Final answer:

Gerard needs 64 slats to make 8 panels, as it is a proportional relationship.

Explanation:

To find out how many slats are needed for one panel, we simply divide the total number of slats by the number of panels. Since a builder uses 32 slats to make 4 panels, for one panel, Fatima would need:

Number of slats for one panel = Total number of slats \/ Number of panels

Number of slats for one panel = 32 / 4 = 8 slats

For Gerard's question, if 1 panel requires 8 slats, then to make 8 panels he would need:

Number of slats for 8 panels = Slats per panel x Number of panels

Number of slats for 8 panels = 8 x 8 = 64 slats

It's a straightforward example of a proportional relationship in mathematics, where the number of slats scales directly with the number of fence panels.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that our Einstein has baked a cake and cut it into 8 slices. So each slice will be equal [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].

He hands out 3 slices to his guests. Let us find out part of the cake given to guests.

[tex]\text{The part of the cake given to guests}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The part of the cake given to guests}=\frac{1+1+1}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The part of the cake given to guests}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

To find the fraction of left cake we will subtract [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] from 1 as Einstein has 1 whole cake.

[tex]\text{fraction of cake is left}=1-\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{fraction of cake is left}=\frac{8}{8}-\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{fraction of cake is left}=\frac{8-3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\text{fraction of cake is left}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of the cake is left.

Answer:

As per the given statement: Our Einstein has baked a cake and cut it into 8 slices.

⇒ Total slice of cake Einstein has baked = 8

Also, it is given that if he hands out 3 slices to his guests.

⇒ Number of slice he hands out to his guests = 3

Remaining slice of a cake Einstein left with = 8 -3 = 5.

We have to find the fraction of the cake is left.

Fraction states that a fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. Also, It consists of a numerator and a denominator, where numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, while the denominator is the total number of parts.

Fraction of the cake is left = [tex]\frac{\text{Slices of cake left}}{\text{Total number of slices of a cake}}[/tex]

Substitute the given values we get;

[tex]\text{Fraction of the cake is left} =\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

therefore, the fraction of the cake is left is,  [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero at the point x=3 is a result of a factor of even degree, because the function does not change sign as the value of (x -3) changes sign. Since a cubic only has 3 factors, the even degree must be 2. That is, (x -3)² is a factor of f(x) and the root at x=3 has multiplicity 2.

Answer: 59/120 (choice D)

Add up the values in the "math" column and the "11th" row to find the total number of people who are either in 11th grade, in math, or in both.

So,

This problem deals with dependent events in probability. The probability of picking two good apples in a row from a bag containing 7 good and 3 bad apples, without replacement, is calculated as (7/10)*(6/9), which equals 0.467.

The subject of this question is Mathematics, specifically probability. When Nick picks two apples without replacement, we are dealing with dependent events, since the outcome of the second event depends on the outcome of the first event. Dependent events require a different calculation for the probability.

The total apples in the bag initially are 7 good + 3 bad = 10 apples. The probability of picking a good apple on the first draw is 7/10 or 0.7. When one apple is taken out, there are now 9 apples left in the bag. If the first apple was good, the probability of picking the second good apple is now 6/9 or 2/3.

Since these are dependent events, the total probability of picking two good apples in a row would be (7/10) * (6/9) which reduces to 14/30 or approximately 0.467.

Final answer:

Starting with Saul in the 3rd position and counting the 3 children between him and Enid, Enid is determined to be in the 7th position in the line.

Explanation:

To find the position of Enid in line, we start with Saul who is third in line. If there are 3 children between Saul and Enid, and Enid is last, we need to count the positions:

Saul is 3rd in line.

1st child after Saul is in the 4th position.

2nd child after Saul is in the 5th position.

3rd child after Saul is in the 6th position.

Enid is after the 3rd child, placing her in the 7th position.

Therefore, Enid is in the 7th position in line.

Answer:

x ---> 1

y ---> 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given paired values for two variables x and y and we are to determine the constant number by which each term is increased such that they are in a proportional relationship.

For x, we have the following paired values:

[tex]x: 1, 2, 3, 4[/tex]

So here the difference between each consecutive term is 1 so the constant is 1.

And for y, we have:

[tex]y: 5, 10, 15, 20[/tex]

In this case, the difference between each consecutive term is 5 so the constant is 5.

Answer:

D) y = -1/3 x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find a line parallel to 3x+9y=7, the slopes will have to be the same because parallel lines have the same slope.  Knowing y= mx+b we need to find the slope of the old line.

3x+9y=7

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x +9y = -3x+7

9y = -3x+7

Divide each side by 9

9y/9 = -3x/9 + 7/9

y = -1/3 x + 7/9

We know the slope of the  old line is -1/3, so the slope of the parallel line is -1/3.

If we know the slope of the line and a point, we can use the point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -1/3(x-6)

Distribute the -1/3

y-4 = -1/3 x -1/3*-6

y-4 = -1/3x +2

Add 4 to each side

y-4+4 = -1/3x +2+4

y = -1/3x+6

Answer:

f(x) = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

What I'm about to do is probably not the best way to do this question, but it is right. The plan is to take out a common factor on the right of f(x - 2) and then derive f(x) from that.

Solution

Check

Final answer:

To find f(x), replace x - 2 with y to get f(y) = 2(y + 2) - 4, simplify to f(y) = 2y, then revert y back to x to find f(x) = 2x.

Explanation:

To find the function f(x) when you know that f(x - 2) = 2x - 4, you need to replace x - 2 with y so that x = y + 2. Therefore, f(y) = f(x - 2) = 2x - 4 becomes f(y) = 2(y + 2) - 4.

Simplifying this, we get:
f(y) = 2y + 4 - 4
f(y) = 2y.

Now, to revert back to the original function, replace y with x to get f(x) = 2x. This is the function we were looking to find.

Answer: -2

=====================================================

Draw a vertical line through 4 on the x axis. This vertical line crosses the parabola at some point (which we'll call point A). Draw a horizontal line from point A to the y axis and note how it lands on y = 12. Therefore the point (4,12) is on this parabola.

Repeat the same steps as before to find that (8,4) is also on the parabola

We need to find the slope of the line through (4,12) and (8,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4-12)/(8 - 4)

m = -8/4

m = -2

The slope of this line is -2 meaning that the average rate of change from x = 4 to x = 8 is -2.

The line goes down 2 units each time you move to the right 1 unit.

Answer:

The numbers are 8 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we set the smaller number as x. Then we can set the larger one as x + 5, since it is 5 more than the smaller.

Given these two, we can then set them equal to 3x - 3, since the answer is three less than three times the larger.

x + x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x + 5 = 3x - 3

5 = x - 3

8 = x

Now to find the larger number, put into the larger number equation.

x + 5

(8) + 5

13

The numbers are 8 and 13.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The algebraic expression is,

''One number is five more than another and their sum Is there less than three times the smaller''.

Now,

Let the smaller number = x

Then, The another number = x + 5

Write the expression as;

x + x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x - 3x = - 3 - 5

- x = - 8

x = 8

And, The another number = x + 5

                                        = 8 + 5

                                        = 13

Thus, The numbers are 8 and 13.
