(1) In the 1970’s the popular advice columnist Ann Landers published a letter from a young couple about to be married. The letter said, “so many of our friends seem to resent their children. They envy us and our freedom to go and come as we please. Then there’s the matter of money. They say their kids keep them broke. Will you please ask your readers the question: 'If you had it to do over again – would you have children?' ” Nearly 10,000 of her readers responded. 70% said “no.” (2) The Good Housekeeping magazine published the results of the poll with a sidebar that said, “All of us at Good Housekeeping know that no mother will be able to read Ann Landers’ report without passionately agreeing or disagreeing.

We will determine how to evaluate the side length of a square given its area.

A square is a four sided 2D planar figure with all its sides at right angles and equal in magnitude as follows:

The side a square are all equal and will be denoted by a variable as follows:

We will now express the Area of the square in terms of its side length using the basic definition as follows:

We will now express the above in terms of the side length variable ( x ) as follows:

We are given that Natasha's garden has the following area:

Now we will equate the result of area of a square with the side length ( x ) terms as follows:

Evaluate(solve) the above the equation for the variable ( x ) by taking a square root on both sides of the equation as follows:

For practical sense, the variable ( x ) denotes the magnitude of the side length of the square which can not be negative. Hence, we have only solution for the side length ( x ) as follows:

Using linear functions, it is found that:

a) The expression to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is: y = 5x/9 - 160/9.

b) The inverse expression is: y = 9x/5 + 32.

The slope-intercept representation of a linear function is given as follows:

y = mx + b

The coefficients of the function are described as follows:

For the conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius, we have two points, as follows:

(32,0), (68, 20).

When the input increases by 36, the output increases by 20, hence the slope is calculated as follows:

m = 20/36 = 5/9

Hence:

y = 5/9x + b.

When x = 32, y = 0, hence the intercept b is calculated as follows:

0 = 5/9(32) + b

b = -5 x 32/9

b = -160/9

Hence the equation is:

y = 5/9x - 160/9.

To find the inverse expression, we exchange x and y and then isolate y, as follows:

x = 5/9y - 160/9.

5/9y = x + 160/9

5y = 9x + 160

y = 9x/5 + 32.

Given:

an equation is given as y = -8.

Find:

we have to find an equation parallel to the given equation and passing through (-6, -7).

Explanation:

Compare the given equation with y = mx + b,

we find that slope ,m = 0 ,

the equation of the line passing through (-6,-7) is

y - (-7) = m( x - (-6))

y + 7 = 0(x + 6)

y + 7 = 0

y = -7

Therefore, y = -7 is an equation which is parallel to y = -8 and passing through ( -6, -7).

The graph of both y = -8 and its parallel equation y = -7 which passes through (-6, -7) is given as below

Red line represents the equation y = -8

and blue line represents the equation y = -7 passes through the point (-6,-7).

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to y = -8 and passing through (-6,-7) is y = -7.

The given equation is

Describe algebra.

Algebra is one of the numerous subfields of mathematics. The study of mathematical symbols and the rules for employing them in formulas is commonly referred to as algebra, which runs across almost all of mathematics.

S represents the senior citizen ticket cost.

C is the child's ticket cost.

Price is expressed as USD per ticket.

8S + 15C = 266

8S + 8C = 168

Subtract both equations now to get rid of S

8S + 15C = 266

8S + 8C = 168

———————————-

7C = 98

C = 98/7

C = $14

Changing the value of C in the first

8S + 15(14) = 266

8S + 210 = 266

8S = 266 - 210

8S = 56

S = 56 / 8

S = $7

Hence, $7 is the price for senior citizen

The quadratic equation that has roots √3 + 1 / 2 and √3 - 1 / 2 and a leading coefficient of 9 is y = 9 · x² - 18√3 · x + 99 / 4.

In this problem we must determine the quadratic equation such that its roots are √3 + 1 / 2 and √3 - 1 / 2 and whose leading coefficient is equal to 9. This can be found by substituting on factor form:

y = a · (x - r₁) · (x - r₂)

Where:

If we know that r₁ = √3 + 1 / 2, r₂ = √3 - 1 / 2 and a = 9, then the quadratic equation is:

y = 9 · (x - √3 - 1 / 2) · (x - √3 + 1 / 2)

y = 9 · [x² - (√3 - 1 / 2) · x - (√3 + 1 / 2) · x + 3 - 1 / 4]

y = 9 · (x² - 2√3 · x + 11 / 4)

y = 9 · x² - 18√3 · x + 99 / 4

The quadratic equation is y = 9 · x² - 18√3 · x + 99 / 4.

The segment RS has a length of 9 units

From the question, the partition of the line segment is given as

RS : ST : TU = 1 : 1 : 4

Where the endpoints of the line segments are R and U

This means that the length RS can be calculated using the following equation

Length RS = Ratio of RS/Sum of the ratios x The length of RU

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have

Length RS = 1/(1 + 1 + 4) x 54

The distance between the two given points X(-3,3) and Z(4,4) in the given cartesian plane is XZ = √50 = 7.07 units.

As per the question statement, we are supposed to calculate the distance between the two given points X(-3,3) and Z(4,4) in the given cartesian plane. We know that the distance between any two points in the plane is given by:

d=√((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²), where "d" is the distance between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). Using this formula to find the distance between the two given points X(-3,3) and Z(4,4).

XZ = √((4 +3)² + (4 – 3)²)

XZ = √((7)²+ (1)²)

XZ = √(50)

XZ = 7.07 units

Using the concept of volume, 700 milliliters of Solution B was used.

Each thing in three dimensions takes up some space. The volume of this area is what is being measured. The space occupied within an object's borders in three dimensions is referred to as its volume. It is sometimes referred to as the object's capacity.

When dealing with unknowns, the first step is to represent the unknowns using variables, draw up equations based on the available data, and then solve those equations to account for the unknowns.

Volumes of solutions A and B are here which is unknown.

Put these factors in place for us

Let x = the amount of solution A that was mixed in milliliters.

Let y= the amount of solution B that was mixed in milliliters.

The amount of volume utilized for A is 400 ml less than the amount used

for B.

This can be expressed mathematically as y - x = 400.

Or,

- x + y = 400 [1]

The ratios of alcohol in A and B are provided to us.

A contains 12% alcohol, hence its real alcohol content is 12% of x ml.

= 0.12x (12% = 12/100 = 0.12)

Similar to A, B has an alcohol content of 0.20x.

If x of A and y of B are combined, the total alcohol by volume is 0.12x + 0.20y.

and it is said that this amount is 176 ml.

Our second equation is therefore set up as 0.12x + 0.20y = 176 [2].

We create an equation containing only the other term by using both equations and removing either the x or y terms.

We should remove the x term from both equations to create a single equation that just contains the y term because the question only asks us to compute the volume of Solution B that was used.

Review the equations now:

- x + y = 400 [1]

0.12x + 0.20y = 176 [2]

x's coefficients should all be the same:

Increase [1] by 0.12

=> -0.12x + 0.12y =

= 0.12 x 400

=> 0.12x + 0.12y = 48 [3]

By adding [2] and [3], the x word is removed.

0.12x + 0.20y = 176+( -0.12x) + 0.12y = 48

0x + 0.32 y = 224

=> 0,32y = 224

Subtract 0.32 from both sides to get[tex]\frac{0.32y}{0.32}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{224}{0.32}[/tex]

==> y = 700

Therefore, 700 cc of Solution B was utilized.

The profit of the store is represented by the quadratic formula:

Where

P is the profit

x is the number of videos rented

The coefficients of the parabola are:

a= -1 (coefficient of the quadratic term)

b= 90 (coefficient of the x-term)

c=52 (constant)

The value of a is negative, which indicates that the parabola opens downwards and that its maximum value is represented by the vertex.

To determine the maximum profit, you have to determine the coordinates of the vertex.

First, calculate the x-coordinate of the vertex, to do so you have to use the following formula:

Replace it with the values of the coefficients a=-1 and b=90

Second, replace x=45 in the equation to determine the y-coordinate of the vertex:

The y-coordinate of the vertex represents the maximum profit.
