A circular garden has a circumference of 113 yards. Lars is digging a straight line along a diameter of the garden at a rate of

12 yards per hour. How many hours will it take him to dig across the garden? Use 3.14 for π and round the diameter to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = $2\pi r = \pi d$ , where r is radius, and d is diameter

d=113/3.14=35.987, which is approximately 36

At 12 yards per hour, it will take 36/12=3 hours

A rectangular field has an area 28800 sq meter. Its length is twice as long as its width. What is the length of its sides?

mina [271]

W= width L= length = 2W

Area of Rectangle= Length * Widthsubstitute the area and the value of L in the formula
28,800 m^2= 2W * W
28,800= 2W^2divide both sides by 2 in an effort to isolate the variable w
14,400= W^2take the square root of both sides
√14,400= W^2
we want the negative and positive root of the radicand (the number under the radical symbol - 14,400 in this case)
120= w OR -120= w

LENGTHL= 2W= 2(120)= 240 meters

ANSWER: The side lengths are W= 120 m; L= 240 m. Even though W= -120 too, it is not a valid solution in this case since a field cannot have a negative value.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y = 5x + 3?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

slope = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a lin in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

The slope of a line parallel to y = 5x + 3 is 5

Find the arc length of the given curve between the specified points. x = y^4/16 + 1/2y^2 from (9/16), 1) to (9/8, 2).

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The arc length is $\dfrac{21}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The given curve between the specified points is

$x=\dfrac{y^4}{16}+\dfrac{1}{2y^2}$

The points from $(\dfrac{9}{16},1)$ to $(\dfrac{9}{8},2)$

We need to calculate the value of $\dfrac{dx}{dy}$

Using given equation

$x=\dfrac{y^4}{16}+\dfrac{1}{2y^2}$

On differentiating w.r.to y

$\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(\dfrac{y^2}{16}+\dfrac{1}{2y^2})$

$\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{1}{16}\dfrac{d}{dy}(y^4)+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{d}{dy}(y^{-2})$

$\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{1}{16}(4y^{3})+\dfrac{1}{2}(-2y^{-3})$

$\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{y^3}{4}-y^{-3}$

We need to calculate the arc length

Using formula of arc length

$L=\int_{a}^{b}{\sqrt{1+(\dfrac{dx}{dy})^2}dy}$

Put the value into the formula

$L=\int_{1}^{2}{\sqrt{1+(\dfrac{y^3}{4}-y^{-3})^2}dy}$

$L=\int_{1}^{2}{\sqrt{1+(\dfrac{y^3}{4})^2+(y^{-3})^2-2\times\dfrac{y^3}{4}\times y^{-3}}dy}$

$L=\int_{1}^{2}{\sqrt{1+(\dfrac{y^3}{4})^2+(y^{-3})^2-\dfrac{1}{2}}dy}$

$L=\int_{1}^{2}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{y^3}{4})^2+(y^{-3})^2+\dfrac{1}{2}}dy}$

$L=\int_{1}^{2}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{y^3}{4}+y^{-3})^2}dy}$

$L= \int_{1}^{2}{(\dfrac{y^3}{4}+y^{-3})dy}$

$L=(\dfrac{y^{3+1}}{4\times4}+\dfrac{y^{-3+1}}{-3+1})_{1}^{2}$

$L=(\dfrac{y^4}{16}+\dfrac{y^{-2}}{-2})_{1}^{2}$

Put the limits

$L=(\dfrac{2^4}{16}+\dfrac{2^{-2}}{-2}-\dfrac{1^4}{16}-\dfrac{(1)^{-2}}{-2})$

$L=\dfrac{21}{16}$

Hence, The arc length is $\dfrac{21}{16}$
