Answers
As shown at the graph, we need to find x and y
The angles (x+1) and (2y+1) are vertical
so, x + 1 = 2y + 1
so,
x = 2y eq.(1)
And the sum of the angles (x+1) , (3x + 4y) and (71 - 3y) are 180
So,
(x+1) + (3x + 4y) + (71-3y) = 180
x + 1 + 3x + 4y + 71 - 3y = 180
4x + y = 180 - 1 - 71
4x + y = 108
Substitute with x from eq (1) with 2y
4 * 2y + y = 108
8y + y = 108
9y = 108
y = 108/9 = 12
x = 2y = 2 * 12 = 24
So, x = 24 and y = 12

Histogram Tells you how many pumpkins had mass below 6 kg
The box plot can be used to determine that the median was 8
Explanation:
A histogram is a chart the plots frequency of a certain quantity.
In our case, the histogram given tell us how many pumpkins fall within a certain mass range. Therefore, to find out how many pumpkins are below 6 kg, we use a histogram.
On the other hand, the box plot summarizes the numerical data. In our case, it can be used to find the median weight of the pumpkins by just reading off the position of the median line.

The total area under the normal distribution curve is 1. z-scores are indicated in the horizontal axis below this curve. This means that the sum of areas under the curve at the left and at the right of a certain z-score must be equal to 1.
Then if the area at the right of the z-score that we are looking for is 0.04 the area at its left must be equal to 1-0.04=0.96. The area at the left of z is important because z-score tables usually show the areas at the left of several z-scores. Then the only thing that we have to do is look for the z-score associated with 0.96 in one of these tables. In your case the table that you should use is the one named "Normal Table -∞ to z". That table should look like this one:
As you can see the value 0.96 is associated with the row 1.7 and the column .05 which means that the z-score that meets that the area under the curve at its right is 0.04 is z=1.7+0.05=1.75.

A decrease in smoking in the United States has resulted in lower death rates caused bylung cancer. The number of death rates per 100,000 people y can be expressed byy = - 26x2 - .55x + 91.81, where x represents the number of year after 2000.
Answers
Given the equation:
[tex]y=-0.26x^2-0.55x+91.81[/tex]Where x represents the number of years after 2000.
Let's solve for the following:
a.) Calculate the number of deaths per 100,000 for 2015 and 2017.
• For 2015, we have:
Number of years between 2015 and 2000 = 2015 - 2000 = 15
Substitute 15 for x and solve for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-0.26(15)^2-0.55(15)+91.81 \\ \\ y=-0.26(225)-8.25+91.81 \\ \\ y=-58.5-8.25+91.81 \\ \\ y=25.06\approx25 \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of deaths per 100,000 for 2015 is 25.
• For 2017:
Number of years between 2017 and 2000 = 2017 - 2000 = 17 years
Subustitute 17 for x and solve for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-0.25(17)^2-0.55(17)+91.81 \\ \\ y=7.32\approx7 \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of deaths oer 100,000 for 2017 is 7.
• b.) Let's solve for x when y = 50 using the quadratic formula.
Apply the quadratic formula:
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{(b^2-4ac)}}{2a}[/tex]Now, subsitute 50 for y and equate to zero:
[tex]50=-0.26x^2-0.55x+91.81[/tex]Subtract 50 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 50-50=-0.26x^2-0.55x+91.81-50 \\ \\ 0=-0.26x^2-0.55+41.81 \\ \\ -0.26x^2-0.55+41.81=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Apply the general quadractic equation to get the values of a, b and c:
[tex]\begin{gathered} ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \\ -0.26x^2-0.55+41.81=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, we have:
a = -0.26
b = -0.55
c = 41.81
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-0.55)\pm\sqrt[]{-0.55^2-4(-0.26\ast41.81)}}{2(-0.26)} \\ \\ x=\frac{0.55\pm\sqrt[]{0.3025+43.4824}}{-0.52} \\ \\ x=\frac{0.55\pm6.617}{-0.52} \\ \\ x=-13.78,\text{ 11.}67 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the number of years cannot be a negative value, let's take the positive value 11.67
Therefore, the value of x is 11.67 when y = 50.

[tex]\text{tax}=4.95\cdot0.085=0.42075\text{ per smoothie}[/tex]so, the total cost is

Last year, Kevin had $10,000 to invest. he invested some of it in an account that paid 6% simple interest per year, and he invested the rest in an account that paid 10% simple interest per year. after one year, he received a total of $920 in interest. how much did he invest in each account?first account:second account:
Answers
Simple interest is represented by the following expression:
[tex]\begin{gathered} I=\text{Prt} \\ \text{where,} \\ I=\text{ interest} \\ P=\text{principal} \\ r=\text{interest rate in decimal form} \\ t=\text{ time (years)} \end{gathered}[/tex]We need to create a system of equations:
Let x be the money invested in the account that paid 6%
Let y be the money invested in the account that paid 10%
So, he received a total of $920 in interest, then:
[tex]920=0.06x+0.1y\text{ (1)}[/tex]And we know that money invested must add together $10,000:
[tex]x+y=10,000\text{ (2)}[/tex]Then, we can isolate y in equation (2):
[tex]y=10,000-x[/tex]Now, let's substitute y=10,000-x in the equation (1):
[tex]\begin{gathered} 920=0.06x+0.1(10,000-x) \\ 920=0.06x+1000-0.1x \\ 0.1x-0.06x=1,000-920 \\ 0.04x=80 \\ x=\frac{80}{0.04} \\ x=2,000 \end{gathered}[/tex]That means, he invested $2,000 in the account that paid 6% simple interest. Now, having x, we are going to substitute x in the second equation (2):
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=10,000-x \\ y=10,000-2,000 \\ y=8,000 \end{gathered}[/tex]He invested $8,000 in the account that paid 10% simple interest per year.

In one us city the taxi cost is 2$ plus .50c per mile . If you are traveling from the airport there is an additional charge of 3.50$ for tolls how far can i travel for 33$
Answers
Let the number of miles I can travel for $33 be x;
The total cost of taxi ride from the airport is;
Flat fee + Tolls fee + Charge/Mile = Total cost
Flat fee = $2.00
Toll fee = $3.50
Charge per mile = 0.50x
Total cost = $33.00
Thus, we have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2.00+3.50+0.50x=33.00 \\ 0.50x=33.00-5.50 \\ 0.50x=27.50 \\ x=\frac{27.50}{0.50} \\ x=55 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the number of miles

Factor the following polynomials completely.(x + y)³ + 1 =
Answers
Given the equation (x + y)³ + 1 , we can assume we have two terms here. These are (x + y)³ and 1. Since both terms are perfect cubes, we can use the sum of cubes formula which is:
[tex]a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)[/tex]where a = (x+y) and b = 1.
Therefore, the factors of (x + y)³ + 1 is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mleft(x+y\mright)^3+1=(x+y+1)\lbrack(x+y)^2-(x+y)(1)+1^2) \\ (x+y)^3+1=(x+y+1)(x^2+2xy+y^2-x-y+1) \end{gathered}[/tex]The factor of (x + y)³ + 1 is (x + y + 1)(x² + 2xy + y² - x - y +1).

Solution:
Given that;
y varies directly with the square of x
[tex]y\propto x^2[/tex]This expression above becomes
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=kx^2 \\ Where\text{ k is the constant} \end{gathered}[/tex]When
[tex]y=10\text{ and x}=5[/tex]Substitute the values for x and y into the expression above to find k
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=kx^2 \\ 10=k(5)^2 \\ 10=k(25) \\ 10=25k \\ Divide\text{ both sides 25} \\ \frac{25k}{25}=\frac{10}{25} \\ k=\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]The expression becomes
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=kx^2 \\ y=\frac{2}{5}x^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]a) The value of y when x = 20
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{5}x^2 \\ y=\frac{2}{5}(20)^2 \\ y=\frac{2}{5}(400) \\ y=160 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of y is 160
b) The value of x when y = 40
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{5}x^2 \\ 40=\frac{2}{5}x^2 \\ Crossmultiply \\ 40(5)=2x^2 \\ 200=2x^2 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 2} \\ \frac{200}{2}=\frac{2x^2}{2} \\ 100=x^2 \\ x^2=100 \\ Square\text{ root of both sides} \\ \sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{100} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of x is 10
