The general solution to the non-homogeneous equation is:
y = y_h + y_p
y = c1e^3x + c2e^(-x) + (1/5)*e^4x
b) To solve the differential equation y'' + y' - 2y = 3xe^x, we first find the characteristic equation:
r^2 + r - 2 = 0
Factoring, we get:
(r + 2)(r - 1) = 0
So the roots are r = -2 and r = 1.
The general solution to the homogeneous equation y'' + y' - 2y = 0 is:
y_h = c1e^(-2x) + c2e^x
To find the particular solution, we use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since 3xe^x is a solution to the homogeneous equation, we try a particular solution of the form:
y_p = (Ax + B)e^x
Taking the first and second derivatives of y_p, we get:
y_p' = Ae^x + (Ax + B)e^x
y_p'' = 2Ae^x + (Ax + B)e^x
Substituting these into the original differential equation, we get:
2Ae^x + (Ax + B)e^x + Ae^x + (Ax + B)e^x - 2(Ax + B)e^x = 3xe^x
Simplifying, we get:
3Ae^x = 3xe^x
So:
A = 1
Therefore, the particular solution is:
y_p = (x + B)e^x
Taking the derivative of y_p, we get:
y_p' = (x + 2 + B)e^x
Substituting back into the original differential equation, we get:
(x + 2 + B)e^x + (x + B)e^x - 2(x + B)e^x = 3xe^x
Simplifying, we get:
-xe^x - Be^x = 0
So:
B = -x
Therefore, the particular solution is:
y_p = xe^x
The general solution to the non-homogeneous equation is:
y = y_h + y_p
y = c1e^(-2x) + c2e^x + xe^x
c) To solve the differential equation y" - 9y' + 20y = x^2*e^4x, we first find the characteristic equation:
r^2 - 9r + 20 = 0
Factoring, we get:
(r - 5)(r - 4) = 0
So the roots are r = 5 and r = 4.
The general solution to the homogeneous equation y" - 9y' + 20y = 0 is:
y_h = c1e^4x + c2e^5x
To find the particular solution, we use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since x^2*e^4x is a solution to the homogeneous equation, we try a particular solution of the form:
y_p = (Ax^2 + Bx + C)e^4x
Taking the first and second derivatives of y_p, we get:
y_p' = (2Ax + B)e^4x + 4Axe^4x
y_p'' = 2Ae^4x +
Express the given trigonometric functions in terms of the same function of a positive acute angle.sec 948 degrees, cos(-948) degrees
Given the Trigonometric Functions:
\(\begin{gathered} sec(948\text{\degree}) \\ \\ cos(-948\text{\degree}) \end{gathered}\)Using your calculator you get:
\(sec(948\text{\degree})\approx-1.49\)By definition, Secant is negative in Quadrant III.
Finds its Reference Angle as follows:
\(948\text{\degree}-5\cdot180\text{\degree}=48\text{\degree}\)Because:
\(\frac{948}{180}\approx5\)Then, you get:
\(=-sec\left(48\text{\degree}\right)\)Notice that:
\(cos(-948\text{\degree})\approx-0.67\)Then, you can conclude that it is in Quadrant II.
Therefore its Reference Angle is:
\(5\cdot180\text{\degree}-948\text{\degree}=-48\)So you can set up:
\(=-cos\lparen-48)\)By definition:
\(cos(-\theta)=cos\theta\)Therefore, you can rewrite it in this form:
\(=-cos(48\text{\degree})\)Hence, the answer is:

Minimize: 2.35B + 2.6A + 2.85L
Subject to:
B + A + L = 77000 (total number of capacitors required)
B ≥ 0.1A (at least 10% of the volume given to Able Controls should be awarded to Boston Components)
L ≥ 29500 (at least 29,500 capacitors should be ordered from Lyshenko)
B ≤ 32500 (maximum of 32,500 capacitors should be ordered from Boston Components)
A ≤ 50000 (maximum of 50,000 capacitors should be ordered from Able Controls)
L ≤ 48500 (maximum of 48,500 capacitors should be ordered from Lyshenko)
0 ≤ B, A, L (non-negativity constraints)
Solving this linear program using a linear programming software, we get:
B = 13000
A = 50000
L = 14000
Correct Question :
Gulf Coast Electronics is ready to award contracts to suppliers for providing reservoir capacitors for use in its electronic devices. For the past several years, Gulf Coast Electronics has relied on two suppliers for its reservoir capacitors: Able Controls and Lyshenko Industries. A new firm, Boston Components, has inquired into the possibility of providing a portion of the reservoir capacitors needed by Gulf Coast. The quality of products provided by Lyshenko Industries has been extremely high; in fact, only 0.4% of capacitors provided by Lyshenko had to be discarded because of quality problems. Able Controls has also had a high quality level historically, producing an average of only 1% unacceptable capacitors. Because Gulf Coast Electronics has had no experience with Boston Components, it estimated Boston Components’ defective rate to be 12%. Gulf Coast would like to determine how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each firm to obtain 77000 acceptable-quality capacitors to use in its electronic devices. To ensure that Boston Components will receive some of the contract, management specified that the volume of reservoir capacitors awarded to Boston Components must be at least 10% of the volume given to Able Controls. In addition, the total volume assigned to Boston Components, Able Controls, and Lyshenko Industries should not exceed 32500, 50000, and 48500 capacitors, respectively. Because of Gulf Coast’s long-term relationship with Lyshenko Industries, management also specified that at least 29500 reports should be ordered from Lyshenko. The cost per capacitor is $2.35 for Boston Components, $2.6 for Able Controls, and $2.85 for Lyshenko Industries.
Formulate and solve a linear program for determining how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each supplier to minimize the total cost of obtaining 75,000 acceptable-quality reservoir capacitors. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. Enter "0" if your answer is zero. If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box.
Let B = number of capacitors ordered from Boston Components
Let A = number of capacitors ordered from Able Controls
Let L = number of capacitors ordered from Lyshenko Industries
