Peter= x
Phil=3x
Implies that 4x=48 which means x=12
Implies that Phil has 36 rocks
36-12=
24 more rocks

Let x = the number of marbles for Phil
Then 3x = the number of marbles for Peter
Together they have 3x+x=48 or 4x=48 and x=12
So Phil has x = 12 marbles and Peter has 3x, let x = 12, 3(12) = 36 marbles.
Peter has 24 more marbles than Phil.

David made a class banner out of a large rectangular piece of paper. He cut a
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

100 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the banner is equal to the area of the initial rectangle minus the area of the cutout triangle.

The rectangle has a height of 8 inches and width of 14 inches, so its area is:

A = (8 in) (14 in) = 112 in²

The triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 3 inches, so its area is:

A = ½ (8 in) (3 in) = 12 in²

So the area of the banner is 112 in² − 12 in² = 100 in².

Using the power series methods solve the 1st order Lane-Emden Equation:
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 2y + xy = 0

Hence, 2y + xy = 0 ---------(1)

Differentiating equation (1) n times by Leibnitz theorem, gives:

2y(n) + xy(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

Let x = 0: 2y(n) + ny(n - 1) = 0

2y(n) = -ny(n - 1)

∴ y(n) = -ny(n - 1)/2 for n ≥ 1

For n = 1: y = 0

For n = 2: y(1) = -y

For n = 3: -3y(2)/2

For n = 4: -2y(3)

How do you use a number line to solve 235+123
Novosadov [1.4K]
<span>Number line refers to a mathematical process of solving the equation with the use of lines.
=> 235 + 123
Starting from 0 you count 1 up to 235. Then starting from 235 you additionally count another 123.
Then from zero start counting the total number to the line you stopped when adding 123 to 235.

This simply equals to
=> 235 + 123
=> 358.

Automobile mechanics conduct diagnostic tests on 150 new cars of a particular make and model to determine the extent to which th
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

99% Confidence interval: (0.185,0.375)                                                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 150

Number of cars that have faulty catalytic converters, x = 42

\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{42}{150} = 0.28

99% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

Putting the values, we get:

0.28\pm 2.58(\sqrt{\frac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}) = 0.28\pm 0.095\\\\=(0.185,0.375)

The​ 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of new cars with faulty catalytic converters is​ (0.185,0.375)
