We went to the market to buy some fruit. We decided to buy some apples, strawberries, and oranges. If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes o

Ksivusya [100]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of apples bought be x

Amount of strawberries bought be y and;

amount of oranges bought be z

If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30, then this will be expressed as;

2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1

If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90, this will be expressed as:

4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2

If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70, this is expressed as:

5x+2y+x = 13.70 .......... 3

Solving the three equations simultaneously:

2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1

4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2

5x+2y+z = 13.70 .......... 3

Reduce the number of equations

multiply equation 1 by 2 and subtract from equation 2

equation 1 * 2 will give:

4x+6y+8z = 30.6 ........... 4

eqn (4)-eqn(2)

6y-y + 8z-2z = 30.6-10.90

5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5

Also multiply equation 2 by 5 and eqn 5 by 4 and subtract from each other.

eqn(2)* 5 will give:

20x+5y+10z = 54.5 .......... *

eqn(3) * 4 will give

20x+8y+4z = 54.8.......**

Subtsrct ** from *

8y-3y+(4z-10z)= 54.8-54.5

5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6

Equate 5 and 6 and solve:

5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5

5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6

subtract:

6z+6z = 19.7+0.3

12z = 20

z = 20/12

z = 1.67

Substitute z = 1.67 into eqn 6

5y-6(1.67) = 0.3

5y - 10 = 0.3

5y = 10.3

y = 10.3/5

y = 2.06

Substitute z = 1.67 and y = 2.06 into equation 1

From 1:

2x+3y+4z = 15.30

2x+3(2.06)+4(1.67) = 15.30

2x+6.18+6.68 = 15.30

2x+12.86 = 15.30

2x = 15.30-12.86

2x = 2.44

x = 2.44/2

x = 1.22

<em>Therefore 1 apple costs $1.22, 1 strawberry costs $2.06 and 1 orange costs $1.67</em>

A person is watching a boat from the top of a lighthouse. The boat is approaching the lighthouse directly. When first noticed, t

xxMikexx [17]

If we let
x as the distance traveled by the boat
y as the distance between the boat and the lighthouse.

Then, we have:
tan 18°33' = 200 / (x + y)
and
tan 51°33' = 200 / y

Solving for y in the second equation:
y = 200 / tan 51°33'

Rearranging the first equation and substituting y
x = 200 / tan 18°33' - 200 / tan 55°33'
x = 458.81 ft

Therefore, the boat traveled 458.81 ft before it stopped.

Given ΔADC and ΔAEB, What is AE?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

AE = 43.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given question image, it can be seen that in the $\triangle ADC \text { and }\triangle AEB :$

1. $\angle B = \angle C = 90^\circ$

2. $\angle A$ is common to both the triangles.

3. Two angles are common, so the third angle $\angle E$ is also equal to $\angle D$ .

All the three angles in the $\triangle ADC \text { and }\triangle AEB$ are equal to each other, hence the triangles are similar.

As per the property of similar triangles, the ratio of their sides will be equal.

AB : AC = AE : AD

AC = 88 units

BC = 55 units

AB = AC - AB = 33 units

Let side AE = $x$ units

Side AD = AE + ED

So, AD = $x + 72$

Using the ratio:

$\dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{AE}{AD}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{33}{55} = \dfrac{x}{x+72}\\\Rightarrow 55x = 33 \times 72\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{3\times 72}{5}\\\Rightarrow x = 43.2\ units$

So, AE = 43.2 units

A poll stated that 32% of those polled think the economy is getting worse. An economist wanted to check this claim so she survey

zysi [14]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.30 -0.32}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{750}}}=-1.174$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =2*P(z$

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level given we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion is not significantly different from 0.32 or 32 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=750 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.30$ estimated proportion of people who thought the economy is getting worse

$p_o=0.32$ is the value that we want to verify

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to check if the true proportion of interest is equal to 0.32 or not.:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.32$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.32$

The statistic would be given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing we got:

$z=\frac{0.30 -0.32}{\sqrt{\frac{0.32(1-0.32)}{750}}}=-1.174$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =2*P(z$

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level given we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion is not significantly different from 0.32 or 32 %
