a 25-foot wire is to be cut so that the longer piece is one foot longer than 5 times the shorter peice . find the length of each peice

Answers

Answer 1

short piece = x

 long piece = 5x +1

x +5x +1 = 25

6x = 24

x = 24/6 = 4

 short piece = 4 feet

long piece = 21 feet

Answer 2
25 = L + S where L is longer piece and S is shorter piece
L = 5S + 1
Then 25 = 5S + 1 + S
         25 = 6S + 1
         24 = 6S
           S = 4
           L = 21

What radius of a circle is required to inscribe a regular hexagon with an area of 210.44 cm2 and an apothem of 7.794 cm?

Answers

[tex]\bf \textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}ap\quad \begin{cases} a=apothem\\ p=perimeter\\ -------\\ a=7.794\\ A=210.44 \end{cases}\implies 210.44=\cfrac{1}{2}(7.794)p \\\\\\ 420.88=7.794p\implies \cfrac{420.88}{7.794}=p\implies 54\approx p \\\\\\ \textit{a \underline{hexa}gon has 6 sides, so }\cfrac{54}{6}\implies \stackrel{\textit{length of one side}}{9}[/tex]

so.. now, if we know one side is of 9 units long... ok, bear in mind that a regular hexagon, splits the center of the circumscribing circle in 6 even angles, that'd be 60° each, if you run a bisector from that angle, it'd split into two 30° angles, check the picture below.

So it ends with a 30-60-90 triangle with one side being just half of the 9 units, and we can just use the 30-60-90 rule to get the radius itself, which is just one of the sides of the 30-60-90 triangle.

If the elevator rises at a rate of 2 meters per second, how long, in seconds, could a person ride the elevator when starting from the lowest level? Assume the elevator makes no extra stop.

Answers

15 +51 = 66 meters total

66 /2 = 33 seconds

The person will reach to the seventeenth in 33 seconds.

Given that,
The lowest parking level is 15 meters below street level, and the seventeenth story is 51 meters above street level.
To determine how long, in seconds, could a person ride the elevator when starting from the lowest level.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as when an object is in motion, the distance covered by that object per unit of time is called speed.

Here,
Total height to cover = height of lowest parking to street level + height of 17 stories from street level.
Total height = 15 + 51
Total height = 66 meters
Time to reach to the 17th story
Speed = distance / time

what is The cost per unit?

Answers

The cost per unit is the total expenditure incurred by a company to produce, store and sell one unit of a particular product or service. Unit costs include all fixed costs, and all variable costs, involved in production.

To figure your total manufacturing cost per unit, divide your total costs by the total number of units produced. For example, say for the year your company made 1 million units and incurred production costs of $3 million. Divide your $3 million costs by the 1 million units to find your cost per unit: $3.

The total displacement east is:

The magnitude of the total displacement is: 
sqrt(25.607^2 + 10.607^2)

Its direction is N x E where:

Answers

The given equation is
2x⁴ - 5x³ + 10 = 0

Because this is a 4th degree polynomial, there are 4 possible real and complex roots.

Let f(x) = 2x⁴ - 5x³ + 10
Apply Descartes' Rule of signs.
There are 2 sign changes, so there are 2 possible positive real roots.

f(-x) = 2x⁴ + 5x³ + 10
There are no sign changes, so there are no negative real roots.

This means that
(a) There are possibly 2 real positive roots, and a conjugate pair of  2 complex roots;
(b) 0 real roots, and 2 pairs of 4 complex roots.

Of the given answers, only C. can be correct.
Note that complex roots always occur as conjugate pairs, so A and B are incorrect.

ymnast Clothing manufactures expensive soccer cleats for sale to college bookstores in runs of up to 500. Its cost (in dollars) for a run of x pairs of cleats is
C(x) = 3250 + 5x + 0.1x2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 500).
Gymnast Clothing sells the cleats at $110 per pair. Find the revenue and profit functions. How many should Gymnast Clothing manufacture to make a profit?

Answers

The relationship between profit and revenue is:

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost
Since the cost is given as a function, the equation will be substituted as
Profit = Revenue - (3,250 + 5x + 0.1x²)

Now, the revenue is a linear graph because it is the number of pairs multiplied the fixed rate. So, the slope is constant. 
Revenue = 110x --> this is the function for revenue
Thus, the equation for profit would be

Profit = 110x - 3,250 - 5x - 0.1x²
P = -0.1x²+105x-3,250  --> this is the function for profit

Now, to find the minimum value of x to make profit, differentiate P with respect to x and equate to 0.

dP/dx = 0 = -0.2x + 105
x = 525

Thus, the Gymnast Clothing should manufacture at least 525 pairs in order to make profit.

An oil storage tank is a cylinder 30 feet high. The base of the tank is a circle with a diameter of 50 feet. When full, how many gallons are in the tank? 1 gallon equals approximately 0.13 cubic feet.How many gallons are in the tank?

Answers


 suppose you wanted the tank to hold 100 gallons of water and it was 50 gallons per cubic feet. How many cubic feet would you need? Obviously, 2 cubic feet. How did you get that?? Well, you divided 100 by 50 to get 2.

O.K., now, let's try YOUR problem. 225000 gallons and 7.5 gallons per cubic feet. How many cubic feet do you need? Must be 225,000/7.5 = 30,000 cubic feet

O.K., now we're half way there. we (should) know that the volume of a prism is

l x w x h. We now know the volume must also be 30,000

so l x w x h = 30000
100 x 20 x h = 30000

you should be able to take it from there.

Problem #2

We approach it the exact same way.

It's too hard as stated. Let's make up an easier problem.

suppose 1 gallon took up 5 cubic feet. If you had 10 cubic feet, how many gallons would you have?
well, clearly, you would have 2 gallons. How did you get it?

Now, how many cubic feet in the cylinder? Well you (should) know that the volume of a cylinder is:

Pi r^2h = 3.14 x 25^2 h = 1962.5 h

Now we have a bit of a problem. You didn't tell me how high the tank is. Let us say it is 10 feet.

So, the tank had 19,625 cubic feet.

Go back to the start of this problem and you will know what to do next.

Answer: 7653.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Height of cylinder = 30 feet

Diameter : d= 50 feet

Radius : [tex]r=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{50}{2}=25\text{ feet}[/tex]

The volume of a cylinder is given by :-

[tex]V=\pi r^2 h\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=(3.14)(25)^2(30)\text{ cubic feet}[/tex]

Also, 1 gallon equals approximately 0.13 cubic feet.

Then , the number of gallons of water in the tank :-

[tex]V=(3.14)(25)^2(30)(0.13)=7653.75\text{ gallons}[/tex]

Find a parametric representation of the solution set of the linear equation. (enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equations. use s and t as your parameters.) x + y + z = 2

Answers

Final answer:

The parametric representation of the solution set for the equation x + y + z = 2 is x = t, y = 2 - s - t, z = s, with 's' and 't' as the parameters.

Explanation:

To find the parametric representation of the solution set of the linear equation x + y + z = 2, we first need to express two variables in terms of the third. Let's use 's' and 't' as parameters.

We can express x and y in terms of z. Let's express z as 's'. So, z = s.

The equation x + y + z = 2 thus becomes x + y = 2 - s. We can choose x = t and y = 2 - s - t.

So, the parametric representation of the solution set for the given linear equation is (x = t, y = 2 - s - t, z = s), where 's' and 't' are parameters that can assume any real value.
