"You are growing like a weed!” D’rek's grandmother said to him when she saw him for the
first time in a year. If D’rek grew 8 inches over the last year, and an average dandelion (a
common weed) grows 0.1 inches in one day, is D’rek growing like a weed? Justify your
answer.

Answers

Answer 1

growth rate:

[tex]=\frac{8}{365}[/tex]Derek is not growing like a weed because the weed grows at 0.1 inch per day, while he grows at a rate of 0.022 inch per day.

The number of days in a year = 365

The question says that D'rek grew at the rate of 8 inches in the last year'

D'reks growth rate:

[tex]=\frac{8}{365}[/tex]

= 0.022 inch per day

From the calculation above, Derek is growing at the rate of 0.022 inch per day. But the question says that the weed grows at the rate of 0.1 inch per day

In conclusion, Derek is not growing like a weed, his growth rate differs from that of the weed.

Find three consecutive even integers such that five times the second is six more than twice the sum
of the first and third integers

Answers

Answer:

The first number = 4The second number = 6The third number = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let all unknown numbers be represented by the variable x.So;

x = first number

x + 2 = second number

x + 4 = third number

placing in a form as demanded by the question.

5(x + 2) = 6 + 2x + 2 ( x + 4)

5x + 10 = 6 + 2x + 2x +8

5x - 4x = 14 - 10

x = 4

Therefore;

The first number (x) = 4

The second number ( x + 2) = 4 + 2 = 6

The third number (x + 4) = 4 + 4 = 8

Answer:

2x + 2x +2 + 2x +4 = 6x +6 =Sum

5 * (2x +2) = 2 * (2x + 2x +4) +6

10x + 10 = 8x + 8 + 6

2x = 4

x = 2

So the numbers are:

2x or 4

2 x + 2 = 6

2x + 4 = 8

Answers

Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi

The value of the expression is a decimal -17.33.

What is an expression?

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

0.3x = -5 - (-0.4 - (-0.6))

0.3x = -5 - (-0.4 + 0.6)

0.3x = -5 - 0.2

0.3x = -5.2

x = -5.2/0.3

x = -17.33

Thus,

The value of x is -17.33.

The gradient of the line joining (4, q) to (6, 5) is twice the gradient
of the line joining (0, 0) to (4, q). Find q.

Answers

Answer:

q is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]gradient = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } \\ [/tex]

let gradient of the line joining (4, q) to (6, 5) be x

let gradient of the line joining (0, 0) to (4, q) be y

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

therefore:

[tex]( \frac{q - 0}{4 - 0} ) = 2( \frac{5 - q}{6 - 4} ) \\ \\ \frac{q}{4} = \frac{2(5 - q)}{2} \\ \\ \frac{q}{4} = 5 - q \\ \\ q = 4(5 - q) \\ q = 20 - 4q[/tex]

collect like terms:

[tex]q + 4q = 20 \\ 5q = 20 \\ q = \frac{20}{5} \\ \\ q = 4[/tex]

The value of q will be "4".

Let,

The gradient of line joining (4, q) to (6, 5) be "x".The gradient of line joining (0, 0) to (4, q) be "y".

As we know,

[tex]Gradient = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex][tex]y = 2x[/tex]

then,

→ [tex]\frac{q-0}{4-0} = 2(\frac{5-q}{6-4} )[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{q}{4} = \frac{2(5-q)}{2}[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{q}{4} = 5-q[/tex]

By applying cross-multiplication, we get

      [tex]q = 4(5-q)[/tex]

      [tex]q = 20-4q[/tex]

By adding "4q" both sides, we get

[tex]q+4q= 20-4q+4q[/tex]

     [tex]5q = 20[/tex]

       [tex]q = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]

       [tex]q = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(-5)(-5)(-5)=-125

Given the expression:

[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \sqrt[3]{ - 125} }[/tex]

Definition:

[tex] \displaystyle \large{ y = \begin{cases} \pm \sqrt[n]{x} \longrightarrow n = (2,4,6,8,...) \: \: (x \geqslant 0) \\ \sqrt[n]{x}\longrightarrow n = (1,3,5,7,...) \: \: (x \in \R) \end{cases}}[/tex]

First, factor the -125. -125 comes from (-5)×(-5)×(-5) or (-5)^3.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \sqrt[3]{ ( - 5) \times ( - 5) \times ( - 5)} }[/tex]

Because if (-5)^2 = 25 then 25×(-5) again will be -125.

Since this is the cube root, we have to pull out 3 terms in one. There are 3 fives that we can take off and therefore,

Hakim and Aziz had some savings in the ratio 3 : 5. Hakim saved another $82 and Aziz spent $110. Both have the same amount of money now. How much do each of them have now?​

Answers

Answer:  $370

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

Explanation:

Hakim and Aziz have savings in the ratio 3:5. This means that Hakim has 3x dollars while Aziz has 5x dollars. The x is some positive real number.

We're then told that Hakim saved another $82, which means it goes from 3x to 3x+82

At the same time, Aziz spent $110 which means the 5x decreases to 5x-110

At this point, the two people have the same amount of money. Set the expressions we found equal to one another and solve for x.

3x+82 = 5x-110

3x-5x = -110-82

-2x = -192

x = -192/(-2)

x = 96

Then use this x value to compute each expression like so

3x+82 = 3*96+82 = 3705x-110 = 5*96-110 = 370

Both have $370 after Hakim saved that additional $82 and after Aziz spent that $110.

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

Extra info:

If we rewind things a bit, Hakim would have 3*x = 3*96 = 288 dollars while Aziz would have 5x = 5*96 = 480 dollars. This is before any additional saving or spending.

Then note how the ratio 288:480 fully reduces to 3:5 after dividing both parts by the GCF 96.
