Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the amount of money that shelly has.

let y = the amount of money that john has.

if shelly give john 5 dollars, then they both have the same amount of money.

this leads to the equation:

x-5 = y+5

if john give shelly 5 dollars, then shelly has twice as much money as john has.

this leads to the equation:

x+5 = 2(y-5)

solve for x in each equation to get:

x-5 = y+5 leads to:

x = y+10

x+5 = 2(y-5) leads to:

x+5 = 2y-10 which becomes:

x = 2y-15

you have 2 expressions that are equal to x.

they are:

x = y+10

x = 2y-15

you can set these expressions equal to each other to get:

y+10 = 2y-15

subtract y from both sides of this equation and add 15 to both sides of this equation to get:

y = 25

since x = 2y-15, this leads to:

x = 2(25)-15 which becomes:

x = 35

the equation x = y + 10 leads to the same answer of:

y =35

you have:

x = 25

y = 35

The two equations with infinite solutions are D 3(x – 1) = 3x – 3 and E2x + 2 = 2(x + 1)

An equation has infinite solutions if we can remove the dependence of the variable, and we end with a true equation.

For example, option D is:

3(x - 1)  =3x - 3

Expanding the left side:

3x - 3 = 3x - 3

Subtract 3x in both sides:

-3 = -3

That is true for any value of x.

The other correct option is E:

The measure of the angle formed outside of circle is half the difference of major and minor arc measures.

It means the measure of angle T is:

The measure of the angle indicated in the diagram is 50 degrees.

What is Tangent ?

In geometry, the tangent is a trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and adjacent side of a right triangle. More specifically, for a given angle θ, the tangent of θ (denoted by tan θ) is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side of the right triangle containing that angle.

In the given figure, the two lines are tangent to the circle with center O. Let's call the point where the two lines intersect point P.

We know that the angle formed by a tangent line and a radius of a circle is always 90 degrees. Therefore, we can draw a radius OP from the center of the circle to point P and we know that angle POQ (where Q is the point where the radius intersects the circle) is 90 degrees.

We also know that angle OPQ is 40 degrees (as given in the diagram).

Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, we can find angle OQP as follows:

angle OQP = 180 - angle OPQ - angle POQ

= 180 - 40 - 90

= 50 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the angle indicated in the diagram is 50 degrees.

The work done by the force field F along the semicircle and the line segment is 32/3.

The work done by a force field F along a curve C from point A to point B is given by the line integral:

W = ∫ F dot dr

where dot represents the dot product and dr is the differential displacement vector along the curve C.

Let's divide the curve C into two parts: the semicircle from P to Q, denoted by C1, and the line segment from Q to P, denoted by C2.

For C1, the curve can be parameterized as x = 2cos(t) and y = 2sin(t) for t in [0, pi]. The differential displacement vector is then given by:

dr = (-2sin(t) dt)i + (2cos(t) dt)j

The force field F(x,y) = x^2i - ryj, so we have:

F(x,y) = (2cos^2(t))i - (2rsin(t))j

The dot product F dot dr is then:

F dot dr = (2cos^2(t))(-2sin(t) dt) + (2rsin(t))(2cos(t) dt)

= -4cos^2(t)sin(t) dt + 4rcos(t)sin(t) dt

= 4sin(t)cos(t)(r - cos(t)) dt

Therefore, the work done along C1 is:

W1 = ∫ C1 F dot dr

= ∫[0, pi] 4sin(t)cos(t)(r - cos(t)) dt

This integral can be evaluated using the substitution u = cos(t), du = -sin(t) dt:

W1 = -∫[1, -1] 4u(r - u) du

= 4r∫[1, -1] u du - 4∫[1, -1] u^2 du

= 0

Hence, the work done along C1 is 0.

For C2, the curve is simply the line segment from Q(-2,0) to P(2,0), which is parallel to the x-axis. Therefore, the differential displacement vector is given by:

dr = dx i

where i is the unit vector in the x-direction. The force field is the same as before, F(x,y) = x^2i - ryj. Along C2, y = 0, so the force field reduces to:

F(x,y) = x^2i

The dot product F dot dr is then:

F dot dr = x^2 dx

Therefore, the work done along C2 is:

W2 = ∫ C2 F dot dr

= ∫[-2, 2] x^2 dx

= 32/3

Hence, the work done along C2 is 32/3.

The total work done along the curve C is the sum of the work done along C1 and C2:

W = W1 + W2 = 0 + 32/3 = 32/3

Therefore, the work done by the force field F along the semicircle and the line segment is 32/3.

Therefore, two possible values of α are approximately 138.19° and 221.81°.

Sin 180 has a precise value of zero. One of the fundamental trigonometric functions is sine, which is used to calculate the angle or sides of a right-angled triangle.

Given that cos = -8/17, we must determine two potential values for.

We can construct a right triangle with the adjacent side equal to -8 and the hypotenuse equal to 17, and then use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the opposite side since cos = adjacent/hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem gives us:

opposite² = hypotenuse² - adjacent²

opposite² = 17² - (-8)²

opposite² = 225

opposite = ±15

Both the x and y coordinates are negative in the second quadrant, resulting in:

cos α = -8/17

sin α = -15/17

Consequently, may have the following value: = 180° - arccos(-8/17) 138.19° (rounded to two decimal places)

The x coordinate is negative and the y coordinate is positive in the third quadrant, resulting in:

cos α = -8/17

The length of SQ in triangle QRS is approximately 19.8 feet to the nearest tenth of a foot.

To find the length of SQ in triangle QRS, where angle S = 90°, angle Q = 6°, and RS = 20 feet, we can use the sine function. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the given information: In triangle QRS, we have angle S = 90°, angle Q = 6°, and side RS = 20 feet.

2. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is always 180°, we can find angle R: angle R = 180° - angle S - angle Q = 180° - 90° - 6° = 84°.

3. Now we can use the sine function to find the length of side SQ. Since we know angle R and side RS, we can use the sine of angle R to relate side SQ to side RS:

[tex]sin(angle R) = \frac{opposite side (SQ)}{ hypotenuse side (RS)}[/tex]
[tex]sin(84°) =\frac{SQ}{20 feet}[/tex]

4. Solve for SQ: [tex]SQ = (20 feet)  sin(84°) = 19.8 feet.[/tex].

The maximum sum of two positive numbers in the range [1, 450] with a product of 450 is approximately 42.42.

1. Let the two numbers be x and y.
2. Given that their product is 450, we have the equation xy = 450.
3. To find the maximum sum, we will use the fact that the sum of two numbers is maximum when they are equal. So, x = y.
4. From the product equation, we get x * x = 450, which implies x^2 = 450.
5. Taking the square root of both sides, we have x = √450 ≈ 21.21 (approximately).

(a) The differential equation that has solution W(t) is:

dW/dt = (1/3500) * (HH - 20W)

This is because the rate of change of weight with respect to time is proportional to the difference between the person's constant caloric intake and the number of calories needed to maintain their current weight, which is 20 calories per day per pound of body weight. The constant of proportionality is 1/3500 pounds per calorie.

(b) To find out what happens to the person's weight as t→[infinity], we can look at the long-term behavior of the solution to the differential equation. As t gets very large, the weight W(t) approaches a limiting value W∞ such that dW/dt = 0. This means that the person's weight is no longer changing, and is therefore at a steady state.

To find this steady state weight, we set dW/dt = 0 in the differential equation:

(1/3500) * (HH - 20W∞) = 0

Solving for W∞, we get:

W∞ = HH/20

So as t→[infinity], the person's weight approaches W∞ = HH/20.

This means that if the person starts out weighing 180 pounds and consumes 3200 calories a day, their weight will eventually stabilize at W∞ = 3200/20 = 160 pounds.

after integrating we get ∫76 cos(29 x) cos(34 x) cos(4x) dx= 1/150 [sin(75x) + 2sin(67x) + 2sin(59x)] + C

Using the identity cos(a)cos(b) = 1/2[cos(a+b) + cos(a-b)], we can rewrite the integrand as:

cos(29x)cos(34x)cos(4x) = 1/2[cos((29+34+4)x) + cos((29+34-4)x)]cos(4x)
= 1/2[cos(67x) + cos(59x)]cos(4x)

Now, using the same identity again, we can further simplify:

cos(67x)cos(4x) = 1/2[cos(71x) + cos(63x)]cos(4x)
cos(59x)cos(4x) = 1/2[cos(63x) + cos(55x)]cos(4x)

Substituting these back into the original integral, we get:

∫76 cos(29x)cos(34x)cos(4x) dx = 1/2 ∫76 [cos(71x) + cos(63x) + cos(63x) + cos(55x)]cos(4x) dx
= 1/2 ∫76 [cos(71x)cos(4x) + cos(63x)cos(4x) + cos(63x)cos(4x) + cos(55x)cos(4x)] dx

Answer: £326

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the cost per jumper

To find out how much Ryan spent on each jumper, we divide the total cost by the number of jumpers.

[tex]\frac{130}{40} = 3.25[/tex]

This gives us a cost of £3.25 per jumper.

Step 2: Calculate the revenue from selling 80% of the jumpers

Ryan sells 80% of the 40 jumpers, so:

[tex]\text{0.8 x 40 = 32}[/tex]

So he sold 32 Jumpers.

He sells each jumper for £12:

[tex]\text{32 x 12 = 384}[/tex]

So his revenue from selling these jumpers is £384

Step 3: Calculate the revenue from selling the remaining jumpers on the Buy one get one half price offer

Ryan has 8 jumpers left after selling 80% of them. He puts these on a Buy one get one half price offer, which means that for every jumper sold at full price, he sells another one at half price.

This means that he sells 4 jumpers at full price (£12 each) and 4 jumpers at half price (£6 each).

His revenue from selling these jumpers is:

[tex]\text{(4 x 12) + (4 x 6) = 72}[/tex]

Step 4: Calculate the total revenue

Ryan's total revenue is the sum of the revenue from selling 80% of the jumpers and the revenue from selling the remaining jumpers on the Buy one get one half price offer.

This is:

[tex]\text{384 + 72 = 456}[/tex]

So Ryan's total revenue is £456

Step 5: Calculate the total cost

Ryan's total cost is the amount he spent on buying the jumpers, which is £130.

Step 6: Calculate the profit

Ryan's profit is the difference between his total revenue and his total cost:

[tex]\text{456 - 130 = 326}[/tex]

Therefore, Ryan makes a profit of £326.

The number of bows Lulu can make  from the remaining ribbon is 13 bows.

To find the remaining ribbon, first, convert 1 1/3 to an improper fraction (1*3 + 1 = 4, so 1 1/3 = 4/3). Now, subtract 4/3 from 10 feet.

10 - (4/3) = (30/3) - (4/3) = 26/3 feet of ribbon remaining.

She uses 8 inches of ribbon for each bow. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, convert the remaining ribbon to inches:

(26/3) * 12 = 104 inches of ribbon remaining.

Now, divide 104 inches by the 8 inches required for each bow to find the number of bows she can make:

104 / 8 = 13 bows.

Lulu can make 13 bows with the remaining ribbon.

Experimental probability of landing on blue = 1/12 and experimental probability and theoretical probability are not close.

1.

To find the experimental probability of landing on blue, we need to divide the number of times it landed on blue by the total number of spins.

Experimental probability of landing on blue = Number of times landed on blue / Total number of spins

Here, the spinner was spun 12 times and landed on blue 1 time.

Experimental probability of landing on blue = 1/12

2.

The theoretical probability of landing on blue is the ratio of the number of blue spaces to the total number of spaces on the spinner. Since there is only one blue space out of four total spaces, the theoretical probability is 1/4 or 0.25.

The experimental probability = 1/12 = 0.083

So, the experimental probability and theoretical probability are not close.

A possible reason for the discrepancy is likely due to the small sample size of spins. With a larger number of spins, the experimental probability should converge closer to the theoretical probability. This is known as the law of large numbers in probability theory.

The optimal rental price to maximize revenue is $35, the same as two summers ago.

To determine the optimal canoe rental price to maximize revenue, we can use the concept of price elasticity of demand, which measures the responsiveness of demand to a change in price.

When the price of a product decreases, consumers tend to buy more of it, but the increase in demand may not be proportional to the decrease in price. The price elasticity of demand can help us estimate the percentage change in demand for a given percentage change in price.

In this case, we can use the data from the previous two summers to estimate the price elasticity of demand for canoe rentals. From the data provided, we know that a $5 decrease in price led to an increase of 25 canoes rented.

This means that the price elasticity of demand is approximately -5 (25/5). In other words, for every 1% decrease in price, we can expect a 5% increase in demand.

To determine the optimal rental price, we need to find the point where the marginal revenue from renting an additional canoe is equal to the marginal cost of renting it out. Assuming that the marginal cost of renting out an additional canoe is constant, we can use the price elasticity of demand to estimate the change in revenue due to a change in price.

If we increase the rental price by $1, we can expect to lose 5% of customers (assuming the same elasticity as last summer). This means that for every $1 increase in price, we will lose 7.5 (150*5%) customers. On the other hand, we will gain $35 in revenue for each of the remaining 142.5 canoes rented, resulting in a total revenue of $4,987.5.

If we decrease the rental price by $1, we can expect to gain 5% more customers, resulting in 157.5 canoes rented. However, we will also lose $30 in revenue for each of the 150 original customers who decide to rent at the lower price.

This means that for every $1 decrease in price, we will gain 7.5 customers but lose $4,500 in revenue. The total revenue at a rental price of $34 will be $4,827.5.

This price will result in the same number of customers as two summers ago but with a slightly higher revenue due to inflation.
