The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l). If a box in the group has a length of 30 inches, and the girth of 20

inches (perimeter of the side formed by the width and height), what is its height? Use k = 24. (Hint: Volume = length width height. Solve for length, and substitute into the equation for constant of proportionality.) ___ inches or ___ inches

V = kl   where k is the  constant of proportionality

V = 24l = 24*30 = 720 in^3

720 = 30*h*w
hw = 720 / 30 = 24
also 2h + 2w = 20 
w + h = 10
24/h  + h = 10
24 + h^2 = 10h
h^2 - 10h + 24 = 0
(h - 4)(h - 6)=0 

h = 4 inches or 6 inches.

Answer:

Volume of box (V) is given by:

V = lwh            .....[1]

where,

l is the length , w is the width and h is the height of the box respectively.

As per the statement:

The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l).

V \propto l

then;

V = kl where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Substitute  k = 24 and l = 30 inches we have;

V = 24 \cdot 30 = 720 in^3

Substitute the given values of V  and l in [1] we have;

720 = 30wh

Divide both sides by 30h we have;

\frac{24}{h} =w               .....[2]

It is also given that  the girth of 20 inches (perimeter of the side formed by the width and height)

Perimeter of rectangle formed by width and height is given by:

P = 2(w+h)

then;

20 = 2(w+h)

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

10 = w+h

or

w+h = 10                   .....[3]

Substitute equation [2] into [3] we have;

\frac{24}{h}+h = 10

⇒24 +h^2 = 10h

⇒h^2-10h+24 = 0

⇒h^2-6h-4h+24=0

⇒h(h-6)-4(h-6)=0

Take h-6 common we have;

⇒(h-6)(h-4)=0

By zero product property we have;

h-6=0 or h-4=0

⇒h = 6 inches or h =  4 inches.

therefore, the height is,  6 or 4 inches

Jocelyn just accepted a job at a new company where she will make an annual salary of $70000. Jocelyn was told that for each year
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

$80,500

55,500 + 1,500t

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is an arithmetic progression series

Where,

a= first term

d= common difference

n= number of terms

a = $70,000

d= $1,500

n= 8 years

8th term = a + (n-1) d

= 70,000 + (8-1)1500

= 70,000 + 7(1500)

= 70,000 + 10,500

= $80,500

Jocelyn salary after 8 years is $80,500

Solve for when n = t

t th term = a + (n-1)d

= 70,000 + (t - 1)1500

= 70,000 + 1,500t - 1,500

= 55,500 + 1,500t

t th term = 55,500 + 1,500t

* Let S = Span {(2,-1, 1), (3, 1, 1), (1, 2, 0)}. (i) Calculate the dimension of S.
Sholpan [36]

The span of 3 vectors can have dimension at most 3, so 9 is certainly not correct.

Check whether the 3 vectors are linearly independent. If they are not, then there is some choice of scalars c_1,c_2,c_3 (not all zero) such that

c_1 (2,-1,1) + c_2 (3,1,1) + c_3 (1,2,0) = (0,0,0)

which leads to the system of linear equations,

\begin{cases} 2c_1 + 3c_2 + c_3 = 0 \\ -c_1 + c_2 + 2c_3 = 0 \\ c_1 + c_2 = 0 \end{cases}

From the third equation, we have c_1=-c_2, and substituting this into the second equation gives

-c_1 + c_2 + 2c_3 = 2c_2 + 2c_3 = 0 \implies c_2 + c_3 = 0 \implies c_2 = -c_3

and in turn, c_1=c_3. Substituting these into the first equation gives

2c_1 + 3c_2 + c_3 = 2c_3 - 3c_3 + c_3 = 0 \implies 0=0

which tells us that any value of c_3 will work. If c_3 = t, then c_1=t and c_2 = -t. Therefore the 3 vectors are not linearly independent, so their span cannot have dimension 3.

Repeating the calculations above while taking only 2 of the given vectors at a time, we see that they are pairwise linearly independent, so the span of each pair has dimension 2. This means the span of all 3 vectors taken at once must be 2.
