21. Transportation A youth group with 26 members is going skiing. Each of the five
chaperones will drive a van or sedan. The vans can seat seven people, and the
sedans can seat five people. Assuming there are no empty seats, how many of each
type of vehicle could transport all 31 people to the ski area in one trip?

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

2 sedans and 3 vans

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

Work Shown:

s = number of sedans

v = number of vans

1 sedan = 5 seats

s sedans = 5s seats

1 van = 7 seats

v vans = 7v seats

5s+7v = all seats

5s+7v = 31

Let's go through all the values of s to see which values of v work.

If s = 0, then the equation turns into 7v = 31, but the solution for v isn't an integer.If s = 1, then the equation turns into 5+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 26/7 = 3.71 which also isn't an integerIf s = 2, then the equation becomes 10+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 3. So we found the answer. This means we need 2 sedans and 3 vans.

As a check:

2 sedans = 5*2 = 10 seats

3 vans = 7*3 = 21 seats

10+21 = 31 seats total

This confirms the answer.

Answer 2

The number of vans used is three and the number of sedans is two

Let :

v represent the number of vans

s represent the number of sedans

The following equations can be gotten

7v + 5s = 31 equation 1

v + s = 5 equation 2

The elimination method would be used to solve for v and s

Multiply equation 2 by 7

7v + 7s = 35 equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

2s = 4

s = 4/2

s = 2

Substitute for s in equation 2

v + 2 = 5

v = 5 - 2

v = 3

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13ft long. The longer leg is 7ft longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

The side lengths are 5, 12, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the side lengths we know before we have solved the problem.

a= x   b= x+7   c= 13

If we put this into the Pythagorean theorem, we get

[tex]13^{2} = x^{2} +(x+7)^{2}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]169 = 2x^2+14x+49\\[/tex]

Subtract 169 from both sides

[tex]0 =2x^2+14x-120[/tex]

Solve using the quadratic formula

a= 2   b= 14   c= -120

[tex]\frac{-14\pm \sqrt{14^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-120\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{-14\pm \:34}{2\cdot \:2}[/tex]  

If we separate the solutions we get

[tex]x= \frac{20}{4} = 5[/tex]

and

[tex]x= \frac{-48}{4} = -12[/tex]

Since this is a question about length, we can ignore the negative.

So the longer leg is 12ft and the shorter leg is 5ft

The shorter length is 5feet and the longer length is 12 feet

Let the shorter leg = x

Let the longer leg = x+7

Therefore,

x² + (x+7)² = 13²

x² + x² + 14x + 49 = 169

Collect like terms

2x² + 14x + 49 - 169 = 0

2x² + 14x - 120 = 0.

Divide by 2

x² + 7x - 60

By using quadratic equation

x² + 12x - 5x - 60

x(x + 12) - 5(x + 12)

Therefore, x - 5 = 0

x = 0 + 5.

x = 5

The shorter length is 5ft

Longer length = 5+7 = 12 feet

Suppose that from a standard deck, you draw three cards without replacement. What is the expected number of spades that you will draw

Answers

Answer: The expected number of spades that you will draw is 0.751 spades

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value can be calculated as:

∑xₙ*pₙ

Where xₙ is the n-th event, and pₙ is the probability of that event.

First, let's count the possible events and calculate the probability for each one.

x₀ = drawing 0 spades.

Out of 52 cards, we have only 13 spades, then 52 - 13 = 39 are not spades.

Then the probability of not drawing a spade in the first draw is:

p1 = 39/52

In the second draw we will have a card less than before in the deck (so we have 38 cards that are not spades, and 51 cards in total), then the probability of not drawing a spade is:

p2 = 38/51

And with the same reasoning, in the third draw the probability is:

p3 = 37/50

The joint probability for this event will be:

p₀ = p1*p2*p3 = (39/52)*(38/51)*(37/50) = 0.413

Second event:

x₁ = drawing one spade.

Let's suppose that in the first draw we get the spade, the probability will be:

p1 = 13/52

In the second draw, we get no spade, then the probability is:

p2 = 39/51

in the third draw we also get no spade, the probability is:

p3 = 38/50

And we also have the case where the spade is drawn in the second draw, and in the third draw, then we have 3 permutations, this means that the probability of drawing only one spade is:

p₁ = 3*p1*p2*p3 = 3*(13/52)(39/51)*(38/50) = 0.436

third event:

x₂ = drawing two spades:

Let's assume that in the first draw we do not get a spade, then the probabilities are:

p1 = 39/52

p2 = 13/51

p3 = 12/50

And same as before, we will have 3 permutations, because we could not draw a spade in the second draw, or in the third, then the probability for this case is:

p₂ = 3*p1*p2*p3 = 3*( 39/52)*(13/51)*(12/50) = 0.138

And the last event:

x₃ = drawing 3 spades.

The probabilities will be:

p1 = 13/52

p2 = 12/51

p3 = 11/50

And there are no permutations here, so the joint probability is:

p₃ = p1*p2*p3 = (13/52)*(12/51)*(11/50) = 0.013

Now we can calculate the expected value:

EV = 0*0.413 + 1*0.436 + 2*0.138 + 3*0.013 = 0.751

The expected number of spades that you will draw is 0.751 spades

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement of the given ones are - the unit rate of best fudge is less than unit rate of candy cane.

What is the general equation of a straight line?

The general equation of a straight line is -

y = mx + c

Where -

[m] is the slope of the line.

[c] is the y - intercept.

Given is a table that shows the cost for fudge at candy lane. The graph represents the cost for similar fudge that best fudge shop sell.

The slope of straight line represented by the table -

m[1] = (16 - 8)/(2 - 1)

m[1] = 8

The slope of the line plotted on graph -

m[2] = (9 - 6)/(3 - 2)

m[2] = 3

The slope is the measure of unit rate. Therefore, the unit rate of best fudge is less than unit rate of candy cane.

The cost 3 pounds of fudge at best fudge shop = 3 x 3 = $9

The cost 1 pound of fudge at candy lane = $8

Hence, cost 3 pounds of fudge at best fudge shop is greater than the cost of a pound of fudge at sweet treats.

Therefore, the correct statement of the given ones are - the unit rate of best fudge is less than unit rate of candy cane.

What is the formula and slope of (18, -7) and (18, 2)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinate points: (18, -7) and (18,2)

m= rise / run      or    [tex]\frac{ y_2 - y_1} {x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

m = slope

(x1, y1) = coordinates of first point in the line

(x2, y2) = coordinates of second point in the line

So your rise is...

2 - (-7)

and you run is...

18 -18

Rise = 9

Run = 0

Now, do you see the issue...

You can not have a number over 0 (* a great way to remember is N/0 spells no: "N" being number and "0" being zero)

The slope or the equation 9 / 0 (9 divided by 0 or 9 over 0)  is ERROR in the calculator which means the slope of these points are undefined

The line is vertical when this happens

*Side Note: if you were to have 0 as you rise and 9 as your run, 0/9 is ok because that means you have a zero slope meaning that you have a horizontal line

0 divide by 9 is zero
