A grocery wants to make two kinds of coffee. One consoles for $1.40 pound, and the other cells for $2.95 a pound. He wants to makes a total of 21 pounds and sell it for $2.60 per pound. How many pounds of each kind should he use in the new mix? (round off the answers to the nearest hundredth)

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a lot of typos in the problem description.

I assume the price of the mix is 1:1 related to the prices of the individual types of coffee.

so, from what I understood we can define

x = pounds of the first type of coffee.

y = pounds of the second type of coffee.

x + y = 21 pounds

1.4x + 2.95y = 2.6(x + y) = 2.6×21 = $54.60

in the second equation we have to bring the given "$2.60 per pound" to the total price, which is $2.60 times the total amount of pounds (which is 21).

from the first equation we get

x = 21 - y

and that we use in the second equation

1.4×(21 - y) + 2.95y = 54.6

29.4 - 1.4y + 2.95y = 54.6

1.55y = 25.2

y = 25.2 / 1.55 = 16.25806452... ≈ 16.26 pounds

x = 21 - y = 4.741935484... ≈ 4.74 pounds

so, he should mix 4.74 pounds of the first (cheaper) type and 16.26 pounds of the second (expensive) type.

That means she paid 18,800 in march since it’s the third month of the year, in another three months she would pay 18,800 again. Every 1 month she pays 6,266 because 18,800 divided by 3 is 6,266. Every 12 months (or year) she pays 75,200 because 18,800x4= 75,200.

11. Every month he makes 8,000 and he saves 0.4 (40%) percent of it each month. 8,000x0.4=3,200 this means he saves 3,200 every month. Multiply 3,200 by 6 months and he saves 19,200 in 6 months.

By applying definitions of trigonometric reasons, Pythagorean theorem and a trigonometric expression, the value of the sin 2θ is equal to - (5/18) · √11.

How to determine the value of trigonometric reasons

In this question we must take into accounts the definitions of the trigonometric reasons sine and secant and the Pythagorean theorem as well.

If sec θ < 0 and csc θ > 0, then sin θ > 0 and cos θ < 0, the angle is in the second quadrant (0.5π < θ < π, x < 0, y > 0) and we have the following expression:

sec θ = r/x

[tex]\frac{r}{x}= -\frac{6\sqrt{11}}{11}[/tex]

Then x = - 11, r = 6√11 and the value of y is:

[tex]y = \sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}[/tex]

y = 5√11

By trigonometric expressions we have this formula for sin 2θ:

sin 2θ = 2 · sin θ · cos θ

sin 2θ = 2 · (y/r) · (x/r) = (2 · x · y)/r²

sin 2θ = [2 · (- 11) · (5√11)]/396

sin 2θ = - (5/18) · √11

⦁ Calculate the residuals for your scatterplot in step 2d.






⦁ Create a residual plot for your data.












⦁ Does your residual plot show that the linear model from the regression calculator is a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

The residuals of the linear regression equation are 0.329, -0.346, 0.064, -0.326,  0.049, -0.286,  -0.161, 0.214, 0.429 and 0.059

How to determine the residuals?

The regression equation is given as:

y = 0.005x + 3.111

Next, we calculate the predicted values (y) at the corresponding x values.

So, we have:

y = 0.005 * 4 + 3.111 = 3.131

y = 0.005 * 3 + 3.111 = 3.126

y = 0.005 * 5 + 3.111 = 3.136

y = 0.005 * 3 + 3.111 = 3.126

y = 0.005 * 8 + 3.111 = 3.151

y = 0.005 * 15 + 3.111 = 3.186

y = 0.005 * 10 + 3.111 = 3.161

y = 0.005 * 15 + 3.111 = 3.186

y = 0.005 * 6 + 3.111 = 3.141

y = 0.005 * 6 + 3.111 = 3.141

The residuals are then calculated using:

Residual = Actual value - Predicted value

So, we have:

y = 3.46 - 3.131 = 0.329

y = 2.78 - 3.126 = -0.346

y = 3.2 - 3.136 = 0.064

y = 2.8 - 3.126 = -0.326

y = 3.2 - 3.151 = 0.049

y = 2.9 - 3.186 = -0.286

y = 3 - 3.161 = --0.161

y = 3.4 - 3.186 = 0.214

y = 3.57 - 3.141 = 0.429

y = 3.2 - 3.141 = 0.059

Hence, the residuals of the linear regression equation are 0.329, -0.346, 0.064, -0.326,  0.049, -0.286,  -0.161, 0.214, 0.429 and 0.059

A

Answers

Answer:

  a.  y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.

__

slope

The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...

  m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2

In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.

__

equation

The slope-intercept equation is ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b

We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...

  y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

_____

Additional comment

When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are not viable.

When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.

Answer:  54

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

Explanation:

Focus on the bottom most triangle. The upper angle of this triangle is 360/5 = 72 degrees. This is because the regular pentagon is split into five congruent (aka identical) triangles.

Each of the triangles are isosceles. Let x be the measure of the base angles.

Use the rule that adding the three angles of a triangle gets us 180

angle1+angle2+angle3 = 180

x+x+72 = 180

2x+72 = 180

2x = 180-72

2x = 108

x = 108/2

x = 54 is the answer

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

Another way to get the answer:

i = interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides

i = 180(n-2)/n

i = 180(5-2)/5

i = 180(3)/5

i = 540/5

i = 108

Each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees.

Angle x marked in blue is half that, so it is 108/2 = 54 degrees

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

A third method:

E = exterior angle of a regular polygon with n sides

E = 360/n

E = 360/5

E = 72 degrees is the measure of each exterior angle

i = 180 - E

i = 180-72

i = 108 is the measure of each interior angle.

To wrap things up, we follow the same exact steps at the end of the 2nd section to get 108/2 = 54 as our answer.
