Which number sentence below matches this word problem?
Jen and Marcus got 15 miles up river before they ran out of gas. They floated 9 miles back down river before they reached the shore. How far did they get? A.15 - 6 = 9
B. 9 + 15 = 24 C.15 - 9 = 6
D. 135 9 = 15

Answers

Answer 1
15 up, 9 back, so 15-9 = 6.
I'd say C.
Answer 2

Answer:  Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Jen and Marcus got 15 miles up river before they ran out of gas. They floated 9 miles back down river before they reached the shore

so, distance they travel before they ran out of gas = 15 miles

distance they floated back down river = 9 miles

So, they are at

[tex]15-9\\\\=6\ miles[/tex]

Hence, They are 6 miles far.

Therefore, Option 'C' is correct.

A stick 42 inches long is broken into two pieces, so that one piece is twice as long as the other one. How long are the two pieces ?

Answers

Total length of stick = 42 inches.

Let the shorter piece be x inches.

Thus, the longer piece is 2x.

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14

Therefore, the length of the two pieces are 14 inches and 28 inches.

The answer is 14 inches and 28 inches:

Total length of stick = 42 inches.

Let the shorter piece be x inches.

Thus, the longer piece is 2x.

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14

Therefore, the length of the two pieces are 14 inches and 28 inches.

The standard form of the equation of a parabola is x=y^2+6y+1. What is the vertex form of the equation?
A. X=(y+3)^2-8
B. X=(y+3)^2-5
C. X=(y+6)^2-35

Answers

A. x = (y+3)^2-8 is the correct answer.
What you want to do is get the quadratic (y^2+6y+1) into it's root factor form, in other words, the quantity of (y+what) squared will equal y^2+6y+1. Well it's not a perfect square so we'll have to play around with it a little.
In the format ay^2 + by + c, completing the square first requires finding out what value would do that: c = (b/2)^2 = (6/2)^2 = 3^2 = 9
So we need y^2+6y+1 to have the last number (c) to equal 9 to have (y+b/2)^2, or (y+3)^2
How do we get 9 down to the 1 that we have for c?? 9-1=8, so just subtract 8.
That means that y^2+6y+1 is the same as (y^2+6y+9)-8, and y^2+6y+9 = (y+3)^2, so now we have: y^2+6y+1 = (y+3)^2-8, which is answer [A]

An isosceles trapezoid has bases of 4 and 10. If the base angle is 45°, find the area.

A: 42 sq. units
B: 21√2 sq. units
C: 21 sq. units

Answers

Draw this trapezoid, let it be ABCD, where AB is the smaller base (=4) and
DC, the larger one (=10)
From A & B draw the altitude AA' & BB'. You notice that ABA'B' is a rectangle and A'B' = 4,. You conclude that DA' = B'C = 3 .
Now let's calculate the altitude AA'.
The right triangle ADA' is also an isosceles right triangle:
( angle DA'A=90, angle ADA' = 45 and angle DAA' =45) , then
DA' = AA' (altitude) = 3 units. Now we can calculate the area of the trapezoid:  
 Area = (B+b).H/2

Area = (4+10)x3/2 = 14x3/2 = 42/2 = 21 sq.unit

Answer:

21 sq. units

The area of a certain rectangle is 288 yd2. the perimeter is 68 yd. what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

P = 2(L + W)
P = 68
68 = 2(L + W)
68/2 = L + W
34 = L + W
34 - L = W

A = L * W
A = 288
W = 34 - L

288 = L(34 - L)
288 = 34L - L^2
L^2 - 34L + 288 = 0
(L - 16)(L - 18)

L - 16 = 0
L = 16

L - 18 = 0
L = 18

not exactly sure which (length or width) , but one is 16 yds and one is 18 yds

The dimensions of the rectangle are a length of 16 yds and a width of 18 yds.

What is the area of the rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is defined as the product of the length and width.

The area of a rectangle = L × W

Where W is the width of the rectangle and L is the length of the rectangle

Given that the perimeter is 68 yd

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(L + W)

∴ P = 68

68 = 2(L + W)

68/2 = L + W

34 = L + W

34 - L = W ....(i)

The area of a rectangle is:

A = L × W ....(ii)

∴ A = 288

Substitute the value W = 34 - L in equation (ii), and solve for L

288 = L(34 - L)

288 = 34L - L²

L² - 34L + 288 = 0

(L - 16)(L - 18)

L - 16 = 0 and L - 18 = 0

L = 16 and L = 18

Take L = 16 and substitute the value in the equation (i)

So, W = 34 - 16 = 18

Therefore, the rectangle's length is 16 yds and its width is 18 yds.

How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1?

Answers

The graph is the horizontal line:

y=3  it has a slope of zero.

Function 2 is

y=3x+1, it is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y=intercept so in this case it has a slope of 3.

So the difference in slopes is 3-0=3
Final answer:

The rate of change of function 2 is 3 times greater than the rate of change of function 1.

Explanation:

The rate of change of a function measures how much the output of the function changes when the input changes by 1 unit. In function 1, since the graph is a straight line, the rate of change is constant. We can find the rate of change of function 1 by finding the slope of the line, which represents the rate of change. In function 2, the equation is y = 3x + 1, so the rate of change is 3. Therefore, the rate of change of function 2 is 3 times greater than the rate of change of function 1.

To find your constant of variation, you just need to figure out what you multiply the x by in order to get f(x). In other words, what do you multiply the 3 by to get 6? What do you multiply the 7 by to get 14? Another way to think of it is to divide f(x) by the x to get your constant. 

Let f(x) = 16x5 − 48x4 − 8x3 and g(x) = 8x2. Find f of x over g of x.

The correct answer is
2x^3-6x^2-x

It is given in the question that

1 oz of walnuts were mixed with 4 oz of peanuts which cost $4/oz to make mixed nuts which cost $5/oz. what is the price per oz of walnuts

Answers

Call w the unknwon price of the walnuts, then:

total cost of walnuts = 1oz *  w

Total cost of peanuts = 4 oz * $4/oz = $16

Total cost of nuts = 5oz * $5 /oz = $25

=> 1oz*w + $16 = $25 => w = ($25 - $16) /1oz = $9/oz

Verfify:

1oz * $9/oz + 4oz * $4/oz = $9 + $16 = $25, which is equal to 5oz * $5/oz.

Suppose you toss a coin 100 times and get 76 heads and 24 tails. based on these​ results, what is the probability that the next flip results in a head​?

Answers

If it is a fair coin, the probability of the next flip resulting in "heads" is 50-50 or .5

 

The probability that the next flip results in a head​ is 50% or 0.5.

We have,

Total number of coins tossed = 100

Number of heads outcome = 76

Number of tails outcome = 24

Now,

The probability of getting heads in the tossing of coins 100 times.

= 76/100

= 0.76

= 76%

Now,

Generally for an unbiased coin.

The probability of getting a head in tossing a coin is 50%.

So,

Based on the results of the first 100 coin tosses, even if the probability of getting a head is 76% the probability that the next flip results in a head is still 50%.

Thus,

The probability that the next flip results in a head​ is 50% or 0.5.

How can x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 be set up as a system of equations?

Answers

Final answer:

To set up x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 9 as a system of equations, we would have x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 9 and x = -4.5.

Explanation:

To set up x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 as a system of equations, we can separate it into two separate equations:

Equation 1: x2 = x2 + 2x + 9

Equation 2: 0 = 2x + 9

By rearranging Equation 2, we can rewrite it as:

x = -4.5

Therefore, the system of equations for x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 is: x2 = x2 + 2x + 9 and x = -4.5.

since [tex]x_1 = -1, x_2 =2, y_1=-4\;and\; y_2=2[/tex]
