Let's begin by listing the first few multiples of 4:  4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38, 40, 44.  So, between 1 and 37 there are 9 such multiples:  {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36}.  Note that 4 divided into 36 is 9.

Let's experiment by modifying the given problem a bit, for the purpose of discovering any pattern that may exist:

<span>How many multiples of 4 are there in {n; 37< n <101}?  We could list and then count them:  {40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100}; there are 16 such multiples in that particular interval.  Try subtracting 40 from 100; we get 60.  Dividing 60 by 4, we get 15, which is 1 less than 16.  So it seems that if we subtract 40 from 1000 and divide the result by 4, and then add 1, we get the number of multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001:

1000
   -40
-------
 960

Dividing this by 4, we get 240.  Adding 1, we get 241.

Finally, subtract 9 from 241:  We get 232.

There are 232 multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001.

Can you think of a more straightforward method of determining this number? </span>

Image a right triangle with two points at these two locations and the hypothenuse as the distance between them.
Find the length straight down from the first point to the second: 10 units
Find the length to the right from the first point to the second: 10 units
Use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 10^2 = 200
√200 = 10√2 = 14.14 units

The temperature inside a certain industrial machine at time t seconds after startup, for 0 &lt; t &lt; 10, is given by h(t) = 42
frutty [35]

Answer:

t= \frac{125}{38} s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the temperature inside the machine from startup until 10 seconds later, the formula is:

h(t)= 42 \cdot t +1 - 4\cdot t +2  (degrees \, C)

We want to know at what time t the temperature inside the machine will be equal to 128 °C.

So we set:

h(t)=128

42\cdot t+1-4\cdot t+2=128

Now, we rearrange the equation to keep terms with t on the left hand side and terms without t on the right hand side

42\cdot t-4\cdot t=128-1-2

and we simplify:

(42-4)\cdot t= 128-2-1= 125

38 \cdot t = 125

now it's easy to solve for t:

t=\frac{125}{38}

And thus we arrive to the solution.
