2. The product of two consecutive odd numbers is 143. Find the numbers. (Hint: If the first odd number is x, what is the next odd number?)​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the 2 numbers x and (x+2).

x × (x + 2) = 143

x² + 2x = 143

x² + 2x - 143 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation

ax² + bx + c = 0

is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case this is

x = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×1×-143))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 572))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(576))/2 =

= (-2 ± 24)/2 = (-1 ± 12)

x1 = -1 + 12 = 11

x2 = -1 - 12 = -13

so, we have 2 solutions : 11 and 13, -13 and -11

11× 13 = 143

-11×-13 = 143

We need to solve for delta, to do that we will first add 8delta on both sides:

[tex]21-7\Delta+8\Delta=4-8\Delta+8\Delta[/tex]

Now we add like terms:

In an experiment, the probability that event B occurs is , and the probability that event A occurs given that event B occurs is 3 7) What is the probability that events A and B both occur? Simplify any fractions.

Answers

We have to use the conditional probability formula:

[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Where P(A|B) is the probability that A occurs given that B occurs, P(B) is the probability that B occurs, and P(A∩B) is the probability that both events A and B occur.

In this case, since we are asked for the probability that events A and B both occur, we need to solve the equation for P(A∩B):

[tex]P(A\cap B)=P(A|B)\cdot P(B)[/tex]

And the information we have about the problem is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(A|B)=\frac{3}{7} \\ P(B)=\frac{2}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We substitute this into the formula for P(A∩B):

[tex]P\mleft(A\cap B\mright)=\frac{3}{7}\cdot\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Solving the multiplication of fractions:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P\mleft(A\cap B\mright)=\frac{3\cdot2}{7\cdot9} \\ P\mleft(A\cap B\mright)=\frac{6}{63} \end{gathered}[/tex]

And finally, we simplify the fraction by dividing both numbers in the fraction by 3:

[tex]P\mleft(A\cap B\mright)=\frac{2}{21}[/tex]

The following table represents C, an appliance repairman’s charges based on t, the hours it takes to make a repair.Which of the following equations could be used to determine the repairman’s charges for a repair?A: C=27t +3B: C=27tC: C=35tD: C=35t + 2

Answers

Given the table below

To find the equation of the values of the table, we will first calculate the rate of change, then use a point and the rate of change calculated fo find the equation for the repairman's charges for the repair

To find the rate of change we have

[tex]\text{ Point 1}\Rightarrow(1,62)\Rightarrow t_1=1,c_1=62[/tex][tex]\text{ Point 2}\Rightarrow(3,116)\Rightarrow t_2=3,c_2=116[/tex]

The rate of change formula is

[tex]m=\frac{c_2-c_1}{t_2-t_1}=\frac{116-62}{3-1}=\frac{54}{2}=27[/tex]

Having calculated the rate, we can use slope and one point form equation of a line to get the desired equation. This is given below:

[tex]c-c_1=m(t-t_1)[/tex]

Substitute the given values of t and c and the rate in the formula above

[tex]\begin{gathered} c-62=27(t-1) \\ c-62=27t-27 \\ c=27t-27+62 \\ c=27t+35 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the repairman's charges for a repair is given as C = 27t + 35

Elijah is snorkeling above a shipwreck. The ship has an elevation of -105 feet. Elijah is snorkeling at 2/15 of the ship's elevation. What is Elijah's elevation?

Answers

Elijah's elevation when Elijah is snorkeling above a shipwreck is -14.

What is elevation?

Elevation simply has to do with the height above sea level.

In this case, Elijah is snorkeling above a shipwreck and the ship has an elevation of -105 feet. Elijah is snorkeling at 2/15 of the ship's elevation.

Elijah's elevation will be:

= Fraction of his snorkeling × Ship's elevation

= 2/15 × (-105)

= -14

Given right triangle ABC, with altitude CD intersecting AB at point D. If AD = 5 and DB = 8, find the length of CD, in simplest radical form. In your video include whether you would use SAAS or HYLLS to solve (and WHY), the proportion you would set up, how you would solve for the missing side, and how you know your answer is in simplest radical form.

Answers

First we dra a triangle:

To prove that the triangles are similar we have to do the following:

Considet triangles ABC and ACD, in this case we notice that angles ACB and ADC are equal to 90°, hence they are congruent. Furthermore angles CAD and CAB are also congruent, this means that the remaining angle in both triangles will also be congruent, therefore by the AA postulate for similarity we conclude that:

[tex]\Delta ABC\approx\Delta ACD[/tex]

Now consider triangles ABC and BCD, in this case we notice that angles ACB and BDC are congruent since they are both equal to 90°. Furthermore angles ABC and DBC are also congruent, this means that the remaining angle in both triangles will, once again, be congruent. Hence by the AA postulate we conclude that:

[tex]\Delta ABC\approx\Delta BCD[/tex]

With this we conclude that traingles BCD and ACD are both similar to triangle ABC, and by the transitivity property of similarity we conclude that:

[tex]\Delta ACD\approx BCD[/tex]

Now that we know that both triangles are similar we can use the following proportion:

[tex]\frac{h}{x}=\frac{y}{h}[/tex]

this comes from the fact that the ratios should be the same in similar triangles.

From this equation we can find h:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{h}{x}=\frac{y}{h} \\ h^2=xy \\ h=\sqrt[]{xy} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Plugging the values we have for x and y we have that h (that is the segment CD) has length:

[tex]\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{8\cdot5} \\ =\sqrt[]{40} \\ =\sqrt[]{4\cdot10} \\ =2\sqrt[]{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of segment CD is:

i Which equation, when solved, results in a different value of x than the other three?' 7 3 4 37 X=-20 3 119-8-2014

Answers

You have the first equation:

[tex]-\frac{7}{8}x-\frac{3}{4}=20[/tex]

Let's analize the others equation.

You can see that the second equation is just like the first one, but it was multiplied by -1:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (-1)(-\frac{7}{8}x-\frac{3}{4})=(20)(-1) \\ \frac{7}{8}x+\frac{3}{4}=-20 \\ \frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{8}x=-20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the value of "x" of the first one and the second one will be the same.

The third equation is:

[tex]-7(\frac{1}{8})x-\frac{3}{4}=20[/tex]

If you simplify it, you get:

[tex]-\frac{7}{8}x-\frac{3}{4}=20[/tex]

So you can notice that the three equations are the same, therefore the result of the third one will be the same too.

You can identify that even simplifying the last equation, it is not the same equation, then you will obtain a different value of "x" than the other three.

Therefore,the answer is the Last option.

Molly was on a long 136 mile road trip. The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph. The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph. If the trip took her 5 hours, how long did she travel at each speed? In traffic she drove for _____ hours After the traffic cleared she drove for ____ hours.

Answers

Answer:

In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Explanation:

Given that the road trip was 136 miles;

[tex]d=136[/tex]

The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;

[tex]v_1=16[/tex]

The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;

[tex]v_2=44[/tex]

She traveled for a total of 5 hours;

[tex]t=5[/tex]

let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph

[tex]t_1=x[/tex]

the time the traffic is clear would be;

[tex]t_2=t-t_1=5-x[/tex]

Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;

[tex]d=v_1t_1_{}_{}^{}+v_2t_2[/tex]

substituting the values;

[tex]136=16x+44(5-x)[/tex]

solving for x;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 136=16x+220-44x \\ 44x-16x=220-136 \\ 28x=84 \\ x=\frac{84}{28} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So;

[tex]\begin{gathered} t_1=3\text{ hours} \\ t_2=5-x=5-3=2 \\ t_2=2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

We know that the common ratio is

[tex]r=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So from this information we can get the coefficient a:

[tex]\begin{gathered} ar=\frac{1}{2} \\ a\cdot\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ a=\frac{4}{2}=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

And we also know that the last term is 1/128, that is

[tex]ar^n=\frac{1}{128}[/tex]

From this one we can find n:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(\frac{1}{4})^n=\frac{1}{128} \\ (\frac{1}{4})^n=\frac{1}{128\cdot2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can apply the property of the logarithm of power to get n:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \log ((\frac{1}{4})^n)=\log (\frac{1}{256}) \\ n\cdot\log (\frac{1}{4})^{}=\log (\frac{1}{256}) \\ n=\frac{\log (\frac{1}{256})}{\log (\frac{1}{4})} \\ n=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Be careful, because n is not the number of terms. The number of terms is n+1, so the G.P. has 5 terms
