Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

Answer:

amount of $8 tea = 35 lb

amount of $6 tea = 15 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of $8 tea

Then 50 - x =  amount of $6 tea

Total cost of $8 tea is = 8x

Total cost of $6 tea = 6(50 - x)

Total cost of $7.40 tea = 7.4(50)

Total cost of $8 tea + Total cost of $6 tea = Total cost of $7.40 tea

8x + 6(50 - x) = 7.4(50)

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x = 70

x = 35

50 - x = 15

Explain what it means to have a correlation in a scatterplot.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

A correlation exists in a scatter plot if there is a general trend in the outputs as inputs increase. If the outputs generally increase in value, then there is a positive correlation. If the outputs generally decrease in value, then there is a negative correlation.

A group of college DJs surveyed students to find out what music to plan for their upcoming parties. Thirty percent of the studen
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

A - The proportion of students that like trance music but not dubstep is 10%

B - The proportion of students that like either dubstep or trance is 40%

C - The proportion of students that like neither trance music nor dubstep is 60%

D - The proportion of students that didn’t select any of the music options available on the survey was 40%

E - The proportion of students that preferred either dubstep or trance is calculated by: P(D) + P(T) - P(D and T)

F - The conditional probability that a student likes dubstep, given that he or she likes trance music, is 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(D)=the students preferred dubstep=30%

P(T)=the students selected trance music=25%

P(H)=the students selected house music=20%

P(D and T)=the students liked both dubstep and trance=15%

<em><u>A - The proportion of students that like trance music but not dubstep is:</u></em>

P(T) - P(D and T)=25%-15%=10%

<u><em>B - The proportion of students that like either dubstep or trance is:</em></u>

P(D) + P(T) - P(D and T) =30%+25%-15% = 40%

<u><em>C - The proportion of students that like neither trance music nor dubstep is</em></u>

100% - (P(D) + P(T) - P(D and T) ) =60%

<u><em>D - The proportion of students that didn’t select any of the music options available on the survey was:</em></u>

100% - (P(H)+P(D) + P(T) - P(D and T) ) =40%

<u><em>F - The conditional probability that a student likes dubstep, given that he or she likes trance music, is:</em></u>

\frac{P(D and T)}{P(T)} =\frac{0.15}{0.25} =0.60

A vertical cylinder is leaking water at a rate of 4m3/sec. If the cylinder has a height of 10m and a radius of 2m, at what rate
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Therefore the rate change of height is  \frac{1}{\pi} m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a vertical cylinder is leaking water at rate of 4 m³/s.

It means the rate change of volume is 4 m³/s.

\frac{dV}{dt}=4 \ m^3/s

The radius of the cylinder remains constant with respect to time, but the height of the water label changes with respect to time.

The height of the cylinder be h(say).

The volume of a cylinder is V=\pi r^2 h

                                                 =( \pi \times 2^2\times h)\ m^3

\therefore V= 4\pi h

Differentiating with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}

Putting the value \frac{dV}{dt}

\Rightarrow 4\pi \frac{dh}{dt}=4

\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{4}{4\pi}

\Rightarrow \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{\pi}

The rate change of height does not depend on the height.

Therefore the rate change of height is  \frac{1}{\pi} m/s.

Why might algebra tiles not be a good tool to use to factor x2 + 18x + 80? Explain.
Julli [10]
Algebra tiles would not be a good tool to use to factor the trinomial because you would need to drag an x-squared tile, 18 x-tiles, and 80 plus tiles. That is a total of 99 tiles. It would take a lot of time to drag that many tiles on the board and there might not be enough space to hold all of them. You would also need to determine how to arrange all those tiles to make a rectangle. Since 80 is a multiple of 10, you might recognize that 10 and 8 are the factors that add to 18, which would give you the values to use in the X method.

Which shows one way to determine the factors of 12x3 – 2x2 + 18x – 3 by grouping?
Debora [2.8K]

Option A

2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1) is one way to determine the factors of 12x^3-2x^2+18x-3 by grouping

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Factoring by grouping means that you will group terms with common factors before factoring

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

12x^3-2x^2+18x-3

Group the first two terms together and then the last two terms together.

(12x^3-2x^2)+(18x-3)

We can see that 2x^2 is common in first two terms

And 3 is common in last two terms

Factor them out

(12x^3-2x^2)+(18x-3) = 2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1)

2x^2(6x-1) + 3(6x-1)

Thus option A is correct
