The value of a and b from the coordinates are 3 and 5 respectively

<h3>Midpoint of coordinates</h3>

The formula for finding the midpoint of two coordinates is expressed as;

M(x, y) = {x1+x2/2, y1+y1/2}

Given the following coordinates

M(a, 4)

A(1,3)

B(5,b)

Using the formula

a = 1+5/2

a = 6/2

a = 3

Similarly

4 = 3+b/2

8 = 3+b

b = 8-3

b = 5

Hence the value of a and b from the coordinates are 3 and 5 respectively

A taxi charges $1.25 per mile and a flat fee of $2.75. How much would Maria pay for a 5 mile ride?

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so you write the expression 2.75+1.25x= ?

If we subsitute the X for 5(miles) the we'll have the expression 2.75+1.25(5)= ?

and if you simplify that you will get 9.

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3 /min and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of $\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft³ /min

i.e $\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min$

we know that radius r is always twice the diameter d

i.e d = 2r

Given that :

the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal.

then d = h = 2r

h = 2r

r = h/2

The volume of a cone can be given by the formula:

$V = \dfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}$

$V = \dfrac{\pi (h/2)^2 h}{3}$

$V = \dfrac{1}{12} \pi h^3$

$V = \dfrac{ \pi h^3}{12}$

Taking the differentiation of volume V with respect to time t; we have:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{d}{dh}(\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12})) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{\pi h^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

we know that:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min$

So;we have:

$20= (\dfrac{\pi (15)^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$20= 56.25 \pi \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of $\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x(6 + 8x²) or 6x + 8x³.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The square of x" can be represented by x² and 8 times that would be 8 * x² or 8x². The sum of 6 and 8x² can be represented by 6 + x² and the product of x and 6 + x² can be represented by x * (6 + 8x²) or x(6 + 8x²) which simplifies to 6x + 8x³.
