What is made up of quantities and the operations performed on them

1 answer:

7 0

Algebra is made up of quantities and the operations performed on them are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Algebra is a branch of mathematics. It concerns itself with operations on sets of numbers or other elements. The sets of numbers and elements are represented by symbols. Algebra can be seen as a generalisation of arithmetic. Letters are substituted for numbers in Algebra. For example, x + 2x will always equal 3x no matter what values the symbol x represents. The algebraic can also include polynomial functions of one or more of the variables.

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past

Volgvan

Answer: We reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

We claim that

Null hypothesis : $H_0:\mu\geq 50000$

Alternate hypothesis : $H_1:\mu$

There is 5% level of significance.

$\bar{X}=46800\\\\\sigma=9800\\\\n=29$

So, the test statistic would be

$z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{9800}{\sqrt{29}}}\\\\z=-1.75$

Since alternate hypothesis is left tailed test.

So, p-value = P(z≤-2.31)=0.0401

And the P-value =0.0401 is less than the given level of significance i.e. 5% 0.05.

So, we reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

On this graph, 4:00 p.m. occurs at 16 hours after midnight, and 6:00 p.m. occurs at 18 hours after midnight. Which statements ar

KatRina [158]

Answer:

TRUE OPTIONS ARE:

"The temperature increased until 4:00 p.m. "

"The temperature decreased after 6:00 p.m. "

"The temperature increased more quickly between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than before 12:00 p.m."

Step-by-step explanation:

graph attached and complete question below:

Which statements are true about the temperatures Luis recorded on the graph? Check all that apply.

The temperature increased until 4:00 p.m.
The temperature was not recorded between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The temperature decreased after 6:00 p.m.
The temperature increased and then decreased before holding constant.
The temperature increased more quickly between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than before 12:00 p.m.

Until 1600 hours, the graph increases, so we can say temperature increased until 4.00 pm (FIRST OPTION TRUE).

From 1600 to 1800 hours (4 - 6pm), the temperature stayed same (horizontal line). This doesn't mean the temperature wasn't recorded. (2nd OPTION FALSE).

After 1800 hours (6pm), the line goes downward, so temperature decreased after 6 pm. (3rd OPTION TRUE).

If you look at the temperature graph, we can see temperature increased, then increased more, then constant, then decreased. Thus the 4th option isnt true. (4th OPTION FALSE).

Before 12, the increase isn't as sharp as after 12. After 12 temperature increase has more slope, so this increase is more. (5th OPTION TRUE).

a recipe uses 1 1/4 cups of milk to make 10 servings. if the same amount of milk is used for each serving, how many servings can

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$1\frac{1}{4}$ cups of milk make 10 servings

$1\frac{1}{4}$ can also be written as 1.25

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 1.25 : 10

1 gallon = 16 cups

Let,

x be the number of servings made from 1 gallon

Ratio of cups of milk to servings = 16 : x

This is a direct proportion

1.25 : 10 :: 16 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

10*16 = 1.25x

160 = 1.25x

1.25x=160

Dividing both sides by 1.25

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25}=\frac{160}{1.25}\\x=128$

Hence,

128 servings can be made using 1 gallon of milk.
