When Alexander moved into a new house, he planted two trees in his backyard. At

the time of planting, Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall. Each

year thereafter, Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per

year. Let A represent the height of Tree At years after being planted and let B

represent the height of Tree Bt years after being planted. Write an equation for each

situation, in terms of t, and determine which tree is taller after 3 years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The equations for each situation are

A = 36 + 6t

B = 21 + 9t

After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall at the time of planting; and

Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per  year after planting.

For Tree A,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 6t

A = 36 + 6t

For Tree B,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 9t

B = 21 + 9t

To determine, which tree is taller after 3 years,

t = 3

For Tree A

A = 36 + 6t

A = 36 + 6(3)

A = 36 + 18

A = 54 inches

For Tree B

B = 21 + 9t

B = 21 + 9(3)

B = 21 + 27

B = 48 inches

Hence, After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Using proportions, it is found that the expression that can be used to find the number of inches in 6 feet is given by:

6 feet = 6 x 12 inches = 72 inches.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the rule of three is given as follows:

1 foot - 12 inches.

6 feet - x inches.

Applying cross multiplication:

6 feet = 6 x 12 inches = 72 inches.

Answers

Answer:

X=15

Step-by-step explanation:

50−x=80−3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

50−x=80−3x

50+−x=80+−3x

−x+50=−3x+80

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−x+50+3x=−3x+80+3x

2x+50=80

Step 3: Subtract 50 from both sides.

2x+50−50=80−50

2x=30

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

Find the 7th term in the sequence -1,2,-4,8

Answers

Answer:   -64

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

Work Shown:

We have a geometric sequence

a = first term = -1

r = common ratio = (second term)/(first term) = 2/(-1) = -2

nth term

a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

Now plug in n = 7 to get the 7th term

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^(7-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^6

a(7) = -1*(64)

a(7) = -64

The first seven terms are

-1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, -64

To get each new term, we multiply the last term by the common ratio -2

First, we need to find the rule for the sequence.
There’s not really an exact way to do this, you just have to look for a pattern.
This sequence follows the following notation:
An= -(-2^(n-1))
Then, we can plug 7 in for n.
A7 = -(-2^(n-1))
A7=-(-2^6)
A7=-64

Complete Question

According to a survey, 74% of households said that they have never purchased organic fruits or vegetables. Suppose that this result is true for the current population of households. a. Let x be a binomial random variable that denotes the number of households in a random sample of 10 who have never purchased organic fruits or vegetables. What are the possible values that x can assume? Integers to . b. Find to 3 decimal places the probability that exactly 6 households in a random sample of 10 will say that they have never purchased organic fruits or vegetables. Use the binomial probability distribution formula. Probability

Answer:

a

The possible value of x is 0, 1 ,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

b

[tex]P(X = 6) =   0.158 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The proportion that stated that they have not purchased organic fruits or vegetables is [tex]p =0.74[/tex]

   The sample size is  n = 10

The possible value x can take is  0, 1 ,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Generally the probability that exactly 6  households in a random sample of 10 will say that they have never purchased organic fruits or vegetables is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(X = 6) =  ^nC_6 * p^{6}* (1-p)^{n-6}[/tex]

Here C denotes combination

So

        [tex]P(X = 6) =  ^{10}6 * (0.74)^{6}* (1-0.74)^{10-6}[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X = 6) =   0.158 [/tex]

for a perpendicular line.. just take the inverse of the slope... and change the sign.  so now our slope is - 4/3

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

87+86+x

T is the total scores

n is number of tests done = 3

T/n is greater than or equal to 90

To get minimum test

T/n = 90

T = 90*n

= 90n

We solve for x

Remember n = 3

90x3 = 270

270 = 87+86+x

270 = 173+x

X = 270-173

X = 97

X = 97

You didn't add a value in your part b question. I used 80 though.

T/n < 80

T<80n

80x3= 240

T<240

X<240-173

X<67

X has to be less than 67 so we conclude that if x <=67 b grade will be lost.

a. No one has lost more than one thousand dollars playing the lottery.
b. There is a student in this class who has chatted with exactly one other student.
c. No student in this class has sent e-mail to exactly two other students in this class.
d. One student has solved every exercise in this book.
e. No student has solved at least one exercise in every section of this book.

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Not p = ¬p

P or q = p ∨ q  

P and q = p ∧ q

If p then q = p → q

P if and only if q = p ↔ q

Existential quantification:  There exist an element x in the domain such that p(x).

Universal quantification: p(x) for all values of x in the domain.

(a)  No one has lost more than one thousand dollars playing the lottery.

Let A(x) means ‘x has lost more than one dollars playing the lottery’

It can also write as “there does not exists a person that lost more than one thousand dollars playing”

                     ¬Ǝ x A (x)

Negation of this statement:  

By using double negation law:

                               ¬ [¬Ǝ x A (x)]  ≡ Ǝ x A(x)

(b) There is a student in this class who has chatted with exactly one other student.

Let B(x,y) means “ x has chatted with y” and domain is all students of this class.

We can write the given sentence as:

“There is a student in the class who has chatted with one student and this student is not himself and for all people the student chatted with, this student has to be himself or the one student he chatted with”

Ǝ x Ǝ y[B ( x, y) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ ∀ z (B(x,y) → ( z = x v z = y))]

The negation:

               ¬ Ǝ x Ǝ y[B ( x, y) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ ∀ z (B(x ,y) → ( z = x v z = y))]

By using De Morgan’s law for quantifiers:

≡∀x ¬ Ǝ y [B ( x, y) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ ∀ z (B(x ,y) → ( z = x v z = y))]

≡∀x ∀ y [B ( x, y) ∧ x ≠ y ∧ ∀ z (B(x ,y) → ( z = x v z = y))]

De Morgan’s law:

≡∀x ∀ y [¬  B ( x, y) v  ¬ ( x ≠ y) v ∀ z (B(x ,y) → ( z = x v z = y))]

By using De Morgan’s law for quantifiers:

≡∀x ∀ y [¬  B ( x, y) v  x=  y  v Ǝ z¬ (B(x ,z) → ( z = x v z = y))]

(c)  No student in this class has sent e-mail to exactly two other students in this class

Let c(x, y) means “ x has sent email to y” and the domain is all student of class.

Using double negation law:

Ǝ x Ǝ y Ǝ z [c(x, y) ∧c(x ,z) ∧ x≠ y ∧ x ≠z ∧ y ≠ z ∀ w (c(x,w) → ( w = x v w = y v w = z)]

There is a student in class that has sent email to exaxtly two other students in class.

(d)  One student has solved every exercise in this book

Let D(x , y) mean student x has solved exercise y in this book.

The negation:  

Ǝx∀yD(x,y)

Use De Morgan’s law for qualifiers:

    ≡∀ x Ǝ y ¬D(x, y)  

(e). No student has solved at least one exercise in every section of this book.

Let E(x, y,z) be student x has solved exercise y in section z of this book.

We can write “there does not exist a student that solved at least one exercise in all sections of this book”

¬Ǝ x Ǝ y ∀ Z E(x, y, z)  

Negation:

                      ≡¬ [¬ Ǝ x Ǝ y ∀ Z E(x, y, z)  ]

Use double negation law:
