If the x- and y-values in each pair of a set of ordered pairs are interchanged, the resulting set of ordered pairs is known as t

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Inverse of a function

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x- and y-values in each pair of a set of ordered pairs are interchanged, the resulting set of ordered pairs is known as the inverse of a function.

For example, given the following function:

y = 2x

If x=0 → y= 0

If x=1 → y= 2

If x=2 → y= 4

Now, if we find the inverse of the function:

y = 2x → x = 2y → y = x/2

Now:

If x=0 → y= 0

If x=2 → y= 1

If x=4 → y= 2

Comparing both cases, you will notice that the ordered pairs are effectively interchanged.

The width of a triangle is six more than twice the height. The area of the triangle is 88in2. Find the height and base of the tr

malfutka [58]

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}$

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the statement data we have:

$b = 6 + 2h$

Substituting we have:

$88 = \frac {(6 + 2h) * h} {2}\\176 = 6h + 2h ^ 2\\2h ^ 2 + 6h-176 = 0$

We divide between 2 on both sides:

$h ^ 2 + 3h-88 = 0$

We factor by looking for two numbers that, when multiplied, are obtained -88 and when added together, +3 is obtained.

These numbers are +11 and -8.

$(h + 11) (h-8) = 0$

We have two roots:

$h = -11\\h = 8$

We choose the positive value.

Thus, the base of the triangle is: $b = 6 + 2 (8) = 22$

Answer:

The base of the triangle is 22 units.

Mrs. Beach bought shells at a gift shop. The red shells (r) were $0.75 each, and the white shells (w) were $0.49 each. The total

gladu [14]

3 red shells equals $2.25 and 5 white shells equal 2.45. Add those together and you get $4.70.
So 3 red and 5 white shells would be the next guess.

A brochure from the department of public safety in a northern state recommends that motorists should carry 12 items (flashlights

scoray [572]

Answer:

$Mean = 6.07$

$Median = 7$

$Mode = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9$

$n = 15$

Solving (a): The mean

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

This gives:

$Mean = \frac{5+ 3+ 7+ 8+ 0+ 1+ 0+ 5+ 12+ 10+ 7+ 6+ 7+ 11+ 9}{15}$

$Mean = \frac{91}{15}$

$Mean = 6.07$

Solving (b): The median

Sort the data in ascending order:

$Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9$

$Sorted: 0\ 0\ 1\ 3\ 5\ 5\ 6\ 7\ 7\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10\ 11\ 12$

The median is:

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{15 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{16}{2}th$

$Median = 8th$

The 8th item on the sorted dataset is 7; So:

$Median = 7$

Solving (c): The mode

$Mode = 7$

Because it has a frequency of 3 (more than any other element of the dataset).

Find the dimensions of a deck which will have railings on only three sides. There is 28 m of railing available and the deck must

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.
