A farmer was counting his chickens and pigs. He had 16 animals in all and counted 54 legs. How many chickens does he have

Answer:

5 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set chickens and pigs with variables "c" and "p" respectively.

We know there a 16 animals in all, so there are:

c+p=16

We know there are 54 legs and chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs each:

2c+4p=54

Now we have our system of equations:

c+p=16

2c+4p=54

We are trying to find the number of chickens, so we write the first equation in respect to c.

p=16-c

Substituting the first derived equation to equation two:

2c+64-4c=54

Simplifying:

64-2c=54

2c=10

c=5

So there are 5 chickens.

For the polygon, use Euler's Formula to find the missing number. Faces:? edges:13 vertices:8
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

F = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Euler's formula relating faces, edges, vertices is

V - E + F = 2

8 - 13 + F = 2

- 5 + F = 2

F = 5 + 2

F = 7

Find an equation of the plane. The plane that passes through the line of intersection of the planes x − z = 3 and y + 4z = 1 and
Nata [24]

Answer:

• 3x +y +z = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross product of the normals of the intersecting planes will give a vector that is parallel to the line of intersection.

(1, 0 -1) × (0, 1, 4) = (1, -4, 1) . . . . using an appropriate calculator

Since this line is in the desired plane, it will be perpendicular to the desired plane's normal vector. The reference perpendicular plane likewise has its normal vector perpendicular to that of the desired plane. Hence the normal vector of the desired plane is perpendicular to both (1, -4, 1) and (1, 1, -4). It can be found from the cross product of these:

(1, -4, 1) × (1, 1, -4) = (15, 5, 5)

We can divide this by 5 to find our desired plane's normal vector: (3, 1, 1). To finish the equation of our plane, we need to know a point on the line of intersection. If we suppose z=0 at that point, then the remaining coordinates are ...

x -0 = 3 ⇒ x=3

y+4·0 = 1 ⇒ y=1

Using point (3, 1, 0) to find the constant in our plane's formula

3x +y +z = constant

we see it is ...

3·3 +1·1 +1·0 = constant = 10

The equation of the desired plane is ...

3x +y +z = 10

Recall the scenario about Eric's weekly wages in the lesson practice section. Eric's boss have been very impressed with his work
Alona [7]

Answer:  

1)\quad f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) D: x = [0, 24]

3) R: y = [0, 384]

4) see graph

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Eric's regular wage is $12 per hour for all hours less than 9 hours.

The minimum number of hours Eric can work each day is 0.

f(x) = 12x    for   0 ≤ x < 9

Eric's overtime wage is $18 per hour for 9 hours and greater.

The maximum number of hours Eric can work each day is 24 (because there are only 24 hours in a day).

f(x) = 18(x - 8) + 12(8)

    = 18x - 144 + 96

    = 18x - 48           for 9 ≤ x ≤ 24

The daily wage where x represents the number of hours worked can be displayed in function format as follows:

f(x)=\bigg\{\begin{array}{ll}12x&0\leq x

2) Domain represents the x-values (number of hours Eric can work).

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0 and the maximum he can work in one day is 24.

D:  0 ≤ x ≤ 24        →        D: x = [0, 24]

3) Range represents the y-values (wage Eric will earn).

Eric's wage depends on the number of hours he works. Use the Domain (given above) to find the wage.

The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0.

f(x) = 12x

f(0) = 12(0)

     =  0

The maximum hours he can work in one day is 24 <em>(although unlikely, it is theoretically possible).</em>

f(x) = 18x - 48

f(24) = 18(24) - 48

       = 432 - 48

       = 384

D:  0 ≤ y ≤ 384        →        D: x = [0, 384]

4) see graph.

Notice that there is an open dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 12x

and a closed dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 18x - 48

What is 5 1/2 - 1 2/3
user100 [1]

Answer:

3 5 /6

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 5 1 /2  to a improper fraction: 5 1/2 = 5 1/ 2

= 5 · 2 + 1 /2  = 10 + 1 /2  = 11 /2

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator 2. Whole number 5 equally 5 * 2 /2 = 10 /2

b) Add the answer from previous step 10 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 10 + 1 = 11

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 11) over the denominator 2.

Five and one half is eleven halfs

Conversion a mixed number 1 2 /3  to a improper fraction: 1 2/3 = 1 2/ 3  = 1 · 3 + 2 /3  = 3 + 2 /3 = 5 /3

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 3. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 3 /3 = 3 /3

b) Add the answer from previous step 3 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 3 + 2 = 5

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 3.

One and two thirds is five thirds

Subtract: 11 /2  - 5 /3 = 11 · 3 /2 · 3  - 5 · 2 /3 · 2  = 33 /6  - 10 /6  = 33 - 10 /6 = 23 /6

Simplify : 23/6   divide      =3 5/6
