The statement suppose <span>that r varies directly with s and inversely with t is best represented as:

r </span>α s/t

To make it into equality, we insert a proportionality constant, k:

r = ks/t

Using the initial conditions, we solve for k.

r = ks/t
<span>r = 2 when s = 3 and t = 12

2 = k(3)/12
k = 8

Thus, when </span><span>s = 5 and t = 4,
</span>
r = 8(5)/4
r = 10 -----> OPTION C

Mr. Jones wants to place a chimney on his roof. It is recommended that the chimney be set at a height of at least 30 feet. The h
Tom [10]

Absolute value of any number is always positive because it represent distance and distance will always positive.

To place chimney at  least 30 feet , the distance along the width of the roof  (x) will be  x = 17.5 feet or x = 2.5 feet.

Since, The height of the roof is described by the function f(x)=−4/3|x−10| + 40

Since, minimum height is 30 feet.

So , substitute f(x)=30 in above expression.

                 30=−4/3|x−10| + 40

                   4/3|x−10| = 10

                      |x−10|=30/4

                      |x−10| = 7.5

Taking positive case,

                           x−10 = 7.5

                           x = 17.5 feet

Taking negative case,

                          x−10 = - 7.5

                          x = 10 - 7.5

                          x = 2.5 feet

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

41 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be x and x + 1

=> x + x + 1 = 85

=> 2x + 1 = 85

=> 2x = 84

=> x = 84/2

=> x = 41

Integers are :
