Answer:

Suitcase 2 is the better deal because it is less expensive than Suitcase 1 by approximately $0.01 per cubic inch ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the volume of each suitcase and find the price per cubic inch to chose the better deal

The formula of the volume of a rectangular prism is V = L × W × H, where

L is the length of it
W is the width of it
H is the height of it

Suitcase 1:

∵ Its length is 14 inches

∵ Its width is 9 inches

∵ Its height is 22 inches

- Substitute them in the formula of the volume above

∵ V = 14 × 9 × 22

∴ V = 2772 inches³

∵ The cost of it is $139.99

- Divide the cost by the volume to find the cost per cubic inch

∵ The cost per cubic inch = 139.99 ÷ 2772

∴ The cost per cubic inch ≅ 0.05

∴ The cost per cubic inch is approximately $0.05

Suitcase 2:

∵ Its length is 18 inches

∵ Its width is 10 inches

∵ Its height is 22 inches

- Substitute them in the formula of the volume above

∵ V = 18 × 10 × 22

∴ V = 3960 inches³

∵ The cost of it is $158.99

- Divide the cost by the volume to find the cost per cubic inch

∵ The cost per cubic inch = 158.99 ÷ 3960

∴ The cost per cubic inch ≅ 0.04

∴ The cost per cubic inch is approximately $0.04

∵ 0.04 is less than 0.05

∵ 0.05 - 0.04 = 0.01

∴ Suitcase 2 is less expensive than suitcase 1 by $0.01

∴ Suitcase 2 is the better deal

Suitcase 2 is the better deal because it is less expensive than Suitcase 1 by approximately $0.01 per cubic inch

At what point does the curve have maximum curvature? Y = 4ex (x, y) = what happens to the curvature as x → ∞? Κ(x) approaches as

MAXImum [283]

<u>Answer-</u>

At $x= \frac{1}{2304e^4-16e^2}$ the curve has maximum curvature.

<u>Solution-</u>

The formula for curvature =

$K(x)=\frac{{y}''}{(1+({y}')^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Here,

$y=4e^{x}$

Then,

${y}' = 4e^{x} \ and \ {y}''=4e^{x}$

Putting the values,

$K(x)=\frac{{4e^{x}}}{(1+(4e^{x})^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}} = \frac{{4e^{x}}}{(1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Now, in order to get the max curvature value, we have to calculate the first derivative of this function and then to get where its value is max, we have to equate it to 0.

${k}'(x) = \frac{(1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2} } (4e^{x})-(4e^{x})(\frac{3}{2}(1+e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}})(32e^{2x})}{(1+16e^{2x} )^{2}}$

Now, equating this to 0

$(1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2} } (4e^{x})-(4e^{x})(\frac{3}{2}(1+e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}})(32e^{2x}) =0$

$\Rightarrow (1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2}}-(\frac{3}{2}(1+e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}})(32e^{2x})$

$\Rightarrow (1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{3}{2}}=(\frac{3}{2}(1+e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}})(32e^{2x})$

$\Rightarrow (1+16e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}}=48e^{2x}$

$\Rightarrow (1+16e^{2x})}=48^2e^{2x}=2304e^{2x}$

$\Rightarrow 2304e^{2x}-16e^{2x}-1=0$

Solving this eq,

we get $x= \frac{1}{2304e^4-16e^2}$

∴ At $x= \frac{1}{2304e^4-16e^2}$ the curvature is maximum.

If SV⊥RT, m∠RSU = (17x – 3)°, and m∠UST = (6x – 1)°, find TSV

goblinko [34]

Applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.

<h3>How to Apply the Linear Pair Theorem?</h3>

Given the following angles in the image above:

Measure angle RSU = (17x - 3)°,

Measure angle UST = (6x – 1)°

To find the measure of angle TSV, we need to find the value of x in the given expressions as shown below:

m∠RSU + m∠UST = 180 degrees (linear pair]

Substitute the values

17x - 3 + 6x - 1 = 180

Solve for x

23x - 4 = 180

23x = 180 + 4

23x = 184

x = 8

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(m∠UST) [Linear Pair Theorem]

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6x - 1)

Plug in the value of x

m∠TSV = 180 - 2(6(8) - 1)

m∠TSV = 86°

Therefore, applying the linear pair theorem, the measure of angle TSV in the image given is: 86°.
