Answer:

y=2x is an example of direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is mathematical relationship in between two variables which can be expressed by an equation where one variable is equal to a constant multiplied by the other variable.

In the equation y=2x, x and y are the variables and 2 is a constant.

Here it is expressed as an equation where the variable y is equal to the constant 2 multiplied by the other variable x.

Thus we can say that it is an example of direct variation.

The probability that the 13th card is the first king to be dealt is 1/52.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability that the 13th card is the first king to be dealt from a well-shuffled 52-card deck, we need to consider the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes. There are 4 kings in the deck, so the probability of the first king being the 13th card is 1/52.

Final answer:

The probability that the 13th card is the first king to be dealt in a shuffled 52-card deck is 1/13.

Explanation:

In a well-shuffled 52-card deck, the probability that the 13th card is the first king to be dealt can be calculated as follows:

First, let's determine the number of favorable outcomes. Since there are 4 kings in the deck, there are 4 possible kings that can be the first king dealt.

Next, let's determine the number of possible outcomes. Since there are 52 cards in the deck, there are 52 possible cards to be the 13th card dealt.

Therefore, the probability is calculated as:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes

Probability = 4 / 52

Probability = 1 / 13

So, the probability that the 13th card is the first king to be dealt is 1/13.

Comment on the math

Any calculator can add these numbers for you. You may have to enter them as (4+1/4) and (3+3/5) if your calculator does not support mixed number entry. Depending on the calculator, you may be able to get it to show you the mixed number result. If you want a mixed number and you get a decimal number, you may have to reduce the fraction yourself:

  7 85/100 = 7 17/20 . . . . . . a factor of 5/5 can be removed from the fraction

___

Any two fractions can always be added using the formula ...

  a/b + c/d = (ad +bc)/(bd)

Here, that means the sum of 1/4 and 3/5 is ...

  1/4 + 3/5 = (1·5 +4·3)/(4·5) = (5+12)/20 = 17/20 . . . . . the result above

In some cases, you may have to reduce the resulting fraction.

It takes approximately 1.083 years, or around 1 year and 1 month for an $800 investment to grow to $900 when continuously compounded with an 11% yearly interest rate.

To calculate how long it will take for an $800 investment to grow to $900 with continuous compounding at an 11% yearly interest rate, we use the formula for continuously compounded interest, P = Pert, where P is the final amount, Pe is the original principal, r is the interest rate, and t is time in years.

Rearranging the equation to find t, we have, t = ln(P/Pe) / r.

Substitute P as $900, Pe as $800, and r as 0.11 into the formula.

Therefore, t = ln(900/800) / 0.11 = approximately 1.083 years or around 1 year and 1 month.

Final answer:

The standard deviation of the average amount of caffeine in a carton containing 30 bottles of an energy drink is approximately 4.564 mg.

Explanation:

To calculate the standard deviation of the average amount of caffeine in a carton containing 30 bottles of an energy drink, we can use the concept of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

When independent random samples of a fixed size are taken from a population, the standard deviation of the sample means (σx-bar) is equal to the population standard deviation (σ) divided by the square root of the sample size (n), which is also known as the standard error of the mean.

The formula to find the standard deviation of the sample means is:

σx-bar = σ / √n

In this case, the population standard deviation is given as 25 mg of caffeine, and the sample size is 30 bottles.

So, we calculate the standard deviation of the average amount of caffeine as follows:

σx-bar = 25 mg / √30

σx-bar ≈ 25 mg / 5.477

σx-bar ≈ 4.564 mg (rounded to three decimal places)

Thus, the standard deviation of the average amount of caffeine in a carton containing 30 bottles is approximately 4.564 mg.

We are going to take the quadratic formula ax²+bx+c=0

a.Divide all terms in the equation by a.

[tex]\frac{ax^{2} }{a} +\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}=0\\\\x^{2} +\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a}  =0[/tex]

b.Subtract the constant (the term without an x) from both sides.

[tex]x^{2} +\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{c}{a} -\frac{c}{a}  =\frac{-c}{a} \\\\x^{2} +\frac{b}{a}x=-\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

c.Add a constant (in terms of a and b) that will complete the square.

[tex]x^{2} +\frac{b}{a}x=-\frac{c}{a}\\\\[tex]x^{2} +\frac{b}{a}x+\frac{b^{2} }{4a^{2} }  =-\frac{c}{a} +\frac{b^{2} }{4a^{2}}\\\\(x+\frac{b}{2a}) ^{2}  =\frac{-4ac+b^{2} }{4a^{2} }[/tex]

d.Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

[tex]x+\frac{b}{2a}  =[tex]\\x+\frac{b}{2a} =\frac{\sqrt{-4ac+b^{2} } }{2a}\\x=\frac{\sqrt{-4ac+b^{2} } }{2a}-\frac{b}{2a} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies.

The dimension of the paper is given as: 12-inch by 8-inch

So, its area is:

[tex]\mathbf{A_1 =12 \times 8}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A_1 =96}[/tex]

The dimensions of the 4 right triangles are: Two 2 inches by 9 inches, and two 3 inches by 6 inches

So, the combined area is:

[tex]\mathbf{A_2 = 2 \times \frac 12 \times 2 \times 9 + 2 \times \frac 12 \times 3 \times 6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A_2 = 36}[/tex]

The area of the parallelogram is the difference between the areas of the paper and the four right triangles.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A_3 = A_1 - A_2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A_3 = 96 - 36}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A_3 = 60}[/tex]

The area of a parallelogram is:

[tex]\mathbf{Area = Base \times Altitude}[/tex]

The base is given as 9.22

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{60 = 9.22\times Altitude}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9.22

[tex]\mathbf{6.51 = Altitude}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{Altitude = 6.51}[/tex]

Hence, the altitude of the parallelogram is 6.51 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

even tho this was 4 years ago ehhhhhhh

The discount offered on the jeans is 25 percent. The sales tax charged on the jeans is 6.5 percent. Markup on the jeans after allowing discount is 60 percent.

a. To find the percent of discount, we need to calculate the actual discount and divide it by the original price, then multiply by 100. From the given information, the original price of the jeans is $39.99 and the discount is $10.00. Therefore, the actual discount is $10.00 and the original price is $39.99. The percent of discount to the nearest percent is:

Percent of discount = (actual discount / original price) x 100

Percent of discount = (10.00 / 39.99) x 100

Percent of discount = 25%

Therefore, the percent of discount to the nearest percent is 25%.

b. To find the percent of sales tax, we need to divide the sales tax by the subtotal, then multiply by 100. From the given information, the subtotal is $29.99 and the sales tax is $1.95. Therefore, the percent of sales tax to the nearest tenth of a percent is:

Percent of sales tax = (sales tax / subtotal) x 100

Percent of sales tax = (1.95 / 29.99) x 100

Percent of sales tax = 6.5%

Therefore, the percent of sales tax to the nearest tenth of a percent is 6.5%.

c. The price of the jeans includes a 60% markup, which means that the selling price is 160% of the cost price. Let x be the cost price of the jeans. Then, the selling price of the jeans is 1.6x. After the discount of $10.00, the selling price becomes 1.6x - 10.00. The percent of markup after the discount to the nearest percent is:

Percent of markup = ((selling price - cost price) / cost price) x 100

Percent of markup = (((1.6x - 10.00) - x) / x) x 100

Percent of markup = (0.6x - 10.00) / x x 100

Percent of markup = 60 - (1000 / x)

Percent of markup = 60%.

So, the percent of markup after the discount is approximately 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Allen's monthly take-home pay is $3000

His monthly rent is $750

Now both his monthly take-home pay and his rent increase by $200

So, After increase Allen's monthly take-home pay =$3000+$200= $3200

After increase His monthly rent = $750+200=$950

Now we are supposed to find what percentage of Allen's take-home pay will be used to pay rent

So, percentage = [tex]\frac{\text{Rent after increase}}{\text {Take- home pay after increase}} \times 100[/tex]

                          = [tex]\frac{950}{3200}\times 100[/tex]  

                          = [tex]\frac{950}{32}[/tex]  

                          = [tex]29.68\%[/tex]  

Hence 29.68% of Allen's take-home pay will be used to pay rent.
