A knife is twice the cost of a spoon. 8 spoons and 12 knives cost ?46.08. Work out the cost of 1 knife.

1 answer:

4 0

Let Rs.x and Rs.y be the cost of a knife and a spoon respectively.
From question,
x = 2y --- (1)
and,
12x + 8y = 46.08
=> 12×2y + 8y = 46.08
=> 24y + 8y = 46.08
=> 32y = 46.08
=> y = 46.08/32
=> y = 1.44
putting y = 1.44 in (1)
=> x = 2×1.44
=> x = 2.88
Therefore, cost of a knife is Rs 2.88

WITCHER [35]

<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>

Which transformations have been applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to produce the graph of g(x) = –5x2 + 100x – 450? Select three

RSB [31]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=x^{2}$

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The vertex is the origin (0,0)

$g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The first thing to note is that fx) is a parabola that opens up and g(x) opens down, so a reflection across the x-axis must have been applied.

Find the vertex of g(x)

Convert to vertex form

$g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450$

Complete the square

$g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x)-450$

$g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)-450+500$

$g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)+50$

$g(x)=-5(x-10)^{2}+50$

The vertex is the point (10,50)

To translate the vertex of (0,0) to (10,50)

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ------> (x+10,y+50)

That means ----> The translation is 10 units at right and 50 units up

therefore

The transformations are

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis

A brewery produces cans of beer that are supposed to contain exactly 12 ounces. But owing to the inevitable variation in the fil

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$T \sim N (\mu = 6*12=72 , \sigma= \sqrt{6} *0.3=0.735)$

$P(T \leq 72) = P(Z< \frac{72-72}{0.735}) = P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solutio to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of beer in each can of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(12,0.3)$

Where $\mu=12$ and $\sigma=0.3$

For this case we select 6 cans and we are interested in the probability that the total would be less or equal than 72 ounces. So we need to find a distribution for the total.

The definition of sample mean is given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n} = \frac{T}{n}$
