Angela bought two pairs of shoes for a total of $138$ The difference in the price of shoes was $42. How much was the more expensive pair of shoes? Use systems of equations to solve. You must use substitution to solve

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = Less Expensive Shoe

Variable y = More Expensive Shoe

Set up equations:

x + y = 138

x + 42 = y

The problem says to use substitution to solve, meaning we must substitute one variable for a different value. I will substitute variable y in the first equation for x + 42 as this equals y in the second equation.

x + x + 42 = 138

Combine like terms

2x + 42 = 138

Subtract both sides by 42 to isolate variable x

2x = 96

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate variable x

x = 48

Substitute variable x for 48 and solve for y. I will use the second equation for this.

48 + 42 = y

Combine like terms

90 = y

I defined y as the more expensive pair of shoes. Since the problem only asks for the price of the more expensive shoes, the answer is $90.

After sitting out of a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at room temperature (69°F) is
placed into an oven. The oven temperature is 300°F. Newton's Law of Heating
explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the
difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the oven, as
given by the formula below:
T = Ta + (T. – T.)e-kt
Tg = the temperature surrounding the object
To = the initial temperature of the object
t= the time in hours
T = the temperature of the object after t hours
k = decay constant
The turkey reaches the temperature of 127°F after 3 hours. Using this information,
find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to
determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 5
hours.
Enter only the final temperature into the input box.

Please check my math and typing for accuracy.

Week 1: 2 2/3       =  8/3  x  8/8            =   64/24

Week 2: 1/8          =  1/8   x  3/3            =   3/24

Week 3: 1 3/4       =  7/4  x  6/6            =   42/24

Week 4: 1/2          =   1/2  x  12/12         =   12/24

                                                              =   (64+3+42+12)/24

                                                              =    121/24        24 times 5 = 120

A nurse is investigating the birth weights of​ non-premature babies. She selects a random sample of 41 such​ babies, and found a mean weight of 3506.4 grams and a sample standard deviation of
494.2 grams. Find a 95​% confidence interval for the mean birth weight of all ​non-premature babies. Show your calculation for the confidence interval as well as the final confidence interval rounded to one decimal place. Then write a sentence that gives the interpretation of your confidence​ interval, including the correct units.

Answers

Answer:

The 95​% confidence interval for the mean birth weight of all ​non-premature babies is between 3350.4 grams and 3662.4 grams. This means that we are 95% sure that true mean birth weight of all non-premature babies is in this interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 41 - 1 = 40

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 40 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0211

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0211\frac{494.2}{\sqrt{41}} = 156[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 3506.4 - 156 = 3350.4 grams

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 3506.4 + 156 = 3662.4 grams

The 95​% confidence interval for the mean birth weight of all ​non-premature babies is between 3350.4 grams and 3662.4 grams. This means that we are 95% sure that true mean birth weight of all non-premature babies is in this interval.

A cylinder is shown below.

Answers

It should be the first one since I got 245.0442 which is the closest to it

Answer: 244. 92 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area formula for a cylinder is written as SA = 2πrh + 2πr^2

The dimensions of the cylinder has a length of 6 cm diameter and a height of 10 cm. Radius is basically half of the diameter, so 3 cm. We use these numbers to substitute into the formula.

SA = 2π(3)(10) + 2π3^2

SA = 2π(30) + 2π(9)

SA = 60π + 18π

SA = 78π

SA = 245.044 cm

244.92 is close enough to 245.004, so 244.92 is the answer.

1/3 ln(x) + ln(2) - ln(3) = 3

Recall that [tex]m\log_b(n)=\log_b(n^m)[/tex], so

ln(x ¹ʹ³) + ln(2) - ln(3) = 3

Condense the left side by using sum and difference properties of logarithms:

[tex]\log_b(m)+\log_b(n)=\log_b(mn)[/tex]

[tex]\log_b(m)-\log_b(n)=\log_b\left(\dfrac mn\right)[/tex]

Then

ln(2/3 x ¹ʹ³) = 3

Take the exponential of both sides; that is, write both sides as powers of the constant e. (I'm using exp(x) = e ˣ so I can write it all in one line.)

exp(ln(2/3 x ¹ʹ³)) = exp(3)

Now exp(ln(x)) = x for all x, so this simplifies to

2/3 x ¹ʹ³ = exp(3)

Now solve for x. Multiply both sides by 3/2 :

3/2 × 2/3 x ¹ʹ³ = 3/2 exp(3)

x ¹ʹ³ = 3/2 exp(3)

Raise both sides to the power of 3:

(x ¹ʹ³)³ = (3/2 exp(3))³

x = 3³/2³ exp(3×3)

x = 27/8 exp(9)

which is the same as

x = 27/8 e
