Each container is 50 pounds, forget about the second sentence it's just there to confuse you. One ton is 2,000 pounds, half of that is 1,000 lbs. 1,000 divided by 20 is 50. 50 pounds each.

Answer:

 IS a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula for the slope of the line between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

The distance formula for the length of that same line is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Here, you're asked to use each of these formulas 4 times, once for each side of the quadrilateral. I find it convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do the repetitive calculations. The result is attached.

The attachment shows that opposites sides have the same length and slope, so are parallel. The quadrilateral is a parallelogram. (The two points used in each calculation are the ones on the result line and the line immediately below. That is why point B is copied to the end of the list.)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

There are much simpler ways to prove the figure is a parallelogram. My favorite is to add the coordinates of the end points of the diagonals:

  B +D = (-2+6, -9-3) = (4, -12)

  C +E = (0+4, -5-7) = (4, -12)

These values being the same demonstrates the midpoints of the diagonals are coincident. That will only be the case if the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

__

If you must use slope and distance formulas, showing either pair of opposite sides is parallel and have the same length is sufficient to guarantee that the other two sides are also parallel and have the same length. That is, the calculations required in this problem only need to be applied to one pair of opposite sides. (Using a spreadsheet, it's not a lot of extra work to do the calculations for both pairs of opposite sides.)

Integrate x+1/sqrt(x). I know that the answer is 2/3 • sqrt(x) • (x+3) + C, but I don't know how it is simplified from 2/3 • x^3
Andreas93 [3]

\displaystyle\int\frac{x+1}{\sqrt x}\,\mathrm dx=\int\frac x{x^{1/2}}+\frac1{x^{1/2}}\,\mathrm dx

=\displaystyle\int x^{1/2}+x^{-1/2}\,\mathrm dx

By the power rule,

=\dfrac{x^{3/2}}{\frac32}+\dfrac{x^{1/2}}{\frac12}+C

(this seems to be the step you're not getting?)

=\dfrac23x^{3/2}+2x^{1/2}+C

The next step is to pull out a common factor of x^{1/2} from the antiderivative:

x^{3/2}=x^{1/2+1}=x^{1/2}\cdot x^1

so that the final result is

\dfrac23x^{3/2}+2x^{1/2}+C=\dfrac23x^{1/2}(x+3)+C

Find the missing lengths:<br> LO=5 and OK=4, find OH and KH.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The length of KH is 6 units and OH is 6.3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure with lengths LO=5 and OK=4. we have to find the length of  OH and KH.

In ΔLOH

By Pythagoras theorem

LH^2=LO^2+OH^2\\\\LH^2=5^2+OH^2 → (1)

In ΔKOH,

KH^2=OH^2+OK^2\\\\KH^2=OH^2+4^2  → (2)

In ΔKHL,

KL^2=LH^2+KH^2

Using eq (1) and (2), we get

KL^2=5^2+OH^2+OH^2+4^2

9^2=25+2OH^2+16

⇒ 2OH^2=81-25-16=40

⇒ OH=\sqrt{20}=6.324\sim6.3units.

Put the above value in eq 2, we get

KH^2=20+4^2=36

⇒ KH=6 units.

A consumer survey conducted in two consecutive years found that a fixed basket of goods and services cost $36.00 in year 1 and $
docker41 [41]

Answer:

0.021/yr or 2.1%/yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the quotient:

$36.75/$36.00

This comes out to 1.021,

so the inflation rate is 1.021 - 1.000 = 0.021  or  2.1%/year
