Premier Bank is planning to have a new building constructed. They would like the length of the building to be 40 feet longer tha

n its width. To fit their needs, each floor of the building will add 12 feet to the height of the building. The cost of the foundation of the building will be $10 per square foot. The cost for each successive floor of the building will be $35,000. They plan to spend $1,180,000 on construction. They would also like the perimeter of the building to be 3 times the height of the building. Create a system of equations to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

Let L, W, F, H, P represent, respectively, the length, width, number of floors, height, and perimeter of the building. Here are some equations that model the given information.

  • L = W + 40
  • H = 12×F
  • foundation cost = 10×L×W
  • cost of floors = 35000×F
  • total cost = foundation cost + cost of floors
  • total cost = 1,180,000
  • P = 2×(L+W)
  • P = 3×H

We can rewrite these into a system of equations involving L, W, F.

Let's look first at the relation between the perimeter and height. The two versions of perimeter are equal to each other, so we have (after substituting for H) ...

... 3H = 2(L+W)

... 3(12F) = 2((W +40) +W) . . . . substitute for H and L

... 36F = 4W +80 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

... 9F = W +20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

Now, we can look at the cost equations.

... 1180000 = 35000F + 10W(W+40) . . . . . substitute for the various cost terms and for L

... 118000 = 3500F +W² +40W . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The two simplified equations in W and F are ...

  • 9F = W +20
  • 3500F = 118000 -40W -W²

You can solve the first for F and substitute for F in the second. Then you have a quadratic equation in W that can be solved by the usual methods. (Likely, the quadratic formula would be the best choice.) Here, we have elected to let a graphing calculator show the two solutions. One solution has negative dimensions, so is clearly infeasible.

There is one (nearly feasible) solution:

... W ≈ 180.788

... F ≈ 22.31

There is no combination of floor dimensions and integral numbers of floors that will match <em>all</em> of the problem requirements.

_____

A solution that comes about as close as possible is ...

  • length = 221 ft
  • width = 181 ft
  • perimeter = 804 ft
  • # of floors = 22
  • height = 264 ft . . . . . (3×height = 792 ft vs. 804 ft)
  • cost = $1,170,010 . . . (vs. 1,180,000)

a car travels 2 5/8 miles in 3 1/2 minutes at a constant speed. Write an equation to represent the distance, d, that the car tra
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2 5/8 miles by 3 1/2 minutes to obtain the unit rate (miles per minute):

2 5/8 miles

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

3 1/2 minutes


First, convert 2 5/8 miles and 3 1/2 minutes to improper fractions:

21/8 miles             21/8 miles

------------------  =  ----------------------  =  21/20 miles/minute

5/2 minutes         20/8 minutes


The constant rate is (21/20) miles/minute, or 1.05 miles/minute.

Thus, the equation representing the distance, d, that the car travels in m minutes is

d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m

An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 1. One person takes two marbles at random from the urn and does not replace th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A) The best way to picture this problem is with a probability tree, with two steps.

The first branch, the person can choose red or blue, being 2 out of five (2/5) the chances of picking a red marble and 3 out of 5 of picking a blue one.

The probabilities of the second pick depends on the first pick, because it only can choose of what it is left in the urn.

If the first pick was red marble, the probabilities of picking a red marble are 1 out of 4 (what is left of red marble out of the total marble left int the urn) and 3 out of 4 for the blue marble.

If the first pick was the blue marble, there is 2/4 of chances of picking red and 2/4 of picking blue.

B) So a person can have a red marble and a blue marble in two ways:

1) Picking the red first and the blue last

2) Picking the blue first and the red last

C) P(R&B) = 3/5 = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

C) P(R&B) = P(RB) + P(BR) = (2/5)*(3/4) + (3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 3/5
