Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length of triangle base is 26, then let ABC  be the triangle and BC be the base of the triangle=26.Let DE be the parallel line to the base that divides triangle ABC into two equal area parts.

Now, Let AD=a, DB=b, DE=c, AE=d and EC=e, then

Since,  triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, thus using basic proportions, we get

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}

\frac{AD}{AD+DB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AE+EC}

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}=\frac{d}{d+e}

Taking the first two equalities,we get

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}

c=\frac{26a}{a+b}

Thus, the length of the segment between triangle legs is \frac{26a}{a+b}

It takes a printer 10 hours to print the class schedules for all of the students in a college. A faster printer can do the job i
kolbaska11 [484]
If for the slower printer it takes 10 hours for the whole thing, how much has it done in  1 hour?  well, since it takes 10 hours total, in 1 hour it has only done 1/10 th of the whole work.

the faster printer however, can do it in 6 total, how much has it done in 1 hour?  well, 1/6 of the whole work.

now, let's say, they both work together, and it takes "t" hours to finish the whole thing with both rolling.

let's add both rates to see how much that is,

\bf \stackrel{slower~printer}{\cfrac{1}{10}}~~+~~\stackrel{faster~printer}{\cfrac{1}{6}}~~=~~\stackrel{1hr~work}{\cfrac{1}{t}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{LCD is 30}\implies \cfrac{3+5}{30}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies \cfrac{8}{30}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies t=\cfrac{30\cdot 1}{80}

which is 3 hours and 45 minutes.

The cost to produce x units of wire is C= 55x + 450, while the revenue is R= 80x. Find all intervals where the product will at l
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The interval where the product will at least break even is given by x ≥ 10.

In interval notation the interval will be denoted by [10, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the cost to produce x units of wire is C = 55x + 450

ii) the Revenue is R = 80x

iii) therefore the product will at least break even when

    the cost, C   = the Revenue, R.

 therefore 55x + 450 = 80x   \Rightarrow  (80 - 35)x  = 45x = 450    ∴x = 450 / 45 = 10.

iv) The interval where the product will at least break even is given by x ≥

    10.

   In interval notation the interval will be denoted by [10, ∞).
