A landscaping company charges a $12 fee to make a house call plus an hourly rate for labor. If the total bill for a job that tak

es 2.5 hours comes to $95.75, write an equation that can be used to solve for the hourly labor rate. Use r to represent the rate.

Answer:

y=41,8 . x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using the linear function formula:

y=a.x+b

Where:

y= total bill

x= number of hours worked

b=fee

We have to find "a" in order to have the complete equation. We know that the constant fee (b) is 12$, and that if the hours worked are of 2.5 the total bill is $95.75, so we supplant on the equation and isolate "a".

95.75=a. 2,5 + 12

95.75-12=a. 2,5

95.75-12=a. 2,5

83.75=a. 2,5

83.75 : 2=a

83.75 : 2=a

41,8=a

So now we have the complete equation:

y=41,8 . x + 12

In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion. In a random sample of eight Quebecois, find t
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics = 0.995 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion.

The Binomial distribution probability is given by;

 P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} for x = 0,1,2,3,.......

Here, n = number of trials which is 8 in our case

         r = no. of success which is at least 5 in our case

         p = probability of success which is probability of Roman Catholic of

                 0.90 in our case

So, P(X >= 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)

= \binom{8}{5}0.9^{5}(1-0.9)^{8-5} + \binom{8}{6}0.9^{6}(1-0.9)^{8-6} + \binom{8}{7}0.9^{7}(1-0.9)^{8-7} + \binom{8}{8}0.9^{8}(1-0.9)^{8-8}

= 56 * 0.9^{5} * (0.1)^{3} + 28 * 0.9^{6} * (0.1)^{2} + 8 * 0.9^{7} * (0.1)^{1} + 1 * 0.9^{8}

= 0.995

Therefore, probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics is 0.995.

Alex found a new black bean soup recipe that calls for tomatoes and black beans. If tomatoes cost $1.60 per pound and black bean
djverab [1.8K]

Alex can buy at most 4 pounds of tomatoes

Let:

a represent pounds of tomatoes to buy

3a represent pounds of black beans to buy

Total cost of each ingredient that can be bought = number of pounds x price per pound

Tomatoes = a x $1.60 = 1.60a

Black beans = 3a x $1.70 = 5.1a

1.60a + 5.1a = 26.80

Add similar terms

6.7a = 26.80

Divide both sides of the equation by 6.7

a = 4 pounds

A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after takeoff, is modeled by: h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48h(x)=
Ad libitum [116K]

the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

      <em>  a=-2, b=20, c=48</em>

x = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-20}{2(-2)} = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5

h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48

      =  -50   +  100   + 48

      =          50         + 48

      =                98

Answer: 98 meters

When dividing with polynomials, the goal is to determine how many times the dividend divides evenly into the?
kkurt [141]
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.

When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor. 
                          x + 1
                        ------------------------------------
                  x+1| x²+2x+1
                        - x²+x
                         ----------------------
                                 x +1
                               - x +
