The Sum Of Two Numbers Is 50 And The Difference Is 18. What Are The Numbers?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>The sum of two numbers is 50. The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
-----
Equations:
x + y = 50
x = y - 18
-------------------
Add and solve for "x"::

2x = 32
x = 16
-----
Solve for "y"::
16 + y = 50
y = 34
-----------------
Hope I helped!

A company is manufacturing an open-top rectangular box. They have 30 cm by 16 cm sheets of material. The bins are made by cuttin

Natalija [7]

Answer:

a. (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x. b. length 21.2 cm , width = 7.2 cm and height x = 4.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x be the side of the squares to be cut from each corner. Since we have two corners on each side, the length of the resulting box from the 30 cm by 16 cm sheet is L = 30 - 2x. Its breadth is B = 16 - 2x. The height of the resulting box is x. So its volume V = LBx = (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x.

b. To find the maximum value of V, we differentiate V with respect to x and equate it to zero.

So, dV/dx = 0

d(30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x/dx = 0

-2(16 - 2x)x + (-2)(30 - 2x)x + (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x) = 0

32x + 4x² - 60x - 4x² + 480 - 60x - 32x + 4x² = 0

4x²- 120x + 450 = 0

x²- 30x + 112.5 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find x. So, with a = 1, b = - 15 and c = 112.5,

$x = \frac{-(-30)+/-\sqrt{(-30)^{2} - 4 X 1 X 112.5} }{2 X 1} \\= \frac{30+/-\sqrt{900 - 450} }{2}\\ = \frac{30+/-\sqrt{450} }{2}\\ = \frac{30+/-21.21 }{2}\\\\ = \frac{30+21.21 }{2} or \frac{30-21.21 }{2}\\ = \frac{51.21 }{2} or \frac{8.79}{2}\\ = 25.605 or 4.395$

x ≅ 25.61 or 4.4

V = (30 - 2x)(16 - 2x)x

Substituting the values of x into L and B, we have )x

L = (30 - 2x) = (30 - 2(25.61)) = 30 - 51.22 = -21.22

B = (16 - 2x) = (16 - 2(25.61)) = 16 - 51.22 = -35.22

Since L and B cannot be negative, we use the other value for x = 4.4, So

L = (30 - 2x) = (30 - 2(4.4)) = 30 - 8.8 = 21.2

B = (16 - 2x) = (16 - 2(4.4)) = 16 - 8.8 = 7.2

So V = LBx = 21.2 × 7.2 × 4.4 = 671.62 cm³

Which is bigger 13% or 3/25?

belka [17]

Change 13% as a fraction. It will be 13/100

Now, which is bigger? 13/100 or 3/25
Cross multiply and 13/100 is bigger.

13 3
___ X ____
100 25

13×25=325 and 3×100=300. Now you know 13/100 is bigger.

The answer is 13/100

you drop a ball from a height of 98 feet. at the same time, your friend throws a ball upward. the polynomials represent the heig

Ostrovityanka [42]

a) $h_0 -u_y t$

b) See interpretation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of both balls is a free-fall motion: it means that the ball is acted upon the force of gravity only.

Therefore, this means that the motion of the ball is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity:

$g=32 ft/s^2$

in the downward direction.

For the ball dropped from the initial height of $h_0 = 98 ft$ , the height at time t is given by

$h(t) = h_0 -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

The ball which is thrown upward from the ground instead is fired with an initial vertical velocity $u_y$ , and its starting height is zero, so its position at time t is given by

$h'(t)=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

Therefore, the polynomial that represents the distance between the two balls is:

$h(t)-h'(t)=h_0 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 - (u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2) = h_0 -u_y t$

Now we interpret this polynomial, which is:

$\Delta h(t) = h_0 -u_y t$

which represents the distance between the two balls at time t.

The interpretation of the two terms is the following:

- The constant term, $h_0$ , is the initial distance between the two balls, at time t=0 (in fact, the first ball is still at the top of the building, while the second ball is on the ground). For this problem, $h_0 = 98 ft$

- The coefficient of the linear term, $u_y$ , is the initial velocity of the second ball; this terms tells us that the distance between the two balls decreases every second by $u_y$ feet.
