1.Mary has ( 20xy - 10x²) sweets. She wants to divide the sweets each friend will get in term s of x and y

a) if X=6 and Y=4, how many sweets:

i) Will she give to each friend?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

X will get 20 sweets and Y will get 30 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute for x and y in in the equation.

20(6)(4) - 10(6)(6)

480-360

=120

Mary has 120 sweets.

Then divide 120 by 6 and 4

120/6= 20 sweets and 120/4 =30 sweets

when the positive integer x is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. what is the remainder when X +19 is divided by five

Answers

Answer:

_4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+19/5=3 cross multiply

x+19=3*5

x+19=15

x=15-19

x=-4

The remainder when (x + 19) is divided by 5 is 2.

If the positive integer x has a remainder of 3 when divided by 5, it can be represented as:

x = 5a + 3, where "a" is a non-negative integer.

Now, let's consider the expression (x + 19) and determine the remainder when it is divided by 5:

x + 19 = (5a + 3) + 19

       = 5a + 22

When we divide 5a + 22 by 5, we find:

(5a + 22) = 5(a + 4) + 2

Therefore, the remainder when (x + 19) is divided by 5 is 2.

Answers

This is not an identity.

[tex]\dfrac{2(\cos(x)\sin(x) - \sin(x)\cos(2x))}{\sin(2x)} \neq \sec(x)[/tex]

Check x = π/4, for which we have cos(π/4) = sin(π/4) = 1/√2. Together with sin(2•π/4) = sin(π/2) = 1 and cos(2•π/4) = cos(π/2) = 0, the left side becomes 1, while sec(π/4) = 1/cos(π/4) = √2.

Keeping the left side unchanged, the correct identity would be

[tex]\dfrac{2(\cos(x)\sin(x) - \sin(x)\cos(2x))}{\sin(2x)} = -2\cos(x) + 1 + \sec(x)[/tex]

To show this, recall

• sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

• cos(2x) = cos²(x) - sin²(x)

• cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

Then we have

[tex]\dfrac{2(\cos(x)\sin(x) - \sin(x)\cos(2x))}{\sin(2x)} = \dfrac{2\cos(x)\sin(x) - 2\sin(x)\cos(2x)}{\sin(2x)} \\\\ = \dfrac{\sin(2x) - 2\sin(x)\cos(2x)}{\sin(2x)} \\\\ = 1 - \dfrac{2\sin(x)\cos(2x)}{\sin(2x)} \\\\ = 1 - \dfrac{2\sin(x)(\cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x))}{2 \sin(x)\cos(x)} \\\\ = 1 - \dfrac{\cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} \\\\ = 1 - \cos(x) + \dfrac{\sin^2(x)}{\cos(x)} \\\\ = 1 - \cos(x) + \dfrac{1 - \cos^2(x)}{\cos(x)} \\\\ = 1 - \cos(x) + \sec(x) - \cos(x) \\\\ = -2\cos(x) + 1 + \sec(x)[/tex]

What is the smallest number of marbles that could be divided up either into bags of $18$ marbles or into bags of $42$ marbles, with no marbles left over in each case

Answers

The number that could be divided up either into bags of 18 marbles or into bags of 42 marbles is 126.

How to find that number?

The number that could be divided up either into bags of 18 marbles or into bags of 42 marbles, with no marbles left over in each case, is the lowest common multiple between these two numbers.

By decomposing these numbers as a product of primes, we get:

18 = 2*3*3

42 = 2*3*7

Notice that the first two prime factors are the same, but the third one changes. To get the first common multiple, we need to multiply both numbers by the third factor (the different one) of the other.

We will get:

18*7 = 126

42*3 = 126

Then 126 is the smallest number that can be divided by 18 and 42.

A box contains 50 batteries, of which 10 are dead and 5 are weak. Suppose you select batteries at random from the box and set them aside for recycling if they are dead or weak. If the first battery you select is dead and the second one is weak, what is the probability that the next battery you select will be weak?

Answers

Probability of selecting 1 dead, 1 weak, then 1 weak = (1/588).

Given: 50 total batteries, of which 10 are dead and 5 are weak. This is represented by: 10/50 (simplifies to 1/5) and 5/50 (simplifies to 1/10).
If the batteries are being set aside, it likely means no replacement. For every battery taken out of the box, the box holds one less battery.

Probability of selecting 1 dead, 1 weak, 1 weak is written as: (10/50)*(5/49)*(4/48) = 1/588.

Find the value of x y and z​

Answers

Answer:

x = 115° , y = 65° , z = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 65° are a linear pair and sum to 180°

x + 65° = 180° ( subtract 65° from both sides )

x = 115°

y and 65° are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , then

y = 65°

x and z are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , then

z = x = 115°

CPA is parallel to BPD and so it is also equal to 65 degrees

And all you have to do to find CPB is 180-65=115 and CPB is Parallel to APD thus, its equal to 115 too!

CPA= 65 degrees

BPD=65 degrees

APD= 115 degrees

Triangles

Calculate the perimeter of ABC​

Answers

Answer:

40 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider ∆ADC

Perimeter = 26cm (Given)

★ Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides.

=> AD + DC + AC = 26

Now, from the figure we can see that side AD = DC

Hence we can also write

=> AD + AD + AC = 26

=> 2AD + AC = 26

=> AC = 26 - 2AD ——— ‘1’

Consider ∆ ABC,

Let us consider it's perimeter to be ‘x’.

=> AB + AC + BC = x

Here also we can make out from the figure that side AB = BC

=> AB + AB + AC = x

=> 2AB + AC = x

From ‘1’ substituting AC value, we get

=> 2AB + ( 26 - 2AD ) = x

=> 2AB - 2AD + 26 = x

=> 2( AB - AD ) + 26 = x

=> 2 (7) + 26 = x ( Given )

Therefore perimeter of the ∆ABC (x) = 40

a concert promoter sold 475 tickets to a rock concert the ticket prices for different seat locations were 10 15 and 20 the total income from the concert was 6300 if the combined number of 10 15 tickets sold was 4 times the number of 20 tickets sold how many 10 tickets were sold

Answers

282.5 of 10 tickets were sold in the rock concert by the promoter

How to determine the number of 10 tickets?

To do this, we make use of the following representations:

x represents the 10 ticketsy represents the 15 ticketsz represents the 20 tickets

The 475 tickets that were sold means that:

x + y + z = 475

The income means that:

10x + 15y + 20z = 6300

Also, we have:

10y = 4z

Divide both sides by 10

y = 0.4z

Substitute y = 0.4z in 10x + 15y + 20z = 6300

10x + 15*0.4z + 20z = 6300

10x + 6z + 20z = 6300

Evaluate the like terms

10x + 26z = 6300

Substitute y = 0.4z in x + y + z = 475

x + 0.4z + z = 475

Evaluate the like terms

x + 1.4z = 475

Make x the subject

x = 475 - 1.4z

Substitute x = 475 - 1.4z in 10x + 26z = 6300

10(475 - 1.4z) + 26z = 6300

Expand

4750 - 14z + 26z = 6400

Evaluate the like terms

12z = 1650

Divide both sides by 12

z = 137.5

Substitute z = 137.5 in x = 475 - 1.4z

x = 475 - 1.4 * 137.5

Evaluate

x = 282.5

Hence, 282.5 of 10 tickets were sold

What is the length of EF?

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Sines can be used to find a missing side length in a triangle where the angles are known and at least one side is given. It tells you the ratio of side lengths is equal to the ratio of the sines of their opposite angles. In effect, longer sides are opposite larger angles.

__

compare angles

The given side length (DE=3) is opposite given angle F=50°. The unknown side length EF is opposite larger angle D=75°.

compare sides

Since the unknown side is opposite a larger angle than the other angle given, the length of the unknown side will be longer than the side given.

  EF > DE

  EF > 3

Only one answer choice satisfies this inequality.

  EF = 3.8

__

Additional comment

If you want to do the actual computation, we have ...

  EF/sin(D) = DE/sin(F)

  EF = DE·sin(D)/sin(F) = 3·sin(75°)/sin(50°) ≈ 3.7828

  EF ≈ 3.8
