Answer:

1 ft³ of gold will weigh 1209.6 pounds

1 ft³ of copper will weigh 559 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for:

Density = Mass/Volume

Hence, making mass the subject of the formula:

Mass = Density × Volume

From the question we are told:Volume of each metal = 1 ft³

1) Metal: Gold

Density of Gold = 0.70 pounds per cubic inch(lb/in³)

We convert the Volume of gold from ft³ to in³

The Volume of gold given in the question = 1 cubic foot = 1 ft³

1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

Hence, the volume of Gold = 1728 in³

Mass of Gold = Density of Gold × Volume of Gold

Mass of Gold = 0.70Ib/in³ × 1728 in³

= 1209.6 lb(pounds)

2) Metal : Copper

Density of copper given in the question = 8.96 grams per cubic centimeter

Ib = pounds

We convert this density in g/cm³ to ib/in³

453.5g = 1 Ib

8.96g = a Ib

Cross Multiply

= 453.5g × a Ib =8.96g × 1 Ib

= a Ib = 8.96g × 1 Ib/453.5g

a Ib = 0.0197574421 Ib

Density of Copper = 0.0197574421 Ib/cm³

28,316.8 cm³ = 1 ft³

1 cm³ = b ft³

b ft³ = 1 cm³ × 1 ft³/28,316.8cm³

b ft³ = 0.0000353147 ft³

1 cm³ = 0.0000353147 ft³

We have to convert the density of Copper from Ib/cm³ to Ib/ft³

0.0197574421 Ib/cm³ = 0.0197574421 Ib/0.0000353147 ft³

559.46793026 Ib/ft³

Volume of copper = 1ft³

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass of copper = 559.46793026 Ib/ft³ × 1 ft³

= 559.46793026 Ib or pounds

≈ 559 pounds

Therefore , the weight of gold is 1209.6 pounds and the weight of copper will be 559 pounds.

I just need a little help on this ??! Please.

1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6

2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5

3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.

When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.

Answer: 13300

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

Work Shown:

A = event that it rains

B = event that it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30

P(B) = 1-P(A) = 1-0.30 = 0.70

Multiply the attendance figures with their corresponding probabilities

if it rains, then 7000*P(A) = 7000*0.30 = 2100
if it doesn't rain, then 16000*P(B) = 16000*0.70 = 11200

Add up the results: 2100+11200 = 13300

This is the expected value. This is basically the average based on the probabilities. The average is more tilted toward the higher end of the spectrum (closer to 16000 than it is to 7000) because there is a higher chance that it does not rain.

For $f$ to be continuous at $x=1$ , you need to have the limit from either side as $x\to1$ to be the same.

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1^-}(|x-1|+2)=2$
$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1^+}(ax^2+bx)=a+b$

If $a=2$ and $b=3$ , then the limit from the right would be $2+3=5\neq2$ , so the answer to part (1) is no, the function would not be continuous under those conditions.

This basically answers part (2). For the function to be continuous, you need to satisfy the relation $a+b=2$ .

Part (c) is done similarly to part (1). This time, you need to limits from either side as $x\to2$ to match. You have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2^-}(ax^2+bx)=4a+2b$
$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2^+}(5x-10)=0$

So, $a$ and $b$ have to satisfy the relation $4a+2b=0$ , or $2a+b=0$ .

Part (4) is done by solving the system of equations above for $a$ and $b$ . I'll leave that to you, as well as part (5) since that's just drawing your findings.
