The Hughes family and the Gonzalez family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Hughes family's sprinkler was used for 15 hours. The Gonzalez family's sprinkler was used for 35 hours. There was a combined total output of 1475 L of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 65 L per hour?
Answer:
Hughes Family: 40 L/ hour
Gonzalez family: 25L/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the following variables to denote the output rates for each sprinkler.
Let H = water output rate for the Hughes family
Let G = water output rate for the Gonzalez family
(I am using H ang G rather than the traditionally used X and Y to easily identify which rate belongs to which family)
The general equation for the volume of water outputted, V, in time h hours at a rate of r per hour is
V = r x h
Given r
Using this fact
Water Output for Hughes family at rate H for 15 hours = 15H
Water Output for Gonzalez family at rate G for 35 hours = 35 G
The total of both outputs = 1475
That gives us one equation
15H + 35G = 1475 [1]
We are given the combined rate as 65 L per hour
Sum of the two rates = combined rate
H + G = 65 [2]
Let's write down these two equations and solve for H and GA paper airplane contest is being held. The following results are found: 80% of the participants used a triangle shape. The triangle shaped planes only won their trials 16% of the time. The other shaped planes won their trials 36% of the time. Create a tree diagram for this situation: What is the probability that a triangle plane won overall?Out of 100 planes, which shape has the most winners?A winning plane is selected at random, what is the chance it is triangle shaped?
Given:
Percent of participants that used triangles shape = 80% = 0.80
The triangles shaped won their trials 16% of the time = 0.16
The other shaped plane won their trials 36% of the time = 0.36
Thus, we have:
Percent of participants who used other shapes = 100% - 80% = 20% = 0.20
Amount of time the triangle shaped plane lost = 100% - 16% =84% = 0.84
Amount of time the other shaped plane lost = 100% - 36% = 64% = 0.64
Let's solve for the following:
• (a) Create a tree diagram for this situation.
We have the tree diagram below:
• (b) What is the probability that a triangle plane won overall?
To find the probability that a triangle plane won overall, we have:
[tex]P(\text{triangle)}=\frac{0.8\times0.16}{(0.8\times0.16)+(0.2\times0.36)}=\frac{0.128}{0.128+0.072}=0.64[/tex]• (c) Out of 100 planes, which shape has the most winners?
Given that 80% used triangle, the number of planes with triangle shape will be:
0.8 x 100 = 80 planes
Number of planes with other shape:
0.2 x 100 = 20 planes
Number of winners for traingles:
0.16 x 80 = 12.8
Number of winners for other shape:
0.36 x 20 = 7.2
Therefore, the shape with the most winners is the triangle shape.
• (d),. A winning plane is selected at random, what is the chance it is triangle shaped?
To find the probability a winning plane selected at random is triangle shaped, wehave:
[tex]P(\text{triangle)}=\frac{12.8}{12.8+7.2}=\frac{12.8}{20}=0.64[/tex]ANSWER:
(b) 0.64
(c) Triangle shape
(d) 0.64
Express the interval using inequality notation(1,6)
The interval (1, 6) contains all the real numbers between 1 and 6, not including any of the endpoints.
This can be written in inequality notation as:
x >1 AND x < 6
But there is a shorter way to write the interval by combining both inequalities:
1 < x < 6
Set up the system of equations:The cost of 4 bananas and 6 pears is $1.68. Nine bananas and 2 pears cost $1.48. Set up thesystem of equations to find the cost of each banana and pear.4B + 6P = 1.689B - 2P = 1.484B + 6P + 1.689B + 2P + 1.484B + 6P = 1.689B + 2P = 1484B = 6P + 1.689B = 2P + 148
Solution:
Let b represent the cost of 1 banana
Let p represent the cost of 1 pear
From the first statement, The cost of 4 bananas and 6 pears is $1.68
4b + 6p = 1.68 ----------------------------equation (1)
From the second statement, Nine bananas and 2 pears cost $1.48
9b + 2p = 1.48 -----------------------------equation (2)
Solve both equations simultaneously
4b + 6p = 1.68 ----------------------------equation (1)
9b + 2p = 1.48 -----------------------------equation (2)
Multiply equation (2) by 3 to eliminate p
27b + 6p = 4.44
4b + 6p = 1.68
Subtract both equatuions above
23b = 2.76
b = 2.76/23
b= 0.12
Substitute b = 0.12 into equation (1)
9b + 2p = 1.48
9(0.12) + 2p = 1.48
1.08 + 2p = 1.48
2p = 1.48 - 1.08
2p = 0.4
p = 0.4/2
p = 0.2
Hence, the cost of each banana is $0.12 while the cost of each pear is $0.2
Identify the type(s) of symmetry for the graph below.Select all that apply. aSymmetry with respect to the line \small \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} bSymmetry with respect to the polar axis cSymmetry with respect to the pole
The line θ=π/2 is the vertical line in the polar grid, the polar axis is the horizontal line and the pole is the center of coordinates. Now let's analyze the symmetries:
If the grpah is symmetric with respect to θ=π/2 then the graph at the left of this line has to be the mirrored image of the graph at the right side. This is the case of this graph so it does have symmetry with respect to θ=π/2.
For the polar axis is the same, the graph above the axis has to be the mirrored image of that below the axis. However in this case we have two "petals" above the polar axis and one below so the upper part is not the mirrored version of the lower part so it has no symmetry with respect to this axis.
For the pole we must rotate the graph 180°. If the graph remains unchanged then it is symmetric with respect to it. In this case if we rotate the graph 180° the lower petal ends up in the opposite direction so the graph changes after a 180° rotation and it has no symmetry with respect to the pole.
Then the only type of symmetry is with respect to the line θ=π/2 and the answer is option a.

6 Equations of parallel and perpendicular lines VEB
The equation for line u can be written as y = -x + 1. Line v, which is perpendicular to line
u, includes the point (-3, 2). What is the equation of line v?
Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as simplified
proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.
Answer:
y = 4/9x +10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the slope-intercept equation of the line through point (-3, 2) that is perpendicular to the line y = -9/4x +1.
Slope-intercept equationThe slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . m is the slope, b is the y-intercept
In order to write the desired equation, we need to know the desired slope and the y-intercept that makes the line go through the given point.
SlopeThe slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given line equation is in slope-intercept form, so the coefficient of x is the slope of it: -9/4.
The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this:
m = -1/(-9/4) = 4/9
Y-interceptSolving the slope-intercept form equation for b, we find ...
b = y - mx
Using the values of x and y for the given point, and the slope we just found, we have ...
b = 2 -(4/9)(-3) = 2 +4/3 = 10/3
Desired equationThe slope-intercept equation for a line with slope 4/9 and y-intercept 2/3 is ...
y = 4/9x +10/3
__
Additional comment
It can also be useful to start from the point-slope equation:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
Your line is ...
y -2 = 4/9(x +3) . . . . . . use m=opposite reciprocal of -9/4; (h, k) = (-3, 2)
y = 4/9x +(4/9)(3) +2 = 4/9x +10/3 . . . . . . add 2 and simplify
There are two machines that produce aluminum cans. The newer machine can produce 5700 cans in 190 minutes. It takesthe older machine 285 minutes to produce that many cans. If the two machines work together, how long will it take them to produce 5700 cans?
114 minutes
Explanation
Step 1
find the rate of production of each machine (cans per minute)
so
a)The newer machine:
[tex]\begin{gathered} rate=\frac{cans\text{ }}{time} \\ rate_1=\frac{5700\text{ cans}}{190\text{ minutes}}=30\text{ }\frac{cans}{minute} \end{gathered}[/tex]b)the older machine:
[tex]\begin{gathered} rate=\frac{cans\text{ }}{time} \\ rate_2=\frac{5700\text{ cans}}{285\text{ minutes}}=20\text{ }\frac{cans}{minute} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
Add the rates together to determine their combined
[tex]\begin{gathered} rate_{total}=rate_1+rate_2 \\ rate_{total}=30\text{ }\frac{cans}{minute}+20\frac{cans}{m\imaginaryI nute} \\ rate_{total}=50\text{ }\frac{cans}{minute} \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the total rate( both machine working ) is 50 cans per minute
Step 3
finally, to find the time to produce 5700 cans, divide the total cans by the rate, so
[tex]\begin{gathered} time=\frac{number\text{ of cans}}{rate} \\ time=\frac{5700\text{ cans}}{50\frac{cans}{minute}}=114minutes \\ time=\text{ 114 minutes} \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore, the answer is 114 minutes

4.) explain clearly in your own words why the triangles and figure 12.3 to have area 1/2 (b•h) for the given choice of base B and height h
The area of the right angled triangle as well as that of the isosceles triangle is calculated as
Area = 1/2 (b * h)
The explanation is logical, observe the right angled triangle (the one on the left) and you'll see that the length covered by the height (labelled as h) is not the entire width covered by the base (labelled as b) unlike what you have in a rectangle or square. Its only logical to multiply the base by half of the height, otherwise you might end up calculating the area of a rectangle.

Find the domain of the function. Write the domain in interval notation.
The domain of a function is the possible values of "t" that the given function can take.
Since the variable "t" is in the denominator, the denominator cannot be equal to zero because it would make the function undefined.
Hence, t - 4 must be greater than zero. For t - 4 to be greater than zero, the value of t must be greater than 4.
In addition, since the variable is inside the radical sign, then the function itself cannot be negative.
Hence, the domain of this function must be greater than 4. In interval notation, it is (4, ∞).

How to determine the class interval of the median class?From the question, we have
Number of students = 30
This represents the total frequency
So, we have
Total frequency = 30
The median position is then calculated as
Median = (Total frequency + 1)/2
Substitute the known values in the above equation
