Towns A, B, C, and X are located along a straight highway. Town B is between A and C, and the distance from A to C is
41 miles. BC is 2 miles more than twice AB.
Town X is between A and B, 6 miles from A. Find XC.
a. 13 miles
c. 41 miles
b. 28 miles
d. 35 miles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  35 miles, but this is not an answer option.

Step-by-step explanation:

A   X   B       C

AC = 41 miles

BC = 2AB + 2  

AX = 6

AX + XC = 41        [This is the key equation.  We want XC and AX is given as 6]

6 + XC = 41          

XC = 35 miles

None of the answer options show this value.

I don't know why, since:

a.  "the distance from A to C is 41 miles." means AC = 41, and

b.  "Town X is between A and B, 6 miles from A" means AX = 6

If we say that AX + XC = 41, then 6 + XC = 41 and XC = 35

I don't know why this would be incorrect, so I'll leave it to someone else to spot the problem.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The curve crosses the x axis (has zeros) at -1 and -4

Therefore it has factors of (x + 1) and (x + 4) and possibly a constant factor C

y = C(x + 1)(x + 4)

plug in the known y intercept

16 = C(0 + 1)(0 + 4)

16 = 4C

C = 4

as they are looking for two factors and one is give as (x + 1), the other must be C(x + 4) = 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

Scientific notation question in mathematics please answer
A newly discovered planet has a mass of 4.8743 · 10 22 kilograms. It's estimated that there is water on the surface and that, the water's mass is only 4 · 10 -2 percent of the planet's total mass. Use scientific notation to estimate the mass of the planet's water. In your final answer, include all of your estimates and calculations.

Answers

Answer:

1.94972 × 10¹⁹ kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the planet:

4.8743 × 10²² kg

The water's mass:

4×10⁺²%

Mass of the planet's water:

4.8743 × 10²² * 4×10⁺² / 100 = 19.4972 × 10²²⁺²⁺² = 19.4972 × 10¹⁸ = 1.94972 × 10¹⁹

A survey found that 27% of high school students and 94% of teachers and school employees drive to school. The ratio of students to employees is about 10 to 1. Roger states

Answers

The complete question statement is: A survey found that 27% of high school students and 94% of teachers and school employees drive to school. The ratio of students to employees is about 10 to 1. Roger states that the number of students who drive to school is greater than the number of teachers and employees who drive to school. Explain how Roger’s statement could be correct.

Answer and Explanation:

What is given;

Students 27%. (s)

Teachers and employees 94%. (t)

The ratio between these two variable is 10:1, this means that for every 10 students there's one employee only, that is, students are 10 times more than teacher and employees.

So, 27% of 10 students is 2.7 students, and 94% of 1 employee is 0.94 employees and teachers. So, if there are 2,000 students, there must be 200 teachers, and the number of students that have cars are 0.27(2000)=540, and the number of teacher and employees that have cars are 0.94(200)=188.

As you can observe, with this ratio and percentages, the number of students who drive to school is greater than the number of teachers and employees who drive to school. That's why Roger's statement is correct.


Will all rational functions have at least one vertical asymptote? Justify your response with an
explanation

Answers

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational function is the ratio of two polynomials. It will have a vertical asymptote if there is a real denominator zero that is not matched by one in the numerator.

Polynomials in general may or may not have real zeros, and two polynomials may have the same zero. Hence conditions may exist for a rational function not to have any vertical asymptotes.

An example with no vertical asymptotes is ...

Two cities are 5 3/4 inches apart on a map. The map scale says that 1/2 inch= 10 miles. How many miles
apart are two cities?

Answers

Answer:

900 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 inch = 200 miles, then ....

    4.5 inches * (200 miles / 1 inch) = (4.5 inches * 200 miles) / (1 inch) = 900 miles

OR

    1 / 200 : 4.5 / m     ==>     1 * 4.5 / 200 * 4.5 = 4.5 / 900    ==>    m = 900

Thus, the actual distance between the two cities is 900 miles.

The angle measure of a triangle is shown in the diagram.
what is the value of x?
A. 13
B. 20
C. 5
D. 12

Answers

To find X it is a degree value.
All of the angles in this triangle add to give 180 degrees.

So set the sum of every angle = 180
180 = 95 + 3x+4 + 4X-3

To solve this you want x by itself so bring 95 to the other side by subtracting it. Add the 3x and 4X. Add 4 and -3.
85 = 7x + 1

Subtract the 1 to isolate x
84 = 7x

Divide by 7
X = 84/7

To see if it is A, B, C, D plug in the value and see if it adds up to 180

Answers

Answer:

non-proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is non-proportional. A proportional equation contains 2 variables where one is proportional to the other. An example would be:

y = 5x

Y is proportional to the value of X at a rate of 5. 5 is the "constant of variation", or the "constant of proportionality"

36 = 12d is not proportional because there is only one variable. That variable can be solved for, giving only one solution.

proportional:

"corresponding in size, degree or intensity"

"having the same or a constant ratio"
