Seven less than the quotient of a number and 2 is equal to − 12. Find the number.
Part 1 of 2
The equation that represents the problem is _____?
The number is______?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1: (n÷2)-7 = -12

Part 2: n = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

Let's first write "the quotient of a number and 2" using numbers and variables. Let "n" represent "a number". The key word that we see here is quotient, meaning we have to divide something by something else. "The quotient of a number and 2 means that "a number" is the dividend (number that is divided) and "2" is the divisor (number that divides the dividend). Therefore we obtain:

n÷2

The first part says "seven less than the quotient of a number and 2". The keyword here is less, meaning we have to use subtraction. Therefore:

(n÷2)-7

The last part says "is equal to -12". Therefore the whole expression we just wrote is equivalent to -12:

(n÷2)-7 = -12

Part 2

Remember the Order of Operations:

Parentheses

Exponents

M/D: Multiplication/Division (whichever comes first in the equation)

A/S: Addition/Subtraction (whichever comes first in the equation)

Start by adding 7 to both sides

(n÷2) = -5

Then, multiply both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{n}{2}=-5\\n=-10[/tex]

Note: I used a fraction to display the division because it is easier to see why we have to multiply both sides by 2; to cancel out the denominator.

Answers

The maximum shower time is an illustration of mean and median, and the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

How to interpret the shower time?

The question is incomplete, as the dataset (and the data elements) are not given.

So, I will answer this question using the following (assumed) dataset:

Shower time (in minutes): 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 13, 15,

Calculate the mean:

Mean = Sum/Count

So, we have:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 12+ 12+ 12+ 13+ 15)/13

Mean = 9.8

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the question, we have the following assumptions:

The shower time of students whose shower times are above 10 minutes, is 10 minutesOther shower time remains unchanged.

So, the dataset becomes: 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

The mean is:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10)/13

Mean = 8.7

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the above computation, we have the following table:

               Initial    Final

Mean         9.8        8.7

Median       9         9

Notice that the mean value changed, but it did not go below 8 as claimed by Blake; while the median remains unchanged.

Hence, the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

Answers

Answer:

t = 74.897 years

(about 74 years 11 months)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 4/100

r = 0.04 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(16,000.00/800.00) / ( 365 × [ln(1 + 0.04/365)] )

t = ln(16,000.00/800.00) / ( 365 × [ln(1 + 0.00010958904109589)] )

t = 74.897 years

Summary:

The time required to get a total amount of $16,000.00 with compoundeded interest on a principal of $800.00 at an interest rate of 4% per year and compounded 365 times per year is 74.897 years.

(about 74 years 11 months)

Since it wasn't stated howmany times the interest is compunded I took the value of once a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can see that 120° with the right angle is equal to 180° :

then:

right angle = 180° - 120° = 60°

The right angle with 5x angle is equal to 180° too ;

right angle + 5x = 180°

Write the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form that has a slope of 4 and contains the point (4, 12).

Answers

Answer:

y=4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

we are given that a line has a slope of 4 and it contains the point (4, 12)

We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute it into the formula.

Replace m with 4 in y=mx+b:

y=4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through the point (4, 12), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute 4 as x and 12 as y:

12 = 4(4) + b

Multiply

12 = 16 + b

Subtract 16 from both sides

-4 = b

Substitute -4 as b

y = 4x - 4

Hope this helps!

You want to buy a new computer for $1500. You only have $500 right now, so you decide to deposit the money into an account yeilding 5% interest compounded monthly, how long until you have enough to buy the computer

Answers

5,600, it's basic math, ur welcome

Answer:

Twenty-two months (a year and ten months)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find how much is 5% of 500

500 x 0.05 = 25

Next, you add it to 500

so after the first month, you will have $525

Then, we have to find 5% of 525

525 x 0.05 = 26.25

meaning that after the second month, you'll have $551.25

We keep on repeating these steps until we reach the desired amount.

month three:

$551.25 x 0.05 = 27.5625      

551. 25 +  27.5625 = 578.8125

month four:

578.8125 x 0.05 = 28.940625

578.8125 + 28.940625 = 607.753125

month five:

607.753125 x 0.05 = 30.38765625

607.753125 + 30.38765625 = 638.14

month six:

638.14 x 0.05 = 31.91

638.14 + 31.91 = 670.05

month seven:

670.05 x 0.05 = 33.51

670.05 + 33.51 = 703.55

month eight:

703.55 x 0.05 = 35.18

703.55 + 35.18 = 738.73

month nine:

738.73 x 0.05 = 36.94

738.73 + 36.94 = 775.67

month ten:

775.67 x 0.05 = 38.78

775.67 + 38.78 = 814.45

month eleven:

814.45 x 0.05 = 40.72

814.45 + 40.72 = 855.17

month twelve:

855.17 x 0.05 = 42.76

855.17 + 42.76 = 897.93

month thirteen:

897.93 x 0.05 = 44.90

897.93 + 44.90 = 942.83

month fourteen:

942.83 x 0.05 = 47.14

942.83 + 47.14 = 989.97

month fifteen:

989.97 x 0.05 = 49.50

989.97 + 49.50 = 1039.47

month sixteen:

1039.47 x 0.05 = 51.97

1039.47 + 51.97 = 1091.44

month seventeen:

1091.44 x 0.05 = 54.57

1091.44 + 54.57 = 1146.01

month eighteen:

1146.01 x 0.05 = 57.30

1146.01 + 57.30 = 1203.31

month nineteen:

1203.31 x 0.05 = 60.17

1203.31 + 60.17 = 1263.48

month twenty:

1263.48 x 0.05 = 63.17

1263.48 + 63.17 = 1326.65

month twenty-one:

1326.65 x 0.05 = 66.33

1326.65 + 66.33 = 1392.98

month twenty-two:

1392.98 x 0.05 = 69.65

1392.98 + 69.65 = 1462.63

month twenty-three:

1462.63 x 0.05 = 73.13

1462.63 + 73.13 = 1535.76

So your final answer would be that it would take twenty-two months (a year and ten months) to have enough money to buy the computer.

p.s. sorry for the super long answer, I wanted to make sure you had the complete process. hope this helped!

Answer:I think i remember this i think is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of sec θ is -√2 in the interval 3π/2 < θ < 2π, where θ is the angle whose tangent is -1.

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.

We are given that tan θ = -1, and we need to find the value of sec θ in the interval 3π/2 < θ < 2π.

Since tan θ = -1, we know that θ is in the third quadrant, where both x and y coordinates are negative. In the third quadrant, the reference angle for θ is π - θ, so we have:

tan θ = -1 = tan(-π/4)

π/4 = π - θ

θ = 3π/4

Now, we can use the fact that sec θ is the reciprocal of cos θ, and find cos θ in the third quadrant.

In the third quadrant, cos θ is negative. We can use the Pythagorean identity to find cos θ:

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

Since sin θ is positive and we know that θ is in the third quadrant, we have:

sin θ = -√(1 - cos²θ)

tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = -1

Substituting sin θ and simplifying, we get:

-√(1 - cos² θ)/cos θ = -1

√(1 - cos² θ) = cos θ

Squaring both sides:

1 - cos²θ = cos²θ

2cos²θ = 1

cos²θ = 1/2

cos θ = -√2/2 (since θ is in the third quadrant)

Finally, we can find sec θ:

sec θ = 1/cos θ = -√2

Therefore, the value of sec θ is -√2 in the interval 3π/2 < θ < 2π, where θ is the angle whose tangent is -1.

Hello!

Let's solve this question with the information given to us in the question.

We were given the function, f(x) = -5x - 4, or also known as y = -5x - 4

With the function we need to find the inverse of it.

We can simply flip the "x" and "y" variables in the function and solve.

Solve:

y = -5x - 4

Flip the "x" and "y" variables.

x = -5y - 4

Now, solve for "y".

x = -5y - 4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation.

x + 4 = -5y

Divide everything by -5 to get "y" by itself.

-1/5x - 4/5 = y

Therefore, the inverse of the function would be [tex]-\frac{1}{5}x -\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
