X + 0.5y = 3
x^2 - y = 15

from the first equation:-
0.5y = 3 - x
y = 6 - 2x

Substitute for y in second equation:-
x^2 - (6 - 2x) = 15
x^2 + 2x - 21 = 0
x = [-2 +/- sqrt((4 - 4*-21)] / 2
= 3.6904 , -5.6904

Plugging in these into first equation we get

3.6904 + 0.5y = 3 so y = 2(3-3.6904) = -1.3808
-5.6904 + 0.5y = 3 so y = 2(3 + 5.6904) = 17.3808

Solution is x = 3.690, y = -1.381 ; x = -5.690, y = 17.38 ( to 4 s.f's)

Since the truck is 8 feet long then the longest log able to fit in the truck should be 8 feet as well. However talking reality, we might want to shorten it to make it fit better. Hope this helps!

a person invest in 9000 in a bank. the bank pays 5% interest compounded semi annually. to the nearest tenth of a year, how long

QveST [7]

Answer:

10.1 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Principal = 9000

Rate of interest = 5%

No. of times interest compounded = 2 times in an year

Amount after certain time = 14800

The formula for amount:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest, n is no. of times interest compounded in an year and t is time in years.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

$14800=9000(1+\frac{0.05}{2})^{2t}$

$\frac{14800}{9000}=(1+0.025)^{2t}$

$1.644=(1.025)^{2t}$

Taking log both sides.

$\log(1.644)=\log(1.025)^{2t}$

$\log(1.644)=2t\log(1.025)$ $[\because \log a^b=b\log a]$

$\frac{\log(1.644)}{2\log(1.025)}=t$

$t=10.066$

$t=10.1$

Therefore, the required time is 10.1 years.

Ethan writes 2/3 of a page in 5/12 of a minute. How much time does it take him to write one page

Nataliya [291]

2/3 of a page in 5/12 of a minute

Multiply both fractions by 3/2

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = 1$

$\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}$

So, Ethan can read 1 page in 5/8 of a minute.
