What is the greatest possible quotient of any two distinct members of the set $\left\{\frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{2},5,10\right\}$? Specifically, we wish to maximize $\frac{x}{y}$, where $x$ and $y$ are chosen from the previous set.

Answers

Answer 1

The greatest possible quotient of any two distinct members of the set; { 2 / 5, 1 / 2, 5, 10 } as required is; 25.

What is the maximum possible quotient of any pair of numbers from the set?

It follows from the task content that the set from which the two numbers whose quotient is to be maximised is; { 2 / 5, 1 / 2, 5, 10 }.

On this note, since the quotient which is to be maximised is hypothetically; x / y;

Hence, in a bid to maximize the result of the quotient; it follows that the numerator, x must be as great as possible and the denominator, y must be as less as possible.

On this note, since the maximum number in the set is 10 and the minimum is 2 / 5; we have that;

10 / (2 / 5)

= ( 10 × 5 ) / 2

= 25.

Consequently, it follows that the greatest possible quotient as required is; 25.

Marvin used the money he received from high school graduation gifts to start a new savings account with a simple interest rate of 7. 5%. After 12 years, the account had earned $288. If there were no other deposits or withdrawals, what was the original amount placed in the account?

Answers

The original amount placed in the account is $320.

What is simple interest ?

Simple interest is calculated based on a loan's principal or the initial deposit into a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, therefore a creditor will only charge interest on the principal sum, and a borrower will never be required to pay further interest on the interest that has already accrued.

The simplest way to compute interest is as a percentage of the principal. For instance, if you borrow $100 from a friend and agree to pay back the money with 5% interest, the interest you would have to pay would simply be 5% of $100, or $5.

Simple Interest is the amount repaid for using the borrowed funds over a predetermined amount of time.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I = P*r*t

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Marvin is saving money in a savings account with a simple interest rate of r=7.5%=0.075. It's known that after t=12 years, the account had earned $288 interest.

Substituting in the formula:

288 = P*0.075*12

Calculating:

288 = 0.9P

Dividing by 0.9:

P = $320

J) 614.43 feet

Answers

Answer:

F 200.96 feet is traveled by the car

Answer:

G) 602.88 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the circumference of the circle:

C = 2πr

If we use 3.14 for pi, we get:

C = 2*3.14(32)

C = 200.96 feet

Because the car takes 3 turns around the circle, multiply the circumference by 3 to find the total distance the car traveled:

200.96*3 = 602.88 feet

Answers

Answer:

y > -5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y > –5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1) The solution of the inequality is the shaded area above the dashed line

so

The linear inequality could be

y > –5x – 3

y > –5x + 3

y > –3x + 5

2) The slope of the dashed line is negative ----> the three options have slope negative

3) The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,3)

therefore

The linear inequality is

y > –5x + 3

...............................................................................................................................................

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the linear inequality , Let pick two points from the graph

Lets pick (0,3) and (1,-2)

Lets find out slope using the points

Slope m= -5

y intercept b= 3

Equation of the line is y=mx+b

Now we look at the shaded part. we use test point (0,0)

Does there seem to be a relationship between which type of book her friends like best and the number of books they read this month?

Answers

Based on the two-way table, there seems to be a relationship between the type of books Julia's friends like best and the number of books they have read this month, A. Yes, because those who like fiction read one book at a rate four times that of those who read non-fiction books.

What is a two-way table?

A two-way table, also called a contingency table, is a statistical table that shows the observed frequency for two variables.

The rows of a two-way table indicate one category and the columns indicate the other category.

For instance, based on the two-way table, one can observe that 80% of Julia's friends prefer fiction while 20% prefer non-fiction.

Among those who read 1 book this month, 80% read fiction against 20% who read non-fiction.  Similarly, among those who read 2 books this month, the same 80% read fiction against 20% who read non-fiction.

The number of students who prefer fiction = 60

The number of students who prefer non-fiction = 15

The number of fiction-preferring students who read 1 book this month = 40, which is 80% of the total (40/50 x 100).

The number of fiction-preferring students who read 2 books this month = 20, which is 80% of the total (20/25 x 100).

Thus, we can conclude that Option A is correct.

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

if a² + b² = c² , it is a right triangle

if a² + b² < c² , it is an obtuse triangle

if a² + b² > c² , it is an acute triangle

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ΔABC

Now , We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the TV. Let h be the height of the screen in inches. Then, we have:

h² + 45² = 51²

Simplifying and solving for h:

h² = 51² - 45²

h² = 2601 - 2025

h² = 576

Taking square roots on both sides , we get

h = √(576)

h = 24 inches

Therefore, the height of the screen is 24 inches.

To find the total height of the TV, we need to add the 4 inches from the base to the height of the screen:

Total height of the TV , H = 24 + 4

Total height of the TV , H = 28 inches

Hence , the total height of the TV is 28 inches.

A steep mountain is inclined 72 degree to the horizontal and rises 4500 ft above the surrounding plain. A cable car is to be installed by connecting a cable from the top of the mountain to a spot on the plain that is 900 ft from the base of the mountain. Find the shortest length of cable needed.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]l_c=5078.27ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angle of inclination [tex]\angle=72 \textdegree[/tex]

Height [tex]h=4500ft[/tex]

Distance b\w cable base and mountain base [tex]d_{cm}=900ft[/tex]

Generally the equation for length of mountain base [tex]d_{mb}[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]Tan\theta=\frac{h}{d_{mb}}[/tex]

 [tex]d_{mb}=\frac{h}{Tan\theta}[/tex]

 [tex]d_{mb}=\frac{4500}{Tan 72 \textdegree}[/tex]

 [tex]d_{mb}=1462.11ft[/tex]

Generally the Pythagoras equation for length of the cable [tex]l_c[/tex] is mathematically given by

[tex]l_c^2=h^2+(d_{mb}+d_{cm}^2)[/tex]

[tex]l_c^2=4500^2+(1462.11}+900}^2)[/tex]

calculate the sum of the interior angles of the following polygon 6 sided 15 sided and 3 sided​

Answers

Answer:

720°, 2340°, 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached image of a regular hexagon.  I drew all possible lines from a vertex to other vertices (AC, AD, AE).  Drawing in all those diagonals splits the hexagon into 4 triangles, and adding up the measures of all the triangle angles would account for all the interior angles of the hexagon.

♦  Four triangles have an angle sum of 180° x 4 = 720° (180° in each triangle).

See attached image2 to see what happens in an octagon.  There are six triangles formed, so the total of all interior angle measures is 6 x 180° = 1080°.

What about a 15-sided regular polygon?  How many triangles would be formed by putting in all the diagonals coming from one vertex?  There will be 2 fewer triangles than the number of vertices, 13.

♦  The total of interior angle measures in a 15-gon is 13(180°) = 2340°

♦  A polygon with 3 sides is a single triangle; interior angle sum = 180°

assume for a given studey that the null hypothesis asserts that the expected value of a phenomenon is 100

Answers

In a given study that the null hypothesis asserts the expected value of a phenomenon is 100 resulting in a 95% confidence interval reported as [98.76, 105.24], then we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore the answer is d) Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

A 95% confidence interval is a range of values that there is a 95% chance that the true value of a population parameter falls within. In this case, the 95% confidence interval is [98.76, 105.24], which includes the expected value of 100 that is stated in the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis because the data does not provide sufficient evidence to suggest that the true value of the population parameter is different from what is stated in the null hypothesis.

It's worth to mention that, Failing to reject the null hypothesis doesn't mean accepting it, it means that we don't have enough evidence to say that the parameter is different from the null hypothesis, it could be due the sample size, or other factors.

--The question is incomplete, complete question is as follows--

"Assume for a given study that the null hypothesis asserts the expected value of a phenomenon is 100. A research study results in a 95% confidence interval reported as [98.76, 105.24]. What decision would you make based on this confidence interval?

None of the listed methods are used for enumerating sample points in a multiple-step experiment. So, option D is the correct answer.

Graphical methods are important mathematical tools that are very helpful when it comes to managing a vast amount of data. These also help when we need to visually represent data. These methods help quite a lot since they make it easier to keep track of data and understand it as well.

A bar chart and a histogram are similar tools that are used to represent data by plotting them as rectangular bars. These can be either vertical or horizontal. A pie chart is also a tool that uses a shape for data visualization. In its case, it represents data in the shape of a circle and all categories/data sets have their slices.

Answers

Each person will pay $49.056. The value must be divided by the entire value, and the resulting number must then be multiplied by 100 to get the percentage.

Which percentage is it?

A percentage, often known as percent, is a division by 100. Percentage, which meaning "per 100," designates a portion of a total sum. 45 out of 100 is represented by 45%, for instance. Finding the percentage of a whole in terms of 100 is what percentage calculation is. Both manual calculation and the use of internet calculators are options.

Amount of bill = $124.72

and tip they left = 18% of $124.72

total amount is =$124.72 + $124.72*18%=$147.1696

so, each person pay= $147.1696/3=$49.056

To solve this proportion, we can use cross multiplication. That is, we can multiply the numerator of the first ratio (45) by the denominator of the second ratio (10) and the numerator of the second ratio (50) by the denominator of the first ratio (?). This will give us

45 x 10 = 500 and 50 x ? = 500.
