stone bench is 3 3/8 in. Each of the two supporting legs is made up of three stacked stones. Two of the stones measure 3 1/2in. and 5 1/4 in. how much must the third stone measure?

Answer:

x = tex]5\frac{\textup{7}}{\textup{8}}\ in[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total height of the bench = 18 in

Depth of the stone bench = 3\frac{\textup{3}}{\textup{8}}\ in = \frac{\textup{27}}{\textup{8}}\ in  = 3.375 in

Measure of stones = 3\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}\ in = \frac{\textup{7}}{\textup{2}}\ in  = 3.5 in

measure of another stone =  5\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{4}}\ in = \frac{\textup{21}}{\textup{4}}\ in  = 5.25 in

let the height of the third stone be 'x'

Now,

The total height of the bench = depth of bench + Measure of two stones + x

18 = 3.375 + 3.5 + 5.25 + x

or

x = 18 - 12.125

or

x = 5.875 in

or

x = tex]5\frac{\textup{7}}{\textup{8}}\ in[/tex]

ladessa [460]
Lets write as an equation the info provided in the problem:
original area = 200*300 = 60000 squared meters
Adding x meters to the length is: 300 + x
Adding x meters to the width is: 200 + x
If the area doubles in size we have: 2*<span>60000
Now writing as a single equation all info:
(300 + x)(200 + x) = 120000
We have to make the operations and solve:
60000 + 300x + 200x + x^2 = </span><span>120000
x^2 + 500x - 60000 = 0
This is a squared trinomial, to solve it we need two numbers that subtracted give us 500 and multiplied -60000:
(x + 600)(x -100) = 0
So there are two solutions, x = -600 and x = 100, we choose the positive one:
x = 100
thererefore the value of x is 100 meters</span>

A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Middletown. The company pays a flat fee of $1
Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

To reach the breakeven point, how many attendees will that take?  <u>   117   </u>

What will be the company's total expenses and revenues?  <u>    $1755  for each   </u>

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

Explanation:

x = number of attendees

C(x) = cost function for the company

C(x) = 14x+117

This is because the company pays $14 per person, so x of them accounts for 14x dollars. Then we add on the flat fee of $117 to get 14x+117 dollars overall.

In contrast, the revenue is

R(x) = 15x

because each attendee brings in $15 for the company

The breakeven point is when the cost and revenue are the same. This produces a profit of $0.

R(x) = C(x)

15x = 14x+117

15x-14x = 117

x = 117

If 117 people attend the seminar, then the company breaks even.

To check this, we'll compute the cost and revenue

C(x) = 14x+117

C(117) = 14*117+117

C(117) = 1755

R(x) = 15x

R(117) = 15*117

R(117) =  1755

The cost and revenue is $1755 for each. Because we get the same value, this confirms the correct x value.

Since 117 people is the breakeven point, the company should aim for an attendee count above this, so they can get a positive profit. At some point, there is a max capacity so x can't go up forever.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = x^4 + 12x^3 + 14x^2 -132x + 123

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we simply will place g(x) into f(x)

So every x in f(x) is replaced by g(x)

Thus, we have;

(x^2 + 6x + 11)^2 + 2

= (x^2+6x-11)(x^2 + 6x -11) + 2

= x^4 + 6x^3 -11x^2 + 6x^3 + 36x^2 - 66x -11x^2 -66x + 121 + 2

= x^4 + 12x^3 + 14x^2 -132x + 123
