A machine stamps 360 metal parts in 15 minutes. Find the unit rate in parts per hour

2 answers:

5 0

Just divide the number of parts made by the number of hours to get parts per hour. 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so we divide 360 by 0.25 hours:

$(\frac{360\ parts}{0.25\ hours}) = 1440\ parts\ per\ hour$

15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour which is .25 hours
so all you got to do is divided the total number of metal parts divided .25 hours
360/.25=1440 metal parts in one hour

The 17th term of an Arithmetic sequence is 51. If the commons difference is 7, what is the first term ?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The first term is:

$a_1=-61$

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is defined by

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

where

$a_1$ is the first term

$d$ is the common difference

the 17th term of an arithmetic sequence is 51.

i.e. $a_{17}=51$

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

$a_{17}=a_1+\left(17-1\right)d$

$51=a_1+\left(17-1\right)7$ ∵ $n = 17$ , $a_{17}=51$ , $d=7$

$a_1+112=51$ ∵ $\left(17-1\right)\cdot \:\:7=112$

$a_1=-61$

Therefore, the first term is:

$a_1=-61$

Find the value of k for which the line y = kx + 6 is a tangent to the curve x^2 + y^2 – 10x + 8y = 84

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

k = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

input y = kx +6 into the equation of the curve x² + y² – 10x + 8y = 84

x² + (kx + 6)² - 10x + 8(kx + 6) = 84

expand:

x² + k²x² + 12kx + 36 - 10x + 8kx + 48 = 84

simplify by collecting like terms:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 = 84

subtract 84 on both sides to bring it to the left:

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x + 84 - 84 = 0

x² + k²x² + 20kx - 10x = 0

factorise out x:

x²(1 + k²) + x(20k - 10) = 0

using the discriminant b² - 4ac where b is 20k - 10, a is 1 + k² and c is 0, substitute them in the formula b² - 4ac:

b² - 4ac

(20k - 10)² - 4(1 + k²)(0) = 0

the part highlighted in bold is gone because it's all multiplied by 0, so we are left with (20k - 10)² = 0

(20k - 10)² is the same as

(20k - 10)(20k - 10)

equate both to 0

20k - 10 = 0 and 20k - 10 = 0

add 10 on both sides

20k = 10 and 20k = 10

divide 20 on both sides

k = 10/20 and k = 10/20 which are both the same

10/20 is simplified to 1/2

k = 1/2

If Kendra started working at 10:30 a.m. and left at 6:15 p.m., how many hours of work should she record for the day on her time

Tom [10]

<span>From 12 PM to 6 PM is 6 hours From 11 AM to 12 PM is 1 hour We are left with 30 minutes (from 10:30 AM to 11 AM) + 15 minutes (from 6 PM to 6:15 PM), so total time (add up what we have) is 7 hours and 45 minutes.</span>

Please help to find an explicit formula for calculating the sum Mn

defon

The explicit formula for calculating the sum is

$S_N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} \cdot\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

The sum of the nth term of a sequence is expressed as;

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)$

a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the number of terms

For the sequence 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 +...

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2(0)+(n-1)1)\\S_n= \frac{n}{2}(n-1)\\S_n= \frac{n(n-1)}{2}$

Similarly for the sequence:

1 + 2+ 3 + 4+...

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}(2(1)+(n-1)1)\\S_n= \frac{n}{2}(2+n-1)\\S_n= \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

Taking the product of the sum to get the explicit formula for calculating the sum

$S_N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2} \cdot\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$

A store is having a 15% sale on movies. A movie is on sale for 22.10, what is the original price of the movie?

Westkost [7]

15% sale so 22.11 its 85% of original price. To solve this problem we can use proportion
22.10----------85%
x----------------100%
crossmultiply
85x=22.1/*100
85x=2210 /:85
x=26$- its the answer
