Firstly, let's make a diagram of prerequisites:

Comment: The number within parenthesis denotes the time required to complete the corresponding task.

Now, let's make our schedule based upon the priority list:

[tex]T_1,T_6,T_2,T_7,T_8,T_5,T_4,T_3,T_9[/tex]

First, we need to know which are the ready tasks (tasks without prerequisites). By the diagram is clear that they are T_1, T_2, and T_3. Then, we need to look at their priority in the priority list. Between them, T_1 has the greatest urgency; this implies that it must be the first in processor 1 (P1). Now, in terms of urgency, T_2 follows T_1; let's assign it to the second processor (P2).

Comment: In the priority list, T_6 is before T_2, but we can't assign it now for it has prerequisites that have not been completed.

After three seconds, the first processor will be free. Let's check the (new) ready tasks having completed T_1. Note that T_1 doesn't unlock any task by itself. Then, the unique ready task now is T_3; let's assign it to the first processor. By similar reasoning, after four seconds the second processor will be free, and we're going to assign T_5 to it... AND SO ON.

I'm going to finish the schedule following these reasonings, and after that, we're going to discuss the answer to the questions.

The speedometer on Leona's car shows the speed in both miles per hour and kilometers per hour. Using 1.6 km as the equivalent for 1 mi, find the mile per hour rate that is equivalent to 40 kilometers per hour.

Answers

To find the mile per hour rate equivalent to 40 km per hour, let's convert 40km to miles using the given equivalence in the question.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.6\operatorname{km}=1mi \\ 40\operatorname{km}\times\frac{1mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=\frac{40\operatorname{km}mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=25mi \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, 40 km = 25 miles.

The mile per hour rate equivalent to 40km per hour is 25 miles per hour.

Answers

We know it's a linear function, which is like

[tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex]

We can find the slope "m" of the linear function doing

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

There the points x₂, x₁, y₂ and y₁ we can take what's more convenient for us, just be careful, if you do x₁ = 0, you must take the correspondent y₁, the value of y on the same column, therefore y₁ = 3, for example.

I'll do x₁ = 0 which implies y₁ = 3 and x₂ = 1 which implies y₂ = 7. Therefore

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{7_{}-3}{1_{}-0_{}} \\ \\ m=\frac{7_{}-3}{1_{}}=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the slope is m = 4, then

[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]

To find out the "b" value we can use the fact that when x = 0 we have y = 3, therefore

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x+b \\ \\ 3=4\cdot0+b \\ \\ 3=b \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then b = 3, our equation is

Elaina started a savings account
with $3,000. The account earned
$10 each month in interest over a
5-year period. Find the interest
rate.

Answers

Using the simple interest formula, the rate of interest is 0.67%.

In the given question,

Elaina started a savings account with $3,000. The account earned $10 each month in interest over a 5-year period.

We have to find the interest rate.

The money that Elaina have in her account is $3000.

The interest that she earned = $10

The time period is 5 year,

We find the interest rate using he simple interest formula.

The formula of simple interest define by

I = P×R×T/100

where I is the interest.

P is principal amount.

R is rate of interest.

T is time period.

From the question, P = $3000, I = $10, T = 5

Now putting the value

10 = 3000×R×5/10

Simplifying

10 = 300×R×5

10 = 1500×R

Divide by 1500 on both side

10/1500 = 1500×R/1500

0.0067 = R

R = 0.0067

To express in percent we multiply and divide with 100.

R = 0.0067×100/100

R = 0.67%

Hence, the rate of interest is 0.67%.

The figure below is a trapezoid:10011050mZ1 =m2 =mZ3=Blank 1:Blank 2:Blank 3:

Answers

STEP 1: Identify and Set Up

We have a trapezoid divided by a straight line that divides it assymetrically. We know from the all too famous geometric rule that adjacent angles in a trapezoid are supplementary. Mathematically, we can express thus:

[tex]100^o+<2+<3^{}=180^o=50^o+110^o+<1[/tex]

Hence, from this relation, we can find our unknown angles.

STEP 2: Execute

For <1

[tex]\begin{gathered} 180^o=50^o+110^o+<1 \\ 180^o=160^o+<1 \\ \text{Subtracting 160}^o\text{ from both sides gives} \\ <1=180-120=60^o \end{gathered}[/tex]

<1 = 60 degrees

For <2 & <3

We know from basic geometry that a transversal across two parallel lines gives a pair of alternate angles and as such, <1 = <3 = 60 degrees

We employ our first equation to solve for <2 as seen below:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 100^o+<2+<3^{}=180^o \\ 100^o+<2+60^o=180^o \\ 160^o+<2=180^o \\ \text{Subtracting 160}^{o\text{ }}\text{ from both sides gives:} \\ <2=180-160=20^o \end{gathered}[/tex]

A chemist needs to strengthen a 34% alcohol solution with a 50% solution to obtain a 44% solution. How much of the 50% solution should be added to 285 millilitres of the 34% solution? Round your final answer to 1 decimal place.

Answers

Answer: 475 ml of 50% solution is needed

Explanation:

Let x represent the volume of the 50% solution needed.

From the information given,

volume of 34% alcohol solution = 285

Volume of the mixture of 34% solution and 50% solution = x + 285

Concentration of 44% mixture = 44/100 * (x + 285) = 0.44(x + 285)

Concentration of 34% alcohol solution = 34/100 * 285 = 96.9

Concentration of 50% solution = 50/100 * x = 0.5x

Thus,

96.9 + 0.5x = 0.44(x + 285)

By multiplying the terms inside the parentheses with the term outside, we have

96.9 + 0.5x = 0.44x + 125.4

0.5x - 0.44x = 125.4 - 96.9

0.06x = 28.5

x = 28.5/0.06

Answers

For topic (1), we have the following question:

Which of the following is a function: y=x² or x=y²?

Identify domain and range of each equation.

We can identify a given relation if it is a function or not by identifying the number of possible values of y.

The equations below are both relations.

[tex]y=x^2\text{ and }x=y^2[/tex]

However, only one of them is a function.

For the first equation, note that for each value of x, there is only one value of y. Some of the points on the equation are as follows.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-2 \\ y=x^2^{} \\ y=(-2)^2=4 \\ \\ x=0 \\ y=x^2 \\ y=0^2=0 \\ \\ x=2 \\ y=x^2 \\ y=2^2 \\ y=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the equation passes through the following points.

[tex](-2,4),(0,0),(2,4)[/tex]

Notice that no value of x is repeated. Therefore, the given relation is a function.

We can also determine it using graphs. The image below is the graph of the first equation.

If we test it using the vertical line test, no vertical line can pass through the graph twice. Therefore, it shows that the equation is a function.

On the otherhand, the other equation is not a function. This is because when we substitute -2 and 2 to the value of y, we will have the same value of x, which is equal to 4.

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-2^{} \\ x=y^2 \\ x=(-2)^2=4 \\ \\ y=2 \\ x=y^2^{} \\ x=2^2=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since there are two values of y for only one value of x, the equation must not be a function.

To illustrate this using its graph, we can notice that the vertical line below passes through two points on the graph when x=4.

Therefore, the second equation is not a function.

As for the domain and range, we can obtain it from both graphs.

The domain the set of all possible values of x. Thus, for the first equation, since it extends indefinitely to the left and right, the domain must be from negative infinity to positive infinity.

[tex]D_1\colon(-\infty,\infty)[/tex]

On the otherhand, since the second equation extends indefinitely to the right from 0, the domain must be from 0 to positive infinity, inclusive.

[tex]D_2\colon\lbrack0,\infty)[/tex]

As for the range, it is the set of all possible values of y.

Thus, for the first equation, since the graph extends indefinitely upwards from 0, the range must be from 0 to positive infinity, inclusive.

[tex]R_1\colon\lbrack0,\infty)[/tex]

On the otherhand, the graph of the second equation extends indefinitely upwards and downwards. Thus, its range must be from negative infinity to positive infinity.

[tex]R_2\colon(-\infty,\infty)[/tex]

To summarize, here are the questions and the answers for each question.

Which of the following is a function: y=x² or x=y²?

Answer: y=x²

Identify domain and range of each equation.

Answer:

For y=x²:

[tex]\begin{gathered} D\colon\text{ (-}\infty,\infty\text{)} \\ R\colon\lbrack0,\infty) \end{gathered}[/tex]

For x=y²:

[tex]\begin{gathered} D\colon\lbrack0,\infty) \\ R\colon(-\infty,\infty) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using mathematical operations, we know that the salary of a person working for 52 hours a week will be $493.

What are mathematical operations?An operation is a function in mathematics that transforms zero or more input values into a clearly defined output value. The operation's arity is determined by the number of operands. The rules that specify the order in which we should solve an expression involving multiple operations are known as the order of operations. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, and Addition Subtraction (from left to right).

So, the amount earned by a person who works 52 hours a week:

Salary if a person works for 40 hours: $8.50 per hourSalary if a person works for more than 40 hours: 1.5 times $8.50 per hour that is, 8.50 × 1.5 = $12.75 per hour.

So, if a worker works for 52 hours, his salary will be:

52 - 40 = 12 Hours40 × 8.50 = $34012 × 12.75 = $153Sum: $493

Therefore, using mathematical operations, we know that the salary of a person working for 52 hours a week will be $493.

Growth Models 19515. In 1968, the U.S. minimum wage was $1.60 per hour. In 1976, the minimum wagewas $2.30 per hour. Assume the minimum wage grows according to an exponentialmodel where n represents the time in years after 1960.a. Find an explicit formula for the minimum wage.b. What does the model predict for the minimum wage in 1960?c. If the minimum wage was $5.15 in 1996, is this above, below or equal to whatthe model predicts?

Answers

In general, the exponential growth function is given by the formula below

[tex]f(x)=a(1+r)^x[/tex]

Where a and r are constants, and x is the number of time intervals.

In our case, n=0 for 1960; therefore, 1968 is n=8,

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(8)=a(1+r)^8 \\ \text{and} \\ f(8)=1.6 \\ \Rightarrow1.6=a(1+r)^8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

And 1976 is n=16

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(16)=a(1+r)^{16} \\ \text{and} \\ f(16)=2.3 \\ \Rightarrow2.3=a(1+r)^{16} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solve the two equations simultaneously, as shown below

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1.6}{(1+r)^8}=a \\ \Rightarrow2.3=\frac{1.6}{(1+r)^8}(1+r)^{16} \\ \Rightarrow2.3=1.6(1+r)^8 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{2.3}{1.6}=(1+r)^8 \\ \Rightarrow(\frac{2.3}{1.6})^{\frac{1}{8}}=(1+r)^{}^{} \\ \Rightarrow r=(\frac{2.3}{1.6})^{\frac{1}{8}}-1 \\ \Rightarrow r=0.0464078 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solving for a,

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=0.0464078 \\ \Rightarrow a=\frac{1.6}{(1+0.0464078)^8}=1.113043\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]

a) Thus, the equation is

[tex]\Rightarrow f(n)=1.113043\ldots(1+0.0464078\ldots)^n[/tex]

b) 1960 is n=0; thus,

[tex]f(0)=1.113043\ldots(1+0.0464078\ldots)^0=1.113043\ldots[/tex]

The answer to part b) is $1.113043... per hour

c)1996 is n=36

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(36)=1.113043\ldots(1+0.0464078\ldots)^{36} \\ \Rightarrow f(36)=5.6983\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]

The model prediction is above $5.15 by $0.55 approximately. The answer is 'below'

In 2011, an earthquake in Chile measured 8.3 on the Richter scale. How many times more intense was thisearthquake then than the 2011 earthquake in Papa, New Guinea that measured 7.1 on the Richter scale? Roundthe answer to the nearest integer.

Answers

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In this question, we are given that:

In 2011, an earthquake in Chile measured 8.3 on the Richter scale. How many times more intense was this earthquake then than the 2011 earthquake in Papa, New Guinea that measured 7.1 on the Richter scale?

Round the answer to the nearest integer.

Step 2:

From the question, we are to use this formula:

Now, we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} M_2-M_1=\log (\frac{I_2}{I_1}) \\ \text{where M}_2=\text{ 8.3} \\ \text{and} \\ M_1=\text{ 7. 1} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, we have that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{8. 3 - 7. 1 = log ( }\frac{I_2}{I_1}) \\ 1.2=log_{10}\text{ (}\frac{I_2}{I_1}) \\ (\frac{I_2}{I_1})\text{ = }10^{1.2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

CONCLUSION:

The final answer is:

[tex](\frac{I_2}{I_1})=10^{1.\text{ 2}}[/tex]

EXPLANATION :

Over which interval(s) is the function decreasing?A) -4 < x < 3B) -0.5 < x < ∞C) -∞ < x < -0.5D) -∞ < x < -4

Answers

In the interval where the function is decreasingcreasing, the input or x values increase as the output or y values decrease. Looking at the graph, moving from the left to the right, the values of x are increasing whie the values of y are decreasing. This trend continued till we got to x = 0.5. Thus, in the interval from negative infinity to x = - 0.5, the function was decreasing.

The correct option is C
