Answer:

Salamander Trail is longer than Great Oak Trail

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The scale of the map is 36 mi = 6 cm

The length of Great Oak Trail = 4.5 cm

The scale of a different map is 24 mi = 3 cm

The length of Salamander Trail = 3.5 cm

Therefore, we have;

The actual length of Great Oak Trail based on the first map is given as follows;

36 mi = 6 cm

6 cm = 36 mi

1 cm = 36 mi/6 = 6 mi

4.5 cm = 4.5 × 6 mi = 27 mi

The actual length of Salamander Trail based on the second  map is given as follows;

24 mi = 3 cm

3 cm = 24 mi

1 cm = 24 mi/3 = 8 mi

3.5 cm = 3.5 × 8 mi = 28 mi

Therefore, Salamander Trail with an actual length of 28 mi is longer than Great Oak Trail which has an actual length of 27 mi.

Find a solution of the quadratic equation.6x squared + 7x + 2 =0
worty [1.4K]

Given the equation:

6x^2+7x+2=0

We will use the following rule to find the solution to the equation:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

From the given equation: a = 6, b = 7, c = 2

So,

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{7^2-4\cdot6\cdot2}}{2\cdot6}=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt[]{1}}{12}=\frac{-7\pm1}{12} \\ x=\frac{-7-1}{12}=-\frac{8}{12}=-\frac{2}{3} \\ or,x=\frac{-7+1}{12}=-\frac{6}{12}=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be option B) x = -1/2, -2/3

The rate of transmission in a telegraph cable is observed to be proportional to x2ln(1/x) where x is the ratio of the radius of
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e ≅0.607

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f the rate function f. Note that f(x) = k * x^2ln(1/x), where k is a positive constant (this is because f is proportional to the other expression). In order to compute the maximum of f in (0,1), we derivate f, using the product rule.

f'(x) = k*((x^2)'*ln(1/x) + x^2*(ln(1/x)')) = k*(2x\,ln(1/x)+x^2*(\frac{1}{1/x}*(-\frac{1}{x^2})))\\= k * (2x \, ln(1/x)-x)

We need to equalize f' to 0

  • k*(2x ln(1/x) - x) = 0 -------- We send k dividing to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) - x = 0 -------- Now we take the x and move it to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) = x -- Now, we send 2x dividing (note that x>0, so we can divide)
  • ln(1/x) = x/2x = 1/2 -------  we send the natural logarithm as exp
  • 1/x = e^(1/2)
  • x = 1/e^(1/2) = 1/√e ≅ 0.607

Thus, the value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e.
