1,If 1 − x, x + 3 and 2x + 1 are consecutive terms of an A.P, then find the common

difference.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are consecutive terms in an AP,

(1 - x) + (2x + 1) = 2(x + 3).

=> x + 2 = 2x + 6

=> x = -4.

Therefore the terms are 5, -1 and -7.

=> Common difference = -6.

X-3y=-12 and 4x+6y=-12 substitution

Answers

Answer:

x = -6

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

x - 3y = -12

4x + 6y = -12

In this problem, it would likely be easier to use elimination, but since the problem specifically says that one must use substitution, substitution will be used. Substitution is when one solves one of the equations for a variable, similar to solving a literal equation. The one will substitute in the value of the variable into the other equation and solve for the other varibale. Then one will finally back substitute in that value of the other variable to find the value of the first variable, hence solving the equation.

2. Solve equation 1

x - 3y = -12

Solve the literal equation with inverse operations;

x - 3y = -12

   +3y    + 3y

x = 3y - 12

3. Substitute the answer into the second equation

4x + 6y = -12

x = 3y - 12

4 ( 3y - 12 ) + 6y = -12

Distribute;

12y - 48 + 6y = -12

Simplify;

12y - 48 + 6y = -12

18y - 48 = -12

Inverse operations;

18y - 48 = -12

     +48     +48

18y = 36

/18   /18

y = 2

4. Backsolve for x

Substitute the value for y back into the equation for x and solve

x = 3y - 12

y = 2

x = 3(2) - 12

x = 6 - 12

x = -6

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -2) and (8, – 7)?

Answers

Answer:

y = -1.25x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if the coordinate pairs are on this line, plug x into the equation above.

y = -5 + 3

y = -2, so (4, -2) is on that line.

y = -1.25(8) + 3

y = -10 + 3

y = -7, so (8, -7) is also on that line.

At a certain company, loan agents are paid based on the number of loans they close in a day. Based on company records, the number of loans X that a randomly selected loan agent closes on a randomly selected day has the probability distribution below.x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7p(x) 0.05 0.10 0.22 0.30 0.18 0.12 0.03 At the company, the daily salary of a loan agent is $150 plus $50 per loan closed. Let YY represent the amount of money made by a randomly selected loan agent on a randomly selected day. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The mean of X is less than the mean of Y. B. The standard deviation of Y is approximately $71. C. The mean daily salary is greater than $350 per day. D. The standard deviation of X is less than the standard deviation of Y. E. The shape of the probability distribution of Y is unimodal and roughly symmetric.

Answers

Answer:

C. The mean daily salary is greater than $350 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Y = a + bX

where,

Y = money made by a random selected

a = $150

b = $50

X = number of loan

Now

E(x) = (1 × 0.05) + (2 × 0.10) + (3 × 0.22) + (4 × 0.30) + (5 × 0.18) + (6 × 0.12) + (7 × 0.03)

= 3.94

Now

E(y) = $150 + ($50 × 3.94)

= $347

hence, the option C is not correct

The mean daily salary is greater than $350 per day and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

At a certain company, loan agents are paid based on the number of loans they close in a day.

The computation is given by:

Y = a + bX

where Y is the money made by randomly selected, a is $150, b is $50, and X is the number of loans.

Now, the value of E(x) is given by:

[tex]\rm E(x) = (1\times 0.5)+(2\times 0.1)+(3\times 0.22)+(4\times 0.3)+(5\times 0.18)+(6\times 0.12)+(7\times 0.03)[/tex]

[tex]\rm E(x) = 3.94[/tex]

Now, the value of E(y) is given by:

[tex]\rm E(y) = 150+(50\times 3394)[/tex]

E(y) = $347

So, the correct option is given by C) The mean daily salary is greater than $350 per day.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The population in the year 2033 is 18630.

(b) After nearly 36years from the starting population of 11500 we will get our population tripled.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2017, the population of a city is 11500, and is increasing exponentially at a rate of 3.1% per year

This can be formulated with the compound interest formula, also we can think the given situation as we have 11500 rupees which increases at the rate of 3.1% per year.

we can formulate the given situation using the compound interest formula.

A = P(1 + [tex]\frac{r}{n}[/tex])^n*t

A is the final population

P is the initial population = 11500

r is the rate at which the population increases = 3.1A =% = 0.031

n denotes the number of times the population increases per year = 1

t is the time or year = 1

A = [tex]11500( 1 + 0.031)[/tex]^1*t

(a) The number of years to reach the year 2033 from 2017 is 16years.

so we have the value of t = 16

 so the final population in the year 2033 will be

A = 11500(1+0.031)^1*16

   = 11500(1.031)^16

   = 11500*1.63

A = 18630

Therefore the population size in the year 2033 will be 18630.

(b) We need to find the year in which the population gets tripled. we will triple our population from the population which was in 2017

 so the our equation will be

 11500*3 = 11500(1+0.031)^1*t

  3 = (1.031)^t

upon taking logarithm both sides we get

log(3) = t*log(1.031)    ( using the property log(a^b) = blog(a)

0.477 = t*0.133

t = 0.477/0.0133

t = 35.86years

upon taking approximation we will get 36 years.

Therefore after nearly 36years from the starting population of 11500 we will get our population tripled.

B.  BD = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a square.

BD and AC are diagonals and they have equal length.

We have AC = 7x + 18 and BD = 10x - 3

Since AC = BD, we substitute their values and solve for x:

7x + 18 = 10x - 310x - 7x = 18 + 33x = 21x = 21/3x = 7

Then find the length of BD:

BD = 7x + 18 = 7*7 + 18 = 49 + 18 = 67

Correct option is B.  BD = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given to equations to us are ,

[tex]\qquad \red{\bullet} \: y = x + 4 \\\\\qquad \red{\bullet} \: y = -2x - 2 [/tex]

And we need to find the solution using graphical method.

So , after plotting the graph of both equations the point where both lines intersect will be the solution of the graph.

And , for plotting we need at least two points .

For equation (1) :-

[tex]\implies y = x + 4 [/tex]

When x = (-4) .

[tex]\implies y = -4+4\\\\\bf\implies y = 0 [/tex]

When x = (-3)

[tex]\implies y = -3+4\\\\\bf\implies y = -1 [/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \cline{1-3} \bf x & (-4) & (-3) \\\cline{1-3} \bf y & 0 & 1 \\\cline{1-3}\end{tabular}}[/tex]

For equation 2 :-

[tex]\implies y = -2x - 2 [/tex]

When x = (-1) .

[tex]\implies y = -2(-1)-2\\\\\bf\implies y = 0 [/tex]

When x = (0)

[tex]\implies y = 0-2\\\\\bf\implies y = -2 [/tex]

[tex]\large\boxed{\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \cline{1-3} \bf x & (-1) & 0 \\\cline{1-3} \bf y & 0 & -2 \\\cline{1-3}\end{tabular}}[/tex]

Now , let's plot their graphs. Graph is in attachment. Hence on plotting the graph we see that both the lines Intersect on (-2,2) . Hence x = -2 and y = 2 is the solution of the given linear equation.

Jason buys 8 colored markers at the art store. He handed the cashier $15. The cashier gave him back $1. How much did each marker cost?

Answers

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

i think though

Each colored marker costs $1.75.

What is Unit Rate?

The amount of one quantity in another single quantity is termed as the unit rate of that quantity.

For example, speed is a unit rate in terms of distance and speed.

Number of colored markers Jason bought = 8

Cash that Jason gives the cashier = $15

Cash that cashier gives back = $1

Price of 8 colored markers = 15 - 1

                                             = $14

We have to find the unit rate of the colored marker, that is the price of one colored marker.

Let x be the cost of the one colored marker.

Using proportion,

8 : 14 = 1 : x

8/14 = 1/x

Doing cross multiplication,

8x = 14

x = 14/8

x = 1.75

Hence the unit rate of the colored marker or the cost of one colored marker is $1.75.
