a. Write an expression that represents the phrase "one third the difference of 15 and a number."

The slope of line AB with points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7) is 2/5.

The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.

We have,

A(4, 5) and B(9, 7)

The slope of a line with points A and B is given by:

= d - b / c - a

Where A(a, b) and B(c, d) are the coordinates of the points.

We have the points:

A(4, 5) = (a, b)

B(9, 7) = (c, d)

The slope of the line AB:

= (7 - 5) / (9 - 4) = 2 / 5

Therefore the slope of line AB with points A(4, 5) and B(9, 7) is 2/5.

If the school earns $264 for 8 senior tickets and 12 child tickets and $237 for 11 senior tickets and 6 child tickets then the price of 1 senior ticket be $15 and the price of child ticket be $12.

Given that on the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 8 senior citizen tickets and 12 child tickets for a total of $264 and the school earns $237 on IInd day by selling 11 senior citizen tickets and 6 child tickets.

We are required to define the variables and solve the system of the equations.

Suppose the price of 1 ticket of senior citizen be x.

Suppose the price of 1 ticket of child be y.

The equations will be:

8x+12y=264--------1

11x+6y=237--------2

Multiply equation 1 by 11 and multiply equation 2 by 8 and then subtract equation 2 from equation 1.

88x+132y-88x-48y=2904-1896

84y=1008

y=1008/84

y=12

Use the value of y in equation 1 to get the value of x.

8x+12y=264

8x+12*12=264

8x+144=264

8x=264-144

8x=120

x=120/8

x=15

Hence if the school earns $264 for 8 senior tickets and 12 child tickets and $237 for 11 senior tickets and 6 child tickets then the price of 1 senior ticket be $15 and the price of child ticket be $12.

The cost of a Senior citizen ticket is $15, while a children's ticket cost $12.

On the first day:

The school sold 12 child tickets and 8 senior citizen tickets for a total amount of $264.

On the second day:

The school sold 11 senior citizen tickets and 6 child tickets for a total of $237.

Let A be the price of a senior citizen ticket and B be the price of a child ticket.

So, the equation for the first day:

8A + 12B = 264

The equation for the second day,

11A + 6B = 237

Multiplying the equation for the second day by 2 and subtracting the equation for the first day.

We get,

22A + 12B - 8A - 12B = 474 - 264

14A = 210

A = 15

Substituting the value of A in the equation 8A + 12B = 264,

8A + 12B = 264

8(15) + 12B = 264

120 + 12B = 264

12B = 144

B = 12

Therefore, the price of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the price of a child ticket is $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]18x^2+6x-4=0[/tex]

Add 4 to both sides:

[tex]\implies 18x^2+6x-4+4=0+4[/tex]

[tex]\implies 18x^2+6x=4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 18:

[tex]\implies \dfrac{18x^2}{18}+\dfrac{6x}{18}=\dfrac{4}{18}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2+\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]

Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides:

[tex]\implies x^2+\dfrac{1}{3}x+\left(\dfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{2}{9}+\left(\dfrac{\frac{1}{3}}{2}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^2+\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{36}=\dfrac{2}{9}+\dfrac{1}{36}[/tex]

Factor the perfect square trinomial on the left side and combine the numbers on the right side:

[tex]\implies \left(x+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Square root both sides:

[tex]\implies \sqrt{\left(x+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{1}{6}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{1}{6}=\pm \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

[tex]\implies x+\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\pm\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-\dfrac{1}{6}\pm\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

The garden has a length of 37.5 yards and width of 37.5 yards as well as an opening of 12.5 yards.

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width.

150 yards of fencing is available, hence:

2(x + y) = 150

x + y = 75

y = 75 - x     (1)

The area (A) of the garden is given as:

A = xy

A = x(75 - x)

A = 75x - x²

The maximum area is at A' = 0

A' = 75 - 2x

75 - 2x = 0

x = 37.5 yards

y = 75 - x = 75 - 37.5 = 37.5

Opening of the garden = 1/3 * 37.5 = 12.5 yards

The length and width of the yard with perimeter of 400 feet are 136 ft and 64 ft respectively.

The yard has a perimeter of 400 feet.

Eight times the length of the yard equals seventeen times the width.

Therefore,

perimeter of a rectangular yard = 2(l + w)

where

Therefore,

8l = 17w

Hence,

l = 17 / 8 w

perimeter of a rectangular yard = 2(17 / 8 w + w)

perimeter of a rectangular yard = 2( 25  /8 w)

perimeter of a rectangular yard = 50/ 8 w

400 = 50 / 8 w

cross multiply

3200 = 50w

divide both sides by 50

w = 3200 / 50

w = 64 ft

l = 17 / 8 × 64 = 136 ft

The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle. With a diameter of 49m, the circumference can be calculated as C = π(49) ≈ 153.94m. Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately 153.94 meters.

In the differential equation

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx} + 12y = \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi x}{12}\right)[/tex]

multiply on both sides by the integrating factor

[tex]\mu = \exp\left(\displaystyle\int12\,dx\right) = e^{12x}[/tex]

Then the left side condenses to the derivative of a product.

[tex]e^{12x} \dfrac{dy}{dx} + 12 e^{12x} y = e^{12x} \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi x}{12}\right)[/tex]

Solve for [tex]C[/tex].

[tex]y(0)=0 \implies 0 = \dfrac1{12(12^4+\pi^2)} \left(12^4 + 0\right) + C \implies C = -\dfrac{12^3}{12^4+\pi^2}[/tex]

So, the particular solution to the initial value problem is

Whatever [tex]R[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex] may actually be, the point here is that we can condense [tex]y[/tex] into a single cosine expression, so choice (D) is correct, since [tex]\cos(x)[/tex] is periodic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression is |2x − 8| < 2

The absolute rule says that if |u| < a then -a < u < a

Here u = 2x-8

So we get -2 < 2x - 8 < 2

This means

2x - 8 > -2            

==> 2x > -2 + 8       (add 8 to both sides)

==> 2x > 6               (simplify)

==> x > 3                  (divide by 2 both sides)

and,

2x - 8 < 2 gives

==> 2x < 2 + 8          (add 8 to both sides)

==> 2x < 10              (simplify)

==> x < 5                  (divide by 2 both sides)

Answer:

The reference angle is π/6.

Cosine is -(√3)/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reference angle, find the acute angle in quadrant I and use it as a reference for the given expression.

For the cosine, the cosine is the sine of the complementary angle. The complementary angle is the given angle beside it minus a right angle, which is exactly 90 degrees. If the angle is 25 degrees, its complementary angle will be double its amount, 50 degrees. Then, for angle angle measured "theta", the cosine is equal to the sine's right-angle subtracted by theta.
