Vedant received two quotes for new carpet for his home. The quote from Company A is $0.15 less per square foot than the quote fr

om Company B. If Vedant plans to buy 1,200 square feet of carpet, how do his total costs from the two companies compare? Company A is cheaper by $180. Company B is cheaper by $180. Company A is cheaper by $8,000. Company B is cheaper by $8,000.

1200 x 0.15 = 180

so company a is cheaper by 180 dollars

Answer:

Company A is cheaper by $ 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The quote from Company A is $0.15 less per square foot than the quote from Company B,

That is,

Quote from Company B for 1 square foot - quote from Company A for 1 square foot = $ 0.15

Quote from Company B for 1200 square feet - quote from Company A for 12 square feet = 1200 × 0.15 = $ 180,

Hence, for buying 1,200 square feet of carpet company A is cheaper by $180 than company B.

First option is correct.

Find the distance between a point (– 2, 3 – 4) and its image on the plane x+y+z=3 measured across a line (x + 2)/3 = (2y + 3)/4

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Distance of the point from its image = 8.56 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Co-ordinates of point is (-2, 3,-4)

Let's say

$x_1\ =\ -2$

$y_1\ =\ 3$

$z_1\ =\ -4$

Distance is measure across the line

$\dfrac{x+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2y+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3z+4}{5}$

So, we can write

$\dfrac{x-x_1+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2(y-y_1)+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3(z-z_1)+4}{5}\ =\ k$

$=>\ \dfrac{x-(-2)+2}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2(y-3)+3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3(z-(-4))+4}{5}\ =\ k$

$=>\ \dfrac{x+4}{3}\ =\ \dfrac{2y-3}{4}\ =\ \dfrac{3z+16}{5}\ =\ k$

$=>\ x\ =\ 3k-4,\ y\ =\ \dfrac{4k+3}{2},\ z\ =\ \dfrac{5k-16}{3}$

Since, the equation of plane is given by

x+y+z=3

The point which intersect the point will satisfy the equation of plane.

So, we can write

$3k-4+\dfrac{4k+3}{2}+\dfrac{5k-16}{3}\ =\ 3$

$=>6(3k-4)+3(4k+3)+2(5k-16)\ =\ 18$

$=>18k-24+12k+9+10k-32\ =\ 18$

$=>\ k\ =\dfrac{13}{8}$

So,

$x\ =\ 3k-4$

$=\ 3\times \dfrac{13}{8}-4$

$=\ \dfrac{7}{4}$

$y\ =\ \dfrac{4k+3}{2}$

$=\ \dfrac{4\times \dfrac{13}{8}+3}{2}$

$=\ \dfrac{19}{4}$

$z\ =\ \dfrac{5k-16}{3}$

$=\ \dfrac{5\times \dfrac{13}{8}-16}{3}$

$=\ \dfrac{-21}{8}$

Now, the distance of point from the plane is given by,

$d\ =\ \sqrt{(x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2+(z-z_1)^2}$

$=\ \sqrt{(-2-\dfrac{7}{4})^2+(3-\dfrac{19}{4})^2+(-4+\dfrac{21}{8})^2}$

$=\ \sqrt{(\dfrac{-15}{4})^2+(\dfrac{-7}{4})^2+(\dfrac{9}{8})^2}$

$=\ \sqrt{\dfrac{225}{16}+\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{81}{64}}$

$=\ \sqrt{\dfrac{1177}{64}}$

$=\ 4.28$

So, the distance of the point from its image can be given by,

D = 2d = 2 x 4.28

= 8.56 unit

So, the distance of a point from it's image is 8.56 units.

4 loads of stone weigh 2/3 ton. Find the weight of 1 load of stone.

Zina [86]

<span>For computing this, follow this method: 4 loads of stone weigh 2/3 ton. 4loads---------------------2/3 1load---------------------? So it will be computed as 1x 2/3 /4 = 2/3x4= 1/3x2=1/6 the weight of 1 load of stone is 1/6 ton Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
