4a. In a book store, for every 9 books sold, 13 magazines were sold. If they had a 572 sales, how many of the sales were for books?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

234 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set up a proportion. Be careful to note what it looks like and the explanation that follows.

9 books            13 magazines

=======     =     ===========

x                        572 - x                Cross multiply

What you want is the number of book sales from the proportion.

However all you have is the ratio of books to magazines. So you have to set up the total sales to magazines, which is a bit awkward.  572 - x is the number of magazine sales.

9*(572 - x) = 13x                        Remove the  brackets on the left.

5148- 9x = 13x                           Add 9x to both sides.

5148 = 13x + 9x                         Transpose and add the right.

22x = 5148                                Divide by 22

x = 5148/22

x = 234                    

234 books were sold.

Find the measure of angle w

Answers

Answer: Angle w=90

Step-by-step explanation: A line is 180 degress,so 90 plus w = 180. 180-90 is 90, so w is 90.

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

There is  perpendicular bisector separating a given angle of 90, and a variable of w

We can assume the other ray is at a 180 degree angle, this means we can find w by using this simple equation; 180 - (given number) = remaining number, in this case, w.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the power rule for this. The way I teach my Algebra 1 students to do this is take everything inside the parenthesis and put it into its own set of parenthesis, and then raise each one to the outside power. One thing at a time makes it not so overwhelming. Like this:

[tex](4)^2(x^5)^2(y^3)^2[/tex]

Now follow the power rule. Multiply the power of each element in the parenthesis by the 2 outside.

[tex](4^1)^2=4^2=16[/tex], then [tex](x^5)^2=x^{10[/tex], and finally, [tex](y^3)^2=y^6[/tex].

Now put it all together to get:

[tex]16x^{10}y^6[/tex]

Answer:

because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of a population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between statistic and parameter lies in the fact that, statistics are used in describing the numerical value obtained from a sample of data. While parameter are used to describe the numerical characteristics of a population.

Hence, all students of a college refers to the population(entire students). Therefore, the numerical characteristics obtained from such data would be called a parameter.

A bouncing ball reaches a height of 54 inches at its first peak, 36 inches at its second peak, and 24 inches at its third peak. Which formula represents this scenario?

f(x) = 54(two-thirds) Superscript x
f(x) = 54(two-thirds) Superscript x minus 1
f(x) = Two-thirds(54)x
f(x) = Two-thirds(54)x – 1

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = 54(two-thirds) Superscript x minus 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

First peak : 36 / 54=2/3

Second peak : 24 / 36 = 2/3

The common ratio here is 2/3 ; which mean each bounce height is 2/3 of previous height

Modeling this using geometric progression :

An=a1r^(n-1)

An = nth term of a geometric progression

a1=first term

r=common ratio = 2/3

n = nth term

a1=54

Substituting into the above formular :

An=54(2/3)^(n-1)

Point J is located at (-2, -5) and Point K is located 5 units right and 9 units up Which measurement is closest to the distance between Point J and Point K?
A. 3.7 units
B. 7.5 units
C. 10.3 units
D. 12 units

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

Here we are told dx=5 and dy=9 so

d^2=25+81

d^2=106

d=10.3 units

Answer:  C) 10.3 units

This value is approximate. This also means that segment JK is roughly 10.3 units.

==============================================================

Explanation:

The "5 units right and 9 units up" means we have a right triangle with legs 5 and 9. The hypotenuse is unknown, which I'll call c.

a = 5b = 9c = unknown

Apply the pythagorean theorem. Solve for c.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 9^2 = c^2

25 + 81 = c^2

106 = c^2

c^2 = 106

c = sqrt(106)

c = 10.2956301 approximately

c = 10.3 approximately

The distance from J to K is roughly 10.3 units

------------------------------------

A slightly different method:

Start at point J (-2, -5) and move 5 units to the right and 9 units up to arrive at K(3, 4)

Let's use the distance formula to find the distance from (-2,-5) to (3,4)

Define the following

(x1,y1) = (-2,-5) which means x1 = -2 and y1 = -5(x2,y2) = (3,4) which means x2 = 3 and y2 = 4

Those values are then plugged into the distance formula

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2-3)^2 + (-5-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-9)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{25 + 81}\\\\d = \sqrt{106}\\\\d \approx 10.2956301\\\\d \approx 10.3\\\\[/tex]

The distance from J to K is roughly 10.3 units

One thing to point out, as you probably already noticed, is that the distance formula and pythagorean theorem effectively are saying the same thing when computing distances like this. The distance formula is based off the pythagorean theorem. Note the x1-x2 portion which represents the horizontal distance from J to K. This is the "move 5 units right" portion. Then the "y1-y2" is the vertical change in distance, which is the "move 9 units up". Also, we can see that the square root of 106 shows up again; a lot of elements are repeated (just phrased in a slightly different way) from the last section.

Can somebody tell me what i would make on my literary essay if i turn this in and here are the instructions will i make a 0 on thisExplanation: In any group of children, its a given that some will be popular and powerful while others will be teased and rejected. In the real world, adults use their authority to control these divisions and maintain a balanced group dynamic. In Lord of the Flies, however, children must fend for themselves and elect their own leaderand Piggy, wise but scorned, is never seriously considered. Though Piggy is intelligent, rational, and innovative, he lacks the charisma and facility with language that both Ralph and Jack possess, traits that the book suggests play crucial roles in establishing their authority. Piggy may have the tactical smarts to be a good leader, but because he cannot convincingly act the role, he would not be able to marshal the boys if given the chance.Although his contributions often go unappreciated, Piggy comes up with some of the most important innovations on the island. He sees the conchs potential as a rallying device and firmly believes in its ability to keep operations running smoothly. He understands the importance of taking a census, which the other boys recognize only after the little boy with the mulberry birthmark goes missing and they cant determine how many other littluns were killed in the fire. Piggys glasses provide the spark for the signal fire, metaphorically demonstrating how intellect can spark great progress. The scholarly, sensible Piggy is a born administrator, one who understands how to categorize and effectively utilize information. He also shows surprising personal strength, both in his ability to tolerate the cruel taunts from the other boys, including his supposed friend Ralph, as well as in his willingness to voice the unpleasant truth about the likelihood of rescue.However, despite these admirable qualities, Piggy is resoundingly unsuccessful on those few occasions in which he does attempt to lead. He stubbornly holds onto outdated customs, such as the use of the conch, long after Ralph and Jack realize that the shell no longer holds sway over the group. Piggy insists on the rules even when the rules are clearly irrelevant, and this stickler attitude, along with his constant speechmaking and self-righteous complaining, drives people away. Ralph and Jack intuitively know how to rally followers, while Piggy seems to repel them relentlessly. Piggy is so unsuccessful, in fact, that he ultimately dies in the act of trying to lead: He is crushed while waving the conch, fruitlessly ordering others to listen to him.Piggys total lack of success in a leadership role suggests that there are significant differences between a leader and a thinker. Ralph has an aura of poise and capability that wins him trust. His authority is rooted in personality rather than innovationhe relies on Piggy for thatand he understands the importance of rhetoric in winning followers. For example, he speaks in the language of rescue, playing into the boys deepest hopes and fears to bolster his hold over them. Jack wields power effectively as well, and boys are drawn to his glamour and charisma. Jacks leadership is rooted in intimidation, which appeals to the boys once the island turns savage. The boys negative reaction to Piggys physical unattractiveness emphasizes the role external personas play in establishing command; the boys dont so much reject Piggy because he is ugly, but because he does not know how to play the role of a leader.Piggys failure as a leader points to an important theme of the novel: the failure of civilization in the face of savagery. Piggy represents rationalism and discipline, the very qualities that Jack himself identifies as making the English . . . the best at everything. Despite Jacks initial support of rules and regulations, however, The Lord of the Flies suggests that absent the structures of school, family, and government, which prop up civilization, human beings will always choose anarchy and hedonism over law and order. Piggy represents the wild boys strongest link to civilization: Once he is killed, the hope of regaining it is lost forever, and only chaos remains.
