Answer:

The mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration is 200 Kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A roller coaster train with 6 passenger cars and the front decoration has a mass of 3500 kg. when the train has the front decoration and only 4 passenger cars, it has a mass of 2400 kg.

To find : What is the mass of the decoration and of each passenger car?

Solution :

Let the mass of each passenger is x.

Let the mass of front decoration is y.

  • When the number of passenger = 6

Mass of 6 passengers and front decoration = 3500 kg.

The equation form is 6x+y=3500 ..........[1]

  • When the number of passengers = 4

Mass of 4 passengers and front decoration = 2400 kg.

The equation form is 4x+y=2400  ........[2]

Solving equation [1] and [2]

Subtract equation [2] from [1],

6x+y-4x-y=3500-2400

2x=1100

x=550

Put value in [1],

6(550)+y=3500

3300+y=3500

y=200

Therefore, The mass of each passenger is 550 kg.

The mass of front decoration is 200 Kg.

Find the length of the radius of the circle, which is inscribed into a right trapezoid with lengths of bases a and b.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

  r = (ab)/(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached sketch. The diagram shows base b at the bottom and base a at the top. The height of the trapezoid must be twice the radius. The point where the slant side of the trapezoid is tangent to the inscribed circle divides that slant side into two parts: lengths (a-r) and (b-r). The sum of these lengths is the length of the slant side, which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg equal to 2r and the other leg equal to (b-a).

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the relation ...

  ((a-r) +(b-r))^2 = (2r)^2 +(b -a)^2

  a^2 +2ab +b^2 -4r(a+b) +4r^2 = 4r^2 +b^2 -2ab +a^2

  -4r(a+b) = -4ab . . . . . . . . subtract common terms from both sides, also -2ab

  r = ab/(a+b) . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r

The radius of the inscribed circle in a right trapezoid is r = ab/(a+b).

_____

The graph in the second attachment shows a trapezoid with the radius calculated as above.

(2.05) Choose the missing step in the given solution to the inequality −x − 10 &gt; 14 + 2x. (1 point) −x − 10 &gt; 14 + 2x −3x
sleet_krkn [62]
-x-10>14+2x
Add x for both side
-x+x-10>14+2x+x
-10>14+3x
Subtract 14 for both side
-10-14>14+3x-14
-24>3x
Divided 3 for both side
-24/3>3x/3
-8>x
x<-8
Or
-x-10>14-2x
-3x-10>14
-3x>24
x<-8.
Um, we see that there is one step that are missing which is:
-3x>24. Hope it help!
