The Depths Of Water, At The Edge Of A Pier, At Different Times Of Day, Are Represented By The Table Below.

Answers

Answer 1
The best answer is C) y=4.75 * cos(0.52x - 2.08) + 7.65

Unfortunately, the two only ways to solve this problem are to either graph all the options or plug in time values for x and see which agrees the most with the tide chart. Both are time-consuming, but I chose to graph each one with a graphing application. 
Plugging in a few values for x confirms that C is the best function. 
12pm (x=0)
y = 4.75 * cos(0 - 2.08) + 7.65
y = 5.334
2pm (x=2)
y= 6.5
4pm (x=4)
y=12.4
It is not a perfect representation, but the shape of the graph and closeness to the points given is the best of the four options provided.

The manager at a movie theater keeps track of the number of evening tickets and matinee tickets sold each day and the total money received. On Friday, a total of 63 tickets were sold, and the money collected was $742. If evening tickets are sold for $14 and matinee tickets are sold for $10, how many evening tickets and matinee tickets were sold?

Answers

Let the number of Matinee tickets be x 
Let the number of evening tickets be y
Number of sold tickets = 63, this means that: x+y = 63 ......> equation I
Price of matinee ticket = 10 and price of evening tickets = 14
Total money collected = 742, this means that 10x + 14y = 742 .....> equation II

From equation I: x = 63 - y .........> equation III

Substitute by equation III in equation II:
10(63-y) + 14y = 742
630 - 10y + 14y = 742
4y = 742 - 630 = 112
y = 112/4 = 28
Substitute by the value of y is equation III:
x = 63-28 = 35

Based on the above calculations:
number of matinee tickets = x = 35 tickets
number of evening tickets = y = 28 tickets

The sum of 3 less than 5 times a number and the number increased by 9 is 24. what is the number?

Answers

Let's break down the question an come up with parts of an equation that we can then put together to form a whole and solve.
                             Let 'a' be the number
So, 3 less than 5 times a number = 5a - 3 
the number increased by 9 = a + 9

⇒The sum of 3 less than 5 times a number and the number increased by 9 is 24 ≡ (5a - 3) + (a + 9) = 24

⇒ (5a - 3) + (a + 9) = 24
⇒                6a + 6 = 24
                          6a = 18
                            a = 3

∴ the number would be 3

The population of rabbits in a national forest is modeled by the formula P= 12,000 + 1000 (t+1) where t is the number of years from the present. How many rabbits are now in the forest?

Answers

Final answer:

The current population of rabbits in the forest can be found by substituting t = 0 into the given formula P = 12,000 + 1000(t+1).

Explanation:

To find the number of rabbits currently in the forest, we can substitute the value of t = 0 into the given formula. The formula P = 12,000 + 1000(t+1) represents the population of rabbits in the forest at any given year, where t is the number of years from the present. Since we want to find the current population, we substitute t = 0:

P = 12,000 + 1000(0+1)

P = 12,000 + 1000(1)

P = 12,000 + 1000

P = 13,000

Therefore, there are currently 13,000 rabbits in the forest.

An investment firm recommends that a client invest in bonds rated AAA, A, and B.  The average yield on AAA bonds is 4 %, on A bonds 6 %, and on B bonds 11 %.  The client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds.  How much should be invested in each type of bond under the following conditions?

A. The total investment is $26,000 , and the investor wants an annual return of $1,620 on the three investments.

B. The values in part A are changed to $38,000 and $2,360 , respectively

A. The client should invest $(?) in AAA bonds, $(?)in A bonds, and $(?)in B bonds.

Answers

Final answer:

To meet the client's investment goals with an investment return of $1,620 on a total of $26,000, the client should invest $8,000 in AAA bonds, $14,000 in A bonds, and $4,000 in B bonds. This is derived from setting up and solving a system of linear equations based on the conditions provided.

Explanation:

Part A: Investment Calculations

To solve for the amount to invest in each type of bond, we can set up a system of equations based on the given conditions. Let x be the amount invested in AAA bonds, y be the amount invested in A bonds, and z be the amount invested in B bonds. We are told that the client wants to invest twice as much in AAA bonds as in B bonds, which gives us the equation x = 2z. The total investment is $26,000, so we have x + y + z = $26,000. The desired annual return is $1,620, and this gives us another equation based on the yields: 0.04x + 0.06y + 0.11z = $1,620.

By solving this system of equations, we can find the amounts to invest in each bond.

From x = 2z, we can substitute for x in the other equations.

The total investment equation becomes 2z + y + z = $26,000, simplifying to 3z + y = $26,000.

The return equation becomes 0.08z + 0.06y + 0.11z = $1,620, simplifying to 0.19z + 0.06y = $1,620.

We can now solve these two new equations for y and z, and then find x using x = 2z.

After solving, we get:

z (B bonds) = $4,000

x (AAA bonds) = 2z = $8,000

y (A bonds) = $26,000 - x - z = $14,000

Part B: Investment Calculations with Updated Values

The process for part B is similar, but with the updated total investment of $38,000 and a desired return of $2,360. The equations are adjusted accordingly, and after solving, we would get the new investment amounts for AAA, A, and B bonds.

The client should invest $8,000 in AAA bonds, $14,000 in A bonds, and $4,000 in B bonds for the conditions in part A.

The amount that the woman should pay to play the game is $1.23. Computed using the expected return and the probability of an event.

What is the probability of an event?

The probability of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the event, to the total number of possible outcomes in the experiment.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are given that in a gambling game, a woman is paid $3 if she draws a jack or a queen and $5 if she draws a king or an ace from an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards. If she draws any other card, she loses.

We are asked the amount the woman should pay to play the game if it is fair.

The amount that the woman should pay to play the game is her expected return from the game.

Her expected return can be shown as E(X), where X represents all possible returns, which is calculated as:

E(X) = ∑ x.P(x), where P(x) is the probability of x.

The values of x can be:

3 when she draws a jack or a queen,

5 when she draws a king or an ace, and

0 when she draws any other card.

The probabilities of drawing a:-

The total number of possible outcomes remains constant throughout as 52.

Jack or a queen:

Number of favorable outcomes = 8 {4 jacks + 4 queens}.

Thus, the probability = 8/52 = 2/13.

King or an ace:

Number of favorable outcomes = 8 {4 kings + 4 ace}.

Thus, the probability = 8/52 = 2/13.

Any other card:

Number of favorable outcomes = 36 {All remaining cards, that is, 52 - 8 - 8 = 36}.

Thus, the probability = 36/52 = 9/13.

Thus, the expected return:

E(X) = ∑ x.P(x),

or, E(X) = 0.(9/13) + 3.(2/13) + 5(2/13),

or, E(X) = 0 + 6/13 + 10/13,

or, E(X) = 16/13 = 1.23.

Thus, the amount that the woman should pay to play the game is $1.23. Computed using the expected return and the probability of an event.

Okay, let me help break this down for you. In this equation as we call it, we need to ISOLATE the "x" value which means to have be by itself in order to solve the equation.

So we have 2 + 8 - x = -24

Lets start with the 2. We will Subtract it over in order to get 8 - x = - 26

Next lets subtract over the 8. We will then end up with -x = - 34

Now we get rid of the negatives by dividing each side by a negative 1 (remember -x is the same as -1x). After this we will have got our answer

Terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers are called ___ terms.

Answers

Final answer:

Like terms are terms with the same variables raised to the same powers, allowing them to be combined by addition or subtraction.

Explanation:

Terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers are called like terms.

In mathematics, particularly algebra, like terms are terms that contain the same variables to the same power, which allows them to be combined through addition or subtraction. An example of like terms would be 3x2y and 7x2y. Both contain the variable x raised to the second power, and y raised to the first power, thus they can be combined to form 10x2y.

Terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers are called "like" terms. In algebraic expressions, like terms are essential for simplifying and combining expressions efficiently. The concept is rooted in the understanding that terms with identical variable factors, such as x^2 or y, can be grouped together. This simplification aids in solving equations, factoring, and performing various algebraic operations.

Identifying and combining like terms streamline mathematical processes, providing a clearer and more concise representation of expressions. Ultimately, the recognition of like terms is a fundamental aspect of algebraic manipulation, contributing to the coherence and simplicity of mathematical expressions.

Final answer:

Terms that have identical variables raised to the same powers are called like terms. They can be added or subtracted as they represent the same quantities of variables to the same exponent powers.

Explanation:

Terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers are called like terms.

Like terms can be combined (added or subtracted) because they represent the same types of quantities raised to the same power. For example, in the expression 3x2 + 5x2, both terms are like terms because they both involve the variable x raised to the second power, which means that these two terms can be added together to get 8x2.

Raising a number to an exponent, such as squaring (raising to the second power) or cubing (raising to the third power), is a way to express repeated multiplication of the number by itself. For instance, the expression 52 = 5 x 5 = 25 shows that 5 is being squared, and the result is 25.

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

To write a proportion.

50/75 = x/120.

Then Cross multiply to get;

6,000/75x.
