X= Desert 2
y= Desert 1 = 9x (because it is 9 times the area of Desert 1)

Add the two areas together.

x + 9x = 40,000,000
10x = 40,000,000
Divide both sides by 10
x= 4,000,000 sqr mi=area of Desert 2

9x= area of Desert 1 = y
9(4,000,000)= 36,000,000 sqr mi

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

One example is the equation:

2x + 6 = 4x/2 + 12/2

To solve this, we need to transpose like terms to the same side.

2x - 4x/2 = 12/2 - 6

2x - 2x = 6 - 6

0 = 0

Since both sides are zero, it means that the equation has infinite number of solutions.

A pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm, and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wave
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A Pipe that is 120 cm long resonates to produce sound of wavelengths 480 cm, 160 cm and 96 cm but does not resonate at any wavelengths longer than these. This pipe is:

A. closed at both ends

B. open at one end and closed at one end

C. open at both ends.

D. we cannot tell because we do not know the frequency of the sound.

The right choice is:

B. open at one end and closed at one end .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the pipe, L = 120 cm

Its wavelength \lambda_1 = 480 cm

                         \lambda_2 = 160 cm and \lambda_3 = 96 cm

We have to find whether the pipe is open,closed or open-closed or none.

Note:

  • The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is open at both ends is 2L.
  • The fundamental wavelength of a pipe which is closed at one end and open at another end is 4L.

So,

The fundamental wavelength:

⇒ 4L=4(120)=480\ cm

It seems that the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end.

Now lets check with the subsequent wavelengths.

For one side open and one side closed pipe:

An odd-integer number of quarter wavelength have to fit into the tube of length L.

⇒  \lambda_2=\frac{4L}{3}                                   ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{4L}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=\frac{4(120)}{3}                              ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{4(120)}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=\frac{480}{3}                                  ⇒  \lambda_3=\frac{480}{5}

⇒ \lambda_2=160\ cm                           ⇒   \lambda_3=96\ cm  

So the pipe is open at one end and closed at one end .
