Suppose a and b are positive integers such that lcm(a,b) = 90 and gcd(a,b) = 3. If b is three more than a, then what are the values of a and b?​

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

LCM(a,b) = 90 and GCD(a,b) = 3.

b is three more than a.

To find:

The values of a and b.

Solution:

We have,

LCM(a,b) = 90

GCD(a,b) = HCF(a,b) = 3

According to the question,

[tex]b=a+3[/tex]

If a and b are two positive integers, then

[tex]a\times b=HCF(a,b)\times LCM(a,b)[/tex]

[tex]a\times (a+3)=3\times 90[/tex]

[tex]a^2+3a=270[/tex]

[tex]a^2+3a-270=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle terms, we get

[tex]a^2+18a-15a-270=0[/tex]

[tex]a(a+18)-15(a+18)=0[/tex]

[tex](a+18)(a-15)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex]a+18=0[/tex] and [tex]a-15=0[/tex]

[tex]a=-18[/tex] and [tex]a=15[/tex]

a is a positive integer so it cannot be negative. So, a=15.

Now,

[tex]b=a+3[/tex]

[tex]b=15+3[/tex]

[tex]b=18[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 15 and the value of b is 18.

x=12 because say if we choose the base line as our example then the baseline for the small triangle is 7 and the baseline for the bigger triangle is 28. To get from 7 to 28 you have to times by 4 , so the triangle has been enlarged by 4. If we get the side where it says 25 (for the smaller triangle) we can times it by 4 to get 100. Our equation is now 100=6x+28. To work this equation out you do -28 for both sides which equals to 72=6x.
Then we divide by 6 on both sides to get our answer as 12=x

Answers

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations be:

[tex]y=4,\:x=0[/tex]

As the consistent system of equations has only one solution, it is independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

[tex]3y + 2x= 12[/tex]

[tex]36 - 9y = -6x[/tex]

solving the system of equations

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}3y+2x=12\\ 36-9y=-6x\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Arrange equation variables for elimination

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}3y+2x=12\\ -9y+6x=-36\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Multiply\:}3y+2x=12\mathrm{\:by\:}3\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:9y+6x=36[/tex]

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}9y+6x=36\\ -9y+6x=-36\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

so

[tex]-9y+6x=-36[/tex]

[tex]+[/tex]

[tex]\underline{9y+6x=36}[/tex]

[tex]12x=0[/tex]

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}9y+6x=36\\ 12x=0\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

solve 12x=0 for x

[tex]12x=0[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12

[tex]\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{0}{12}[/tex]

[tex]x=0[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}9y+6x=36\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}x=0[/tex]

[tex]9y+6\cdot \:0=36[/tex]

[tex]9y=36[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9

[tex]\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{36}{9}[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

Thus, the solution to the system of equations be:

[tex]y=4,\:x=0[/tex]

As the consistent system of equations has only one solution, it is independent.

I used this equation: x is the speed of the slower train

910 = (5x + 10) + 5x

Answer:

The answer is 86 and 96 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Train A

Distance traveled = d

time taken = 5 hours

rate traveled = r

Train B

Distance traveled = 910 - d

time taken = 5 hours

rate = r + 10

Formula

basically d = r * t

Solution

Train A: d/r = 5 or d = 5*r

Train B = (910 - d)/(r + 10) = 5    or

Substitute d = 5*r   into Train B

(910 - 5*r)/(r + 10) = 5        Multiply both sides by r + 10

(910 - 5r) = 5 * (r + 10)       Remove the brackets on both sides

910 - 5r = 5r + 50             Add 5r to both sides

910 = 5r + 5r + 50

910 = 10r + 50                  Subtract 50 from both sides

910 - 50 = 10r                  Combine the left

860 = 10r

10r = 860                         Divide by 10

r = 860/10

r = 86

r + 10 = 96

Check

Train A distance: 5*r = 5 * 86 = 430

Train B distance: 5*r = 5 * 96 = 480

Total =                                         910

Four times a number, increased by one, is between negative seven and seventeen. Find all the numbers

Answers

Answer:

The numbers are:

{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I am assuming "between" does not include the endpoints.

Given the statement

'Four times a number, increased by one, is between negative seven and seventeen'

Let us break down the word statement into small pieces and then combine them to write it into an algebraic expression.

Let x be the number.

4 times a number = 4x

Increase by 1 = 4x+1

between negative seven and seventeen ⇒   -7 < 4x+1  < 17

Thus, the combined statement can be written in an algebraic expression.

-7 < 4x+1  < 17

solving the inequality expression

[tex]-7 < 4x+1 < 17[/tex]

Add -1 to all parts

[tex]-7+-1<4x+1+-1<17+-1[/tex]

[tex]-8<4x<16[/tex]

Divide all parts by 4

[tex]\frac{-8}{4}<\frac{4x}{4}<\frac{16}{4}[/tex]

[tex]-2<x<4[/tex]

Thus, the numbers are:

{-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}

A plane traveled 3900 miles with the wind in 6.5 hours and 3250 miles against the wind in the same amount of time. Find the speed of the plane in still air and the speed of the wind.

Answers

The speed of plane in still air will be 550 miles / hour and speed of wind will be 50 miles / hour.

It is given that a plane traveled 3900 miles in 6.5 hours with wind and 3250 miles in 6.5 hours against wind.

We have to find out the speed of plane in still air and speed of wind.

What is algebra ?

Algebra is the branch that deals with various symbols and the arithmetic operations such as addition , division , etc.

As per the question ;

Distance travelled with wind in 6.5 hours = 3900 miles

Distance travelled against wind in 6.5 hours = 3250 miles

Let's assume speed of plane in still air be P and speed of wind be W.

So;

The total rate with the wind is the plane speed plus the wind speed and against the wind is speed of plane minus speed of wind.

i.e.,

d = rt

⇒ 6.5 ( P + W ) = 3900 miles  --- ---- --- --- -- ------- ----- --- Equation 1

and

⇒ 6.5 ( P - W ) = 3250 miles  --- ---- --- --- -- ------- ----- --- Equation 2

Let's solve the equations to get value of P and W ;

i.e.,

P + W = 3900 / 6.5

or

P + W = 600

and

P - W = 3250 / 6.5

or

P - W = 500

adding both equations ; we get ;

2P = 1100

or

P = 550 miles / hour

And

W = 50 miles / hour

Thus , the speed of plane in still air will be 550 miles / hour and speed of wind will be 50 miles / hour.

Locate the point in the complex plane and express the number in polar form.

Answers

Answer:

We kindly invite you to see the result in the image attached below.

The number in polar form is [tex]z = 3\sqrt{5}\cdot e^{i\cdot 0.352\pi}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number is represented by elements of the form [tex]a + i\,b[/tex], for all [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex] [tex]\in \mathbb{R}[/tex]. The first part of the sum is the real component of the complex number, whereas the second part of the sum is the imaginary component of the complex number. The real component is located on the horizontal axis and the imaginary component on the vertical axis.

Now we proceed to present the point on the graph: ([tex]a = 6[/tex], [tex]b = 3[/tex])  We kindly invite you to see the result in the image attached below.

The polar form of the complex number is defined by:

[tex]z = r\cdot e^{i\cdot \theta}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]r[/tex] - Magnitude of the complex number, dimensionless.

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Direction of the complex number, measured in radians.

The magnitude and the direction of the complex number are defined by the following formulas:

Magnitude

[tex]r =\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}[/tex] (2)

Direction

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{b}{a}[/tex] (3)

If we know that [tex]a = 6[/tex] and [tex]b = 3[/tex], then the polar form of the number is:

[tex]r =\sqrt{6^{2}+3^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]r = 3\sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta \approx 0.352\pi \, rad[/tex]

[tex]z = 3\sqrt{5}\cdot e^{i\cdot 0.352\pi}[/tex]

The number in polar form is [tex]z = 3\sqrt{5}\cdot e^{i\cdot 0.352\pi}[/tex].

Answer:

Step 1     z(c) = 2,323

CI = (  25 ;  30,2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution:

Sample size  n = 25

Sample mean   μ  = 27,6

Sample standard deviation  s = 5,69

CI = 98 %   then  α  = 1 - 0,98     α = 0,02    α/2  = 0,01

From z-table we don´t  find z (score) for 0,01   directly, we need to interpolate between z = 2,32   and z = 2,33

For   0,0099           z score   is    2,33

for    0,0102            z score   is    2,32

Δ      0,0003                                  0,01

Then   by rule of three

for Δ        0,0003                ⇒      0,01

for Δ   (0,01- 0,0102)          ⇒        x

0,0003    0,01

0,0002      x

x = 0,0067

then  z (score for 0,01)   =  2,33 - 0,0067     z(c) = 2,3233

round to three decimal places z(c) = 2,323

Step 2:

CI =   μ  ±  z(c) * s/√n    ⇒   27,6  ± (2,323 * 5,69)/5

CI =  27,6 ± 2,6436

round to one decimal place

CI = 27,6 ± 2,6

CI = (  25 ;  30,2 )

Answers

Answer:

x = 20/3 or x = -12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 abs(x - 1) = x/2 + 8

Divide both sides by 2:

abs(x - 1) = 1/2 (x/2 + 8)

Split the equation into two possible cases:

x - 1 = 1/2 (x/2 + 8) or x - 1 = 1/2 (-x/2 - 8)

Expand out terms of the right-hand side:

x - 1 = x/4 + 4 or x - 1 = 1/2 (-x/2 - 8)

Subtract x/4 - 1 from both sides:

(3 x)/4 = 5 or x - 1 = 1/2 (-x/2 - 8)

Multiply both sides by 4/3:

x = 20/3 or x - 1 = 1/2 (-x/2 - 8)

Expand out terms of the right-hand side:

x = 20/3 or x - 1 = -x/4 - 4

Add x/4 + 1 to both sides:

x = 20/3 or (5 x)/4 = -3

Multiply both sides by 4/5:

Answer: x = 20/3 or x = -12/5
