1/a + 1/b = 1/2 (solve for a)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/a+ 1/b = 1/2

Adding the fractions we get

b+a/ab=1/2

cross Multiplying the denominator we get,

b+a=ab/2

a= ab/2 -b

Answer 2

Answer:

a = 1/(1/2 + 1/b)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/a + 1/b = 1/2

1/a = 1/2 - 1/b

1 = a(1/2 - 1/b)

1/(1/2 + 1/b) = a

Out of a sample of 500 high school students, 376 said they would prefer to have computers in every classroom. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of high school students who would prefer to have computers in every classroom.

CI = (71.41%, 78.99%)
CI = (71.98%, 79.45%)
CI = (70.23%, 80.17%)
CI = (72.02%, 78.38%)

Answers

The correct answer is  CI = (71.415%, 78.915%)

The correct option is (A)

What is Confidence level?

A confidence interval is the mean of your estimate plus and minus the variation in that estimate.

Given:

x = 376

Sample = 500 students

CI= [(376/500-1.96 √((376/500)*(124/500)/500) , (376/500-1.96                

                                                                         √((376/500)*(124/500)/500)]

CI = (71.415%, 78.915%)

Hence, CI = (71.415%, 78.915%)

Inverse of a function

Given the following coordinates and function

The inverse of "g" is determined by switching the coordinates to have:

What is the probability if a penny lands on heads 30 times after being tossed 50 times?

Answers

The probability will be equal to 60%.

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The best thing to do here is to put it into a fraction. as 30 landed heads up, 20 (50-30) must be tails.

You can then put this into a fraction, which becomes 20/50.

To turn this into a decimal, you can then divide 1 by 50

1/50= 0.02

As you've got 22 lots of this, you then need to multiply 0.02 by 20.

0.2x20= 0.40

To find the percentage, you've then got to multiply the decimal by 100.

100x0.40= 40.

Therefore, 40% of the tosses would be tails

As you've found what one percentage is, you simply need to take this number away from 100 to find the other, rather than having to go through the process again.

100-40= 60

Hi. how can i Find the *number* of terms of a finite geometric sequence?
​r= .75
a= 40
sum= 280

Answers

We have to use the formula  [tex]n = log_{r} (1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a})[/tex]  to find the number of terms of a finite geometric sequence.

If a be the first term of a finite sequence, r be the common ratio between consecutive terms and n be the number of terms.

So, we have to use the formula of sum of sequence and then calculate it to reduce the equation to find the value of number of terms, that is n.

Then, Sum of the sequence (Sn) = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n}) }{1-r}[/tex]

Here, in the given problem,

Sum(Sn) = 280, First term of the sequence(a) = 40, Common ratio(r) = 0.75

So, Sn = [tex]\frac{a(1-r^{n}) }{1-r}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]1-r^{n} =\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]r^{n} =1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a}[/tex]

   ⇒ [tex]n = log_{r} (1+\frac{S_{n}(1-r) }{a})[/tex]          

Now you have to put the values and get the number of terms.

7x-6X=-36-29

X=-65

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 2) + 5(x + 5) = 4(x-8) + 2(x - 2) ​

Distribute:

2(x + 2): 2x + 4

5(x + 5): 5x + 25

=

4(x - 8): 4x - 32

2(x - 2): 2x - 4

Combine like terms:

(2x + 4) + (5x + 25) = (4x - 32) + (2x - 4)

5x + 2x: 7x              =  4x + 2x: 6x

4 + 25 = 29             =  -32 - 4: -36

7x + 29 = 6x - 36

Now we want to separate like terms,

subtract 29 from both sides

subtract 6x from both sides

7x + 29 - 29 - 6x = 6x - 29 - 6x- 36

7x - 6x = - 29 - 36

x = -65

Express verbal statement in algebraic form.
The cost to rent a sailing boat at Catalina Island is $370 per day
plus $80 for every hour of use. What is the maximum number of
hours the sail boat can be rented for each day, if the rental cost is
not to exceed $1090 per day?

Answers

Answer:

370 + 80x ≤ 1090

Step-by-step explanation:

By using letter variables for the unknown numbers, we can break down the question into mathematical terms:

If the cost is $370 per day and the number of days is unknown, we can substitute the number of days with a placeholder. In this case, it'll be a variable such as x. So the cost can be represented by $370y.

If the cost is $80 per hour and the number of hours is unknown, we can substitute the number of hours with a placeholder. In this case, it'll be a variable such as y. So the cost can be represented by $80x.

The questions asks for the total cost not to exceed $1090 per day. This means that we know that the number of days is 1. We're trying to find the maximum number of hours, so our equation will combine the costs of both day costs and hour costs:

$370 (1 day) + $80 (x hours) ≤ $1090 per day

The symbol is the equal to or less than symbol, meaning the combined total costs is either equal to $1090 or less than it.

To simplify this, we can rewrite it as:

370 + 80x ≤ 1090

q = 5

then:

-3 + (-5) - 2 = x

we know that:

+(-) = -

then:

-3 +(-5) - 2 = -3 - 5 - 2 = x

x = -10

The value of the expression p + (-q) - 2 is -10 if the p = -3 and q = 5 the answer is -10.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

We have given an expression:

= P + (-q) - 2

Plug p = -3

q = 5

= -3 + (-5) - 2

= -3 - 5 - 2

= -10

Thus, the value of the expression p + (-q) - 2 is -10 if the p = -3 and q = 5 the answer is -10.

My friend has $672 to spend on a fence for her rectangular garden. She wants to use cedar fencing which costs $17/yard on one side, and cheaper metal fencing which costs $7/yard for the other three sides.

What are the dimensions of the garden with the largest area she can enclose?

Answers

The dimensions of the garden with the largest area she can enclose are given by 24*14 square yards.

The area (A) of the rectangle with length L and Width W is given by,

A=L*W

The maximum of [tex]y=ax^2+bx[/tex] occurs at x = -b/2a

Let the length and width of the garden be L and W respectively.

Now let my friend use cedar fencing for one width and cheaper metal fencing for rest sides.

Rate of cedar fencing is $17/yard

Then she has to pay for cedar fencing = 17W

rate of cheaper metal fencing is $7/yard

Then she has to pay for metal fencing = 7W+7*2L = 7W+14L

Then according to condition,

17W+7W+14L = 672

24W+14L = 672

12W+7L = 336

7L = 336-12W

L = (336-12W)/7

Then the area of the rectangular garden is given by,

A = L*W

[tex]A=\frac{336-12W}{7}\times W\\A=-\frac{12}{7}W^2+48W[/tex]

So here a = -12/7 and b = 48

Then maximum of W occurs at,

W = -48/(2*(-12/7)) = (48*7)/(2*12) = 336/24 = 14

Then maximum width = 14 yards

then length (L) = (336-12*14)/7 = 168/7 = 24 yards

Hence the dimensions with the leargest area she can enclose is given by = 24 * 14 square yards.
