Answer:

[tex]\sf Equation: \quad \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x+3}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

The number is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number.

The reciprocal of a fraction is where the numerator and denominator are swapped (so the fraction is turned upside down).

Let x be the positive number.

The reciprocal of the positive number x:

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

The reciprocal of 3 more than the number x:

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{1}{x+3}[/tex]

The sum of the reciprocal of a positive number and the reciprocal of 3 more than the number is 7/10:

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x+3}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

To solve, make the denominators of the two fractions on the left side the same by multiplying them.

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction to get the new numerator of the first fraction.

Multiply the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction to get the new numerator of the second fraction.

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1(x+3)}{x(x+3)}+\dfrac{1(x)}{(x+3)(x)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{x+3}{x(x+3)}+\dfrac{x}{x(x+3)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Add the numerators and keep the denominator so that there is now one fraction:

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{2x+3}{x(x+3)}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]\implies \sf 10(2x+3)=7x(x+3)[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\implies \sf 20x+30=7x^2+21x[/tex]

Rearrange so the equation is equal to zero:

[tex]\implies \sf 7x^2+x-30=0[/tex]

Split the middle term:

[tex]\implies \sf 7x^2+15x-14x-30=0[/tex]

Factor the first two terms and last two terms separately:

[tex]\implies \sf x(7x+15)-2(7x+15)=0[/tex]

Factor out the common term (7x + 15):

[tex]\implies \sf (x-2)(7x+15)=0[/tex]

Apply the zero product property:

[tex]\sf (x-2)=0 \implies x=2[/tex]

[tex]\sf (7x+15)=0 \implies x=-\dfrac{15}{7}[/tex]

As x is a positive number, x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time restriction faced by ABC Corporation for it to buy back its newly issued shares is 4 weeks

What is share buyback?

Share buyback means that the company would repurchase its own shares in the stock market by paying investors holding the shares, then reduce its number of shares outstanding by the number of shares bought back.

The shares repurchased are known as Treasury stocks, which are held until the company decides to reissue them or cancel them.

The restriction placed on a company before it can repurchase its shares is that the shares must be in issue 4 weeks, in other words, the new issued shares through Initial Public Offer(IPO) must be existence for 4 weeks before being repurchased by the company after having issued an IPO.

Answer:

x = 20°

f = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5x = 180°

because a straight line is 180°

so 9x = 180°

1x = 180 ÷ 9

1x = 20

all angles in a triangle add together is 180°

so 7x + f = 180°

1x = 20

7x = 20 × 7

7x = 140°

f = 180° - 140 °

f = 40°

Answer:

x = 20 , f = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

4x and 5x are a linear pair and sum to 180° , then

4x + 5x = 180

9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 20

then

5x = 5 × 20 = 100° and 3x = 3 × 20 = 60°

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

5x is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

f + 3x = 5x , that is

f + 60 = 100 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

f = 40

The probability that Ron will get by a pitch exactly once is 0.351912.

Given that out of 596 plate appearance Ron was hit 19 times from pitches.

We have to find the probability that ron was hit by pitches in 22 plate appearances.

The value of probability lies between 0 and 1. The formula of calculating proabability is number of items/ total items.

We can find the required probability through binomial distribution which is

n[tex]C_{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r}[/tex] where n is the number of trials and r is the successes.

Probability that Ron will be hit =19/596

Calculation for the average rainfall-

The average rainfall (in inches) in Miami for 5 months are-

1.61, 2.24, 2.99, 3.15, 5.35, and 9.68,

Thus, the total rainfall in Miami in 5 months,

Total average rainfall = 1.61 +2.24 +2.99 +3.15 +5.35 + 9.68 = 25.02 inches

Similarly,

The average rainfall (in inches) in Tampa for 5 months are-

2.24, 2.8, 3.03, 2.05, 2.09, and 6.69.

Thus, the total rainfall in Tampa in 5 months,

Total average rainfall = 2.24 +2.8 +3.03 + 2.05 + 2.09 + 6.69 = 18.9 inches.

The difference between the total rainfall in Miami and Tampa is

25.02 - 18.9 = 6.12 inches

The total rainfall in Miami is 25.02 inches while the total rainfall in Tampa in the same time period is 18.9 inches.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 5x² - 6x - 2 = 0

a = Coefficient of x² = 5

b = coefficient of x = -6

c = constant = -2

Discriminant = D = b² - 4ac

                           = (-6)² - 4 * 5 * (-2)

                           = 36 +  40

                           = 76  > 0

So, the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots.

x = 1.47  or x = -0.27

Answer: x = 1.5 or (-0.3)

b) x² + 3x = 40

x² + 3x - 40= 0

We can solve the quadratic equation using factor method.

Sum = 3

Product = -40

Factors = 8 , (-5)

 When we add, 8 + (-5) = 3 , we get 5and when we multiply 8 *(-5) = -40, we get -(-40).

Rewrite the middle term of the quadratic equation using the factors.

 x² + 8x - 5x - 40 = 0

x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8)= 0

 (x + 8) (x - 5)    = 0

 x + 8 = 0   or x - 5 = 0

     x = -8   or       x = 5

Option A is correct. If segment DC bisects segment AB, then point D is equidistant from points A and B because a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment it intersects. This can be obtained using perpendicular bisector theorem.

Perpendicular bisector theorem : In a plane, if we choose a point, say D, on the perpendicular bisector,say PQ, drawn from segment, say AB, then the point D is equidistant from the endpoints, that is A and B, of the segment.

That is, perpendicular bisector PQ of line segment AB is the line with         Q = 90° and Q is the midpoint of AB ⇒ AQ = BQ. A point on PQ say D is equidistant from A and B ⇒AD and BD.

Thus in the given question we can use perpendicular bisector theorem.

Here DC is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB and therefore AD and BD are equal.

Hence it is clear that Option A is correct.
