Answer:

joint variation means L (safe load) is directly proportional to both w and d2

inverse proportionality means L = k/l

So the equation is:

L = k(wd2/l)

You are given:

w = 6 in

d = 5 in

l = 12 ft

L = 7666 lbs

7666 = k(6*52/12)

Solve for the constant, k.

7666 = k (6*25/12)

7666 = k (150/12)

7666 = k (12.5)

613.28 lbs/(ft.in3) = k

Use this k-value to solve for L in the last part of the question.

What safe load, L would a beam 3 in. wide, 7 in. deep and 15 ft long of the same material support? (Round off your answer to the nearest pound.)

w = 3 in

d =7 in

l = 15 ft

k = 613.28 lbs/(ft.in3)

Final Safe load = 6010.144 lbs *** Edited for clarity and to fix a multiplication erro

Ernesto solves the equation below by first squaring both sides of the equation. \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2 2 1 ​ w+8 ​ =−2square
algol [13]

Answer:

<h2>w = -8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Ernesto expressed as \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2, the extraneous solution obtained by Ernesto is shown below;

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2\\\\square\ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8})^2=(-2)^2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 = 4\\\\Subtract \ 8 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 - 8= 4- 8\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w= -4\\\\multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w*2= -4*2\\\\w = -8

Hence, the extraneous solution that Ernesto obtained is w = -8

A line has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of (0, –1). What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and p
givi [52]
Well, the first line has a slope of -3, and runs through 0, -1.

a line parallel to that one, will have the same exact slope of -3.

now, we know about this other parallel line that it runs through -3,1, and of course, since is parallel, it has a slope of -3

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1\\&#10;&&(~ -3 &,& 1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies -3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-1=-3[x-(-3)]&#10;\\\\\\&#10;y-1=-3(x+3)&#10;\implies &#10;y-1=-3x-9\implies y=-3x-8
