One side of a square flower bed is 8 feet long. how many plants are needed if they are to be spaced 8 inches apart around the ou

tside of the bed?
Mathematics

Sloan [31]3 years ago

The side is 8 feet = 8*12 inches = 96 inches

Plants are needed if they are to be spaced 8 inches apart around the outside of the bed

96/8 = 12 ... so we need 12 plants on each side, please note it is including the corners.

If we not incluse corner, the flowers will be 10 each side.

Means total flower : 10 * 4 (each side) + 4(corner)

The total needed is 44 plants. : Answer

Hope that will help :)

In how many ways can a committee of 5 people be chosen from a total of 30 possible people?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:  142506

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of choices for people in committee = 30

The number of people need to be chosen =5

Since , here order doesn't matter, so we use combination.

The combination of r things taking from n at a time is given by :-

C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

Now, the number of possible combinations of 5 people be chosen from a total of 30 possible people :-

C(30,5)=\dfrac{30!}{(30-5)!5!}\\\\=\dfrac{30\times29\times28\times27\times26}{120}\\\\=142506

Hence, the committee can be made in 142506 ways.

The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If slate costs five times as much
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

x = ∛ 2*V/5  

y = ∛ 2*V/5

h  = V/ ∛ 4*V²/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the aquarium base is  x*y

We call c₁ cost per unit area of the sides, then cost per unit area of slate is equal 5c₁.

let call h the height of the aquarium then volume of the aquarium is:

V = x*y*h      where   h =  V / x*y

As the base is a rectangular one there are 2 sides x*h .  and 2 sides  y*h

According to this:

Ct (cost of aquarium )  = cost of the base  + cost of the sides

cₐ  ( cost of the base) = 5*c₁*x*y

c₆ (cost of the sides ) = c₁*2*x*h   +   c₁*2*y*h

C(t)  =  5*c₁*x*y +2* c₁*x* V/x*y  +  2* c₁*y* V/x*y    or

C(t)  =  5*c₁*x*y  + 2*c₁*V/y   *2*c₁* V/x

Taking partial derivatives en x and y we have:

C´(x)  =  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(y)  =  5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/y²

C´(x)  = C´(y)        ⇒  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²  =   5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/y²

or    5*y - 2*V/x²  =   5*x - 2*V/y²

(5*y*x² - 2*V)/x²  = ( 5*y²x - 2*V) /y²

(5*y*x² - 2*V)*y²  = ( 5*y²x - 2*V)*x²

5*y³*x² - 2*V*y²  =  5*y²x³  - 2*V*x²

5*y³*x² - 5*y²x³  =  2*V * ( y² - x²)

by symmetry  x =  y

Then using x = y  and plugging that value on the derivatives

C´(x) =  5*c₁*y - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(x) =  5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/x²

C´(x) = 0          ⇒     5*c₁*x - 2*c₁*V/x²  = 0

5*x  - 2*V/x² = 0      ⇒  5*x³ - 2*V = 0   ⇒   5*x³  = 2*V  ⇒ x³ = 2*V/5

x = ∛ 2*V/5       and   y = ∛ 2*V/5    and   h  =  V/ x*y    h  = V/ ∛ 4*V²/25

To one-one functions g and h are defined as follows.
Andreyy89

Answer:

  • 9
  • (x-8)/3
  • -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function for a set of ordered pairs can be found by swapping the x- and y-coordinates in each pair.

  g^{-1}(-1)=9\qquad\text{from the $g(x)$ ordered pair $(9, -1)$}

__

The inverse of a function expressed algebraically can be found by swapping the x- and y-variables and solving for y.

  h^{-1}(x)\qquad\text{is found from }x=h(y)\\\\x=3y+8\\x-8=3y\\\\y=\dfrac{x-8}{3}\\\\\boxed{h^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-8}{3}}

A function of its own inverse returns the original value:

  \boxed{\left(h\circ h^{-1}\right)(-1)=-1}
