Quantitative variables provide numerical measures that can be added/subtracted with meaningful results.

Discrete variables are quantitative and have a finite or countable number of positive values.

Continuous variables are quantitative and have an infinite number of possible values that are not countable and also measure with some sort of scale that uses numbers.

Qualitative variables allow for the classification of individuals based on some attribute or characteristic and also provide numerical measures of individuals.

Arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction can be performed on the values of a quantitative variable and will provide meaningful results.

To solve the triangle, or identify unknown portions in terms of known portions, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem and the properties of sines, cosines, and tangents.

Pythagorean theorem: a2 + b2 = c2.

Sine: sin A=a/c, sin B=b/c.

Cosines: cos A = b/c, cos B = a/c.

Identity based on trigonometry

cos x sin (90-x)

therefore, if we have

(4x plus 10) o = Cos (6x)

(4x plus 10) o = Sin (90- 6x)

4x + 10 = 90 - 6x

Ariana earned $708 in 24 hours, so $312 more Ariana earn per hour than Jacob.

We have to find how much more Ariana earn per hour than Jacob.

The equation y = 16.5x represents Jacob's earnings in dollars and cents, y, for working x hours.

Ariana earned $708 in 24 hours.

So the value of x = 24

Now putting the value of x in equation y = 16.5x

y = 16.5 × 24

y = 396

Jacob's earnings = $396

Difference between the Ariana earning and Jacob earning = $708 - $396

The inequality that is modeled by the graph is 2x + 5y ≥ 14; x ≥ 0

This inequality corresponds to the solid line that passes through the ordered pairs (0,3) and (7,0). The line has a slope of -2/5, and it can be written in the form y = (-2/5)x + b, where b is the y-intercept, and it can be calculated as b = (5/2)x + 14. The shading is below the line and in the first and fourth quadrants, which corresponds to the inequality 2x + 5y ≥ 14; x ≥ 0.

The other inequalities provided in the options do not correspond to the graph:

   2x + 5y ≤ 14; x ≥ 0, the shading is above the line

   2x − 5y ≤ 14; x ≥ 0, the slope is positive and the shading is above the line

First picture in Pair 2 is Respiratory system, which its function is to breathe. Second picture in Pair 2 is Digestive system, which its function is to break down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air, and also gets rid of carbon dioxide. The digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food we consume.

The respiratory system is mainly used to transport air, whilst the digestive system is used to transport fluids and solids, from water and food we eat. The respiratory and the digestive systems share the area of the mouth and upper throat, in which air, fluids, and solids can be mixed.

The initial battery charge was of:

19%.

The time it takes for the battery to be full is of:

32.4 minutes.

The linear function in slope-intercept format is given as follows:

y = mx + b

In which:

Each minute , the percentage of battery’s capacity that was charged increased by 2.5 percent, hence the slope m is given as follows:

m = 2.5.

Hence:

y = 2.5x + b.

After 17 minutes of charging the battery was 61.5 percent full, hence when x = 17, y = 61.5, and the intercept b is obtained as follows:

61.5 = 2.5(17) + b

b = 61.5 - 2.5 x 17

b = 19.

The battery is fully charged when y = 100, hence the time is obtained as follows:

2.5x + 19 = 100

2.5x = 81

x = 81/2.5

x = 32.4 minutes.

Answer: To find the time it takes for the toy boat to bob down from its peak to a height of -35 cm, we need to find the value of t when H(t) = -35.

So, we can substitute -35 for H(t) in the given equation:

5 cos (2π/3t) - 35.5 = -35

Now we can solve for t by isolating it on one side of the equation:

5 cos (2π/3t) = 0.5

cos (2π/3t) = 0.1

2π/3t = cos^-1(0.1)

3t = 2π * cos^-1(0.1)/π

t = 2 * cos^-1(0.1)

The time it takes for the toy boat to bob down from its peak to a height of -35 cm is approximately 2 * cos^-1(0.1) seconds.

She earned $12 at 4% interest rate. The solution has been obtained by using simple interest.

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is the cost of borrowing that is computed using the original principal amount alone and a constant interest rate.

We are given that Lauren deposited $300 to start her savings account and after one year, she had $312 in her account.

This means that the difference between both the amounts is the interest because it is mentioned that she did not deposit or withdraw any money that year.

So, the interest is $12.

The rate of interest is found using simple interest

⇒S = p*r*t

⇒12 = 300*r*1

⇒0.04 = r

This means that interest rate is 4%.

Hence, she earned $12 at 4% interest rate.

Answer:

x = 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

→ Sum of sides of triangle = 180°

Forming the equation,

→ 39° + 102° + x = 180°

Now the value of x will be,

→ 39° + 102° + x = 180°

→ 141° + x = 180°

→ x = 180° - 141°

→ [ x = 39° ]

Hence, the value of x is 39°.
