Answer to Problem 1PE

Solution:

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a constant term.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the coefficient.

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is 1 , and the exponent is 1.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called liketerms.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a ______ term.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the ______

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is ______, and the exponent is ______.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called ______ terms.

Calculation:

To fill the given blanks with appropriate words, we will use below concepts:

A term is a constant or the product of a constant and one or more variables. For example, in the expression 7x2+2xy+5 , 7x2,2xy&5 are terms.

The terms 7x2,2xy are variables terms whereas 5 is a constant.

The constant factor in a term is called coefficient of the term.

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Only the numerical coefficients are different. In an expression, only like terms can be combined.

Basis the above concepts, we can fill the blanks with appropriate word.

  (a) Given the expression 8x+cd3y+90 , the terms 8x,cdand3y are variable terms, whereas 90 is a constantterm.

  (b) The constant factor in a term is called the coefficient

  (c) Given the expression x , the value of the coefficient is 1 , and the exponent is 1.

  (d) Terms that have the same variables, with corresponding variables raised to the same powers are called liketerms.

Conclusion:

Basis the concepts of terms, factors and the coefficient, we could fill the blanks.

A professor gives two types of quizzes, objective and recall. He plans to give at least 15 quizzes this quarter. The student preparation time for an objective quiz is 15 minutes and for a recall quiz 30 minutes. The professor would like a student to spend at least 5 hours total (300 minutes) preparing for these quizzes. It takes the professor 1 minute to grade an objective quiz, and 1.5 minutes to grade a recall type quiz. How many of each type of quiz should the professor give in order to minimize his grading time (why still meeting the other requirements outlined)?

Instructions: Answer each question showing all work. 1. Out of 30 animals at a veterinarian clinic, 8 cats and 4 dogs have been vaccinated. 6 cats and 12 dogs are not yet vaccinated. Create a two-way frequency table to represent the data. 2. Convert the table from number 1 into a two-way relative frequency table. Instructions: Based on the tables created in questions 1 and 2 above, answer questions 3-7. 3. What percentage of cats from the total animals are vaccinated? 4. What is the relative frequency of dogs from the total animals that are not yet vaccinated? 5. What is the conditional frequency of cats that have not been vaccinated? 6. What is the marginal frequency of the total number of animals vaccinated? 7. What is the joint frequency of the cats that are vaccinated?
