Sophia is 12 years old. Her Uncle Reynald tells her that if she adds 5 to her age, multiplies the sum by 3, and then subtracts 4

from the product, she will find his age. She tells him that his age equals the expression 12 + 5 × 3 − 4 .
Is Sophia correct?

No, according to PEMDAS, that expression would be the same as saying 12+(5*3)-4, not the correct expression: (12+5)*3-4.

A 40-m-long chain hangs vertically from a cylinder attached to a winch. Assume there is no friction in the system and the chain
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) W₁ = 78400 [J]

b)Wt = 82320 [J]  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) W = ∫ f*dl      general expression for work

If we have a chain with density of 10 Kg/m, distributed weight would be

9.8 m/s² * 10 kg   = mg

Total length of th chain is 40 m, and the function of y at any time is

f(y) = (40 - y ) mg   where ( 40 - y ) is te length of chain to be winded

At the beggining we have to wind 40 meters   y = 0 at the end of the proccess  y = 40 and there is nothing to wind then:

f(y) = mg* (40 - y )

W₁ =  ∫f(y) * dy    ⇒ W₁ = ∫₀⁴⁰ mg* (40 - y ) dy  ⇒ W₁ = mg [ ∫₀⁴⁰ 40dy - ∫₀⁴⁰ ydy

W₁ = mg [ 40*y |₀⁴⁰   -  1/2 * y²  |₀⁴⁰    ⇒  W₁ = mg* [ 40*40 - 1/2 (40)² ]

W₁ = mg * [1/2]     W₁ = 10*9,8* ( 800 )

W₁ = 78400 [J]

b) Now we can calculate work to do if we have a 25 block and the chain is weightless

W₂ = ∫ mg* dy     ⇒    W₂  = ∫₀⁴⁰ mg*dy   ⇒    W₂  = mg y |₀⁴⁰

W₂ = mg* 40   = 10*9.8* 40  

W₂ = 3920 [J]

Total work

Wt = W₁  +  W₂        ⇒    Wt = 78400 + 3920

Wt = 82320 [J]

A positive integer is twice another. The sum of the reciprocals of the two positive integers is 3/10 find the integers
Brut [27]

x = 2y

1/x + 1/y = 3/10

Since we have a value for x, let's plug it into the second equation.

1/2y + 1/y = 3/10

Now, let's make the denominators equal.

Multiply the second term by 2.

1/2y + 2/2y = 3/10

Multiply the final term by 0.2y

1/2y + 2/2y = 0.6y/2y

Compare numerators after adding.

3 = 0.6y

Divide both sides by 0.6

<h3>y = 5</h3>

Now that we have the value of the second integer, we can find the first.

x = 2y

x = 2(5)

<h3>x = 10</h3>

Let's plug in these values in our equations to verify.

10 = 2(5) √ this is true

1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10 √ this is true

<h3>The first integer is equal to 10, and the second is equal to 5.</h3>
