A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 40 books. There were twice as many large boxes sent as small boxes, which altogether can hold 330 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = small box and y = large box

30x + 40y = 330

y = 2x

30x + 40(2x) = 330

30x + 80x = 330

110x = 330

x = 330/110

x = 3 <===== 3 small boxes

y = 2x

y = 2(3)

y = 6 <=== 6 large boxes

check...

30x + 40y = 330

30(3) + 40(6) = 330

90 + 240 = 330

330 = 330 (correct)

Help! <br> Which expression is equivalent? <br> On edge
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Choice B

x^{1/8}y^{8}

======================================================

Explanation:

The two rules we use are

(a*b)^c = a^c*b^c

(a^b)^c = a^{b*c}

When applying the first rule to the expression your teacher gave you, we can say that:

\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = \left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2}

Then applying the second rule lets us say

\left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = x^{1/4*1/2}*y^{16*1/2} = x^{1/8}y^{8}

Therefore,

\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2}  = x^{1/8}y^{8}

-------------

In short, we just multiplied each exponent inside by the outer exponent 1/2.

So that explains why the exponents go from {1/4,16} to {1/8,8} for x and y in that exact order.

A beacon is flashing on top of a 50 foot tower. A 6 foot tall man walks constantly away from the tower at 5 feet/sec. At the ins
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:\frac{253}{44}

Step-by-step explanation:

ignore the "at the instant the man is 30 feet away" part, set it as X and the man's shadow as Y.

Similar triangles so we can do \frac{50}{x+y}  = \frac{6}{y}.

Solve for it we get 44y = 6x

Differentiate relative to time t, we get 44y' = 6x'.

change in x (x') is equal to 5. And we get the answer y' = \frac{33}{44}.

the \frac{33}{44} ft/sec is the rate of which the length of the shadow is changing. add 5 to it for the rate of the tip of his shadow moving away from the tower.
