a truck that can carry no more than 6400 lb is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos. Each refrigerator weigh

s 250 lb and each piano weighs 475 lb. Write and graph an inequality to show how many refrigerators and how many pianos that truck could carry . WIll 12 refridgerators and 8 pianos overload the truck? Explain.

I'm not going to do the entire question, but I'll do the first part.

For the first part, you have to set up an inequality. Use context clues, such as no more than (the one used in this sentence) to figure out what the symbol should be for the inequality.
In this case, because it is NO MORE THAN 6400, it would be:

6400\leq250r + 475p

where r represents the # refrigerators, and p represents the # pianos


Now that you have the equation, make the graph, then for the 3rd part, plug in 12 and 8 to r and p to see if it keeps the inequality true.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer: 250 r+ 475p≤ 6400

12 refrigerators and 8 pianos will overload the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Truck capacity: 6400 (no more than means that the weight of the products must be equal to 6400 lbs or less) </em>
  • <em>Weight of one piano: 475 </em>
  • <em>Weight of one refrigerator: 250 </em>

So, the inequality that represents this case is :

250 r+ 475p≤ 6400

Where:

r = number of refrigerators

p = number of pianos

For 12 refrigerators and 8 pianos we simply replace the values:

250 (12) + 475 (8) ≤ 6400

3000+3800≤ 6400

6800≤ 6400

6800 lbs will overload truck.  Because 6800lbs exceeds the capacity of the truck.(6400 lb)

What is the equation of the parabola?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

y = -1/8 x² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabola opens vertically and vertex (h,k) = (0,5), pass point (4,3)

basic formula: y = a(x - h)² + k

y = a (x-0)² + 5

y = ax² + 5         pass (4,3)

3 = 16a + 5

a = (3-5)/16 = -1/8

equation: y = -1/8 x² + 5

check: pass another point (-4,3)

-1/8 * (-4)² + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -9 - 4 + 1 + 6 + ... + 66
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

If you prefer it a little more simplified:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}(5x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

First my favorite part, finding a pattern between the consecutive terms.

This is an arithmetic series because the terms are going up by 5 each time.

So arithmetic sequence, think linear equations:

x     |      y

1            -9

2           -4

3             1

4             6

..................

n             66

We are going to have to find that n but will will eventually...

The equation for a line in point slope form is y-y_1=m(x_x_1) where (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

We are already have the slope is 5 (the slope is the common difference in arithmetic sequence).

I'm going to use the first point (1,-9).

So the equation in point slope form is y-(-9)=5(x-1)

Subtract 9 on both sides:

y=5(x-1)-9

Now we need to know how many terms we are adding so what is x if y=66.

66=5(x-1)-9

Add 9 on both sides:

75=5(x-1)

Divide both sides by 5:

15=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

16=x

We have 16 terms in this sequence where the 16th term is 66.

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

You could simplify the 5(x-1)-9.

Distribute:  5x-5-9

Add like terms:  5x-14

The side lengths of a triangle are 5,√3,√28. Is the triangle a right triangle? How would I solve this?
spayn [35]

Answer:

it is a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

you would solve by using pythagorean theorem. Firstly you would find the square roots. Then write the pythagorean theorem out replacing the variables with the corresponding numbers. All you do for this is find the greatest number and that is c. Lastly you would add the square roots of a and b, if this equals 28 then they are equal. Ask more questions if I did not explain this clearly.
