If a rectangular piece of metal has 27.75 square inches what is the length and width?

Mathematics

We cannot get further information about the dimensions of the piece since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations.

<h3>What are the dimensions of a rectangular piece of metal?</h3>

By geometry we know that the area of the piece of metal is equal to the product of its length and width, then we must find two <em>real</em> numbers such that:

l · w = 27.75, where l, w > 0.

Unfortunately, we cannot get further information about the dimensions of the piece since the number of variables is greater than the number of equations. We need at least one equation to find an <em>unique</em> solution.

Nataly_w [17]

solution is first os all find median

median is( 45+61)/2=53

find median of no in left of 53

it is 37

find median of no in right of 53

it is 64

now interquartile range=64-53=27

A radio telescope has a parabolic surface, as shown below.
krek1111 [17]
OK, so the graph is a parabola, with points x=0,y=0; x=6,y=-9; and x=12,y=0

Because the roots of the equation are 0 and 12, we know the formula is therefore of the form

y = ax(x - 12), for some a

So put in x = 6

-9 = 6a(-6)

9 = 36a

a = 1/4

So the parabola has a curve y = x(x-12) / 4, which can also be written y = 0.25x² - 3x

The gradient of this is dy/dx = 0.5x - 3

The key property of a parabolic dish is that it focuses radio waves travelling parallel to the y axis to a single point. So we should arrive at the same focal point no matter what point we chose to look at. So we can pick any point we like - e.g. the point x = 4, y = -8

Gradient of the parabolic mirror at x = 4 is -1

So the gradient of the normal to the mirror at x = 4 is therefore 1.

Radio waves initially travelling vertically downwards are reflected about the normal - which has a gradient of 1, so they're reflected so that they are travelling horizontally. So they arrive parallel to the y axis, and leave parallel to the x axis.

So the focal point is at y = -8, i.e. 1 metre above the back of the dish.

For each table, determine whether it shows that x and y are proportional.
myrzilka [38]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. proportional, 6

  2. not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Table 1</u>

Each y-value is 6 times the corresponding x-value, so the variables are proportional, and y = 6 times x.

<u>Table 2</u>

The ratios of y to x are 2, 4, 8, so are not the same. The values are not proportional.
