A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books. There were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, which altogether can hold 280 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.

Answer:

2 small boxes sent and 4 large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes be S and the number of large boxes by L

Given that there were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, then

L = S + 2

Also given that each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books and altogether can hold 280 books.

30S + 55L = 280

Solve both equations simultaneously

30S + 55(S + 2) = 280

85S + 110 = 280

85S = 280 - 110

85S = 170

S = 170/85

S = 2

Since L = S + 2

L = 2 + 2 = 4

The number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent are 2 and 4 respectively.

Construct a residual plot of the amount of money in a person’s bank account and their age that would indicate a linear model.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a  residual plot for a data set

The residual plot shows scatter plot of x and y

The plotting of points show that there is not likely to be a linear trend of relation between the two variables. It is more likely to be parabolic or exponential.

Hence the regression line cannot be a good model as they do not approach 0.

Also there is not a pattern of linear trend.

D) The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?
Nutka1998 [239]
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

What is the product? StartFraction 3 k Over k + 1 EndFraction times StartFraction k squared minus 1 Over 3 k cubed EndFraction S
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

3k / (k + 1) × (k²- 1) / 3k³

= 3k(k² - 1) / (k + 1)(3k³)

= 3k³ - 3k / 3k⁴ + 3k³

= -3k / 3k⁴

= -1/k³

StartFraction k + 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k + 1) / k²

StartFraction k minus 1 Over k squared EndFraction

(k - 1)/k²

StartFraction negative 1 Over k cubed EndFraction

= -1/k³

StartFraction 1 Over k EndFraction

= 1/k
