Answer:

No, the piece of Wood will not follow.

a) Volume = 0.00105 m³

b) Density of Wood = 1200 kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

For the piece of wood to float on salt water, the density of the wood should be less than 1030kg/m³

First we'll calculate the volume of the piece of wood, which later we'll use to find the density.

<h3>a) Volume of Wood</h3>

Volume is given by 7 cm × 10 cm × 15 cm

Convert all the values into meters.

7 cm = 7/100 = 0.07 m

10 cm = 10/100 = 0.10 m

15 cm = 15/100 = 0.15 m

Calculate Volume:

Volume = 0.07 m × 0.1 m × 0.15 m

Volume = 0.00105 m³

<h3>b) Density of Wood</h3>

Formula for density is given by

Density = Mass / Volume

Where

Volume = 0.00105 m³

Mass =  1260 g = 1260/100 = 1.260 kg

Density = 1.260 kg/0.00105 m³

Density of Wood = 1200 kg/m³

As Density of Wood ≥ Density of Salt water , the piece of Wood will not float.

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) x^4-24x^2-25
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = ±5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following polynomial function and we are to find all of its real roots:

x^4-24x^2-25

Let y=x^2 so we can now write it as:

y^2-24y-25

Factorizing it to get:

(y^2+y)+(-25y-25)

y\left(y+1\right)-25\left(y+1\right)

\left ( y + 1 \right ) \left ( y - 2 5 \right)

Substitute back y=x^2 to get:

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x^2 - 25 \right )

\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x + 5 \right ) \left ( x - 5 \right )

The quadratic factor has only complex roots. Therefore, the real roots are x = ±5.

You are hired to work at quickie-mart and will be paid $9.50 per hour 1. Write an income function that describes the amount of m
zzz [600]

Answer:

f(x)=nx

or

f(x)=9.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of hours and n be the hourly rate (9.50).

f(x)=nx

or if you prefer to use 9.50 instead of n, the function would be:

f(x)=9.50x
