Answer:

Charlotte's mix has a bluer shade of purple

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are asked whose paint is a bluer shade it would be easier to express the ratios of the paint mix as blue:red

Charlotte: 1 cup red for every 2 cups blue ==> 2 cups blue for every 1 cup red

This can be expressed as the ratio
[tex]\dfrac{ 2 \;blue}{1\;red} = \dfrac{2}{1} = 2[/tex]

[tex]-------------------[/tex]

Pablo : 2 cups red for every 3 cups blue ==> 3 cups blue for every 2 cups red

The ratio of blue to red
= [tex]\dfrac{3 \;blue}{2\;red} = \dfrac{3}{2} = 1\dfrac{1}{2} \;\; (or\; 1.5)[/tex]

Since
[tex]2 > 1\dfrac{1}{2} \;\;\;(or\; 2 > 1.5)[/tex]  

Charlotte's mix has a bluer shade of purple

The probability that the couple will have 3 normal girls is approximately 0.422

Since both parents are normal, they both have to be heterozygous carriers for the recessive allele that causes albinism. We can represent the normal allele with the letter N and the albino allele with the letter n. Then, we can write the genotypes of the parents as Nn x Nn.

The daughter is albino, so her genotype must be nn. The son is normal, so his genotype must be Nn.

We want to find the probability that the couple will have 3 normal girls. We can use the multiplication rule of probability to find this probability:

P(3 normal girls) = P(normal girl) x P(normal girl) x P(normal girl)

The probability of having a normal girl is 3/4 since there are three possible genotypes that result in a normal phenotype (NN, Nn, Nn) out of a total of four possible genotypes. The probability of having a normal boy is also 3/4, for the same reason.

Therefore, the probability of having 3 normal children (in this case, girls) is:

P(3 normal girls) = (3/4) x (3/4) x (3/4) = 27/64 ≈ 0.422

So, the probability that the couple will have 3 normal girls is approximately 0.422, or about 42.2%.

We conclude that the angle at the top measures 65.8°.

A right triangle or right-angled triangle, or more formally an orthogonal triangle, formerly called a rectangled triangle, is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle, i.e., in which two sides are perpendicular. The relation between the sides and other angles of the right triangle is the basis for trigonometry.

here, we have,

What angle does the top part?

The whole tree measures 117 ft, and it is broken 34 ft above the ground, forming this way a right triangle.

Then one cathetus of the right triangle measures 34ft, and the hypotenuse measures 117ft - 34ft = 83ft

The angle at the top is θ, the adjacent cathetus to it is the one that measures 34 ft, then to get the angle we can use the relation:

cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Replacing what we know, we get:

cos(θ) = (34 ft)/(83ft) = 34/83

Solving for θ, we get:

θ = Acos( 34/83) = 65.8°

So we conclude that the angle at the top measures 65.8°.

From the information given, we know:

a) Necklace requires 40 minutes to make.

Let x be the number of necklaces made, then the total time spent on necklaces is 40x.

b) Wristband requires 25 minutes to make.

Let y be the number of wristbands made, then the total time spent on wristbands is 25y.

c) Mack has a total of 360 minutes to make necklaces and wristbands. Therefore, the equation for time is:

40x + 25y = 360

d) Mack wants to make no more than 12 items, so we have the inequality:

x + y ≤ 12

e) Mack makes a profit of $3.00 per necklace and $2.00 per wristband. Therefore, the equation for profit is:

Profit = 3x + 2y

Now we have the following system of equations:

40x + 25y = 360

x + y ≤ 12

Profit = 3x + 2y

From equation (2), we have y = 12 - x.

Substitute y = 12 - x into equations (1) and (3):

40x + 25(12 - x) = 360

Profit = 3x + 2(12 - x)

Simplify and solve for x:

40x + 300 - 25x = 360

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the plane that passes through the line of intersection of the two planes and passes through the point (3,-1,2) is x - 2y + 7z - 17 = 0  .

The Plane we want to find passes through the line of intersection of the planes, so it is perpendicular to the normal vectors of both planes.

The Normal Vector of the plane 2x - 3y - z + 1 = 0 is (2, -3, -1), and

the normal vector of the plane 3x + 5y - 4z + 2 = 0 is (3, 5, -4).

The cross product of these two vectors gives a vector which is perpendicular to both of them, and

hence , it lies along the line of intersection of the two planes:

the cross product of (2, -3, -1) x (3, 5, -4) is  = (-7, -2, 1)  ;

The vector (-7, -2, 1) is the direction vector of the line of intersection.

Now to find the equation of the plane that passes through the point (3, -1, 2) and is perpendicular to this direction vector.

we let , equation of the plane be ax + by + cz + d = 0. We know that the point (3, -1, 2) lies on the plane, so we have:

⇒ a(3) + b(-1) + c(2) + d = 0  ;

⇒ 3a - b + 2c + d = 0  ;

We also know that the plane is perpendicular to the direction vector (-7, -2, 1), so we have:

⇒ a(-7) + b(-2) + c(1) = 0  ;

⇒ -7a - 2b + c = 0  ;

Let  say a = 1. Then we have :

⇒ a = 1

⇒ -7a - 2b + c = 0

⇒ 3a - b + 2c + d = 0

Substituting a = 1 into the first equation gives:

⇒ -7 - 2b + c = 0  ;

Solving for c in terms of b gives:

⇒ c = 2b + 7

Simplifying ,

we get ;

⇒ 3 - b + 2(2b + 7) + d = 0  ;

Solving for d in terms of b gives:   ⇒ d = -2b - 17  ;

The quotient is x² - 3 - 4 and remainder is 1.

So, The value of f (3) is, 1

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The value of f(3) is told by the remainder theorem to be the remainder from division of f(x) by (x -3). That division is shown in the attachment. The remainder is 1, hence we have;

⇒ f(3) = 1

The number at upper left in the synthetic division table is the value of x for which we are evaluating f(x).

When the polynomial is written in Horner Form:

⇒ f(x) = ((x -6)x +13)x -11

Here, the coefficient of x at each point in the evaluation is the same as the number on the bottom row of the synthetic division. The result of the evaluation is the same as the remainder from the division.

Now, Add the obtained result to the next coefficient of the dividend and write down the sum as;

There is a probability of 98.1% or around 0.98 of making at least one shot.

We can solve this problem using the binomial distribution. Let X be the number of shots the basketball player makes out of 6 attempts. Then X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 6 (number of trials) and p = 0.553 (probability of success).

The probability of making at least one shot can be calculated as the complement of the probability of missing all six shots. That is:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

Using the binomial probability formula, we can calculate P(X = 0) as:

P(X = 0) = (6 choose 0) * (0.553)^0 * (1 - 0.553)^(6-0) = 0.019

where (6 choose 0) = 1 is the number of ways to choose 0 shots out of 6.

Therefore,

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.019 = 0.981

So the probability of making at least one shot is approximately 0.981 or 98.1%.

The speed is constant, so we can find it by dividing the distance by the time for the first trip:

speed = distance ÷ time = 372 miles ÷ 6 hours = 62 miles/hour

Now we can use the speed to find the time it will take to travel 279 miles:

b. -7i- 6j -2k: This vector is parallel to z because it has the opposite direction.

c. 14i +16j+ 6k: This vector is not parallel to z because it has a different direction.

d. -14i -16j + 6k: This vector is parallel to z because it has the opposite direction.

e. i + 4j - 2k: This vector is not parallel to z because it has a different direction.

f. i - 4j + 2k: This vector is not parallel to z because it has a different direction.

Therefore, the vectors that are parallel to z are b. -7i - 6j - 2k and d. -14i - 16j + 6k.

To confirm these results using a graphing utility, we can plot z and each of the given vectors on a 3D coordinate system and visually check their directions.

Here is an example using Wolfram Alpha:

vectorplot3d {<-7, -8, 3>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<7, 6, 2>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<-7, -6, -2>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<14, 16, 6>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<-14, -16, 6>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<1, 4, -2>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

vectorplot3d {<1, -4, 2>, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}}

This will generate a 3D plot with all the vectors plotted. We can see that only the vectors with opposite directions to z, namely -7i - 6j - 2k and -14i - 16j + 6k, are parallel to z.

The effect on the graph for the given function if the slope of the function is changed to -10 include the following: D. the line is less steep.

The effect on the graph for the given function if the y-intercept of the function is changed to a smaller positive number is: C. the line shifts down.

In Mathematics, a slope is sometimes referred to as rate of change and it is typically used to describe both the direction, ratio, and steepness of the function of a straight line based on its coordinates or points.

Generally speaking, a slope simply refers to a measure of the steepness of a straight line. This ultimately implies that, the higher the slope of a line, the more steep it is and vice-versa.

Based on the information provided about this function y = 8 - 2x, we can logically deduce that the line would be shifted downward when its y-intercept is changed to a smaller positive number.
