Mathematics High School

Seth and Karen are college students who take on different jobs for income. Seth needs $750 for expenses and savings each month; Karen needs $700.
Seth has a part-time job where he earns $7.50 per hour. He also mows lawns and earns $15 per lawn that he mows. His monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.
Karen has a part-time job babysitting, where she earns $6 per hour. She also walks dogs and earns $4 per dog that she walks. Her monthly earnings can be expressed with the equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.
Before you begin, decide with your partner who will work with Seth's information and who will work with Karen's information.
Working with the Equations
Work Separately
Each partner must change the equation that represents his or her chosen college student to slope-intercept form. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Be sure to show all your work.
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write using complete sentences.
Write the equation in function notation. Explain what the graph of the function represents. Be sure to use complete sentences.
Graph the function. On the graph, make sure to label the intercepts. You may graph your equation by hand on a piece of paper and scan your work, or you may use graphing technology.
Comparing Students
Work Together
Each partner now has an equation, function, and graph that represent the combinations of activities resulting in the income needed for each student. Compare these items and answer the following questions:
Which student, Seth or Karen, has the higher slope when the graphs of their earnings are compared? How can you tell?
Whose graph, Seth's or Karen's, has a greater y-intercept? What does that mean for this person?
If both students work 80 hours for the month, is the number of lawns Seth has to mow greater than or less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk? Justify your answer.
Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting, and Seth begins earning $8 per hour. How does this change affect their graphs if everything else remains the same?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Seth:

Equation 7.50x + 15y = 750, where x is the number of hours Seth works and y is the number of lawns he mows.

Karen:

Equation 6x + 4y = 700, where x is the number of hours Karen works and y is the number of dogs she walks.

Part A: Converting it in function for by solving for y first.

Solving 7.50x + 15y = 750, equation we get

7.50x + 15y = 750

15y = -7.50x + 750

y = -1/2x + 50

Solving 6x + 4y = 700 for y, we get

6x + 4y = 700

4y = -6x + 700

y= -3/2x + 175.

On comaring with slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we got slope for Seth equation is -1/2 and slope for Karen is -3/2.

If we take absolute of those -1/2 and -3/2 we get 1/2 and 3/2.

Therefore, Karen has the higher slope. We can see the graph that blue line has greater slope as it's increasing/decreasing with greater rate.

In function form we could write equation as

f(x) = -1/2x + 50 and

f(x) = -3/2x + 175.

Part B : y-intercept of Karen equation is 175 and y-intercept of Seth equation is 50.

Therefore, Karen has greater y-intercept.

This means Karen earns $175 by just walking dogs.

Part C: If both students work 80 hours for the month.

Let us plug x =80 in each of the equations.

y = -1/2x + 50  => y = -1/2(80) + 50 = -40 +50 = $10.

Seth would earn $10 from mowing lawn.

Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow = 10/15 = 0.67 that is approximately 1 lawn.

y = -3/2x + 175  => y = -3/2(80) + 175 = -120 +175 = $55.

Karen would earn $50 from walking dog.

So, the number of dogs Karne has to walk = 55/4 = 13.75 that ia approximately 14 dogs.

Therefore, the number of lawns Seth has to mow is less than the number of dogs Karen has to walk.

Part D: If Karen begins charging $8 per hour for babysitting and Seth begins earning $8 per hour.

The equations would become : 8x + 15y = 750, 8x + 4y = 700.

It would not effect the graph much. Even the y-intercepts would remain same.

There would be a slightly change in slopes.

Find the centroid of the triangle with these vertices: P (-1,7), Q (9,5), and R (4,3).
The coordinates of the centroid are?​

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of the centroid are:

[tex]O\:=\:\left(4,\:5\right)\:\:[/tex]

The diagram is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices

P (-1, 7)Q (9, 5)R (4, 3)

We know that the intersection of medians brings the centroid of the triangle.

The centroid of a triangle is given by

[tex]O\:=\:\left(\frac{P_x+Q_x+R_x}{3},\:\frac{P_y+Q_y+R_y}{3}\:\right)[/tex]

In this example,

[tex]P_x=-1,\:P_y=7[/tex]

[tex]Qx=9,\:Q_y=5[/tex]

[tex]Rx=4,\:R_y=3[/tex]

substituting in the formula

[tex]O\:=\:\left(\frac{-1+9+4}{3},\:\frac{7+5+3}{3}\:\right)\:\:[/tex]

[tex]O\:=\:\left(\frac{12}{3},\:\frac{15}{3}\:\right)\:\:[/tex]

[tex]O\:=\:\left(4,\:5\right)\:\:[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of the centroid are:

[tex]O\:=\:\left(4,\:5\right)\:\:[/tex]

The diagram is also attached below.

We've been given with the co-ordinates of vertices of the triangle and asked to calculate the co-ordinates of the centroid.

★ Centroid of a triangle :-

[tex]\red{\boxed{ \sf{Centroid \: = \: \dfrac{x_1 \: + \: x_2 \: + \: x_3}{3} } \: , \: \dfrac{y_1 \: + \: y_2 \: + \: y_3}{3} }} \: \pink\bigstar [/tex]

We have :

x₁ = -1x₂ = 9x3 = 4y₁ = 7y₂ = 5y3 = 3

Substituting the values :

★ For x co-ordinate:-

[tex]: \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \dfrac{x_{1} \: + \: x_2 \: + \: x_3}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \dfrac{ - 1 \: + \: 9 \: + \: 4}{3}} \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \dfrac{ 8 \: + \: 4}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \dfrac{ 12}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \cancel\dfrac{ 12}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: 4 }[/tex]

★ For y co-ordinate:-

[tex]: \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: \dfrac{y_{1} \: + \: y_2 \: + \: y_3}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: \dfrac{ 7 + 5 + 3}{3}} \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: \dfrac{ 10 \: + \: 5}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: \dfrac{ 15}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: \cancel\dfrac{ 15}{3} } \\ \\ : \: \implies \: \sf{y\: = \: 5 }[/tex]

★ Henceforth,

Co-ordinates are (4 , 5)

Additional Information :

★ Midpoint of two points:-

[tex]\boxed{ \sf{M \: = \: \dfrac{x_1 \: + \: x_2 }{2} \: , \: \dfrac{y_1 \: + \: y_2 }{2}}} \: \pink\bigstar[/tex]

★ Distance Formula :-

[tex]\huge \large \boxed{\sf{{d \: = \: \sqrt{(x _{2} - x _{1}) {}^{2} \: + \: (y _{2} - y _{1}) {}^{2} }}}} \: \red\bigstar[/tex]

Hem dibuixat tres rectangles. En el primer, la llargada mesura 3 cm més que l'amplada. El segon i tercer rectangle tenen unes dimensions augmentades, respectivament, en 1 cm i 2 cm respecte de les dimensions del primer. Si la suma dels tres perímetres és de 162 cm, quines són les dimensions de cada rectangle?

Answers

Resposta:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 14

Segon rectangle:

Amplada = 12

Longitud = 15

Tercer rectangle:

Amplada = 13

Longitud = 16

Explicació pas a pas:

Donat que:

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = x

Longitud = x + 3

2n rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió d'1 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 1

Longitud = x + 4

3r rectangle:

Augment de la dimensió de 2 cm respecte al primer rectangle;

Amplada = x + 2

Longitud = x + 5

Suma dels tres perímetres del rectangle:

Perímetre d'un rectangle: 2 (l + O)

Primer rectangle:

2 (x + x + 3) = 2 (2x + 3) = 4x + 6

2n:

2 (x + 1 + x + 4) = 2 (2x + 5) = 4x + 10

3r:

2 (x + 2 + x + 5) = 2 (2x + 7) = 4x + 14

Suma de perímetres = 162

(4x + 6 + 4x + 10 + 4x + 14) = 162

12x + 30 = 162

12x = 162 - 30

12x = 130

x = 11

Per tant,

Primer rectangle:

Amplada = 11

Longitud = 11 + 3 = 14

2n rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 1 = 12

Longitud = 11 + 4 = 15

3r rectangle:

Amplada = 11 + 2 = 13

Longitud = 11 + 5 = 16

A car dealership sold 84 cars in April. The dealership wants to increase the number of cars sold by 25% in May. How many cars will the dealership need to sell to reach their goal?

Answers

Answer: 105 Cars

Step-by-step explanation: To get an increase of 25% you need to multiply 84 by .25 then add the product of that to 84 to get 105

The number of cars dealership need to sell to reach their goal is, 105 cars

What is the percentage?

Percentage is a way to express a number as a fraction of 100. It is often used to represent ratios and proportions in a more convenient and understandable form, especially in financial and statistical contexts. For example, 50% means 50 per 100, or half of a given quantity. It is denoted using the symbol "%".

Given that,

A car dealership sold 84 cars in April,

The dealership wants to increase the number of cars sold by 25% in May

The number of cars dealership need to sell to reach their goal = ?

This represents a 25% increase, which is the same as adding one quarter to the original number of cars sold.

The car dealership wants to increase the number of cars sold by 25% in May, which means that they want to sell,

⇒ 84 x 1.25 = 105 cars

So, the dealership will need to sell 105 cars in May in order to reach their goal of increasing the number of cars sold by 25%.
