Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

One pound of grapes costs $1.55. To find the amount x of 3.5 pounds of grapes we would have to multiply 1.55 by 3.5. This would give us the amount x we would have to pay for them.

If we examine the 4 equivalent radios shown in the pictures, we will see that the first one correctly shows this equivalency.

$\frac{1.55}{1} = \frac{x}{3.5}$

The other 3 pictures show radios that would give us x = 3.5 / 1.55 (second and third) or x = 1.55 / 3.5 (fourth picture).

Therefore, the correct answer would be a)

1.55 / 1 = x / 3.5....$ 1.55 to 1 lb = $ x to 3.5 lbs

first one <==

it could have also been : 1 / 1.55 = 3.5 / x...but that is not an answer choice

Let C be the closed, piecewise smooth curve formed by traveling in straight lines between the points (-2,1), (-2,-3), (1,-1) , (

Greeley [361]

The given points are the vertices of the quadrilateral

$Q=\left\{(x,y)\mid-2\le x\le1,\dfrac{2x-5}3\le y\le\dfrac{4x+11}3\right\}$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is

$\displaystyle\int_C2xy\,\mathrm dx+xy^2\,\mathrm dy=\iint_Q\frac{\partial(xy^2)}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(2xy)}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dA$

$=\displaystyle\int_{-2}^1\int_{(2x-5)/3}^{(4x+11)/3}y^2-2x\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{61}$

A town has a population of 14,000 and grows 5% every year. What will be the population after 14 years, to the nearest whole numb

hammer [34]

Answer:

23,800 people

Step-by-step explanation:

what is 5 % of 14,000- 700( 0.05 times 14,000)

700 times 14 is 9,800

9800 + 14000 is

Determine the area (in units2) of the region between the two curves by integrating over the x-axis. y = x2 − 24 and y = 1

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The area of the region between the two curves by integration over the x-axis is 9.9 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

This case represents a definite integral, in which lower and upper limits are needed, which corresponds to the points where both intersect each other. That is:

$x^{2} - 24 = 1$

Given that resulting expression is a second order polynomial of the form $x^{2} - a^{2}$ , there are two real and distinct solutions. Roots of the expression are:

$x_{1} = -5$ and $x_{2} = 5$ .

Now, it is also required to determine which part of the interval $(x_{1}, x_{2})$ is equal to a number greater than zero (positive). That is:

$x^{2} - 24 > 0$

$x^{2} > 24$

$x < -4.899$ and $x > 4.899$ .

Therefore, exists two sub-intervals: $[-5, -4.899]$ and $\left[4.899,5\right]$ . Besides, $x^{2} - 24 > y = 1$ in each sub-interval. The definite integral of the region between the two curves over the x-axis is:

$A = \int\limits^{-4.899}_{-5} [{1 - (x^{2}-24)]} \, dx + \int\limits^{4.899}_{-4.899} \, dx + \int\limits^{5}_{4.899} [{1 - (x^{2}-24)]} \, dx$

$A = \int\limits^{-4.899}_{-5} {25-x^{2}} \, dx + \int\limits^{4.899}_{-4.899} \, dx + \int\limits^{5}_{4.899} {25-x^{2}} \, dx$

$A = 25\cdot x \right \left|\limits_{-5}^{-4.899} -\frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{3}\left|\limits_{-5}^{-4.899} + x\left|\limits_{-4.899}^{4.899} + 25\cdot x \right \left|\limits_{4.899}^{5} -\frac{1}{3}\cdot x^{3}\left|\limits_{4.899}^{5}$

$A = 2.525 -2.474+9.798 + 2.525 - 2.474$

$A = 9.9\,units^{2}$

The area of the region between the two curves by integration over the x-axis is 9.9 square units.

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(k⋅x), use the graph to determine the value of k.

yan [13]

Answer:

The value of k is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) passes through the points (0,4) and (-6,-2)

So the equation of the function is $\frac{y-4}{4-(-2)} = \frac{x-0}{0-(-6)}$

⇒ y = x + 4 ....... (1)

Again the function g(x) passes through the points (0,4) and (-2,-2).

Therefore, the equation of g(x) will be $\frac{y-4}{4-(-2)} =\frac{x-0}{0-(-2)}$

⇒ y = 3x + 4

Therefore, g(x) = 3x + 4 = f(3x) {from equation (1).

So, the value of k is 3. (Answer)

A list has 10 numbers. Each number is a 1, 2, or 3. The average is 2 and the SD is 0. What is the list?

OLga [1]

Answer:

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the standard deviation = 0

And the mean of the number = 2

If X is the sum of all the numbers, then

X/10 = 2

Cross multiply and make X the subject of formula

X = 2 × 10 = 20

The sum of the numbers will be 20

The number will be

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3

The sum of the above numbers is equal to 20 and the average value of the numbers is equal to 2.
