Answer: Choice D
(a-e)/f
=======================================
Explanation:
Points D and B are at locations (e,f) and (a,0) respectively.
Find the slope of line DB to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-f)/(a-e)
m = -f/(a-e)
This is the slope of line DB. We want the perpendicular slope to this line. So we'll flip the fraction to get -(a-e)/f and then flip the sign from negative to positive. That leads to the final answer (a-e)/f.
Another example would be an original slope of -2/5 has a perpendicular slope of 5/2. Notice how the two slopes -2/5 and 5/2 multiply to -1. This is true of any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.
Answer:
V(max) = 8712.07 in³
Dimensions:
x (side of the square base) = 16.33 in
girth = 65.32 in
height = 32.67 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = side of the square base
h = the height of the postal
Then according to problem statement we have:
girth = 4*x (perimeter of the base)
and
4* x + h = 98 (at the most) so h = 98 - 4x (1)
Then
V = x²*h
V = x²* ( 98 - 4x)
V(x) = 98*x² - 4x³
Taking dervatives (both menbers of the equation we have:
V´(x) = 196 x - 12 x² ⇒ V´(x) = 0
196x - 12x² = 0 first root of the equation x = 0
Then 196 -12x = 0 12x = 196 x = 196/12
x = 16,33 in ⇒ girth = 4 * (16.33) ⇒ girth = 65.32 in
and from equation (1)
y = 98 - 4x ⇒ y = 98 -4 (16,33)
y = 32.67 in
and maximun volume of a carton V is
V(max) = (16,33)²* 32,67
V(max) = 8712.07 in³
Answer:
≈ 18 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the length of half a circle of radius 3.5 cm:

2. Find the length of the diameter:
D = 2r = 2 · 3.5 = 7 cm
3. Find the perimeter of the figure:
P = 10.99 + 7 = 17.99 ≈ 18 cm
Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 does not equal 7, so there are no solutions.
Infinite solutions would be if it was two equal values, for example, 7 = 7.
