Split 90 into two parts so tha one part is 4 times the other part

1 answer:

7 0

so, we'll end up with two parts, one being 4 times larger than the other, namely if the other is 1 slice, then the large part is 4 slices, meaning both parts will be on a 4:1 ratio.

well, simply enough, we can simply split 90 in (4+1) pieces, and then distribute accordingly to each part

$\bf \cfrac{\textit{large part}}{\textit{small part}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{ratio}{4:1}\qquad \cfrac{4\cdot \frac{90}{4+1}}{1\cdot \frac{90}{4+1}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 18}{1\cdot 18}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{72}{18}}$

A polygon has the following coordinates: A(3,1), B(5,3), C(2,5), D(-1,5), E(-4,3), F(-2,1). Find the length of DC.

nlexa [21]

To find the length of a line given two points, we are going to use the distance formula, which is defined below:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

( $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are the two points)

The points in this problem are (2, 5) and (-1, 5). We can find the distance of DC by substituting these values into the distance formula and simplifying, as shown below:

$D = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (5 - 5)^2$

Substitute values into formula

$D = \sqrt{(-3)^2}$

Combine like terms and then simplify $0^2$ to 0

$D = \sqrt{9}$

Compute $(-3)^2 = 9$

$D = 3$

Compute $\sqrt{9} = 3$

The length of DC is 3.

Find the equation of an exponential function in the form y = ab^x, given the points (0, 3) and (2, 108/25). Please simplify your

lilavasa [31]

We have the equation:

$y=a\cdot b^x$

We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.

The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.

$\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}$

Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:

$\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}$

Then, we can write the equation as:

$y=3\cdot(\frac{6}{5})^x$

A 11 inch by 8 inch piece of cardboard squares cut out of the corners and is folded up to make up an open-top-box. If the volume

Arada [10]

<h3>Answer: b. either 2.5 inches or about .716 inches</h3>

=====================================================

Work Shown:

I have attached two images below. The first shows figures 1 through 4. The second image shows figure 5.

Start with figure 1. Work your way left to right, top to bottom til you get to figure 4. This is the basic process to turn a flat piece of cardboard into a 3D folded box.

The dashed lines in figure 1 are x inches long.

Figure 2 is the result of cutting out the dashed lines you see in figure 1.

When you fold along the dashed lines in figure 2, you'll end up with something similar to figure 3.

Figure 4 is the completed open-top-box. In other words, this box does not have a lid.

The green portions in figures 3 and 4 indicate where the flaps used to be in reference to figure 2.

-------------------

Since those dashed lines in figure 1 were x inches long, this means that the distance from A to B is 11-x-x = 11-2x inches long.

This makes segment BD to be 8-2x inches long. We are subtracting off 2 copies of x each time for each dimension.

------------------

length = AB = 11-2x

width = BD = 8-2x

Since we want the length to be positive, this means 11-2x > 0 which solves to x < 5.5

Since we want the width to be positive, this means 8-2x > 0 which solves to x < 4

Overall, we must make x < 4 to make both inequalities 11-2x > 0 and 8-2x > 0 to be true at the same time.

Furthermore, x is some length itself, so it cannot be negative either. Therefore x > 0 or 0 < x

Combine 0 < x and x < 4 to get 0 < x < 4

The restriction 0 < x < 4 will be used later.

------------------

For now, let's compute the volume.

Volume = Length*Width*Height

Volume = (AB)*(BD)*x

Volume = (11-2x)*(8-2x)*x

Volume = (88-22x-16x+4x^2)*x

Volume = (88-38x+4x^2)*x

Volume = 88x-38x^2+4x^3

This is the algebraic way of representing the volume in terms of the cut length x

We want this volume to be 45 cubic inches. We set 88x-38x^2+4x^3 equal to 45 and solve for x

88x-38x^2+4x^3 = 45

4x^3-38x^2+88x-45 = 0

At this point we try to factor by grouping or we turn to a calculator. Cubics are often very difficult to solve by hand, so I recommend using a calculator (unless you can quickly spot how to factor by grouping, but I don't see a quick way of doing that). Note: based on the answer choices that aren't whole numbers (assuming choice C is a non-answer), this heavily implies we do not have rational roots, and therefore factoring over the rationals will be impossible. In other words, the answer choices tell us to immediately use a graphing calculator to find the roots.

Using geogebra (see figure 5), I find the three approximate roots to be

x = 0.716 (shown as point A)

x = 2.5 (point B)

x = 6.284 (point C)

Recall that earlier we made 0 < x < 4. The first two roots satisfy this inequality, but x = 6.284 is outside this range. So we ignore it. It looks like your teacher put 6.284 as a trick answer in choice A.
