Answer:

The ribbon is 28.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the box is 5m high, 6m long, and 8m wide,

we have a right angled triangle with hypotenuse = unknown, x, say

Opposite = 5m and 8m

Then, by Pythagoras theorem

x² = 5² + 8²

x² = 25 + 64

x² = 89

x = √89 ≈ 9.4m

The ribbon is now (5 + 6 + 8 + 9.4)m = 28.4m

The acceleration of the particle is given by the formula mentioned below:

a=\frac{d^2s}{dt^2}

Differentiate the position vector with respect to t.

\begin{gathered} \frac{ds(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\sqrt[]{\mleft(t^3+1\mright)} \\ =-\frac{1}{2}(t^3+1)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\times3t^2 \\ =\frac{3}{2}\frac{t^2}{\sqrt{(t^3+1)}} \end{gathered}

Differentiate both sides of the obtained equation with respect to t.

\begin{gathered} \frac{d^2s(t)}{dx^2}=\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2t}{\sqrt[]{(t^3+1)}}+t^2(-\frac{3}{2})\times\frac{1}{(t^3+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}) \\ =\frac{3t}{\sqrt[]{(t^3+1)}}-\frac{9}{4}\frac{t^2}{(t^3+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}} \end{gathered}

Substitute t=2 in the above equation to obtain the acceleration of the particle at 2 seconds.

\begin{gathered} a(t=1)=\frac{3}{\sqrt[]{2}}-\frac{9}{4\times2^{\frac{3}{2}}} \\ =1.32ft/sec^2 \end{gathered}

The initial position is obtained at t=0. Substitute t=0 in the given position function.

\begin{gathered} s(0)=-23\times0+65 \\ =65 \end{gathered}

A flower shop acquired 80 new customers last year. Costs in the marketing and sales areas were the following:
icang [17]

Using proportions, it is found that the Customer Acquisition Cost was of $1,215.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, the customer acquisition cost is the spending in sales divided by the number of customers added.

80 customers were added, considering costs of 1200 + 9000 + 87000 = $97,200, hence:

97200/80 = $1,215.

erik [133]

Answer:

5 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

* is multiplication

1 3/4 is 1.75

so

24/1.75 = 72/×

1.75 * 72 = 24 * x

126 = 24x

24x = 126

x = 5.25 or 5 1/4
