Answer:

The solution is $x>\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound inequality is an inequality that combines two simple inequalities.

We want to solve for x the following compound inequality

$3x-91>-87 \:{OR} \:{21x-17>25}$

Solving the first inequality for x, we get:

$3x-91+91>-87+91\\\\3x>4\\\\x>\frac{4}{3}$

Solving the second inequality for x, we get:

$21x-17+17>25+17\\\\21x>42\\\\x>2$

So our compound inequality can be expressed as the simple inequality:

$x>\frac{4}{3}$

The graph of a compound inequality with an "or" represents the union of the graphs of the inequalities. A number is a solution to the compound inequality if the number is a solution to at least one of the inequalities.

Graphically, we get

Answer:

x > 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first inequality can be solved this way ...

3x -91 > -87

3x > 4 . . . . . . . add 91

x > 4/3 . . . . . . divide by 3

The second inequality has solution ...

21x -17 > 25

21x > 42 . . . . . . add 17

x > 2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 21

The solution set is the union of these overlapping solutions, so will be equal to the first solution:

x > 4/3

Ahat [919]

Bank A:
A = 4500(1 + (0.09 × 6)) = 6930
A = $ 6,930.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 4,500.00
at a rate of 9% per year.
for 6 years is $ 6,930.00.

Bank B:
A = 4500(1 + (0.11 × 4)) = 6480
A = $ 6,480.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest,
from simple interest on a principal of $ 4,500.00
at a rate of 11% per year
for 4 years is $ 6,480.00.

So bank B would charge the least amount of interest.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. One salmon starts 2.00m from a waterfall that is 0.55m tall and ju

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: 6.2 m/s

Explanation:

1) This is a projectile motion (parabolic)

2) Velocity:

i) initial velocity = V₀

ii) Horizontal component:

V₀x = V₀ cos α

The horizontal velocity is constant, so Vx = V₀x

ii) Vertical component:

V₀y = V₀ sin α

The vertical component is linear with acceleration = g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

Vy = V₀y - gt = V₀ sin α - gt

3) Displacement equations

i) Horizontal displacment:

x = V₀ cosα t

ii) Vertical displacement:

y = V₀ sin α t - g t² / 2

y ≈ V₀ sin α t - 4.9 t²

4) Solution

i) x = V₀ cosα t = V₀ cos(32°) t = 2.00 m ← salmon starts 2.00m from a waterfall

⇒ V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) t ]

ii) y = V₀ sin α t - 4.9 t² = V₀ sin(32°) t - 4.9 t²

iii) Replace V₀ with 2 / [cos(32°) t ]

y = sin(32°) × 2 / [cos(32°) t ] × t - 4.9t² = 2 tan(32°) - 4.9t²

iv) Use jump's height (y = 0.55m) and solve

⇒ 0.55 = 2 tan(32°) - 4.9t²

t² = [2 tan(32°) - 0.55 ] / 4.9 = 0.143 s²

⇒ t = √ (0.143s²) = 0.38 s

v) Use V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) t ] to find V₀

V₀ = 2 / [cos(32°) (0.38) ] = 6.2 m/s

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to {y=-0.75x}y=−0.75xy, equals, minus, 0, point, 75, x and that passes through the

andrew-mc [135]

A straight line parallel to another is one that has the same slope. The generic equation of a line can be written as y-yo = m (x-xo). If we look for a parallel line that passes through the point (8.0). We should look for a line with the values m = -0.75, xo = 8, yo = 0. Substituting in the generic equation, we have that the line sought is y = -0.75 (x-8)

Find the correlation coefficient of the line of best fit for the points (-3,-40), (1,12), (5,72), (7,137). Explain how you guy y

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

r = 0.9825; good correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

One formula for the correlation coefficient is

$r = \dfrac{n\sum{xy} - \sum{x} \sum{y}}{\sqrt{n\left [\sum{x}^{2}-\left (\sum{x}\right )^{2}\right]\left [\sum{y}^{2}-\left (\sum{y}\right )^{2}\right]}}$

The calculation is not difficult, but it is tedious.

1. Calculate the intermediate numbers

We can display them in a table.

x y xy x² y²

-3 -40 120 9 1600

1 12 12 1 144

5 72 360 25 5184

7 137 959 49 18769

Σ = 10 181 1451 84 25697

2. Calculate the correlation coefficient

$r = \dfrac{n\sum{xy} - \sum{x} \sum{y}}{\sqrt{\left [n\sum{x}^{2}-\left (\sum{x}\right )^{2}\right]\left [n\sum{y}^{2}-\left (\sum{y}\right )^{2}\right]}}\\\\= \dfrac{4\times 1451 - 10\times 181}{\sqrt{[4\times 84 - 10^{2}][4\times25697 - 181^{2}]}}\\\\= \dfrac{5804 - 1810}{\sqrt{[336 - 100][102788 - 32761]}}\\\\= \dfrac{3994}{\sqrt{236\times70027}}\\\\= \dfrac{3994}{\sqrt{16526372}}\\\\= \dfrac{3994}{4065}\\\\= \mathbf{0.9825}$

The closer the value of r is to +1 or -1, the better the correlation is. The values of x and y are highly correlated.

A thin sheet of ice is in the form of a circle. If the ice is melting in such a way that the area of the sheet is decreasing at

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle is:

A(c) =π*x² where x is a radius of the circle

Applying differentiation in relation to time we get:

dA(c)/dt = π*2*x* dx/dt

In this equation we know:

dA(c)/dt = 0,5 m²/sec

And are looking for dx/dt then

0,5 = 2*π*x*dx/dt when the area of the sheet is 12 m² (1)

When A(c) = 12 m² x = ??

A(c) = 12 = π*x² ⇒ 12 = 3.14* x² ⇒ 12/3.14 = x²

x² = 3,82 ⇒ x = √3,82 ⇒ x = 1,954 m

Finally plugging ths value in equation (1)

0,5 = 6,28*1,954*dx/dt

dx/dt = 0,5 /12.28

dx/dt = 0,04 m/sec
