A candy maker estimated that she had 2500 bags of candy. She had put prizes in 92 of them. She collected a sample in which there

were 7 bags of candy with prizes. Approximately how many bags of candy were in the sample the candy maker collected?

She put prizes in 92 out of 2500 bags. 92/200=0.46.
If 7 bags had candy out of a sample, there were 7/0.46=approximately 15.217 bags of candy in the sample. Or you can say approximately 15.

Answer:

190 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Out of 2500 bags of candy there are 92 bags of candies with prizes,

So, the ratio of bags with prizes and the total bags = $\frac{92}{2500}$

Let out of x bags of candies, there are 7 bags with prizes,

So, the ratio of bags with prizes and the total bags = $\frac{7}{x}$

$\implies \frac{92}{2500}=\frac{7}{x}$

$\implies 92x=17500$

$\implies x = 190.21739\approx 190$

The formula s = StartRoot StartFraction S A Over 6 EndFraction EndRoot gives the length of the side, s, of a cube with a surface

never [62]

Answer:

$2\sqrt{2}\ ft\ longer$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area Of A Cube </u>

Suppose a cube with side length s, the area of one side is

$A_s=s^2$

Since the cube has 6 sides, the total area is

$A=6A_s=6s^2$

But if we have the area, we can solve the above formula for s to get

$A=6s^2$

$\displaystyle s=\sqrt{\frac{A}{6}}$

We have two different cubes with areas 1,200 square inches and 768 square inches. Let's compute their side lengths

$\displaystyle s_1=\sqrt{\frac{1,200}{6}}=\sqrt{200}$

$\displaystyle s_1=10\sqrt{2}\ ft$

$\displaystyle s_2=\sqrt{\frac{768}{6}}=\sqrt{128}$

$\displaystyle s_2=8\sqrt{2} ft$

The difference between them is

$10\sqrt{2}\ ft-8\sqrt{2}\ ft=2\sqrt{2}\ ft\approx 2.83\ ft$

The side of the cube with area 1,200 square inches is $2\sqrt{2}\ ft$ longer then the side of the cube with area 768 square inches

What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$x=-2.38$

$x=-4.62$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is $(2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0$

<em>We let $u=2x+3$ , so the equation becomes:</em>

$u^2+8u+11=0$

Where $a=1, b=8, c=11$

Putting it in the quadratic formula, we have:

<u>Quadratic formula:</u> $\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Substituting we have: $\frac{-8+-\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}\\=\frac{-8+-\sqrt{20} }{2}\\=\frac{-8+-2\sqrt{5} }{2}\\=-4+\sqrt{5}, -4-\sqrt{5} }$

<em>We let $u=2x+3$ , so x is:</em>

<em> $u=2x+3\\(-4+\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{5}}{2}=-2.38$ </em>

<em>and</em>

<em> $u=2x+3\\(-4-\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}=-4.62$ </em>

The solutions of the equation is $x=-2.38$ (rounded to 2 decimal places), and $x=-4.62$ (rounded to 2 decimal places)

In ΔXYZ, x = 71 cm, y = 91 cm and z=71 cm. Find the area of ΔXYZ to the nearest square centimeter.

anyanavicka [17]

since its an isoscelies trangle, they probably wanted you to do base times height

make a 71-91/2-x x triangle

where x is the height of the triangle to the base 91 and 71 is the hypothenuse

and then do bh/2

or

use heron's formula

s= 71+91/2

area= $\sqrt{(71+91/2)(71+91/2-71)(71+91/2-71)(71+91/2-91)}$

have fun solving that

Which will result in a difference of squares? (negative 7 x + 4)(negative 7 x + 4) (negative 7 x + 4)(4 minus 7 x) (negative 7 x

nevsk [136]

Answer:

(negative 7 x + 4)(negative 7 x minus 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider two real numbers a and b. A difference of squares involving a and b is usually given as;

$a^{2}-b^{2}$

The difference of the two squares above can be factored to yield;

$(a-b)(a+b)$

This implies that in order to have the difference of squares we must have a product involving the difference and the sum of the numbers.

The expression;

(negative 7 x + 4)(negative 7 x minus 4) can also be written as ( 4 - 7x) ( -4 - 7x)

( 4 - 7x) ( -4 - 7x) = ( 4 - 7x) (-1( 4 + 7x)) = -1 *( 4 - 7x) ( 4 + 7x)

Expanding the last expression yields;

-1 (16 + 28x -28x - 49x^2) = -1 (16 - 49x^2) = 49x^2 - 16 which is in deed a difference of squares

Prove tan3A= (cos(2A)-cos(4A))/ (sin(4A)- Sin(2A)) ...?

aivan3 [116]

The solution to the problem is as follows:

<span>cos2A - cos4A = -2 sin(6A/2).sin(-2A/2) = +2 sin(3A).sinA

and

sin4A - sin2A = 2 cos(6A/2).sin(2A/2) = 2 cos(3A).sinA

Hence RHS = (cos(2A)-cos(4A))/ (sin(4A)- Sin(2A)) = sin 3A / cos 3A = tan 3A = LHS
