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

Which of the following results in a sum or a product that is rational? Choose all that apply. (3 points)
Kazeer [188]

Remark

It is easier in this case to state the irrational ones and then talk about the rationals.

sqrt(2) * sqrt(3) is irrational. The square root of 6 fills your calculator's window with many numbers and there is no pattern to them. Sqrt(6) cannot be expressed as a fraction or a repeating decimal which is also a fraction.

The last one is also irrational for the same reason. 3*pi cannot be expressed as either a repeating decimal or a fraction.

All the others are rational. The one you might have trouble with is the first one.

0.12 repeating is actually found by letting x = 0.12121212121212121212...Then

100 x =  12.121212121212121212 ...

<u>       x =    0.121212121212121212..</u>.     Subtract

99 x = 12

x = 12/99

So the mixed fraction you get is 3 12/99 which is 309/99

When you multiply that by 1.4 it does not change the fact that you still get a fraction. It turns out to be 721 / 165.  The method is similar to the one used to get 12 / 99. I don't think you need to know the exact answer. You need only need to know that the first one is rational.

Choice 2 is rational because 9 and 25 are  perfect squares. sqrt(9) = 3

Sqrt(25) = 5.

3*5 = 15.

Answer

One Two are four are all rational.

The first side of a triangle is 7cm less than twice the second side. The third side is 4cm longer than the first side. The perim
Vinil7 [7]

Given:

First side(A): 2B - 7

Second side(B): B

Third side(C): B + 4

Plug in values:

A + B + C = 80

2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80

If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:

2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80

This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80

=4B - 3 = 80

= 4B = 80 + 3

B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.

Checking your work:

A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5

B: 20.75

C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75

34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.

Hope this helped.
