The length of eastern continental trail is 5400 miles and length of erie canal trail is 360 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Combined length of both trails = 5760 miles

Let,

x be the length of eatern continental trail.

y be the length of Erie canal trail.

According to given statement;

x+y=5760     Eqn 1

x = 15y          Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

15y+y=5760\\16y=5760

Dividing both sides by 16

\frac{16y}{16}=\frac{5760}{16}\\y=360\\

Putting y=360 in Eqn 2

x=15(360)\\x=5400

The length of eastern continental trail is 5400 miles and length of erie canal trail is 360 miles.

Gemiola [76]

The area of the ground floor after it has been reduced to the nearest tenth is 10,681,800 square foot.

<h3>What is the area of the ground floor?</h3>

In order to determine the area of the ground floor after it has been reduced, the area of the floor has to reduced by 6.3%.

Area that was reduced = 6.3% x 11,400,000 = 718,200

New area = 11,400,000 - 718,200 = 10,681,800 square foot

Find the volume of a cone with a base diameter of 8 cm and a height of 6 cm.
Delvig [45]

The volume of a cone is equal to 13 times the area of the base πr2 π r 2 times the height h . Substitute the values of the radius r=6 and height h=8 into the formula to find the volume of the cone. Pi π is approximately equal to 3.14

Here we will study the function f (x) = e ^ x sin (x), where x ∈ [0, 2π]. a) Determine where the function is decreasing and incr
Semmy [17]

fff

f(x) = e^x sin (x)

To find increasing and decreasing intervals we take derivative

f'(x) = e^xsin(x)+e^x(cosx)= e^x(sinx+cosx)

Now we set the derivative =0  and solve for x

e^x(sinx+cosx)=0

sinx + cosx =0

divide whole equation by cos x

\frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{cosx}{cosx} =0

tanx +1 =0

tanx = 1

x=\frac{3\pi }{4} and  x=\frac{7\pi}{4}

Now we pick a number between 0 to  \frac{3\pi }{4}

Lets pick  \frac{\pi }{2}

Plug it into the derivative

f'(x) =e^{\frac{\pi }{2}}(sin(\frac{\pi}{2})+cos(\frac{\pi }{2}))

= 4.810 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval [0, x=\frac{3\pi }{4})

Now we pick a number between   \frac{7\pi}{4} to 2pi

Lets pick  \frac{11\pi}{6}

Plug it into the derivative

f'(x) =e^{\frac{11\pi}{6}}(sin(\frac{11\pi}{6})+cos(\frac{11\pi }{6}))

= 116 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval (\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)

Increasing interval is (0,\frac{3\pi }{4}) U (\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)

Decreasing interval is (\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4})

(b)

The graph of f(x) increases and reaches a local maximum at x=\frac{3\pi}{4}

The graph of f(x) decreases and reaches a local minimum at x=\frac{7\pi}{4}

(c)

f(0) = 0

f(2\pi)=0

f(\frac{3\pi }{4})=7.46

f(\frac{7\pi}{4})=-172.64

Here global maximum at x=\frac{3\pi}{4}

Here global minimum at x=\frac{7\pi}{4}
