A copy machine makes 24 copies per minute. How long does it take to make 114 copies?

Mathematics

A copy machine makes 24 copies per minute is already given. So the question becomes easy because of this part. the only thing that needs to be noticed are the minute details given in the question, otherwise it is an absolutely simple problem.
24 copies can be copied by the copy machine in = 1 minute
Then
114 copies will be copied by the machine in = (1/24) * 114 minutes
                                                                       = 114/24 minutes
                                                                       = 4.75 minutes
So the copy machine has the capacity to copy 114 copies in 4.75 minutes.

Evaluate the following limit:
Makovka662 [10]

If we evaluate the function at infinity, we can immediately see that:

        \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{\displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{(x^2 + 1)^2 - 3x^2 + 3}{x^3 - 5}} = \frac{\infty}{\infty}} \end{gathered}$}

Therefore, we must perform an algebraic manipulation in order to get rid of the indeterminacy.

We can solve this limit in two ways.

<h3>Way 1:</h3>

By comparison of infinities:

We first expand the binomial squared, so we get

                         \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{x^4 - x^2 + 4}{x^3 - 5}} = \infty \end{gathered}$}

Note that in the numerator we get x⁴ while in the denominator we get x³ as the highest degree terms. Therefore, the degree of the numerator is greater and the limit will be \infty. Recall that when the degree of the numerator is greater, then the limit is \infty if the terms of greater degree have the same sign.

<h3>Way 2</h3>

Dividing numerator and denominator by the term of highest degree:

                            \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf L  = \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^{4}-x^{2} +4  }{x^{3}-5  }  \end{gathered}$}\\

                                \ \  = \lim_{x \to \infty\frac{\frac{x^{4}  }{x^{4} }-\frac{x^{2} }{x^{4}}+\frac{4}{x^{4} }    }{\frac{x^{3} }{x^{4}}-\frac{5}{x^{4}}   }  }

                                \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{1-\frac{1}{x^{2} } +\frac{4}{x^{4} }  }{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{5}{x^{4} }  }  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =\frac{1}{0}=\infty } \end{gathered}$}

Note that, in general, 1/0 is an indeterminate form. However, we are computing a limit when x →∞, and both the numerator and denominator are positive as x grows, so we can conclude that the limit will be ∞.

Roy and Sam start solving the equation as follows.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

-3x+4=5x-6

According to the addition property of equality a=b and a+c=b+c are equivalent equations.

Use addition property of equality, add 3x on both the sides.

-3x+4+3x=5x-6+3x

4=8x-6

Therefore Sam's work is incorrect because he make calculation mistake.

According to the subtraction property of equality a=b and a-c=b-c are equivalent equations.

Use subtraction property of equality, subtract 5x from both the sides.

-3x+4-5x=5x-6-5x

-8x+4=-6

Therefore Roy's work is correct because he used subtraction property.

Option D is correct.

1. Joshua has a ladder that is 17 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The question is asking to solve a problem that'll "add up", or in other words, makes sense; through the use of Trigonometric functions. The leaning ladder is the hypotenuse of 17ft, adjacent to that is a wall that measures 16.5ft above the ground. The angle both sides make must be <=70°. The function here is Opposite over Hypotenuse i.e 16.5/17 . We use the inverse operation of Sin which is Sin^(-1) to find if the angle is < or = to 70°. Using a calculator, we find the angle to be 76.06°, which is > more than, 70°.

Thus, the ladder will not be safe for its height and therefore won't make sense.

A car travels 65 km in 45 minutes what is the average speed of the car in km/h
nekit [7.7K]
So to begin your problem, you know that your car already has an average which is 65km/45 mins. The problem wants you to change this to km/hr. This means that you need to convert minutes to hours. A simple way to do this is by using fractions. 
Set your problem up with fractions similar to this:
65km/45 mins x 60 mins/1 hr.
the whole point is to cancel out your minutes, and leave the hours as your new unit for the denominator
65km/45 x 60/1 hr. 
now you want to reduce (I divided the first fraction by 5)
13km/9 x 60/1 hr.
780km/9hrs. 
That would be your answer. If someone can double check my math that would be fantastic.
