An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref

inery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 7 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far from the refinery should P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

To minimize the cost, we take the straight distance from the refinery to the other side of the river as 2 km. Also, the 7 km will be the distance that has to be traveled by the pipeline in land. The total cost, C, is therefore,
               total cost =   (2 km)($800,000/km) + (7 km)($400,000 /km)
                    total cost = $4,400,000
Thus, the total cost of the pipeline is approximately $4,400,000.00.

Lorico [155]
The given equality hold true when x = 2.

Put x = 2 in inequality.

2(2) + 3 = 4+3 = 7 = R.H.S.

For x = 4 and 6, L.H.S(2x+3) is greater than 7.

Hence for x = 2, 4 and 6, the above inequality holds true.

Hope this helps!

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and your meal was $72.50, what should you leave for gratuninty if you want to tip your waite
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$10.88 or round up to $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 15 is expressed as a percent, you can convert it to a decimal.

.15, which can also be 15/100 if you were to write it as a fraction.

You are trying to find 15% of 72.50 so you would need to multiply your new decimal (.15) to your meal total. This will give you 10.875 or 10.88.

The area of the trapezoid is the product of the height and the average of the two bases:

<span>Since it's circular its area is π times the square of its radius, or 16π square yd. </span>

What are three collinear points in the figure below?
algol [13]

Answer:

B. W,V,Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinear points are two more points in the same plane that lie in a straight line.

From the diagram, Z is the intersection of the two diagonals of quadrilateral VXWY.

The points V, Z and W lie along the same diagonal, hence they are collinear.

The point y, Z, and X also lie along the same diagonal, these are also collinear.

The correct choice is B
