60% of the marbles in a container are red and the rest are black. After another 9 black
marbles are added, the ratio of red and black marbles becomes 4: 3. How many black marbles
are there now?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

Red marbles = r

Black marbles = b

Red : Black

60  :   40

  r   :   b              

40r = 60b

r = (60/40)b

Red : Black

 4   :    3

 r    :  b + 9        

3r = 4(b+9)

3r = 4b + 36

3((60/40)b) = 4b + 36

(9/2)b = 4b + 36

(9/2)b - 4b = 36

(1/2)b = 36

b = 72  This is the original amount of black marbles

They added 9 after this, so

72 + 9 = 81

Answers

Answer:

A) It can be represented using the formula f(x + 1) = 6/5(f(x)) when f(1) = 10/3.

C) It can be represented using the formula f (x) = 10/3(6/5)/\x-1

What is sequence?

A sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters.

Given:

10/3, 4, 24/5, 144/25, ...

From the above sequence we can generate the formula,

f (x) = 10/3

Also, for f(x+1) we can have

x=1,

f(1)= 10/3

f(2)= 4

So, f(x + 1) = 6/5(f(x))

Which equation correctly represents how the total mechanical energy (ME) of
a system relates to its kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy
(GPE)?

Answers

The accurately captures a system's gravitational potential energy:

ME = KE + GPE.

What is gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational potential energy is the energy that an object possesses or acquires as a result of a change in its position when it is in a gravitational field. In layman's terms, gravitational potential energy is energy that is tied to gravitational force or gravity.

What is the difference between gravitational kinetic energy and potential energy?

The energy held in an object due to its height above the ground is known as gravitational potential energy. It is determined by the object's mass, the gravitational acceleration caused by the Earth, and the object's height. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses as a result of its motion.

According to the given data:

An object's mechanical energy is equal to the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. If ME is mechanical energy and KE is kinetic energy, then PE is its potential energy.

ME = PE + KE

KE = (1/2) mv^2

PE = ME - KE

PE = ME - 1/2(mv²)

PE = ME - 1/2(mv²)

PE = ME - KE

ME = KE + GPE

Use the roster method to write the given set the set of integers x that satisfy 2x-1= -13

Answers

The only set of elements that satisfied the equation 2x-1= -13 is {-6}.

What is a set?

A set is a combination of specific quantities in which the meaning of each variable must be the same.

For example {1,2,3,4,5,6...} is a set of natural numbers in which each variable is representing a natural number so the overall meaning is the same among all.

Another example could be a set of whole numbers like that.

Given the equation,

2x-1= -13

By taking -1 right-hand side

2x = -13 + 1 = -12

By dividing 2

A sample of n = 100 scores has a mean of 5. A second sample has n = 25 scores and m = 7. if the two samples are combined, the sample mean for the combined sample will be 5.4.

We are given the sample mean of n = 100, is 5. Therefore, the sum of 100 observations is 100 x 5 = 500

The sample mean of n = 25, is 7. Therefore, the sum of 25 observations is

25 x 7 = 175

The sum of two samples is 500 + 175 = 675.

vacant land. How many acres of vacant land
does the county have now?

Answers

The acres of vacant land that the county have now will be 144 acres.

How to calculate the value?

Since 36% has been used, the remaining percentage will be:

= 1 - 36%

= 64%

Therefore, the acres of vacant land that the county has now will be:

= 64% × 225

= 64/100 × 225

= 0.64 × 225

= 144

The cost of bananas varies directly with the number of pounds bought. If 6 pounds
cost $5.22, find the cost of 3 pounds.

Answers

Answer:

$2.61

Step-by-step explanation:

So, We have $5.22 for 6 pounds of Bananas.

If we need to find the cost for 3 pounds, we would divide $5.22 by 2 because 6/2=3

In order to do this, we need to turn 5.22 into a whole number, so we multiply by 100

5.22*100=522

Now we divide

522/2 = 261

Now we divide 261 by 100, since we multiplied by 100 earlier.

261/100 =2.61

So our answer is $2.61 for 3 pounds of bananas .

Part(A) Leslie's initial investment was $500 and

Part(B) The quarterly interest rate is 10.4 %

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest calculated on the principal amount , which also considers all the accumulated interest of previous periods of deposit or loan.

If P is the principal amount and rate of compound interest is r  then after t years of time , the present amount (if the interest is compounded annually) will be = P(1+(r/100))^n

If the interest is compounded quarterly, then the present amount be A

Where A = [tex]P (1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4t}[/tex]

Given that Leslie invests in a bank that earns interest quarterly , and account balance after t years is given as 500(1.026)^(4t)

A= [tex]P (1+\frac{r/4}{100} )^{4t} = 500(1.026)^{4t\\[/tex]

Comparing both sides we get P = 500

And 1+(r/400)=1.026

(r/400)=1.026-1

(r/400)=.026

r=400(0.26) = 10.4 %

Find a and b so that f(x) is continuous for all values of x f(x)={x^2-4/x-2 if x<2 ax^2-bx+3 if 2<=x<3 2x-a+b if x>=3

Answers

The values a = 1/3 and b = 1/6.

Given function is, f(x) =  

                                       [tex]\frac{x^2-4}{x-2}\ \ \ if\ x < 2 \\ax^2-bx+3 \ \ \ if\ 2\leq x < 3\\2x-a+b\ \ \ if\ x\geq 3[/tex]

The interval in which the function is defined is broke down into three. They are: x<2, 2≤x<3 and x≥3.

Now the function [tex]\frac{x^2-4}{x-2}[/tex] is continuous except at x = 2. But this function is defined in the interval x>2. The other two function are defined as polynomial, so are continuous any way.

So for the whole function f(x) to  be continuous, we need to check the continuity at x = 2, x = 3.

When x = 2,  [tex]\frac{x^2-4}{x-2}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{(x+2)(x-2)}{x-2}=x+2 = 4[/tex]  and [tex]ax^2-bx+3[/tex] = 4a-2b+3

⇒  4a-2b+3 = 4

4a- 2b-1 = 0, for the function to be continuous at x = 2.

When x = 3,  [tex]ax^2-bx+3[/tex] = 9a-3b+3 and 2x-a+b = 6-a+b

⇒ 9a-3b+3 = 6-a+b

10a -2b-3 = 0, for the function to be continuous at x = 3.

On solving   4a-2b-1 = 0 and 10a -2b-3 = 0 by subtracting the two,

we get, -6a+2 = 0

a = 1/3 and therefore, b = 1/6

The area of the triangle is 1200√5 cm².

Given that, the sides of the triangle are 70cm,80cm and 90cm.

We need to find the area of a triangle using Heron's formula.

What is Heron's formula?

As per Heron's formula, the value of the area of any triangle having lengths, a, b, c, perimeter of the triangle, P, and semi-perimeter of the triangle as 's' is determined using the below-given formula:

Area of triangle = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c), where s = Perimeter/2 = (a + b + c)/2

Now, semi perimeter = (70+80+90)/2=120

Area of triangle=√120(120-70)(120-80)(120-90)

=√120×50×40×30

=√40×3×2×25×40×30

=40×5√3×2×3×2×5

=40×5×3×2√5

=1200√5 cm²

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 1200√5 cm².
