A boutique perfume workshop creates a signature fragrance blend by combining two fragrance oils, Oil A and Oil B. Oil A costs 12perounceandcontains4012 per ounce and contains 40% pure essential oil by volume. Oil B costs 20 per ounce and contains 80% pure essential oil by volume. The perfumer creates a 30-ounce batch of the signature blend at a total cost that averages exactly $15 per ounce. What is the total volume, in ounces, of pure essential oil contained in this 30-ounce blend?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16.5

Cevap

The total volume of pure essential oil contained in the 30-ounce blend is 16.5 ounces.
To find the total essential oil content, first set up a system of equations for the volumes of Oil A (xx) and Oil B (yy): x+y=30x + y = 30 and 12x+20y=45012x + 20y = 450. Solving this system yields x=18.75x = 18.75 ounces and y=11.25y = 11.25 ounces. Multiplying each by its respective essential oil concentration gives 0.40×18.75=7.50.40 \times 18.75 = 7.5 ounces from Oil A and 0.80×11.25=90.80 \times 11.25 = 9 ounces from Oil B, totaling 16.5 ounces of essential oil.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up linear equations representing the total volume and total cost of the mixture.
x+y=30x + y = 30 and 12x+20y=45012x + 20y = 450, where xx is ounces of Oil A and yy is ounces of Oil B.
The total cost of the 30-ounce blend at 15perounceis15 per ounce is 15 \times 30 = 450$ dollars.
2
Solve for the quantities of Oil A and Oil B used in the mixture.
x=18.75x = 18.75 ounces of Oil A and y=11.25y = 11.25 ounces of Oil B.
Substituting y=30xy = 30 - x into 12x+20(30x)=45012x + 20(30 - x) = 450 yields 8x=150-8x = -150, giving x=18.75x = 18.75.
3
Compute the amount of pure essential oil contributed by each component and sum them.
0.40(18.75)+0.80(11.25)=7.5+9=16.50.40(18.75) + 0.80(11.25) = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5 ounces.
Oil A contains 40% essential oil by volume and Oil B contains 80% essential oil by volume.

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The value of xx is 66.
Factoring out common exponential terms inside both radicals yields 22524x=1522x\sqrt{225 \cdot 2^{4x}} = 15 \cdot 2^{2x} for the numerator and 92x=32x/2\sqrt{9 \cdot 2^x} = 3 \cdot 2^{x/2} for the denominator. Dividing these gives 523x/25 \cdot 2^{3x/2}. Equating this to 25602560 results in 23x/2=512=292^{3x/2} = 512 = 2^9, which simplifies to 3x2=9\frac{3x}{2} = 9, or x=6x = 6.

1
Simplify the numerator inside the radical expression.
5442x+1+942x=1522x\sqrt{54 \cdot 4^{2x+1} + 9 \cdot 4^{2x}} = 15 \cdot 2^{2x}
Rewrite 42x+14^{2x+1} as 442x4 \cdot 4^{2x}. Then factor out 42x4^{2x}: 54(442x)+942x=(216+9)42x=22542x54(4 \cdot 4^{2x}) + 9 \cdot 4^{2x} = (216 + 9)4^{2x} = 225 \cdot 4^{2x}. Taking the square root gives 225(22)2x=1522x\sqrt{225} \cdot \sqrt{(2^2)^{2x}} = 15 \cdot 2^{2x}.
2
Simplify the denominator inside the radical expression.
2x+3+2x=32x/2\sqrt{2^{x+3} + 2^x} = 3 \cdot 2^{x/2}
Rewrite 2x+32^{x+3} as 232x=82x2^3 \cdot 2^x = 8 \cdot 2^x. Factoring out 2x2^x gives (8+1)2x=92x(8 + 1)2^x = 9 \cdot 2^x. Taking the square root gives 92x=32x/2\sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{2^x} = 3 \cdot 2^{x/2}.
3
Simplify the quotient of the two radical expressions.
1522x32x/2=523x/2\frac{15 \cdot 2^{2x}}{3 \cdot 2^{x/2}} = 5 \cdot 2^{3x/2}
Divide the constants 153=5\frac{15}{3} = 5 and subtract exponents with the same base: 2xx2=3x22x - \frac{x}{2} = \frac{3x}{2}.
4
Equate to 2560 and solve for xx.
x=6x = 6
Divide both sides by 5: 23x/2=25605=5122^{3x/2} = \frac{2560}{5} = 512. Express 512 as a power of 2: 512=29512 = 2^9. Therefore, 3x2=9    3x=18    x=6\frac{3x}{2} = 9 \implies 3x = 18 \implies x = 6.

A quality control inspector evaluates a batch of 1616 precision components. Exactly 1010 of the components meet all engineering specifications, while 66 have minor surface defects. If the inspector randomly selects 22 components from the batch one after another without replacement, what is the probability that both selected components meet all engineering specifications?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.375

Cevap

The probability that both selected components meet all engineering specifications is 0.3750.375 (or 38\frac{3}{8}).
Since the components are selected without replacement, the outcome of the second draw depends on the outcome of the first draw. The probability of selecting a qualifying component first is 1016\frac{10}{16}. Given that a qualifying component was drawn first, 99 qualifying components remain out of 1515 total components. The joint probability of both events occurring is 1016×915=90240=38=0.375\frac{10}{16} \times \frac{9}{15} = \frac{90}{240} = \frac{3}{8} = 0.375.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the probability of selecting a component meeting specifications on the first draw.
P(E1)=1016=58P(E_1) = \frac{10}{16} = \frac{5}{8}
There are 1010 qualifying components out of 1616 total components.
2
Determine the conditional probability of selecting a second component meeting specifications, given that the first component selected also met specifications.
P(E2E1)=915=35P(E_2 \mid E_1) = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}
Because sampling is done without replacement, 99 qualifying components remain out of 1515 total remaining components.
3
Apply the multiplication rule for dependent events to calculate the probability of both events occurring.
P(E1E2)=P(E1)×P(E2E1)=58×35=38=0.375P(E_1 \cap E_2) = P(E_1) \times P(E_2 \mid E_1) = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{8} = 0.375
For dependent events, the joint probability is the product of the first event's probability and the conditional probability of the second event.

Cevap: 1440

Cevap

1440
To minimize n=2a3b5cn = 2^a \cdot 3^b \cdot 5^c subject to (a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=36(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 36 with a2a \ge 2, b2b \ge 2, and c1c \ge 1, we evaluate all valid factor partitions of 3636. The partition (a+1,b+1,c+1)=(6,3,2)(a+1, b+1, c+1) = (6, 3, 2) yields (a,b,c)=(5,2,1)(a, b, c) = (5, 2, 1), giving n=253251=1440n = 2^5 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5^1 = 1440, which is the smallest possible integer satisfying all criteria.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express nn in terms of prime factorization and establish exponent inequalities.
n=2a3b5cn = 2^a \cdot 3^b \cdot 5^c with a2a \ge 2, b2b \ge 2, and c1c \ge 1.
Since nn is a multiple of 180=223251180 = 2^2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5^1 and contains no other prime factors, its prime powers must at least match those of 180180.
2
Set up the divisor count equation.
(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=36(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) = 36, where a+13a+1 \ge 3, b+13b+1 \ge 3, and c+12c+1 \ge 2.
The total number of positive divisors of 2a3b5c2^a \cdot 3^b \cdot 5^c is given by (a+1)(b+1)(c+1)(a+1)(b+1)(c+1).
3
Determine all valid factorizations of 3636 into three factors (x,y,z)=(a+1,b+1,c+1)(x, y, z) = (a+1, b+1, c+1).
The valid factor sets {x,y,z}\{x, y, z\} satisfying x,y3x, y \ge 3 and z2z \ge 2 are {4,3,3}\{4, 3, 3\} and {6,3,2}\{6, 3, 2\}.
Factor sets containing a factor of 22 for xx or yy (such as {9,2,2}\{9, 2, 2\}) are invalid because a+13a+1 \ge 3 and b+13b+1 \ge 3.
4
Calculate the value of nn for all valid assignments of exponents.
From {4,3,3}\{4, 3, 3\}: (3,2,2)    1800(3, 2, 2) \implies 1800, (2,3,2)    2700(2, 3, 2) \implies 2700, (2,2,3)    4500(2, 2, 3) \implies 4500.
From {6,3,2}\{6, 3, 2\}: (5,2,1)    1440(5, 2, 1) \implies 1440, (2,5,1)    4860(2, 5, 1) \implies 4860.
Assigning larger exponents to smaller prime bases minimizes the overall product.

Select the minimum integer value among all candidates.
The smallest value is 14401440.
Comparing all valid candidates 1440,1800,2700,4500,48601440, 1800, 2700, 4500, 4860, the minimum is 14401440.

A chemical storage vessel contains a mixture composed of three liquid components: Component XX, Component YY, and Component ZZ. Initially, Component XX accounts for 38\frac{3}{8} of the total mixture volume, and Component YY accounts for 512\frac{5}{12} of the total mixture volume, with Component ZZ occupying the remainder of the volume.

During a processing stage, 13\frac{1}{3} of Component XX is extracted and 25\frac{2}{5} of Component YY is extracted, while Component ZZ remains completely unchanged. If the total volume of the mixture remaining in the vessel after processing is 170 milliliters, what was the total volume, in milliliters, of the mixture in the vessel before processing?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 240

Cevap

The initial total volume of the mixture was 240 milliliters.
To find the initial total volume, first find the fraction of the initial mixture that is Component Z: 1(3/8+5/12)=5/241 - (3/8 + 5/12) = 5/24. Next, compute the remaining amounts of each component relative to the initial total volume VV: Component X has (11/3)×3/8=1/4=6/24(1 - 1/3) \times 3/8 = 1/4 = 6/24 remaining; Component Y has (12/5)×5/12=1/4=6/24(1 - 2/5) \times 5/12 = 1/4 = 6/24 remaining; Component Z retains its 5/245/24. Summing these yields 6/24+6/24+5/24=17/246/24 + 6/24 + 5/24 = 17/24 of the original volume. Setting (17/24)V=170(17/24)V = 170 mL gives V=170×(24/17)=240V = 170 \times (24/17) = 240 mL.

1
Find the initial fraction of the mixture representing Component ZZ.
Component Z=1(38+512)=1(924+1024)=11924=524Z = 1 - \left(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{12}\right) = 1 - \left(\frac{9}{24} + \frac{10}{24}\right) = 1 - \frac{19}{24} = \frac{5}{24}.
The sum of all component fractions must equal 1.
2
Calculate the remaining fraction for each component relative to the initial total volume VV.
Remaining X=(113)×38V=23×38V=14V=624VX = \left(1 - \frac{1}{3}\right) \times \frac{3}{8}V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{8}V = \frac{1}{4}V = \frac{6}{24}V.
Remaining Y=(125)×512V=35×512V=14V=624VY = \left(1 - \frac{2}{5}\right) \times \frac{5}{12}V = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{12}V = \frac{1}{4}V = \frac{6}{24}V.
Remaining Z=524VZ = \frac{5}{24}V.
When a fraction of a component is removed, the remaining fraction of that component is multiplied by its original portion of the total mixture.
3
Sum the remaining component fractions to find the total remaining volume as a fraction of VV.
Total Remaining Fraction =624V+624V+524V=1724V= \frac{6}{24}V + \frac{6}{24}V + \frac{5}{24}V = \frac{17}{24}V.
Combining the remaining amounts gives the fraction of the initial mixture left.
4
Solve for the initial total volume VV using the given final volume of 170 mL.
\frac{17}{24}V = 170 \implies V = 170 \times \frac{24}{17} = 10 \times 24 = 240 \text{ mL}.
Multiplying the final volume by the reciprocal of the remaining fraction yields the original volume.

When the positive integer nn is divided by 99, the remainder is 55. What is the remainder when n2+4n+7n^2 + 4n + 7 is divided by 99?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The remainder when n2+4n+7n^2 + 4n + 7 is divided by 99 is 77.
Any positive integer nn that leaves a remainder of 55 when divided by 99 can be represented as n=9k+5n = 9k + 5 for some non-negative integer kk. Substituting this into n2+4n+7n^2 + 4n + 7 yields (9k+5)2+4(9k+5)+7=81k2+90k+25+36k+20+7=81k2+126k+52(9k + 5)^2 + 4(9k + 5) + 7 = 81k^2 + 90k + 25 + 36k + 20 + 7 = 81k^2 + 126k + 52. Since 81k281k^2 and 126k126k are both divisible by 99, the remainder of the entire expression when divided by 99 is determined entirely by 5252. Dividing 5252 by 99 gives 52=9×5+752 = 9 \times 5 + 7, so the final remainder is 77.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express the integer nn in terms of its remainder upon division by 99.
n=9k+5n = 9k + 5 for some non-negative integer kk, or equivalently n5(mod9)n \equiv 5 \pmod{9}.
By the division algorithm, any integer divided by 99 can be written as a multiple of 99 plus the remainder.
2
Substitute n5(mod9)n \equiv 5 \pmod{9} into the polynomial expression n2+4n+7n^2 + 4n + 7.
n2+4n+752+4(5)+7=25+20+7=52(mod9)n^2 + 4n + 7 \equiv 5^2 + 4(5) + 7 = 25 + 20 + 7 = 52 \pmod{9}.
Properties of modular arithmetic allow substitution of remainder values into polynomial expressions.
3
Find the remainder of 5252 when divided by 99.
52=9×5+752 = 9 \times 5 + 7, which gives a remainder of 77.
Dividing 5252 by 99 yields a quotient of 55 and a remainder of 77, which is strictly between 00 and 88.

Cevap

The height of the triangle perpendicular to the base is 6 centimeters.
The area of a triangle is given by Area=12×base×height\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}. Substituting 4242 for the area and 1414 for the base yields 42=12×14×h42 = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times h, which simplifies to 42=7h42 = 7h. Dividing 4242 by 77 gives h=6h = 6.

If xx is a real number that satisfies both 3x129|3x - 12| \le 9 and 2x4|2 - x| \ge 4, the maximum possible value of the expression 52x5 - 2x is MM and the minimum possible value is mm. What is the value of MmM - m?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The value of MmM - m is 2.
Solving 3x129|3x - 12| \le 9 yields 1x71 \le x \le 7. Solving 2x4|2 - x| \ge 4 yields x2x \le -2 or x6x \ge 6. The set of xx-values satisfying both conditions is the intersection [6,7][6, 7]. Since 52x5 - 2x is a linear expression with a negative coefficient, its maximum value MM occurs at the smallest value of xx (x=6x = 6), giving M=52(6)=7M = 5 - 2(6) = -7. Its minimum value mm occurs at the largest value of xx (x=7x = 7), giving m=52(7)=9m = 5 - 2(7) = -9. Thus, Mm=7(9)=2M - m = -7 - (-9) = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Solve the inequality 3x129|3x - 12| \le 9
1x71 \le x \le 7
Expanding absolute value yields 93x129-9 \le 3x - 12 \le 9. Adding 12 gives 33x213 \le 3x \le 21, then dividing by 3 yields 1x71 \le x \le 7.
2
Solve the inequality 2x4|2 - x| \ge 4
x2x \le -2 or x6x \ge 6
Absolute value inequality ua|u| \ge a splits into uau \ge a or uau \le -a. Here 2x4    x22 - x \ge 4 \implies x \le -2, and 2x4    x62 - x \le -4 \implies x \ge 6.
3
Determine the overlapping domain for xx
6x76 \le x \le 7
Combining 1x71 \le x \le 7 with x2x \le -2 or x6x \ge 6 leaves only the interval 6x76 \le x \le 7.
4
Evaluate maximum MM and minimum mm of 52x5 - 2x on 6x76 \le x \le 7
M=7M = -7 and m=9m = -9
Since 2x-2x decreases as xx increases, the maximum occurs at x=6x = 6 (M=512=7M = 5 - 12 = -7) and the minimum occurs at x=7x = 7 (m=514=9m = 5 - 14 = -9).
5
Calculate the difference MmM - m
22
Subtracting mm from MM gives 7(9)=2-7 - (-9) = 2.

Cevap: 20

Cevap

The interquartile range (IQR) of the scores is 20.
For a set of 20 ordered scores, the first quartile Q1Q_1 is the median of the first 10 scores (average of the 5th and 6th values), and the third quartile Q3Q_3 is the median of the last 10 scores (average of the 15th and 16th values). Using the cumulative frequencies, the 5th and 6th scores are both 70 (Q1=70Q_1 = 70), and the 15th and 16th scores are both 90 (Q3=90Q_3 = 90). Thus, the interquartile range is IQR=Q3Q1=9070=20IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 90 - 70 = 20.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the cumulative frequency to locate quartile positions.
Score 60 occupies positions 1 to 3; Score 70 occupies positions 4 to 8; Score 80 occupies positions 9 to 14; Score 90 occupies positions 15 to 18; Score 100 occupies positions 19 to 20.
Tracking data positions in a frequency distribution allows efficient determination of medians and quartiles without expanding the raw list.
2
Calculate the first quartile (Q1Q_1).
Q1=70+702=70Q_1 = \frac{70 + 70}{2} = 70.
With 20 total values, the lower half consists of the first 10 values (positions 1 through 10). The median of these 10 values is the average of the 5th and 6th values, which are both 70.
3
Calculate the third quartile (Q3Q_3).
Q3=90+902=90Q_3 = \frac{90 + 90}{2} = 90.
The upper half consists of the last 10 values (positions 11 through 20). The median of these 10 values is the average of the 15th and 16th values, which are both 90.
4
Subtract Q1Q_1 from Q3Q_3 to find the interquartile range.
IQR=Q3Q1=9070=20IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 90 - 70 = 20.
The interquartile range represents the spread of the middle 50% of the dataset.

Two water pumps, Pump A and Pump B, were used to drain a reservoir containing 12,000 gallons of water. Pump A operates at a constant rate that is 50 gallons per hour greater than the rate of Pump B. Pump A worked alone for 4 hours, after which both pumps worked together for another 8 hours to completely empty the reservoir. What is the pumping rate of Pump B, in gallons per hour?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 570

Cevap

570
Let rr represent the rate of Pump B in gallons per hour. Pump A's rate is (r+50)(r + 50) gallons per hour. In the first 4 hours, Pump A drains 4(r+50)=4r+2004(r + 50) = 4r + 200 gallons. In the next 8 hours, both pumps operate together at a combined rate of (r+50)+r=2r+50(r + 50) + r = 2r + 50 gallons per hour, draining 8(2r+50)=16r+4008(2r + 50) = 16r + 400 gallons. Adding both quantities gives total volume drained: (4r+200)+(16r+400)=12,000(4r + 200) + (16r + 400) = 12,000. Simplifying gives 20r+600=12,00020r + 600 = 12,000, so 20r=11,40020r = 11,400, which yields r=570r = 570 gallons per hour.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define variables for the rate of each pump
Rate of Pump B = rr gal/hr; Rate of Pump A = r+50r + 50 gal/hr
Establishing a single unknown variable allows setting up a one-variable linear equation.
2
Write expressions for water drained during each time period
Period 1 (Pump A alone for 4 hrs): 4(r+50)=4r+2004(r + 50) = 4r + 200; Period 2 (Both pumps for 8 hrs): 8(2r+50)=16r+4008(2r + 50) = 16r + 400
Work done equals rate multiplied by time for each phase of operation.
3
Sum the work done in both periods to equal total volume and solve for rr
20r+600=12,00020r=11,400r=57020r + 600 = 12,000 \Rightarrow 20r = 11,400 \Rightarrow r = 570
Solving the linear equation yields the exact rate of Pump B.

In a circle, an arc of length 4π4\pi corresponds to a central angle of 4040^\circ. If the area of the sector formed by this central angle is kπk\pi, what is the value of kk?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 36

Cevap

The value of kk is 36.
Using the arc length equation 4π=403602πr4\pi = \frac{40}{360} \cdot 2\pi r, we solve for the radius r=18r = 18. Substituting r=18r = 18 into the sector area formula A=40360π(18)2A = \frac{40}{360} \cdot \pi (18)^2 results in A=36πA = 36\pi. Thus, k=36k = 36.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the radius of the circle using the arc length formula
Radius r=18r = 18
Arc length is related to central angle and radius by L=θ3602πrL = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \cdot 2\pi r. Substituting L=4πL = 4\pi and θ=40\theta = 40^\circ gives 4π=192πr    r=184\pi = \frac{1}{9} \cdot 2\pi r \implies r = 18.
2
Calculate the area of the sector using the radius and central angle
Sector Area A=36πA = 36\pi
Sector area is calculated using A=θ360πr2A = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \cdot \pi r^2. Substituting θ=40\theta = 40^\circ and r=18r = 18 gives A=19π(182)=36πA = \frac{1}{9} \cdot \pi (18^2) = 36\pi.

Extract the coefficient kk from kπk\pi
k=36k = 36
Comparing 36π36\pi to kπk\pi directly yields k=36k = 36.

In a circle centered at point OO, sector OABOAB has a central angle of 6060^\circ and a radius of 1212. A smaller circle is inscribed inside sector OABOAB such that it is tangent to radius OAOA, radius OBOB, and arc ABAB. If the area of the region inside sector OABOAB that lies outside the inscribed circle is expressed in the form kπk\pi, what is the value of kk?

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The correct value of kk is 8.
By using the geometry of the 3030^\circ-6060^\circ-9090^\circ right triangle formed by the angle bisector and the radius of tangency, the radius of the inscribed circle is found to be r=4r = 4. Subtracting its area (16π16\pi) from the sector's area (24π24\pi) gives 8π8\pi, so k=8k = 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the relationship between the radius of the larger circle RR and the radius of the inscribed circle rr.
OP=2rOP = 2r and R=3rR = 3r.
The center PP of the inscribed circle lies on the angle bisector of AOB=60\angle AOB = 60^\circ, creating a 3030^\circ angle with radius OAOA. The perpendicular distance from PP to radius OAOA is rr, so sin(30)=rOP=12\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{r}{OP} = \frac{1}{2}, giving OP=2rOP = 2r. Since the inscribed circle touches arc ABAB, OP+r=ROP + r = R, so 3r=R3r = R.
2
Calculate the radius rr of the inscribed circle.
r=4r = 4.
Given R=12R = 12, solving 3r=123r = 12 yields r=4r = 4.
3
Compute the area of sector OABOAB.
Areasector=24π\text{Area}_{\text{sector}} = 24\pi.
The formula for the area of a sector is θ360πR2\frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \pi R^2. Here, 60360π(122)=16×144π=24π\frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi (12^2) = \frac{1}{6} \times 144\pi = 24\pi.
4
Compute the area of the inscribed circle.
Areacircle=16π\text{Area}_{\text{circle}} = 16\pi.
The area of a circle with radius r=4r = 4 is πr2=π(42)=16π\pi r^2 = \pi (4^2) = 16\pi.
5
Subtract the area of the inscribed circle from the area of sector OABOAB to find kk.
k=8k = 8.
Arearegion=24π16π=8π\text{Area}_{\text{region}} = 24\pi - 16\pi = 8\pi, which means k=8k = 8.

Two commercial printing presses, Press A and Press B, operate at constant rates to print a total order of NN pages. Press A prints at a constant rate of xx pages per minute, while Press B prints at a constant rate that is 2525 pages per minute faster than Press A. Press A begins printing alone. After 2020 minutes, Press B is turned on, and both presses work simultaneously for an additional 3030 minutes. At that point, Press A stops, and Press B works alone for 1010 final minutes to complete the order. If Press B printed exactly 611\frac{6}{11} of the total number of pages in the order, what is the value of xx?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 50

Cevap

The value of xx is 50.
To find xx, calculate the total time each press operated. Press A ran for 20 minutes alone plus 30 minutes with Press B, giving 50 minutes total at xx pages per minute (50x50x pages). Press B ran for 30 minutes with Press A plus 10 minutes alone, giving 40 minutes total at (x+25)(x + 25) pages per minute (40x+100040x + 1000 pages). The total order size is N=90x+1000N = 90x + 1000. Setting Press B's output equal to 611N\frac{6}{11}N yields 40x+1000=611(90x+1000)40x + 1000 = \frac{6}{11}(90x + 1000). Multiplying both sides by 11 gives 440x+11000=540x+6000440x + 11000 = 540x + 6000, which simplifies to 100x=5000100x = 5000, giving x=50x = 50.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine total operating times and express pages printed by each press in terms of xx
Press A printed 50x50x pages; Press B printed 40(x+25)=40x+100040(x + 25) = 40x + 1000 pages.
Press A operated for 20 minutes alone plus 30 minutes together (50 minutes total). Press B operated for 30 minutes together plus 10 minutes alone (40 minutes total).
2
Write the expression for total pages NN
N=50x+(40x+1000)=90x+1000N = 50x + (40x + 1000) = 90x + 1000
The total pages in the order is the sum of the pages printed by Press A and Press B.
3
Formulate the linear equation in one variable using the given ratio
40x+1000=611(90x+1000)40x + 1000 = \frac{6}{11}(90x + 1000)
Press B printed exactly 611\frac{6}{11} of the total pages NN.
4
Solve the linear equation for xx
x=50x = 50
Multiplying both sides by 11 clears the fraction to give 440x+11000=540x+6000440x + 11000 = 540x + 6000, which simplifies to 100x=5000100x = 5000.

What value of xx satisfies the exponential equation 25x45x+1=12525^x - 4 \cdot 5^{x+1} = 125?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The correct answer is 22.
Rewriting 25x25^x as (5x)2(5^x)^2 and 45x+14 \cdot 5^{x+1} as 205x20 \cdot 5^x transforms the equation into (5x)220(5x)125=0(5^x)^2 - 20(5^x) - 125 = 0. Substituting u=5xu = 5^x produces u220u125=0u^2 - 20u - 125 = 0, which factors into (u25)(u+5)=0(u - 25)(u + 5) = 0. Because 5x5^x must be greater than zero for all real values of xx, u=5u = -5 yields no valid real solution. Thus, 5x=25=525^x = 25 = 5^2, giving x=2x = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert exponential expressions to a common base of 5.
25x=(52)x=(5x)225^x = (5^2)^x = (5^x)^2 and 45x+1=455x=205x4 \cdot 5^{x+1} = 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 5^x = 20 \cdot 5^x.
Applying exponent laws am+n=amana^{m+n} = a^m \cdot a^n and (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn} expresses terms in quadratic form with respect to 5x5^x.
2
Formulate and factor the quadratic equation in terms of u=5xu = 5^x.
u220u125=0    (u25)(u+5)=0u^2 - 20u - 125 = 0 \implies (u - 25)(u + 5) = 0, yielding u=25u = 25 or u=5u = -5.
The equation reduces to standard quadratic form, which factors easily.
3
Solve for xx while rejecting non-viable real roots.
5x=25=52    x=25^x = 25 = 5^2 \implies x = 2. 5x=55^x = -5 has no real solution.

Cevap: 129

Cevap

129 VIP tickets were sold.
Letting vv represent the number of VIP tickets sold, the number of standard tickets sold is 2v+122v + 12. Expressing the revenue condition yields the linear equation 45(2v+12)80v=183045(2v + 12) - 80v = 1830. Distributing 45 gives 90v+54080v=183090v + 540 - 80v = 1830. Combining like terms results in 10v+540=183010v + 540 = 1830. Subtracting 540 from both sides gives 10v=129010v = 1290, which yields v=129v = 129.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define the unknown variable
Let vv be the number of VIP tickets sold.
The question asks for the number of VIP tickets, making vv a direct choice for the variable.
2
Translate the relationship between ticket quantities into an algebraic expression
Standard tickets sold =2v+12= 2v + 12
'12 more than twice the number of VIP tickets' translates directly to 2v+122v + 12.
3
Formulate total revenue expressions and construct the single-variable linear equation
45(2v+12)80v=183045(2v + 12) - 80v = 1830
Total standard revenue minus total VIP revenue equals the given excess of $1,830\$1,830.
4
Distribute and combine like terms to solve for vv
90v+54080v=1830    10v+540=1830    10v=1290    v=12990v + 540 - 80v = 1830 \implies 10v + 540 = 1830 \implies 10v = 1290 \implies v = 129
Applying standard algebraic operations isolates vv on one side of the equation.
