Answer:

  • x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds.

Explanation:

The table is:

AIRPLANE LIFTING FORCE

Area of Wings   Lifting Force

(square feet)        (pounds)

    125                    1,875

    150                   2,250

    175                   2,625

    250                  3,750

       x                    5,625

    420                      y

The ratio of lifting force to the area is equivalent for all pairs in the table. What are the values of x and y?

<u>1. Calculate x:</u>

Ratio of lifting force to the area for the first pair (row):

  • 125/1,875

Ratio of lifting force to area for the pair with x:

  • x/5,625

Set the proportion:

Equal the two ratios

  • x/5,625 = 125/1,875

Multiply both sides by 5,625 (multiplication property of equalities):

  • x = 5,625 × 125/1,875
  • x = 375 ← answer

<u>2. Calculate y:</u>

You can use the same know ratio for the first pair: 125/1,875

And set the corresponding proportion, with y:

  • 420/y = 125/1,875

Invert both sides:

  • y/420 = 1,875/125

Multiply both sides by 420

  • y = 420 × 1,875/125
  • y = 6,300 ← answer

The answer is x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds.

Marie purchased a 29.00 gift. She uses a coupon that offers 30 percent. How much will she spend on the gift after the coupon?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

$20.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual price of the gift is $29.00

Marie will get 30% DISCOUNT on this price if she uses her coupon. So, the final price would be 30% less than $29.00

First, we need to find 30% of $29.00. Then we need to subtract that from original price (29).

Convert percentage to decimal first:

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now multiply this with 29 to get:

0.3 * 29 = $8.70

We subtract this from original price to get DISCOUNTED PRICE:

$29.00 - $8.70 = $20.30

Convert 45° from degrees to radians.
leonid [27]
<h2>pi divided by four</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle in degrees be a

Let the angle in radians be r

If a is the angle in degrees and r is the angle in radians,

a\times \frac{\pi }{180}=r

It is given that the a=45

r=\frac{\pi}{180}\times a= \frac{\pi}{180}\times 45=\frac{\pi}{4}

So,r=\frac{\pi}{4}

Can we combine different functions (quadratic, linear, exponential, cube root) into one piecewise function? If the answer is yes
yanalaym [24]

Answer: yes, because it is useful to describe changes in the behavior of the thing we are describing.

Step-by-step explanation:

A piecewise function f(x) is a function that is "different" depending on the range of the values of x, this is for example:

y = x -----> if x < 0

y = x^2 ----- if x ≥ 0

This is used to represent changes in the behavior of the thing we are describing.

For example, suppose an object that is moving with constant velocity, the velocity graph will be a constant line.

Now, the object suddenly, at a time t = t0 accelerates to a constant acceleration A, now the graph of the velocity is a linear graph with slope equal to A.

So this situation can be represent this with a piecewise function:

V(t) = c -----> if t < t0

V(t) = c + A*t -----> if t ≥ t0

So the answer is yes, we can.
