A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{7}

is the fraction of sensors upgraded per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of upgraded sensors in one unit and y be the number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Number of modular units = 30

Since some part of unit is upgraded and some are non-upgraded, then, we can write the equation:

x + y = 1

Number of non-upgraded sensors =

\dfrac{1}{5}\times \text{Total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite}

Thus, we can write the equation:

y = \dfrac{30x}{5}\\\\y = 6x\\1-x = 6x\\\\x = \dfrac{1}{7}

Fraction of sensors upgraded per unit =

\dfrac{1}{7}

For what value of c is the function defined below continuous on (-\infty,\infty)?
kozerog [31]
f(x)= \left \{ {{x^2-c^2,x \ \textless \  4} \atop {cx+20},x \geq 4} \right


It's clear that for x not equal to 4 this function is continuous. So the only question is what happens at 4.
<span>A function, f, is continuous at x = 4 if 
</span><span>\lim_{x \rightarrow 4} \  f(x) = f(4)

</span><span>In notation we write respectively
</span>\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) \ \ \ \text{ and } \ \ \ \lim_{x \rightarrow 4+} f(x)

Now the second of these is easy, because for x > 4, f(x) = cx + 20. Hence limit as x --> 4+ (i.e., from above, from the right) of f(x) is just <span>4c + 20.
</span>
On the other hand, for x < 4, f(x) = x^2 - c^2. Hence 
\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} (x^2 - c^2) = 16 - c^2

Thus these two limits, the one from above and below are equal if and only if
 4c + 20 = 16 - c²<span> 
 Or in other words, the limit as x --> 4 of f(x) exists if and only if
 4c + 20 = 16 - c</span>²

c^2+4c+4=0&#10;\\(c+2)^2=0&#10;\\c=-2

That is to say, if c = -2, f(x) is continuous at x = 4. 

Because f is continuous for all over values of x, it now follows that f is continuous for all real nubmers (-\infty, +\infty)

A rectangle swimming pool was 9 meters wide with an area of 90 square meters. What is the length of the pool?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

10 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle formula is width multiplied by length. So, to find the length of the pool, simply divide the width from the area.

90/9=10

The length of the pool is 10 meters.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.

Find the surface area of<br> the prism.
Anton [14]

Answer:

\text{D. }464\:\mathrm{ft^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the prism consists of four rectangles and two trapezoids. The sum of the areas of these polygons will give the total surface area of the prism:

Rectangle 1 (top base): 12\cdot 14=168

Rectangle 2 (bottom base): 6\cdot 14 = 84

Trapezoids 1 and 2 (lateral): 2\cdot 9 \cdot 4=72

Rectangles 3 and 4 (lateral): 2\cdot 14\cdot 5=140

Thus the total surface area is equal to

168+84+72+140=\boxed{\text{D. }464\:\mathrm{ft^2}}
