A smokestack deposits soot on the ground with a concentration inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the stack. With two smokestacks d miles apart, the concentration of the combined deposits on the line joining them, at a distance x from one stack, is given by:
[tex]S=\frac{c}{x^2} +\frac{k}{(d-x)^2}[/tex]
where c and k are positive constants which depend on the quantity of smoke each stack is emitting. If k=8c, find the point on the line joining the stacks where the concentration of the deposit is a minimum. xmin= ? miles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  d/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For k = 8c, the concentration is ...

  S = c/x^2 + 8c/(d -x)^2

The minimum of the function will be found where its derivative is zero. The derivative with respect to x is ...

  S' = -2c/x^3 +(-2)(8c)(-x)/(d -x)^3

We are interested in the value of x that makes this zero.

  0 = -2c/x^3 +16c/(d -x)^3 . . . . . simplify slightly, set S'=0

  0 = (-2(d -x)^3 +16x^3)/(x(d -x))^3 . . . . . combine terms, divide by c

  0 = d^3 -3d^2x +3dx^2 -x^3 -8x^3 . . . . multiply by (x(d-x))^3/(-2)

  9x^3 -3dx^2 +3d^2x -d^3 = 0 . . . . . simplified cubic

Factoring by grouping, we have ...

  (9x^3 -3dx^2) +(3d^2x -d^3) = 0

  3x^2(3x -d) +d^2(3x -d) = 0

  (3x^2 +d^2)(3x -d) = 0

The solution will be found where the second of these factors is zero:

  3x -d = 0

  x = d/3

The concentration of the deposit is a minimum at x = d/3 miles.

_____

The graph shows the minimum is x = 1/3 when d = 1.

My little sister need help with this problem. Annabelle arranged her 42 building blocks into 3 rows of 14 blocks. Then, she rearranged them into 6 rows of 7 blocks. What two other factor pairs could Annabelle use to help her rearrange the blocks again?
Explain your answer using complete sentences.

Answers

Annabelle could arrange her blocks in one row of 42 building blocks as 1 times 42 = 42.

She could also arrange her blocks in 2 rows of 21 blocks because 2 times 21 is also 42.

Answer:

21 rows and two Blocks

1 row 42 Blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of blocks with Annabelle = 42

First arrangement = 3 rows 14 blocks

Second arrangement = 6 rows 7 blocks

Solution

The other two factor pairs that could be used to rearrange the blocks again?

Solution:

Here, we will have to find the factor pairs of total number of blocks present with Annabelle.

i.e. 42

First of all, let us have a look at the factor pairs of 42.

Therefore, the other two factor pairs can be 2, 21 and 1, 42.

The other two possible factor pairs are:

21 rows 2 blocks

1 row 42 blocks

find an equation of the line parallel to y=2x+3 and that passes through the point (5,3)

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7

y = 2x - 7 ← equation of parallel line

Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First line: y = 2x + 3 , m = 2

Second line: m = 2 and pass ( 5 , 3 )

y - 3 = 2( x - 5 ) ⇔ y = 2x - 7

Pls help I'm dying here

Answers

Answer:

Monthly rent for Year 9: $1,653.5

Total cost of rent for the whole 9th year: $19,841.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the monthly rent of $800 for an aparment, for which it is set to increase by 9.5% annually:

Increase in the Monthly Cost of RentYear 1:

The monthly rent will stay at $800 for the first year.  

Year 2:

For year 2, we must add the 9.5% increase in the monthly rent. In order to determine the 9.5%, simply multiply the monthly rent by 0.095 (the decimal equivalent of 9.5%), then add the product to the monthly rent in year 1 of $800.

9.5% increase for Year 2:  $800 × 0.095 = $76

Monthly rent in Year 2:  $800 + $76 = $876

Year 3:

For year 3, we must add the 9.5% increase in the monthly rent from Year 2 ($876).  

9.5% increase for Year 3:  $876 × 0.095 = $83.22

Monthly rent in Year 3:  $876 +  $83.22 = $959.22

Year 4:

For year 4, we must add the 9.5% increase in the monthly rent from Year 3 ($959.22).  

9.5% increase for Year 4:  $959.22 × 0.095 = $91.13

Monthly rent in Year 4: $959.22 +   $91.13 = $1,050.35

Year 5:

For year 4, we must add the 9.5% increase in the monthly rent from Year 4 ($1,050.35).  

9.5% increase for Year 5:  $1,050.35 × 0.095 = $99.78

Monthly rent in Year 5: $1,050.35 + $99.78 = $1,150.13

Year 6:

9.5% increase for Year 6:  $1,150.13 × 0.095 = $109.26

Monthly rent in Year 6:  $1,150.13 + $109.26 = $1,259.39

Year 7:

9.5% increase for Year 7:  $1,259.39 × 0.095 = $119.64

Monthly rent in Year 7:  $1,259.39 + $119.64 = $1,379.03

Year 8:

9.5% increase for Year 8:  $1,379.03  × 0.095 = $131.00

Monthly rent in Year 8:  $1,379.03 + $131.00 = $1,510.04

Year 9:

9.5% increase for Year 9:  $1,510.04  × 0.095 = $143.45

Monthly rent in Year 9:  $1,510.04 + $143.45 = $1,653.50

Yearly Cost of Rent:

In order to determine the yearly cost of renting an apartment, simply multiply  monthly rent by 12. In other words:

Year 1: $800 × 12 = $9600

Year 2: $876 × 12 = $10,512

Year 3: $959.22 × 12 = $11,510.64

Year 4: $1,050.35 × 12 = $12,604.15

Year 5: $1,150.13 × 12 = $13,801.55

Year 6: $1,259.39 × 12 = $15,112.69

Year 7: $1,379.03 × 12 = $16,548.40

Year 8: $1,510.04 × 12 = $18,120.50

Year 9: $1,653.50 × 12 = $19,841.94

Therefore, due to the 9.5% annual increase in rent, the monthly cost of an apartment during the 9th year is $1,653.5, or $19,841.9 (12-months' worth of rent).
