 Which Is A True Statement About 10 Days Of Production?A. Plant C Is Just Beginning To Produce Actual

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. None of these plants is yet producing actual widgets.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the graph, the number of days is on the x axis, and the number of widgets at y axis.

At 10 days, no line is above the '0' means no one is producing widgets at 10 days point.

Since the y axis represents number of widgets produced, this means none of the plants have produced more than 0 widgets yet.

So, option B is the answer.

A cylinder with a radius of 1 cm and a height of 21 cm has the same volume as a cone with a height of 7 cm. What is the radius of the cone? A) 3 cm B) 5 cm C) 7 cm D) 9 cm

Answers

Answer:

A) 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cylinder:

[tex]V=\pi r^2H[/tex]

r - radius

H - height

We have r = 1cm and H = 21cm. Substitute:

[tex]V=\pi(1^2)(21)=21\pi\ cm^3[/tex]

The formula of a cone:

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H[/tex]

r - radius

H - height

We have V = 21π cm³ and H = 7cm. Substitute:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(r^2)(7)=21\pi[/tex]        divide both sides by π

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}(7)(r^2)=21[/tex]         divide both sides by 7

[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}r^2=3[/tex]         multiply both sides by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

[tex]\sec x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},\:\:for\:\:\frac{\pi}{2}\le x \le \pi[/tex]

Recall that the reciprocal of the cosine ratio is the secant ratio.

This implies that;

[tex]\frac{1}{\cos x}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

[tex]x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})[/tex]

The length of a rectangular field is 7 m less than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 136m ?. Find the width and the length of the rectangle

Answers

♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫

The perimeter is the total of all the lengths / widths

The lengths can be represented by 4x - 7

The width can be represented by x

2 times the length + 2 times the width would equal the perimeter

2(x) + 2(4x - 7) = 136

Simplify:

2x + 8x - 14 = 136

10x - 14 = 136

Add 14 to both sides:

10x = 150

Divide both sides by 10:

x = 15

The width is equal to 15m

The length is 4(15) - 7 = 53m

P is the principal amount, $2300.00.

r is the interest rate, 5% per year, or in decimal form, 5/100=0.05.

t is the time involved, 4....year(s) time periods.

(a) when there is a negative in front of the leading coefficient  (- x^2), that is a reflection over the x axis.  a regular parabola opens up.  In this case, the negative in front of the first term makes it open downward.  

-f(x) is a reflection    so -2x^2 would open downward.

(b) the vertex of the parabola is -b/2a

in this problem a x^2 + bx + c = y

                         -2x^2 + 4x + 3 = y

a = -2, b = 4, c = 3

formula for vertex -b/2a  = -4/2(-2)    = -4/-4  = 1    This is the x-value of the vertex.  Plug back into original equation to find the y value.

Initially a tank contains 10,000 liters of liquid at the time t = 0 minutes a tap is opened, a liquid then follows out of the tank. The volume of the liquid V liters, which remains in the tank after t minutes is given by V = 10,000(0.933)^t

a) Find the value of V after 5 minutes.
b) Find how long, to the nearest second, it takes for half of the initial amount of liquid to follow out of the tank.
c) The tank is regarded as effectively empty when 95% of the liquid has flowed out. Show that it takes almost three quarters of an hour for this to happen.
d) (i) Find the value of 10,000 - V when t = 0.001 minutes
(ii) Hence or otherwise, estimate the initial flow rate of the liquid. Give your answer in liters per minute, correct to two significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

a) 7069.82 Liters

b) 600 seconds

c) Shown below

d) (i) 0.6935 liters   (ii)  Since 0.6935 liters in 0.001 minute, so 693.5 liters per minute is as estimate (in liters per minute)

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

We simply put 5 into t of the equation and get the value of V. So:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\V=10,000(0.933)^5\\V=7069.82[/tex]

So after 5 minutes the amount remaining is 7069.82 Liters

b)

half of the initial amount is half of 10,000 which is 5000. So we substitute 5000 into V and solve for t using logarithms.

Note: [tex]ln(a^b)=blna[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\5000=10,000(0.933)^t\\0.5=(0.933)^t\\ln(0.5)=ln((0.933)^t)\\ln(0.5)=tln(0.933)\\t=\frac{ln(0.5)}{ln(0.933)}\\t=9.99[/tex]

Thus, t = 9.9949 minutes.

To get answer in seconds, we multiply by 60. Thus 9.9949*60= 600 seconds

c)

95% empty means 5% remaining. 5% of 10,000 = 0.05 * 10,000 = 500. We plug in 500 into V and solve for t as the previous step. Shown below:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\500=10,000(0.933)^t\\0.05=0.933^t\\ln(0.05)=ln(0.933^t)\\ln(0.05)=tln(0.933)\\t=\frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.933)}\\t=43.1972[/tex]

So it takes around 43.1972 minutes to empty 95%. Since three-quarters of an hour is  [tex](\frac{3}{4})(60)=45[/tex] minutes, we have shown that the time it takes (43.1972 minutes) is very close to three-quarters of an hour.

d)

We plug in 0.001 into t and find V. Then we subtract that value from 10,000. This is just finding how much water has been removed in 0.001 minutes. Let's do this:

[tex]V=10,000(0.933)^t\\V=10,000(0.933)^{0.001}\\V=9999.3065\\Now\\10,000 - 9999.3065 = 0.6935[/tex]

So, 0.6935 liters

Use the laws of logarithms and the values given below to evaluate the logarithmic expression (picture provided)

Answers

Answer: option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given exercise, you must keep on mind the following law of logaritms:

[tex]m*log(a)=log(a)^m[/tex]

Descompose 8 into its prime factors:

[tex]8=2*2*2=2^3[/tex]

Therefore,  you can rewrite the expression given, as following:

[tex]log8=log2^3=3log2[/tex]

You know that [tex]log2=0.3010[/tex]

Then, when you substitute, you obtain:

[tex]3*0.3010[/tex]≈0.9030

Factor out 8 using 2.

log(8) = log(2^3)

Use the product rule [ log(xy) = log(x) + log(y) ] to simplify.

log(2^3) = 3 log(2)

Simplify using the given value for 2.

3(0.3010)

0.9030

Therefore, log(8) ≈ 0.9030 (Option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

10.50u ≥ 200 + 6.40u       solve for u....

4.10u ≥ 200        (subtract 6.40u to both sides)

       u ≥ 200/4.10  (divide both sides by 4.10)

         u ≥ 48.78

         Any number of units greater than 48.78, but they can't sell parts of a unit, so 49 is the minimum number of units that need to be sold to make a profit

We can use the cosine rule to find the missing side length.

The cosine rule is given as;

[tex] {a}^{2} = {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} - 2bc \cos( A) [/tex]

Let the missing side be "a".

Then,

[tex] {a}^{2} = {9}^{2} + {6}^{2} - 2 \times 9 \times 6 \cos(37 \degree) [/tex]

[tex] {a}^{2} = 81+ 36- 86.253[/tex]

[tex] {a}^{2} = 30.74736[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{30.747} [/tex]

[tex]a \approx5.5[/tex]

Therefore the missing side length is approximately 5.5 units to the nearest tenth.

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 25 3/5 meters and a base with 4 meter sides

Answers

ANSWER

The height of the square pyramid is 4.8m

EXPLANATION

The volume of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula:

[tex]Volume = \frac{1}{3}(base \: area) \times height[/tex]

It was given that;

The volume of the square pyramid is

[tex]25 \frac{3}{5} {m}^{3} [/tex]

The side length of the square base is

[tex]4m[/tex]

We substitute the given values and then solve for the height.

[tex]25 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{3}( {4}^{2} ) \times height[/tex]

We solve for the height to obtain;

[tex]height = \frac{25 \frac{3}{5} }{ \frac{16}{3} } [/tex]

We simplify to get;

[tex]height = 4.8m[/tex]

Hence, the height of the square pyramid is 4.8 meters.
