The sum of two numbers is 37
and the difference is 13
. What are the numbers?
Answer:
25, 12
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent one number and y represent the other number
x+y=37 (sum is addition)
x-y=13 (difference is subtraction)
Im solving using the substitution method
x-y=13 add y to both sides to get x by itself
x=13+y
13+y+y=37 substitute x for the solution above in the other equation and simplify
2y=24
y=12
plug in y into one of the equations
x+12=37 subtract 12 from both sides
x=25

The baseball team has won 7 out of 9 games, so the fraction of games won is 7/9.
To calculate the fraction of games a baseball team has won, we divide the number of games won by the total number of games played. In this case, the team has won 7 games out of a total of 9 games played this season. To express this as a fraction, we write 7 as the numerator (the top number) and 9 as the denominator (the bottom number).
Therefore, the fraction of games the baseball team has won is 7/9.
6. The median-median line for a dataset is y=1.133x+0.489

A. The median-median line regression line is a better prediction.
B. The least squares regression line is a better prediction.
C. The models predict the same value
D. The models predict different values that are equally inaccurate
(1 point)
Answer: The answer is B...........
Answer:
The correct option is A. The median-median line regression line is a better prediction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given median-median line for a dataset is
[tex]y=1.133x+0.489[/tex]
The least-squares regression line for the same dataset is
[tex]y=1.068x+0.731[/tex]
The given point is (50,60).
Substitute x=50 in each given equation.
[tex]y=1.133(50)+0.489=57.139[/tex]
[tex]y=1.068(50)+0.731=54.131[/tex]
Since the value of median-median line at x=50 is near to 60 than the value of least-squares regression at x=50.
The median-median line regression line is a better prediction. Therefore the correct option is A.
The graph shows the function f(x) = |x – h| + k. What is the value of h?
h = –3.5
h = –1.5
h = 1.5
h = 3.5
Answer:
h = –1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In the function
[tex]f\left(x\right)=\left|x-h\right|+k[/tex]
The point (h,k) is the vertex of the function
where
h is the x-coordinate of the vertex
k is the y-coordinate of the vertex
In this problem the vertex is the point (-1.5,-3.5)
therefore
h=-1.5
the function is

A school replaced 20% of its computers with new ones what is the total number of computers in the school if 55 computers were replaced
Answer:
There were 275 computers
Step-by-step explanation:
Computers replaced = total computers * percent replaced
What do we know?
The percent replaced is 20 = .2
55 computers were replaced.
Substitute this in
55 = total computers * .2
Divide each side by .2
55/.2 = total computers *.2 /.2
275 = total computers
There were 275 computers
To find the total number of computers in the school, you set up the equation 0.20 * x = 55, where x is the total number of computers. Solving for x gives us x = 275, meaning there are 275 computers in the school.
The question is asking us to find the total number of computers in the school knowing that 20% of them were replaced and knowing that 55 computers were replaced. To find the total number of computers, we need to understand that the 55 computers represent the 20% that were replaced. So, we set up a proportion where 20% (0.20) of the total number of computers (which we will call x) equals to 55. The equation will look like this: 0.20 * x = 55.
We divide both sides of the equation by 0.20 to solve for x:
x = 55 / 0.20
x = 275
Thus, the total number of computers in the school is 275.

expression to approximate log a of x for all positive numbers a, b, and x, where a is not equal to 1 and b is not equal to one
Question:
Approximate log base b of x, log_b(x).
Of course x can't be negative, and b > 1.
Answer:
f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
log(1) is zero for any base.
log is strictly increasing.
log_b(b) = 1
As x descends to zero, log(x) diverges to -infinity
Graph of f(x) = (-1/x + 1)/a is reminiscent of log(x), with f(1) = 0.
Find a such that f(b) = 1
1 = f(b) = (-1/b + 1)/a
a = (-1/b + 1)
Substitute for a:
f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)
f(1) = 0
f(b) = (-1/b + 1) / (-1/b + 1) = 1

Write an equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -2 and passes through (5, -1).
y + 1 = -2(x – 5)
y – 1 = -2(x – 5)
y – 5 = -2(x + 1)
y -5 = -2(x – 1)
Answer:
[tex]y+1=-2(x-5)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and the slope.
We will substitute [tex]m=-2[/tex] and [tex]x_1=5\\y_1=-1[/tex].
[tex]y-(-1)=-2 (x-5)[/tex]
[tex]y+1=-2(x-5)[/tex]
This is the equation of the line with slope -2 that passes through (5,-1).
Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 4 and passes through the point (3,-8)?
Answer:
The equation of this line would be y + 8 = 4(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get this we can start with the base form of point-slope.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Now that we've got this, we can plug in the slope for m. We can also plug in the point for (x1, y1).
y + 8 = 4(x - 3)
At a local fitness center, members pay an $8 membership fee and $4 for each aerobics class. Nonmembers pay $6 for each aerobics class. For what number of aerobics classes will the cost for members and nonmembers be the same?
Let X be the number of classes:
You need to multiply the cost per class by the number of classes.
For members you also need to add in the membership fee.
Members pay a total of 8 +4x
Non members pay a total of 6x
Set them to equal to solve for x, which is the number of classes taken:
8 + 4x = 6x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
8 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 8/2 = 4
The answer is 4 classes.
A person's systolic blood pressure, which is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), depends on a person's age, in years.
The equation: P = 0.007 y 2 − 0.01 y + 122
gives a person's blood pressure, P , at age y years.
A.) Find the systolic pressure, to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, for a person of age 44 years.
B.) If a person's systolic pressure is 133.36 mm Hg, what is their age (rounded to the nearest whole year)?
Answer:
(A)The systolic pressure of a person of age 44 is 135.1 mm Hg
(B) If a person's systolic pressure is 133.36 mm Hg, their age is 41 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : P = 0.007 y² - 0.01 y +122
where P is systolic pressure and y is age of a person
(A) Here age of the person, y =44
So, P =0.007 (44²) -0.01 (44) +122 = 13.552 -0.44 +122 = 135.112 =135.1 mm
∴ The systolic pressure of a person of age 44 is 135.1 mm Hg
(B) Here P = 133.36 mm Hg
So,
133.36 = 0.007 y² - 0.01 y +122
=>0.007 y² -0.01 y -11.36 =0
=> 7 y² -10 y -11360 =0
Solving the above quadratic equation using quadratic formula, we have
[tex]y = \frac{5+\sqrt{79545} }{7}[/tex]
or [tex]y = \frac{5-\sqrt{79545} }{7}[/tex]
y = 41 or y = -39.57
Since age cannot be negative, y= 41
∴ If a person's systolic pressure is 133.36 mm Hg, their age is 41 years.
The systolic pressure of a 44-year-old person is approximately 132.8 mm Hg, and a person with a systolic pressure of 133.36 mm Hg is roughly 46 years old.
Explanation:To answer this question, we will be using the given equation P = 0.007y^2 - 0.01y + 122, where P represents a person's systolic blood pressure and y represents their age.
A) To find the systolic pressure for a person aged 44 years, we substitute y=44 into the equation. This gives us P = 0.007 * (44)^2 - 0.01 * 44 + 122 = 132.8 mm Hg.
B) To find the age of a person with a systolic pressure of 133.36 mm Hg, we set P=133.36 and solve the equation for y. This can be done using methods such as factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. Upon solving, we find y roughly equals 46, so the person is approximately 46 years old when rounded to the nearest whole year.

d. x^2 +8pi x - 24pi
Without additional context or a visual, it's impossible to determine the correct answer for the area of the shaded region using the provided options and the circle area formula A = πr². More information about the figure is needed.
Explanation:The question asks to find the area of the shaded region using the area formula for a circle, which is A = πr².
However, without additional context or a diagram, it is impossible to provide a definitive answer to this question. Normally, to find the area of a shaded region involving a circle, one might calculate the area of the circle and then subtract the area of any unshaded parts that are inside the circle. However, the given answer options (a through d) suggest that the shaded region might involve an algebraic expression in terms of x. Based on typical problems, we might be dealing with a composite shape where x represents the dimension of another shape such as a square or rectangle. To find the correct answer, we would need to see the figure in question or have more information provided in the problem statement.
The area of the composite figure, which includes both the rectangle and the semicircle, is approximately [tex]\( 18.28 \)[/tex] square inches when calculated numerically The correct option is (b) is [tex]\( (8\pi + 12) \text{ in}^2 \)[/tex].
The provided image appears to show a composite figure consisting of a semicircle on top of a rectangle. To find the area of the composite figure, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle separately, then add them together.
The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is [tex]\( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \)[/tex].
Given that the width of the rectangle (which is the same as the diameter of the semicircle) is 4 inches and the height (length) of the rectangle is 3 inches, the area of the rectangle is:
[tex]\[ A_{\text{rectangle}} = 4 \text{ in} \times 3 \text{ in} = 12 \text{ in}^2 \][/tex]
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is [tex]\( A = \pi r^2 \)[/tex], where [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius. Since we have a semicircle, we will take half of the area of a full circle. The diameter of the semicircle is 4 inches, so the radius [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is 2 inches.
The area of the semicircle is then:
[tex]\[ A_{\text{semicircle}} = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \pi (2 \text{ in})^2 = 2 \pi \text{ in}^2 \][/tex]
Now, we'll add the areas of the rectangle and the semicircle to find the total area of the composite figure:
[tex]\[ A_{\text{total}} = A_{\text{rectangle}} + A_{\text{semicircle}} = 12 \text{ in}^2 + 2 \pi \text{ in}^2 \][/tex]
Let's calculate the total area.
The area of the composite figure, which includes both the rectangle and the semicircle, is approximately [tex]\( 18.28 \)[/tex] square inches when calculated numerically.
However, if we express the area in terms of [tex]\(\pi\)[/tex], the exact area is given by the formula:
[tex]\[ A_{\text{total}} = (8\pi + 12) \text{ in}^2 \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is b. [tex]\( (8\pi + 12) \text{ in}^2 \)[/tex].

Identify the perimeter and area of an equilateral triangle with height 12√2cm. Give your answer in simplest radical form. PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
Answer: (D) P=24√6, A=96√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider ΔABC where D is the midpoint of BC. Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, then segment AD is a perpendicular bisector with length of 12√2. This creates ΔADC which is a 30°-60°-90° triangle.
Now you can use the rules for this special triangle to find the length of the hypotenuse.
30° ⇄ side length "a" base - DC on ΔADC
60° ⇄ side length "a√3" height - AD on ΔADC
90° ⇄ side length "2a" hypotenuse - AC on ΔADC
Step 1: solve for "a"
[tex]AD: a\sqrt3=12\sqrt{12}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{a\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{12\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{12\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\bigg)[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{12\sqrt6}{3}[/tex]
[tex]=4\sqrt6[/tex]
Step 2: solve for "2a"
[tex]AC: 2a =2(4\sqrt{6})[/tex]
[tex]=8\sqrt{6}[/tex]
Step 3: find the perimeter
The side length is equivalent for all 3 sides so
P = 3(AC)
[tex]=3(8\sqrt{6})[/tex]
[tex]=24\sqrt{6}[/tex]
Step 4: find the area
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}b \cdot h[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}(8\sqrt6)(12\sqrt2)[/tex]
[tex]=(48\sqrt{12})[/tex]
[tex]=(96\sqrt3)[/tex]

The exponential decay graph shows the expected depreciation for a new boat, selling for $3500, over 10 years.
Write an exponential function for the graph. Use the function to find the value of the boat after 9.5 years.
Answer:
y = 3500(3/7 ) ^ 1/3
y = 239.23
Step-by-step explanation:
For exponential decay
y =a b^x
a = 3500
b<1
We can use the point (3, 1500)
1500 = 3500 * b^3
Divide each by 3500
1500/3500 = 3500/3500 b^3
15/35 = b^3
3/7 = b^3
Take the cube root of each side
(3/7) ^ 1/3 = b^3 ^ 1/3
b = (3/7 ) ^ 1/3
The function is
y = 3500 (3/7) ^ 1/3 x
We want to find y when x=9.5
y = 3500 (3/7) ^ (9.5 /3)
y = 3500 ( 3/7) ^ 3. 166666666
y = 3500 (.06835)

(7,500)
y = 3500 (3/7)^ (1/3*7)
y = 3500 (3/7) ^ (7/3)
y = 484.68
That is pretty close. We do not know the exact value since we are reading from a graph.
A. y=4x-1 B. y=2x+7
C. y=3x-3 D. y=3x+3
The identified equations are linear as they conform to the standard linear format y = mx + b. They encompass scenarios like flu cases over years and predicted total hours for given square footage, all exhibiting linear relationships. Substituting particular x-values verifies solutions through identities.
Identifying Linear Equations
From the information provided, the task is to identify which equations are linear. A linear equation will generally have a format of y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. According to Practice Test 4 solutions, all three equations listed in option 1 (y = -3x, y = 0.2 +0.74x, y=-9.4 - 2x) are linear because they fit this model.
Additionally, the use of x and y in the context of independent and dependent variables is consistent with linear relationships. In the case of flu cases depending on the year, the year is independent and the number of cases is dependent. Similarly, relationships like the total number of hours required depending on the square footage, or the total payment based on the number of students, fit the linear model with an equation of the form y = mx + b.
Moreover, speaking of identities, when specific values of x are substituted in an equation resulting in an obvious equation such as 6 = 6, they confirm the solutions to the linear equation being correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hector spent $25.75 for 2 DVDs that cost the same amount. The sales tax on his purchase was $3.15. Hector also used a coupon for $1.00 off his purchase. How much did each DVD cost?
Answer:
The cost of each DVD is $11.8 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the cost of one DVD be x.
As given
Hector spent $25.75 for 2 DVDs that cost the same amount.
The sales tax on his purchase was $3.15.
Hector also used a coupon for $1.00 off his purchase.
Than the equation
Total Hector Spents for two DVDs = 2 × cost of one DVD + Sales tax + Coupon cost .
Putting the value
25.75 = 2x + 3.15 - 1.00
25.75 = 2x +2.15
25.75 - 2.15 = 2x
23.6 = 2x
[tex]x = \frac{23.6}{2}[/tex]
x = $11.8
Therefore the cost of each DVD is $11.8 .
