A carpenter has two lengths of wood; one is 108cm long and the other is 72cm long. He wants to cut them up to produce smaller pi

eces of wood to build a shelving unit so they all need to be the same length, with no wood left over. What is the greatest length, in cm, that he can make the shelves?

Answer: He needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first wood = 108 cm

Length of second wood = 72 cm

We need to find the greatest length so that he can make the shelves.

Greatest length = h.c.f. of 108 and 72 { 36 cm.

Hence, he needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Answer:

36 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must find the Greatest common factor.

2. List the prime factor of 108 and 72:

$108:(2)(2)(3)(3)(3)=(2^{2})(3^{3})\\ 72:(2)(2)(2)(3)(3)=(2^{3})(3^{2})$

3. Now, you must choose the common prime numbers with the lowest exponents and multiply them:

$(2^{2})(3^{2})=(4)(9)=36$

Answer:

a

No singular point due to the exponent in the solution

The interval is $-\infty$

b

NONE

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 9y$

The generally solution is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dy }{dx} = 9y$

=> $\frac{dy}{y} = 9dx$

integrating both sides

$\int\limits {\frac{ dy}{y} } \, = \int\limits {9} \, dx$

=> $lny = 9x + c$

=> $y = e^{9x +c }$

=> $y = e^{9x} e^{c}$

Here $e^c = C$

=> $y = C e^{9x}$

From the above equation we see that the domain for x has no singular point the interval is

$-\infty$

Also there is no transient term in the general solution obtained because as $x \to \infty$ there no case where $y \to 0$

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ \frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{3} }{ \frac{x}{2} } = \frac{x( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3} )}{ x(\frac{1}{2}) } \\ = \frac{ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{3} }{ \frac{1}{2} } \\ = \frac{14}{12} = \frac{7}{6}$

Write the fraction 7/8 as an equivalent fraction with the given denominator 40

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

35/40

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8, with the given denominator 40

So how do we get 8, to turn into 40?

Simple multiplication.

8x5 = 40, and whatever we multiply times the denominator, we multiply for the numerator.

So

7x5 = 35

The answer should be 35/40

Find the directional derivative of the function at the given point in the direction of the vector v. f(x, y, z) = xyz , (3, 3, 9

Anna [14]

The derivative of $f(x,y,z)$ in the direction of a vector $\mathbf u$ is

$\nabla_{\mathbf u}f=\nabla f\cdot\dfrac{\mathbf u}{\|\mathbf u\|}$

With $f(x,y,z)=xyz$ , we get

$\nabla f=(yz,xz,xy)$

and $\mathbf u=(-1,-2,2)$ ,

$\|\mathbf u\|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-2)^2+2^2}=3$

Then

$\nabla_{(-1,-2,2)}f(3,3,9)=(27,27,9)\cdot\dfrac{(-1,-2,2)}3=-21$
