Here is a scenario that came up in the nationally syndicated column called "Ask Marilyn" in Parade Magazine. Suppose a certain d

rug test is 95% accurate, meaning that if a person is a user, the result is positive 95% of the time, and if she or he isn't a user, it's negative 95% of the time. Assume that 5% of all people are drug users.

Jason solved the following equation to find the value for x. –8.5x – 3.5x = –78 x = 6.5 Describe how Jason can check his answer.
Inessa [9000]
Jason can confirm the accuracy of his solution by substituting the calculated x value back into the original equation to check if it holds true. If the equality fails, it indicates that his calculated x is incorrect.

Given the values of the linear functions f (x) and g(x) in the tables, where is (f – g)(x) positive?
zzz [9080]

Upon reviewing the functions based on the tables, it is determined that (f - g)(x) is positive in the range of (–∞, 9).----------------------

For the
  • subtractive
  • function, we simply subtract the two functions, leading to:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

It retains a
  • positive
  • value when f is greater than g, which means: f(x) > g(x).Being a linear function, one will be greater prior to the equality, while the other will take precedence afterward.
  • They intersect at x = 9.
  • If x < 9, then f(x) is greater than g(x), thus, (f - g)(x) remains positive, which indicates that the
  • required interval is:(–∞, 9)

Water is poured into a conical paper cup at the rate of 3/2 in3/sec (similar to Example 4 in Section 3.7). If the cup is 6 inche
tester [8842]

Response:

The height of the water when it reaches 4 inches is \frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s.

Detailed Explanation:

Flow rate of water from the cone = R=\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s

Height of the cup = h = 6 inches

Radius of the cup = r = 3 inches

\frac{r}{h}=\frac{3 inch}{6 inch}=\frac{1}{2}

r = h/2

Volume of the cone = V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{2})^2h)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3\times 4}\pi \times \frac{d(h^3)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

h = 4 inches

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3\times (4inches )^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\pi\times 4\times \frac{dh}{dt} inches^2

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s

The height of the water when it is 4 inches deep is \frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s.

The local skating rink pays marry a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. she earns $90 for i
Inessa [9000]
Begin by creating a system of equations: let 'a' represent the amount Mary earns per student, and 'b' denote her fixed amount. The equations are 90=15a+b (subtracting the lower from the upper equation) and 62=8a+b. From these, we have 90-62=28, leading to 15a-8a=7a, and b cancels itself out. This gives us 7a=28, resulting in a=4. Substituting 'a' into 62=8a+b reveals b=30. Since Lisa earns half of Mary's base, her fixed amount is 15, but she makes twice as much per student, bringing her rate to 8 per student. Thus, we can formulate: m=4c+30 for Mary's earnings, and l=8c+15 for Lisa's. Setting c=20 results in m=110 and l=175, showing that Lisa makes more when teaching a class of 20 students. I trust this information helps.

56. Mikayla is filling a glass sphere with water.
Inessa [9000]

Answer:

The least quantity of water needed to fill the sphere is 904.32\ in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

The volume of the sphere (the glass sphere) can be defined as

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

We have

r=12/2=6\ in ----> the radius equals half the diameter

Let’s assume

\pi =3.14

Now substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(6)^{3}

V=904.32\ in^{3}
