A basketball player made 12 out of 15 free throws she attempted. She wants to know how many consecutive free throws she would have to make to raise the percent of successful free throws to 85%. Write an equation to represent this situation. Solve the equation. How many consecutive free throws would she have to make to raise her percent to 85%? Answer:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of ADDITIONAL throws

(12 + x) / (15 + x) = 0.85

12 + x = 0.85(15 + x)

12 + x = 12.75 + 0.85x

0.15x = 0.75

x = 5 more successful consecutive throws. or 17 out of 20

Answers

Answer:

The owner of Get-A-Away Travel has recently surveyed a random sample of 496 customers to test the mean age of the agency's customers is over 24 . The appropriate hypotheses are H0: μ ⤠24, Ha: μ > 24 If he concludes the mean age is over 24 when it is not over 24, he makes a _error.

Answers

Using error concepts for hypothesis tests, it is found that there is a Type I error.

A Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected.

A Type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is not-rejected.

In this problem, the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 24[/tex]

 

The alternative hypothesis is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 24[/tex]

He concludes that the mean age is over 24 when it is not, that is, a true null hypothesis is rejected, hence there is a Type I error.

4.75x10^

Now, the number is large, so the exponent is positive.

So we move the decimal place some number of units. We move the decimal place 10 units, so the exponent is 10:

pamelas age is three times jiris age the sum of their age is 32 what is jiris age

Answers

Answer:

Jiris age = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Jiris = j

Pamelas Age = 3j

Pamelas's age + Jiris age = 32

3j + j = 32

4j = 32

j = 32 / 4

= 8

Jiris age = 8

Pamelas age = 3 times Jiris's

Pamelas age = 24

Answer:

8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 3I

P + I = 32

Plug P = 3I into the second equation:

3I + I = 32

I = 32/4 = 8

So Jiris's age = 8.

At a particular time, a tree casts a shadow 17 m long on horizontal ground. At the same time, a vertical pole 3 m high casts a shadow 4 m long. Calculate the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answers

Using a system of equations, the height of the tree would be 12.80 meters.

Equating the height and shadows of the tree and pole :

Height of pole / shadow of pole = height of tree / shadow of tree

Representing the equation thus :

Let the height of the tree = h

3/4 = h/17

Cross multiply

4h = 17 × 3

4h = 51

Divide both sides by 4

h = 51/4

h = 12.75.

Hence, the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a meter is 12.80 meters.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 5}f(x)=-5\\\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x)=3\\\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x)=3\\\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)=4\\[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 5}f(x)[/tex]

This means "the limit of f(x) as x approaches 5"

In this case, f(x) is a basic linear function while x > 1, so a limit is not necessary but it can still be used as it is here. For this one, you can just calculate f(5), and that is:

[tex]f(x)=5-2x[/tex]

[tex]f(5)=5-2(5)=5-10=-5[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x \to 5}f(x)=-5[/tex]

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

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x)[/tex]

This one is a little different. It means "the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 from the negative (left) direction"

The negative direction of course means x will be less than 1, so we'll use this function:

[tex]f(x)=4-x[/tex]

It's easier if you graph it, but you can also do it like this:

[tex]f(0)=4+0=4\\f(0.5)=4-0.5=3.5\\f(0.75)=4-0.75=3.25\\f(0.9)=4-0.9=3.1\\f(0.99)=4-0.99=3.01[/tex]

There's a clear pattern there. You can see that f(1) should be 3, but this function only applies while x is less than 1 so it can never reach 3. It will get infinitely close, and that can be shown with the limit:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x)=3[/tex]

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

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x)[/tex]

This one works the same way, but from the positive (right) direction.

[tex]f(2)=5-4=1\\f(1.5)=5-3=2\\f(1.25)=5-2.5=2.5\\f(1.1)=5-2.2=2.8\\f(1.01)=5-2.02=2.98\\f(1.001)=5-2.002=2.998[/tex]

It will also get infinitely close to 3 when x = 1, but won't ever reach it because this function only applies when x is greater than 1.

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x)=3[/tex]

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

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)[/tex]

Here, the function for x=1 is just:

[tex]f(x)=4[/tex]

It's given already, so the limit is just:

[tex]\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate g(- 3) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)

g(- 3) = (- 3)² + 6(- 3) - 7 = 9 - 18 - 7 = - 16 , then

f(- 16) = (- 16)³ - 4(- 16)² + 5

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the number are x, y and z

Then,

x + y + z = 118  ...(1)

y = x - 8   ...(2)

z = 3y  ....(3)

After solving the above three equation by plugging the value of z in the equation (1) then solve this equation with (2) we will get:

x = 30

y = 22

Then z from the equation (3):

z = 3(22) = 66

Thus, the numbers are 30, 22, and 66 if the sum of three numbers is 118. The second number is 8 less than the first. The third number is 3 times the second.
