Jill would like an increase in the hourly wage she receives from the Mathematics Research Center, where she works in the mail room. Her boss gives her an equation to solve, telling her that her raise is the solution to the equation, but only if she can solve it. The equation is x 2- 6x + 9 = 0. What was the amount of her raise per hour? Answer:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jill will receive an increase of $3 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quadratic Equation

The quadratic equation can be represented in the standard form as:

[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

being a,b, and c are constants.

It can be solved by using the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Jill would like an increase in her hourly wage. The increase will come as the solution for a maths equation.

She must solve the equation:

[tex]x^2-6x+9=0[/tex]

The solution to the equation, or value of x, is the increase in her hourly wage.

Comparing with the general form, we have a=1, b=-6, c=9. Thus, the solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-6)\pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(1)(9)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-36}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6\pm \sqrt{0}}{2}[/tex]

The square root is 0, therefore is only one solution:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]

x = 3

Thus, her raise per hour is $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply is that of volume of a cone where;

V=π*r²*h/3  --------where V is the volume of the container, r is the radius of the container  and h is the height of the container

Given that : π=3.14 , r is 2.5 inches , h= 11 inches then apply values to the container as;

V= 3.14 * 2.5²* 11/3

V= 3.14 * 6.25 * 3.67

V= 71.9948

V= 71.99 in³

What is the area of triangle ABC if a = 10 (degrees), B = 22 (degrees), and C = 70 (degrees) please help me.
A. 454.32 Sq Units
B. 103.37 Sq Units
C. 1.76 Sq Units
D. 17.61 Sq Units

Answers

Answer:

D. 17.61 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the ∆ABC, we can apply the formula below:

Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)

a = 10

c = ??

B = 22°

Let's find c using Sine Rule:

Thus:

[tex] \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{c}{sin(C)} [/tex]

Where,

a = 10

c = ??

A = 180 - (22 + 70) = 88°

C = 70°

Plug in the values

[tex] \frac{10}{sin(88)} = \frac{c}{sin(70)} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by sin(70)

[tex] \frac{10}{sin(88)} \times sin(70) = \frac{c}{sin(70)} \times sin(70) [/tex]

[tex] \frac{10 \times sin(70)}{sin(88)} = c [/tex]

[tex] 9.4 = c [/tex] (nearest tenth)

✔️Area of ∆ABC = ½×a×c×sin(B)

Plug in the values

Area of ∆ABC = ½ × 10 × 9.4 × sin(22)

Area = 17.61 square units (nearest tenth)

Solve for x: 8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1)​

Answers

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1) ← distribute

8x - 3 = 10x + 5 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

- 2x - 3 = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 2x = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 4

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 3 = 5(2x + 1)

8x - 3 = 5 × 2x + 5 × 1

8x - 3 = 10x + 5

8x - 10x = 3 + 5

- 2x = 8

2x = - 8

x = (- 8)/2

x = - 4

Thus, The value of x is -4

Amanda has four plastic shapes, a circle, a square, a triangle, and a pentagon, In how many ways can she lineup the four shapes if the circle cannot be next to the square

Do NOT have an explanation that isn't just writing all the combinations of shapes.

Answers

Answer:  12

====================================================

Explanation:

Let's say we have the following code names for each shape

C = circleS = squareT = triangleP = pentagon

We have 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to arrange them without any restrictions

Some permutations have C and S together, while others do not.

Example of them together: CSTP

Example of them separated: CTSP

--------------------------

Let's say Amanda used a rubberband or glue to connect the circle to the square. This way the two shapes would always be together. They combine to form a new shape of sorts.

Let's call this new shape "polygon" and define it as

L = polygon

The codename L is just a placeholder for CS or SC.

So instead of the set of these codenames {C,S,T,P}, we have this reduced set {L,T,P}

No matter how we arrange the items in {L,T,P}, the circle and square are always going to be together. Again, anywhere you see an L, you replace it with CS or SC.

--------------------------

There are 3 letters in {L,T,P} so there are 3! = 3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange those 3 letters. There are 2 ways to arrange S and C within any of those 6 arrangements mentioned earlier.

So there are 2*6 = 12 different ways to arrange the four shapes such that S and C are together somehow.

Recall earlier we found 24 ways total to arrange the shapes without restriction. This must mean there are 24 - 12 = 12 permutations such that S and C are not together. This is the final answer we're after.

In a girl's bank, there is a collection of nickels, dimes, and quarters which amounts to $9.50. There are four times as many quarters as nickels, and 3 more dimes than nickels. How many coins of each kind are there?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of nickels be x

Let the amount of dimes be y

Let the amount of quarters be z

If the total collection amounts to $9.50, then;

x+y+z = 9.50 ..... 1

If there are four times as many quarters as nickels, then;

z = 4x .... 2

Also if there are 3 more dimes than nickels then;

y = x+3 .... 3

Substitute 2 and 3 into 1;

x + x+3 + 4x = 9.50

6x = 9.50 -5

6x = 4.50

x = 4.50/6

x = $0.75

Since y = x  +3

y = 0.75 + 3

y = $3.75

Also, z = 4x

z = 0.75(5)

z = $3.0

If you have five red balls and five blue balls in a jar what’s the probability of the first ball being red?

Answers

Answer:

red balls = 5

blue balls = 5

total balls = 5 blue+5 red

= 10

[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{red \: balls}{total \: balls} [/tex]

[tex]p(first \: ball \: being \: red) = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red balls = 5

Total number of blue balls = 5

Total number of balls in jar = 5 + 5

                                             = 10

Probability of the first ball being red = total number of the red ball/total number of balls in the jar

                                                             = [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

                                                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of the first ball being red = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], 50% or 0.5 (in any way you are instructed to write it in)

The perimeter of one small rectangle is 21cm. The width of one small rectangle is x cm.

Work out the perimeter of the large rectangle. The final line of your answer should be the form, perimeter of large rectangle is ...cm

Answers

Answer: 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the image attached, the A large rectangle is made by joining three identical small rectangles,

The width of one small rectangle is x cm and the length of one small rectangle is 2x cm. Therefore the perimeter of the small rectangle is given as:

2(length + width) = Perimeter

2(2x + x) = 21

2(3x) = 21

6x = 21

x = 21/6 = 3.5 cm

x = 3.5 cm

From the image attached, the width of the large rectangle is 2x (x + x) and the length is 3x (2x + x). Therefore, the perimeter of the large rectangle is:

2(length + width) = Perimeter

2(3x + 2x) = Perimeter

Perimeter = 2(5x)

Perimeter = 10x

Perimeter = 10(3.5)

Perimeter = 35 cm
