Answer:

together they rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves in one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maya takes x minutes to rake, then in one minute, she rakes \frac{1}{x} leaves.

For Carla, if her raking takes y minutes, in one minute she rakes \frac{1}{y} leaves.

Thus, to find the amount they work together in one minute, we add both of their contributions for that minute, resulting in: \frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y}

Finally, simplifying this expression gives:

\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{y+x}{xy}

As a result, they collectively rake \frac{y+x}{xy} leaves in a minute.

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 20002000 cans for recycling. Abha collected
tester [8842]

Shane and Abha received a team badge for gathering at least 2000 cans for recycling.

This indicates that their collection must total a minimum of 2000 cans.

Abha managed to collect 178 more cans than Shane.

Let’s denote the number of cans Shane collected as S

So, Abha collected = S + 178

The inequality representing the number of cans collected by Shane can be expressed as:

S+S+178\geq 2000

= 2S+178\geq 2000

2S\geq 2000-178

2S\geq 1822

S\geq 911

Trapezoid STUV with vertices S(-3,6),T(0,7),U(1,4),and V(-5,2): (x,y)>(x+7,y-9)​
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

Please refer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points:

  • S(-3,6),T(0,7),U(1,4),and V(-5,2)

Translation rule:

  • (x,y) → (x+7,y-9)

New coordinates after applying the rule:

  • S'(4, -3), T'(7, -2), U'(8, -5), V'(2, -7)

For the graph, see attached.

The trapezoid highlighted in blue is STUV while the red trapezoid is S'T'U'V'

If m∠1= (7x –19)°, and m∠2 = (x + 5)°, find m∠2.
babunello [8412]

Given :

∠m1 = ( 7x - 19 )°.

∠m2 = ( x + 5 )°.

To Find :

The value of x .

Solution :

As the relationship between angle ∠m1 and ∠m2 isn't specified,

let's presuppose that the sum of ∠m1 and ∠m2 equals 180°.

Thus,

(7x-19)+(x+5)=180^{\circ}\\\\8x-14=180\\\\8x=194\\\\x=24.25^{o}

Angle ∠m2 = (24.25 + 5 )° = 29.25°.

Consequently, ∠m2 is 29.25°.

Hence, this solution meets the requirements.

isco Fever is randomly found in one half of one percent of the general population. Testing a swatch of clothing for the presence
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer:

0.8894 represents the likelihood of a negative test result given that the disease is present.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided the following in the question:

P(Disco Fever) = P( Disease) =

P(D) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\% = 0.5 \times 0.01 = 0.005

Thus, we can express:

P(No  Disease) =

P(ND) =1 - P(D)= 0.995

P(Test Returns Positive with disease present) = 0.99

P(TP | D ) = 0.99

P( false-positive) = 4%

P( TP | ND) = 0.04

We need to assess the likelihood of a negative test result when the disease is indeed present, i.e.,

P(test result being negative while disease is present)

According to Bayes's theorem, we can write:

P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{P(ND)P(TP|ND)}{P(ND)P(TP|ND) + P(D)P(TP|D)}\\\\P(ND|TP) = \dfrac{0.995(0.04)}{0.995(0.04) + 0.005(0.99)} = 0.8894

0.8894 is the probability that the test result returns negative when the disease exists.
