She will have to buy 7 boxes of pencils and 5 boxes of erasers. 10*7=70 and 14*5=70

<span>10 = 2 x 5 
14 = 2 x 7 

In order to *cover* those two numbers, you need a 2, a 5 and a 7. 
2 x 5 x 7 
= 70 

That's the lowest common multiple. 

Now just divide to get the number of boxes. 
70 / 10 = 7 boxes of pencils 
70 / 14 = 5 boxes of erasers</span><span>

A car traveling at 28 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is its acceleration?
Alika [10]
The function that models the scenario is
v = init_v + acceleration * time

Plug the values into the equation,
0 = 28 + a * 7 => -28 = a * 7 => a = - 28/7 m/s.

A company manufactures aluminum mailboxes in the shape of a box with a half-cylinder top. The company will make 1960 mailboxes t
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

  7088 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the half-cylinder is half the area of a cylinder with the same dimensions. This half-cylinder has a radius of 0.3 m and a length of 0.8 m, so its area is ...

  A = πr(r +l) = π(0.3 m)(0.3 m+0.8 m) = 0.33π m² ≈ 1.0362 m²

The area of the bottom part of the box is the sum of its lateral area and its base area.

  lateral area = Ph = (2(0.6m +0.8m))(0.75 m) = 2.1 m²

  base area = lw = (0.8 m)(0.6 m) = 0.48 m²

The total area is then ...

  total area = half-cylinder area + lateral area + base area

  = 1.0362 m² +2.1 m² +0.48 m²

  = 3.6162 m²

__

The area for 1960 mailboxes will be 1960 times this area, or ...

  area for week's production = 1960 × 3.6162 m² = 7087.752 m²

It will take about 7088 square meters of aluminum to make these mailboxes.

Negative exponents in denominators can be evaluated using StartFraction 1 Over b Superscript negative and EndFraction nbsp equal
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

b Superscript positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents in the denominators can be evaluated by moving the function from the denominator to the numerator and changing the power from negative to the positive.

We have

1/b⁻² = b²

Moving the function with a power from denominator to numerator or from numerator to denominator changes the sign of the power. It is not equal to zero.

This is the property of exponents.

Let f(x)=−12(x+2)2+5 . What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−3 to x = 1?
aev [14]

Answer:

Average rate of change = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change over the interval (a,b) is given by;

[ f(b) - f(a)] / (b-a)........................where interval is (a,b)

(a,b) interval =(-3,1)

Where;

f(x)= -12 (x+2)² +5

f(a)=f(-3)=-12(-3+2)^2+5\\f(a)=f(-3)=-12(-1)^2+5\\f(a)=f(-3)=-12(1)+5\\=-12+5=-7\\\\\\f(b)=f(1)=-12(1+2)+5\\f(b)=f(1)=-12(3)+5\\=-36+5=-31\\\\f(b)-f(a)=-31--7=-24\\\\b-a=1--3=4\\\\f(b)-f(a)/b-a=\frac{-24}{4} =-6
