Answer:
a) y = 4
b) RS = 26, ST = 19, RT = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
From the line given, the following vector equation is true, RS + ST = RT since R, S and T lies in the same straight line.
Given RS = 6y + 2, ST = 3y + 7, and RT = 14y - 11
On substituting this values into the equation above we will have;
6y+2+(3y+7) = 14y-11
6y+2+3y+7 = 14y-11
Collect the like terms
6y+3y-14y = -11-7-2
9y-14y = -20
-5y = -20
y = 20/5
y = 4
Since RS = 6y + 2
RS = 6(4)+2
RS = 24+2
RS = 26
ST = 3y + 7
ST = 3(4)+7
ST = 12+7
ST = 19
Also, RT = 14y - 11
RT = 14(4)-11
RT = 56-11
RT = 45

Luke owns a trucking company. For every truck that goes out, Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours the driver worked and the number of miles the truck drove. Define the variables that you use to write the system.
Answer:
17h+1.75m=522 m=40h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h= {the number of hours the driver drove}
Let m= the number of miles driven
The driver makes $17 for each hour working, so if the driver worked for hh hours, Luke would have to pay him 17h17h dollars. The cost of gas and maintenance is $1.75 per mile, so for mm miles Luke's costs would be 1.75m1.75m dollars. The total cost of the route 17h+1.75m17h+1.75m equals \$522:$522:
17h+1.75m=522
17h+1.75m=522
Since the driver drove an avearge of 40 miles per hour, if the driver drove hour, he would have driven 40 miles, and if the driver drove hh hours, he would have driven 40h40h miles, therefore mm equals 40h:40h:
m=40h
m=40h
Write System of Equations:
17h+1.75m= 522
m=40h
The truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve a further problem related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
The following are the different costs of the truck that Luke must be pay while running a truck:
Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving.A truck has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance.Let ' x ' be the total time of driving a truck in hours.
and ' y ' be the total mile distance that is covered by the truck.
Therefore, the system of the equation for the overall running cost for a truck is given below.
[tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
Now, On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour, and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522.
Thus,
The total distance traveled by truck is 40x.
That is,
[tex]y=40x[/tex]
Substitute the values and solve them further.
[tex]522=17x+1.75y\\522=17x+1.75 \times 40x\\522=17x+70x\\522=87x\\x=6[/tex]
Thus, the truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve the further problems related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]

The radius of a sphere is measured as 7 centimeters, with a possible error of 0.025 centimeter.
Required:
a. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error, in cm3, in computing the volume of the sphere.
b. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error in computing the surface area of the sphere.
c. Approximate the percent errors in parts (a) and (b).
Answer:
a) dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 % and dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71 %
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The volume of the sphere is
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ where x is the radius
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
dV(s)/ dr = 4*π*x² or
dV(s) = 4*π*x² *dr
the possible propagated error in cm³ in computing the volume of the sphere is:
dV(s) = 4*3,14*(7)²*(0,025)
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) Surface area of the sphere is:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³
dV(s) /dx = S(s) = 4*π*x³
And
dS(s) /dx = 8*π*x
dS(s) = 8*π*x*dx
dS(s) = 8*3,14*7*(0,025)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) The approximates errors in a and b are:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ then
V(s) = (4/3)*3,14*(7)³
V(s) = 1436,03 cm³
And the possible propagated error in volume is from a) is
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
dV(s)/V(s) = [15,386 cm³/1436,03 cm³]* 100
dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 %
And for case b)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
And the surface area of the sphere is:
S(s) = 4*π*x³ ⇒ S(s) = 4*3,14*(7)² ⇒ S(s) = 615,44 cm²
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
dS(s)/ S(s) = [ 4,396 cm²/615,44 cm² ] * 100
dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71
musah stands at the center of a rectangular field . He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 step west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. How far west and how far north is Musah final point from the center?
Answer:
85.36 far north from the center
10.36 far east from the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The extra direction taken in the north side is x
X/sin(360-315)=50/sin 90
Sin 90= 1
X/sin 45= 50
X= sin45 *50
X= 0.7071*50
X= 35.355 steps
X= 35.36
Then the west direction traveled
West =√(50² - 35.355²)
West = √(2500-1249.6225)
West= √1250.3775
West= 35.36 steps
But this was taken in an opposite west direction
From the center
He is 35.36 +50
= 85.36 far north from the center
And
25-35.36=-10.36
10.36 far east from the center
A buoy floating in the sea is bobbing in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 13 in and period 0.25 seconds. Its displacement d from sea level at time t=0 seconds is 0in, and initially it moves downward. (Note that downward is the negative direction.)Required:Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
Answer:
The equation is [tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 13 \ in[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 0.25[/tex]
Generally the displacement function for a simple harmonic motion is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = A cos (wt )[/tex]
Here [tex]w[/tex] is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{ 0.25}[/tex]
[tex]w = 8\pi[/tex]
Given that at t = 0 the displacement is equal to 0 it means that there is no phase shift and also we are told that it is initially moving downward which implies that its Amplitude is [tex]A = -13\ in[/tex]
So the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t is mathematically represented as
[tex]x(t) = -13 cos (8 \pi t )[/tex]
You sell tickets at school for fundraisers. You sold car wash tickets, silly string fight tickets and dance tickets – for a total of 380 tickets sold. The car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each. If you sold twice as many silly string tickets as car wash tickets, and you have $1460 total. Write the matrix in the box below. Write the solution set for this system and include any necessary work.
Answer:
Matrix :
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&|&380\\ 5&3&10&|&1460\\ -2&1&0&|&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Solution Set : { x = 123, y = 246, z = 11 }
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that x represents the number of car wash tickets, y represents the number of silly sting fight tickets, and z represents the number of dance tickets. We know that the total tickets = 380, so therefore,
x + y + z = 380,
And the car wash tickets were $5 each, the silly sting fight tickets were $3 each and the dance tickets were $10 each, the total cost being $1460.
5x + 3y + 10z = 1460
The silly string tickets were sold for twice as much as the car wash tickets.
y = 2x
Therefore, if we allign the co - efficients of the following system of equations, we get it's respective matrix.
System of Equations :
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}x+y+z=380\\ 5x+3y+10z=1460\\ y=2x\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Matrix :
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&1&1&|&380\\ 5&3&10&|&1460\\ -2&1&0&|&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Let's reduce this matrix to row - echelon form, receiving the number of car wash tickets, silly sting fight tickets, and dance tickets,
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 1&1&1&380\\ -2&1&0&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Swap Matrix Rows
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\\ -2&1&0&0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Cancel leading Co - efficient in second row
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\\ 0&\frac{11}{5}&4&584\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Cancel leading Co - efficient in third row
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}5&3&10&1460\\ 0&\frac{11}{5}&4&584\\ 0&\frac{2}{5}&-1&88\end{bmatrix}[/tex] - Swap second and third rows

And we can continue, canceling the leading co - efficient in each row until this matrix remains,
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}1&0&0&|&\frac{2340}{19}\\ 0&1&0&|&\frac{4680}{19}\\ 0&0&1&|&\frac{200}{19}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
x = 2340 / 19 = ( About ) 123 car wash tickets sold, y= 4680 / 19 =( About ) 246 silly string fight tickets sold, z = 200 / 19 = ( About ) 11 tickets sold
How much would you need to deposit in an account now in order to have $6,000 in the account in 8 years? Assume the account earns 6% interest compounded monthly. (could anyone do this whole problem out?
Answer:
$3,717
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, in 1 year there are 12 months.
Let's note I the Initial amount.
So, after 1 month we will get the following, because we compute the interest amount for one month only.
I * ( 1 + 6% * (1/12) )
And the next month, we will have interest of the amount available from previous month so it gives
[tex]I * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) * ( 1+6\% * \dfrac{1}{12} ) \\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{6}{12*100})^2\\\\=I*(1+\dfrac{1}{200})^2\\\\=I*(1.005)^2[/tex]
... and after n months ...
[tex]I*(1.005)^n[/tex]
8 years is 8*12 = 96 months. so we are looking for I such that

An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm
Answer:
(a) After t years, the height is
18t² + 3t + 10
(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given growth rate
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3
dh = (18t + 3)dt
Integrating this, we have
h = 18t² + 3t + C
When t = 0, h = 10cm
Then
10 = C
So
(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10
(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9
h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10
= 810 + 27 + 10
= 847 cm

The force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass. The constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per second squared. Which equation represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass? F = 16.1m F = F equals StartFraction 16.1 Over m squared EndFraction. F = 32.2m F = F equals StartFraction 32.2 Over m squared EndFraction.
Answer:
F = 32.2mStep-by-step explanation:
According to newton second law, the force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass and it is expressed mathematically as Fαm i.e
F = mg where;
F is the force of gravity
m is the mass of the body
g is the proportionality constant known as the acceleration due to gravity.
If the constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2ft/s², the equation that represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass can be gotten by substituting g = 32.2 into the formula above according to the law as shown;
F = m*32.2
F =32.2m
Hence the required equation is F = 32.2m

You take the 50, becuse the amount earned increases once you surpass 40 you do 40 x 10 and that = 4000 then you take the remaining 10 and times that by 15 (becuse after 40 it is 1.5 of what you where earning before you hit 40 hours and half of ten is 5 so you do 10 plus 5 and times that by 10) then add both numbers together and you have 4150! Hope that helped!

Complete Question
In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 171 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected? The probability of getting a green pea is approximately: Is the probability reasonably close to 3/4?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Yes the result is reasonably close
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of of green peas is [tex]g = 436[/tex]
The number of yellow peas is [tex]y = 171[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 171 + 436 = 607[/tex]
The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(g) = \frac{g}{n}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) = \frac{436}{607}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Comparing [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex] to [tex]\frac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex] we see that the result is reasonably close
what are the comparison symbols for 5/6 and 2/5, 4/10 and 7/8, and 3/12 and 1/4
Answer like this: Example
=
<
>
Answer:
5/6 > 2/44/10 < 7/83/12 = 1/4Step-by-step explanation:
The comparison will be the same if you subtract the right side and compare to zero:
a/b ?? c/d . . . . . . . using ?? for the unknown comparison symbol
a/b - c/d ?? 0 . . . . subtract the fraction on the right
(ad -bc)/bd ?? 0 . . . combine the two fractions
ad - bc ?? 0 . . . . . . multiply by bd to make the job easier

5/6 and 2/5
5(5) -6(2) = 25 -12 > 0 ⇒ 5/6 > 2/5
4/10 and 7/8
4(8) -10(7) = 48 - 70 < 0 ⇒ 4/10 < 7/8
3/12 and 1/4
3(4) -12(1) = 0 ⇒ 3/12 = 1/4
_____
Of course, you can use your calculator (or your memory) to change each of these to a decimal equivalent. The comparison should be easy at that point.
0.833 > 0.400
0.400 < 0.875
0.250 = 0.250
A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.
Answer:
2ft by 2ft by 1 ftStep-by-step explanation:
Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;
S = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1
Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2
From equation 2;
h = 4/lw
Substituting into r[equation 1;
S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)
S = lw+8/l+8/w
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;
dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)
dS/dw = l - 8/w²
Similarly,
dS/dl = w + (-8l⁻²)
dS/dw = w - 8/l²
At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0
l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0
l = 8/w² and w =8/l²
l = 8/(8/l² )²
l = 8/(64/I⁴)
l = 8*l⁴/64
l = l⁴/8
8l = l⁴
l³ = 8
l = ∛8
l = 2
Hence the length of the box is 2 feet
Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w
2 = 8/w²
1 = 4/w²
w² = 4
w = 2 ft
width of the cardboard is 2 ft
Since Volume = lwh
4 = 2(2)h
4 = 4h
h = 1 ft
Height of the cardboard is 1 ft
The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft
what are the next terms in the number pattern -11, -8, -5, -2, 1
Answer:
4, 7, 10, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
