How many 4' x 8' sheets of plywood are required to cover a floor that is 9 m by 16 m?

Mathematics

Xelga [282]3 years ago

Assuming no border or waste, 9m by 16 m translates to 29.52' x 52.49'.
use 32/8=4 sheets of plywood to cover the width on the 8' side.
For the length, use 52/4=13 pieces on the 4' side.  
This gives a total of 4*13=52 sheets.
The extra 0.49' x 29.52 can be covered using the extra from the last four sheets for the width.

Check: 
Area to be covered: 29.52*52.49=1550 sq. ft.
Area of plywood supplied = 52*4'x8'= 1664 sq. ft, > 1550 sq.ft.

Find the domain of the function (f/g)(x) given f (x)=x^2-4x-5 and g(x)=x^2-25
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

all real numbers except ±5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each function (f(x), g(x)) has a domain that is all real numbers. Their quotient (f(x)/g(x)) must exclude values that make g(x) = 0. The quotient is undefined when the denominator is zero. Those excluded values are x = ±5.

The domain of (f/g)(x) is all real numbers except ±5.

___

Of course you recognize x^2 -25 = 0 has solutions x = ±√25 = ±5. You can get there two ways:

  1. add 25 and take the square root: x^2=25; x=±√25.
  2. factor the difference of squares and set the factors to zero: (x-5)(x+5)=0 has solutions x-5=0 and x+5=0, that is, x = ±5.

Two integers, a and b, have a product of 36. What is the least possible sum of a and b?
Minchanka [31]
<h3>Answer:  12</h3>

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

Explanation:

The two integers multiply to 36, so,

ab = 36

which solves to

a = 36/b

Then we want to add the numbers such that we get the smallest possible result.

a+b = (36/b)+b

So we want (36/b)+b to be as small as possible.

Let's say we replace b with x and we consider this function

f(x) = (36/x) + x

The goal is to find when f(x) is smallest, ie, we want to minimize the function.

If we were to graph out the function, we get the curve shown below.

To make things easier, we'll only focus on positive values of x.

The lowest part of the curve is what we're after. Using the "minimum" function/feature on the graphing calculator, we would then find the lowest point occurs at (6,12). This point is considered a local minimum because it's the lowest point in that given neighborhood of x values.

So the input x = 6 leads to the smallest output f(x) = 12.

This in turn means b = 6 is going to pair with a = 36/b = 36/6 = 6.

In short, a = 6 and b = 6.

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

As a check,

a*b = 6*6 = 36

a+b = 6+6 = 12

We can make a table of various values to help confirm that 12 is the smallest sum.

Side note: If you're not allowed to use a graphing calculator, then you'll need to use calculus.

How many mL of medication are needed to last 10 days if the dose of medication is 2.5 tsp TID (three times a day)?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

369.7 mL of medication

Step-by-step explanation:

How many mL of medication are needed to last 10 days if the dose of medication is 2.5 tsp TID (three times a day)?

From the above question,

The dosage of the medication =

2.5 tsp 3 times a day

= 2.5 × 3 = 7.5 tsp per day.

Since

1 day = 7.5 tsp

10 days = x tsp

Cross Multiply

x = 10 × 7.5 tsp

x = 75 tsp of medication for 10 days.

Step 2

It is important to note that:

1 tsp = 4.929 mL

75 tsp = x mL

Cross Multiply

x = 75 × 4.929 mL

x = 369.669 mL of medication

Approximately = 369.7 mL of medication
