In a particular country railroad miles have been on the decline and the miles of roads in the highway system have been increasing. The function y=-1250.2x + 142,602 represents the railrond miles, while the function y=501.5x + 158,449 models the number of

highway miles. For each function, x is the number of years after 1995


b. Find the year in which it is estimated that the number of the country's railroad miles and the number of the country's highway miles were the same.

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year ___.(Round down to the nearest your)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1986

Step-by-step explanation:

Function that represents railroad miles

[tex]y=-1250.2x + 142602[/tex]

Function that represents number of highway miles

[tex]y=501.5x + 158449[/tex]

We have to find in which year (1995+x) the miles of railroad and highway is the same so

[tex]-1250.2x + 142602=501.5x + 158449\\\Rightarrow -1250.2x-501.5x=158449-142606\\\Rightarrow -1751.7x=15843\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{15843}{1751.7}\\\Rightarrow x=-9.044\ \text{years}\approx -9\ \text{years}[/tex]

So, the year is [tex]1995+x=1995+(-9)=1986[/tex]

In the year 1986 the railroad and highway miles were equal.

Answer 2

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year 1986.

Given

The function y =-1250.2x + 142,602 represents the railrond miles.

While the function y =501.5x + 158,449 models the number of highway miles.

For each function, x is the number of years after 1995.

The year in which it is estimated that the number of the country's railroad miles and the number of the country's highway miles were the same.

Therefore,

[tex]\rm -1250.2x + 142,602=501.5x + 158,449\\\\-1250.2x -501.5x = 158,449-142,602\\\\-1751.7x=15847\\\\x = \dfrac{15847}{-1751.7}\\\\x=-9[/tex]

Then,

1995 - 9 = 1986

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year 1986.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Scale\ Factor = 1.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for proper presentation of question.

From the attachment, we have:

[tex]A = 7[/tex]

[tex]A' = 10.5[/tex]

Required

Determine the scale factor

To solve this, simply divide the circumference of A' by that of A.

This gives the scale factor used

i.e.

[tex]Scale\ Factor = \frac{A'}{A}[/tex]

Substitute values for A and A'

[tex]Scale\ Factor = \frac{10.5}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Scale\ Factor = 1.5[/tex]

Hence, the scale factor used is 1.5

Additional Note:

If the given parameters had been the area of A and A', you'll need to first solve for the radius of both circles.

Then determine the scale factor by A'/A

The following is a set of hypotheses, some information from one or more samples, and a standard error from a randomization distribution. Test H0 : p=0.28 vs Ha : p<0.28 when the sample has n=800, and p^=0.217 with SE=0.01.

Required:
Find the value of the standardized z-test statistic.

Answers

Answer:

Z = -6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]\mathbf{H_o :p= 0.28}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{H_o :p < 0.28}[/tex]

Since the alternative hypothesis is less than 0.28, then this is a left-tailed hypothesis.

Sample sixe n = 800

[tex]\hat p[/tex] = 0.217

The standard error [tex]S.E(p) = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]S.E(p) = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.28(1-0.28)}{800}}[/tex]

[tex]S.E(p) \simeq0.015[/tex]

Since this is a single proportional test, the test statistics can be computed as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{\hat p - p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \dfrac{0.217- 0.28}{0.01}[/tex]

Z = -6.3

In triangle PQR m angle P=60°, and m angle Q=30°, and m angle R=90°. Which of the following statements about triangle PQR are true? Check all that apply.

Answers

Answer: A, C, and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements about triangle PQR.are given by options A), B), and F) and this can be determined by using the trigonometric functions.

Given :

In triangle PQR, angle P is 60°, angle Q is 30° and angle R is 90°.

The trigonometric functions can be used in order to determine the correct statements about triangle PQR.

[tex]\rm sin30 = \dfrac{PR}{QP}[/tex]

[tex]\rm PQ = 2\;PR[/tex]

[tex]\rm cos30 = \dfrac{QR}{QP}[/tex]

[tex]\rm tan30 = \dfrac{PR}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]\rm \sqrt{3}\; PR= QR[/tex]

[tex]\rm sin60 = \dfrac{QR}{PR}[/tex]

[tex]\rm QR=\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \;PR[/tex]

[tex]\rm cos60 = \dfrac{PR}{QP}[/tex]

[tex]\rm PR=2\;PQ[/tex]

[tex]\rm tan60 = \dfrac{QR}{PR}[/tex]

[tex]\rm PR=\sqrt{3} \; QR[/tex]

Marcellus is making a deposit that will leave him with a balance of $381. He noticed that if he added $54 to the amount he started with in his account and then tripled the sum, he would get the new amount. How much did Marcellus originally have in his account?

Part A: Which equation represents the situation?

A. 3m + 54 = 381, where m represents the amount originally in his account
B. 3(m + 54) = 381, where m represents the amount originally in his account
C. 3m − 54 = 381, where m represents the amount originally in his account
D.3(m − 54) = 381, where m represents the amount originally in his account

Part B: Complete the statement to represent the solution of the equation in context.


Marcellus originally had $___________ in his account.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

3(m+54) = 381 shows that 54 is being added to m, the initial sum. Then it shows the sum of 54 + m being multiplied by 3 to get to the new balance of $381. This equation most accurately matches with the question.

Part B:

3(m-54) = 381.

You would first divide both sides by 3.

m - 54 = 127

You would now add 54 to both sides.

You now know m = 181.

Answer: 73.5

first you work out the total area of this shape.

area: 105

this mean you can start working out the non-shaded area to do this you need to multiply 7cm with 6cm which is 42cm then you divide by 2 to get 21cm.

then to work ou the other non-shaded area in the left you multiply 3cm and 7cm together getting 21cm you then divide it and you get 10.5.

you then add 10.5cm and 21cm together to get 31.5cm, subtract that answer with the total area which gets the answer 73.5!
