Answer:

The longer part is <u>45 cm</u> long and the shorter part is <u>25 cm</u> long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 70 cm long stick is cut into two parts in such a way that the longer part is 20 cm longer than the shorter part.

Now, to find the length of each part of the stick.

Let the shorter part be x.

So, the longer part is x+20.

Total length of the stick = 70 cm.

Now, to get the length of each part we solve an equation:

(x)+(x+20)=70\\\\x+x+20=70\\\\2x+20=70\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 20\ we\ get:\\\\2x=50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\ we\ get:\\\\x=25.

<em>The length of the shorter part is 25 cm.</em>

Now, substituting the value of x:

x+20\\\\=25+20\\\\=45\ cm.

<em>The length of longer part is 45 cm.</em>

Therefore, the longer part is 45 cm long and the shorter part is 25 cm long.

the cost of running an appliance varies jointly as the number of watts used, the hours of operation, and the cost per kilo-watt
zhuklara [117]
Suppose:
C=cost
c=cost per kilo-watt hour
w=number of watts
h=number of hours
thus
C=kwhc
where:
k=constant of proportionality:
k=C/(whc)
but
C=15 when w=6000, h=10/60=1/6 hours, c=7.5 cents per kw/h
thus
k=15/(6000*1/6*7.5)
k=0.002
thus:
C=0.002(whc)
hence:
when 
h=70*2=140=140/6=70/3 hours the cost will be:
C=0.002(6000*70/3*7.5)
C=2100 cents
C=$21

Sketxh the graph of y=(x+3)^3 and state the points where the graph crosses the axes​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = (x + 3)³

To find where the graph crosses the x-axis, let y = 0 and solve for x:

0 = (x + 3)³

0 = (x + 3)    with a multiplicity of 3

-3 = x           with a multiplicity of 3.

Since multiplicity is an ODD number, the graph CROSSES the x-axis at x = -3

<em />

<u>Graph:</u>

  • Leading coefficient is POSITIVE so right side goes to +∞
  • Degree of polynomial is ODD so left side goes to -∞

<em>graph is attached</em>

At the city museum, child admission is $6.20 and adult admission is $9.50. On Friday, tickets were sold for a total sales of $10
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

98child tickets were sold that day

Step by step Explanation:

Let the number of children= A of the number of adult

Then

6.20C + 9.50A = 1082.0

From the question it was said that four times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold which implies that number of adult was FOUR times the children, then we can say

A= 4C

Then substitute into the above equation

6.20C + 9.50A = 1082.0

6.20C + 9.50(4C) = 1082.0

6.20C + 38C= 1082.0

44.2C =1082.0

C= 24.48

But we know that

A= 4C

A=4* 24.48

A= 97.9

Therefore ,98child tickets were sold that day
