Answer:

-66, 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Then the second number is 14-x, and the difference is ...

x - (14-x) = -146

2x = -132 . . . . . . add 14, collect terms

x = -66 . . . . . . . . the first number

14-x = 14-(-66) = 80 . . . . . . the second number

Answer:

-66 & 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 14 (1)

x - y = -146 (2)

Adding (1) & (2),

2x = -132

x = -66

y = 14 - x = 14 - (-66) = 14 + 66

y = 80

What is 1.83 repeating as a fraction?

maks197457 [2]

The answer to this question would be: 1 5/6

To change a decimal number into fraction, you need to divide the number on the right of decimal point with 1. In this case, the number is 0.83.
This number is hard since .83 doesn't have many factors. To find the answer you can try to multiply the decimal with some number until it close to 1(no decimal left)
0.83* 2= 1.66
0.83* 3= 2.49 ---> close to half, if you find this number, you can try to double it
0.83* 4= 3.32
0.83* 5= 4.15
0.83* 6= 4.98---> close to 1, that means there is high probability that the number can be divided by 6
0.83 would be 4.98/6, but if we assume that the number is 0.8333...... then 0.83 would be 5/6. So, 1.83 would be 1 5/6

A metal cylinder can with an open top and closed bottom is to have volume 4 cubic feet. Approximate the dimensions that require

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

$r\approx 1.084\ feet$

$h\approx 1.084\ feet$

$\displaystyle A=11.07\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

Produce a function which depends on only one variable
Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
Find the values for the variable, called critical points
Compute the second derivative
Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 $ft^3$ . The volume of a cylinder is given by

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

Equating it to 4

$\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4$

Let's solve for h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}$

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Replacing the formula of h

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}$

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

$\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}$

Solving for r

$\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet$

Computing h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet$

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

$\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}$

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

$\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}$

$\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}$
