Answer:

5 = 19 - 4v

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

\text{Lyle's height} = 2( \text{Harry's height - Vince's height})

Let l be Lyle's height, h be Harry's height and v be Vince's height.

Thus, we can write:

l = 2(h-v)

Lyle's Height =

2\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ feet}

Harry's height =

4\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ feet}

Putting the value in the equation:

2\dfrac{1}{2} = 2(4\dfrac{3}{4}- v)\\\\\dfrac{5}{2} = \dfrac{19}{2} - 2v\\\\5 = 19 - 4v\\4v = 19-5\\\\v = \dfrac{14}{4}\\\\v = 3\dfrac{2}{4} = 3\dfrac{1}{2}

Thus, Vince's height is 3.5 feet.

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y=2/3x and passes through origin
sesenic [268]

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

\bf y = \cfrac{2}{3}x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x+0\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{3}{2}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=-\cfrac{3}{2}x

A manufacturer finds that the revenue generated by selling x units of a certain commodity is given by the function R(x) = 60x −
bonufazy [111]
R(x) = 60x - 0.2x^2

The revenue is maximum when the derivative of R(x) = 0.
dR(x)/dx = 60 - 0.4x = 0
0.4x = 60
x = 60/0.4 = 150

Therefore, maximum revenue is 60(150) - 0.2(150)^2 = 9000 - 4500 = $4,500
Maximum revenue is $4,500 and the number of units is 150 units

A small square cloth has an area of 361 cm2. Sarah sewed four of them together to form a larger square cloth. What is the perime
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

152 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Once again its a square. All sides are equal.

Square root 361 to get 19.

19 x 19 = 361

4 was sewed together.

You could either add, 361+361+361+361

Or you could multiply, 361 x 4

Either way you get 1444.

You could either square root 1444 to get the side length or you could add the previous side length to itself once to get the new side length of 38.

Now you need to get perimeter.

P=4 x length

P=4 x 38

152 cm
