Kristen spent many days at the community pool last summer. She noticed that five out of fourteen flying insects she saw at the pool were mayflies. If Kristen saw fourteen flying insects at the pool one day, how many were mayflies? If, over several days, Kristen saw forty two flying insects, how many were mayflies? If, over a few weeks, Kristen saw thirty mayflies, how many flying insects did she see?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 5 mayflies

(b) 15 mayflies

(c) 84 flying flies

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Mayflies with M and the total flying insects with F

The ratio can be represented as:

[tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

Solving (a):

[tex]F = 14[/tex]

Find M

Substitute 14 for F in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]M : 14 = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{M}{14} = \frac{5}{14}[/tex]

Multiply through by 14

[tex]14 * \frac{M}{14} = \frac{5}{14} * 14[/tex]

[tex]M = 5[/tex]

Solving (b):

[tex]F = 42[/tex]

Find M

Substitute 42 for F in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]M : 42 = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{M}{42} = \frac{5}{14}[/tex]

Multiply through by 42

[tex]42 * \frac{M}{42} = \frac{5}{14} * 42[/tex]

[tex]M = \frac{5}{14} * 42[/tex]

[tex]M=5*3[/tex]

[tex]M= 15[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]M = 30[/tex]

Find F

Substitute 30 for M in [tex]M : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

[tex]30 : F = 5 : 14[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{F}{30} = \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Multiply through by 30

[tex]30 * \frac{F}{30} = \frac{14}{5} * 30[/tex]

[tex]F = \frac{14}{5} * 30[/tex]

[tex]F = 14*6[/tex]

[tex]F = 84[/tex]

The graph of cosine function has an amplitude of 4 and a period of 3x find an equation in the form of y=a cos bx

Answers

Answer: f(x) = 4*cos(x*2*pi/3)

Where I assumed that the period is 3, instead of 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

In a general equation like:

f(x) = a*cos(b*x)

a is the amplitude.

b is the angular frequency, which is equal to two pi times the inverse of the period.

In this case, we know that the amplitude is 4, then a = 4.

And the period is 3x (i guess that this is wrong because the period should not depend on the variable, as we will see later), then the frequency is:

b = 2*pi/3x

Replacing these in the equation we get:

f(x) = 4*cos(x*2*pi/3x) = 4*cos(2*pi/3)

Then we have no longer a dependence on x.

If the period is equal to 3, then the frequency will be:

b = 2*pi/3

Then the equation now is

f(x) = 4*cos(x*2*pi/3)

This is a cosine function, as we wanted.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,4) and has a slope of zero?

Answers

Answer:

y = x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 1, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 4) into the partial equation

4 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 3 = 7

y = x + 7 ← equation of line

11. UZ, VX, and TW are medians of Triangle TUV. If UZ = 21, find UY.​

Answers

Answer:

UY = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a triangle is the segment that joins a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite to this vertex.The point of intersection of the medians of a triangle, divide each median at ratio 2: 1 from the vertex

In the given figure

∵ TUV is a triangle

UZ, VX, and TW are medians

∵ UZ ∩ VX ∩ TW at point Y

∴ Y is the point of intersection of the 3 medians

→ By using the 2nd rule above

∵ The point Y divide UZ at the ratio of 2: 1 from the vertex U

UY: YZ = 2: 1

∴ [tex]\frac{UY}{YZ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ UY × 1 = YZ × 2

UY = 2YZ

UZ = UY + YZ

∴ UZ = 2 + 1 = 3 parts

∵ UY = 2 parts

∴ [tex]\frac{UY}{UZ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

→ Multiply both sides by UZ

UY =  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] UZ

∵ UZ = 21

∴ UY =  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] (21)

UY = 14

For the following system of equations, the value of x is______

PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

x=6-3y then the other would be x=(4+6y)/6

Answer: x = 2, y = 4/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the System of Equations

x + 3y = 6 6x − 6y = 4

Subtract 3y from both sides of the equation.

x = 6 − 3y 6x − 6y = 4

Replace all occurrences of x with 6 − 3y in each e quation.

Replace all occurrences of x in 6x − 6y = 4 with 6 − 3y.

6 (6 − 3y) − 6y = 4

x = 6 − 3y

Simplify 6 (6 − 3y) − 6y.

36 − 24y = 4

x = 6 − 3y

Solve for y in the first equation.

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.

−24y = −32

x = 6 − 3y

Divide each term by −24 and simplify.

y = 4/3

x = 6 − 3y

Replace all occurrences of y with 4/3 in each equation.

 

Replace all occurrences of y in x = 6 − 3y with 4/3

x = 6 − 3 ( 3 )

y= 4/3

Simplify 6 − 3 ( 4 )

x = 2  

y = 4/3

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

(2, 4 /3 )

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:  2, 4 /3

Equation Form:  x = 2, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 students participated in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of boys and girls who took part in the quiz

Solution: Number of girls = x

Number of boys = y

x + y = 10 -------------------(I)

Number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys

x - y = 4 ----------------------(I)

  x =  4 + y

Substitute x = 4 +y in equation (I)

4+ y + y = 10

4  + 2y = 10

       2y = 10-4

       2y= 6

          y = 6/2

y = 3

Plug in y = 3 in eqution (I)

x + 3 = 10

        x = 10 - 3

x = 7

Number of girls = 7

Number of boys = 3

1 1/2 - (5/6x + 1/3) = 8/9 Really urgent pls help

Answers

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the mixed number 1 1/2 as 1 9/18.  The denominator here is 18, which is the smallest number divisible by 2, 6, 3 and 9.  Then we have:

1 9/18  -(15/18)x - 6/18 = 16/18

or:

27/18 -(15/18)x = 22/18

Clear this of fractions by multiplying all terms by 18:

27 - 15x = 22, or

5 = 15x, or

x = 5/15, or x = 1/3

The value of the equation x = 1/3

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

1 1/2 - [ ( 5/6 )x + 1/3 ] = 8/9   be equation (1)

On simplifying the equation , we get

3/2 - ( 5/6 )x - 1/3 = 8/9

Adding (5/6)x on both sides of the equation , we get

( 5/6 )x + 8/9 = ( 7/6 )

Subtracting 8/9 on both sides of the equation , we get

( 5/6 )x = ( 7/6 ) - ( 8/9 )

( 5/6 )x = ( 63 - 48 ) / 54

Multiply by ( 6/5 ) on both sides of the equation , we get

x = ( 15/54 ) x ( 6/5 )

x = 3/9

x = 1/3

Hence , the value of the equation is x = 1/3
