Answer:

Pauld should place a maximum of 12 boxes in the elevator

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the sign is stated that the maximum weight that the elevator can carry is of 1000 pounds and each of the boxes of books weighs 80 pounds, and as he is not going to be inside the elevator you should divide the maximum weigh the elevator can carry by the weight of each box of books then you have

Maximum number of boxes =  \frac{1000}{80} = 12.5

He can maximum ride 12 boxes and a half, but if the boxes can't be divides he can just carry 12 boxes, because if he carries 13 the weight in the elevator will be of 1040, that beats the maximum capacity of the elevator.

Then he can maximum place 12 boxes in the elevator

1.     20 of 40 is 50%      20/40 = 1/2    1/2 = 50%

2.  It is 20% because 600 is 20% of 3000

3.   40% of 30 = 12   50 = 15    10% = 3 (get it)

4, 40% of 65 = 26    50%= 32.5 (get it)

Which is a solution to the equation?<br> (х-2)(х + 5) = 18?
jok3333 [9.3K]

\bf (x-2)(x+5)=18\implies \stackrel{\mathbb{F~O~I~L}}{x^2+3x-10}=18\implies x^2+3x-28=0 \\\\\\ (x-4)(x+7)=0\implies x= \begin{cases} 4\\ -7 \end{cases}

Kruka [31]

Answer:

k=20.

Explanation: First we find where f(x) has its local extrema: f'(x)=3x2−10x+3. The critical points are roots of the equation: 3x2−10x+3=0.

If u-ai + bj and v-ci + dj are vectors, then which of the following statements is not true?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that u-ai + bj and v-ci + dj are vectors

We have dot product

u.v = (ai+bj).(ci+dj) hence inner product of u and v.  So option a is true

The dot product of u and v is a scalar is true because dot product is always a scalar

The dot product of u and v is a vector. is false because dot product is only a scalar and has no direction and hence cannot be a vector

The dot product of u and v is given by the expression ac+bd

True because we multiply corresponding i components and j components and add.

So only C is not true.
