Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a circle (all 360°) is

pi×r²

with r being the radius.

the area of a circle segment is just the corresponding fraction of the whole circle.

so the area of a segment of x degrees is

pi×r² × x/360

in our case we know

pi×42240² × x/360 = 180 mi²

we also know that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.

so, the radius is actually

42240 / 5280 = 8 miles

and therefore our equation resulting in mi² has to use miles and not ft and has to look that way :

pi×8² × x/360 = 180 mi²

pi×64 × x/360 = 180

pi×64 × x = 180×360

pi×x = 180×360/64 = 1012.5

x = 1012.5/pi = 322.2887598...°

so, the angle of the segment of a circle with the area of 180 mi² and the radius of 8 mi is 322.2887598...°

In a class of 6060 students, 4040 are democrats, 1010 are business majors, and 33 of the business majors are democrats. if on

iVinArrow [24]

100(whole class is 100%) / 6060(number of students total) = any random student chance
0.0165
A) for democrats multiply chance of any random student with number of democrats
0.0165×4040=66.66666...
B) for business majors, multiply that chance with number of business majors
0.0165×1010=16.66666...
C) for both business major and democrat multiply chance with numbers of students who are both
0.0165×33=0.544...

The minimum/maximum value of the function y = a(x − 2)(x − 1) occurs at x = d, what is the value of d?

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$d=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$y=a(x-2)(x-1)$

And we want to find x=d for which the minimum/maximum value will occur.

Notice that our function is a quadratic in factored form.

Remember that the minimum/maximum value always occurs at the vertex point.

And remember that the x-coordinate of the vertex is the axis of symmetry.

Since a quadratic is always symmetrical on both sides of its axis of symmetry, a quadratic’s axis of symmetry is the average of the two roots/zeros of the quadratic.

Therefore, the value x=d such that it produces the minimum/maximum value is the average of the two roots.

Our factors are (x-2) and (x-1).

Therefore, our roots/zeros are x=1, 2.

So, the average of them are:

$d=\frac{1+2}{2}=3/2=1.5$

Therefore, regardless of the value of a, the minimum/maximum value will occur at x=d=1.5.

Alternative Method:

Of course, we can also expand to confirm our answer. So:

$y=a(x^2-2x-x+2)\\y=a(x^2-3x+2)\\y=ax^2-3ax+2a$

The x-coordinate of the vertex is still going to be the place where the minimum/maximum is going to occur.

And the formula for the vertex is:

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

So, we will substitute -3a for b and a for a. This yields:

$x=-\frac{-3a}{2a}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Confirming our answer.

Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts over the weekend. She plans to split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings.

MrMuchimi

3/20, or 0.15 of the shirts each evening

1 - 1/4 = 3/4

(3/4) / 5 = (3/4) / (5/1) = (3/4) x (1/5) = 3/20 = 0.15
