At a construction job for a house there are 16 painters. Of these painters, 4 of them are painting the

1 answer:

8 0

For this case, we have the total of painters is 16, so to determine what percentage is painting the interior of the house, we make a rule of three:

16 ---------------> 100%

4 -----------------> x

Where "x" represents the% of painters who paint the interior of the house.

$x = \frac {4 * 100} {16}\\x = 25$

Thus, 25% of painters are painting the interior of the house.

Answer:

25%

A tangent line and its normal line have a point of tangency to the function f(x) at (x,y). If the slop of the normal line is m=(

Answer:

$\displaystyle \\\left(\frac{49}{900},\frac{3761}{900}\right)$ or approximately (0.544, 4.179)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function and its tangent lines intersect when their slopes are the same. Find the x-coordinate when the slope of f(x) is equal to 8/7 by taking the derivative of f(x):

$\displaystyle\\f(x)=\sqrt{x}-x+4\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}-1=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}-1$

Set $f'(x)$ equal to 8/7 and solve for x:

$\displaystyle \\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}-1=\frac{8}{7},\\x=\frac{49}{900}$

Therefore, $f(x)$ will intersect at a point of tangency with a line of slope 8/7 at x=49/900. Plug in x=49/900 into $f(x)$ to get the y-coordinate:

$\displaystyle\\y=\sqrt{x}-x+4 \vert_{x=49/900}=\frac{3761}{900}$

⇒Answer: (49/900, 3761/900) or approximately (0.544, 4.179)

Rachel earned $85.25 for working 6 1 4 hours. How much does Rachel earn per hour?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $6 \frac{1}{4}$ hours.

i.e

Rachel earned $85.25 for working $\frac{25}{4}$ hours.

Now calculate earning of Rachel for 1 hour .

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{Total\ earning}{Total\ time}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25}{\frac{25}{4}}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{85.25\times 4}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \frac{341}{25}$

$Rachel\ earning\ for\ one\ hour = \$ 13.64$

Therefore Rachel earns per hour is $ 13.64 .

Solve similar triangles advanced part 1

balu736 [363]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments of similar triangles are proportional. Here, the similar triangles are ...

ΔABC ~ ΔADE

so the relationship between the sides is ...

BC/BA = DE/DA . . . . . . we put the unknown value in the numerator

x/4 = 12/(4+8)

x = 4(1) = 4

The length of side x is 4.

A line passes through the points (2,4) and (5,6) .

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Option B and D are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A line passes through the points (2,4) and (5,6).

* Case 1:

If a line passes through the points (2, 4) and (5, 6)

Point slope intercept form:

for any two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$

then the general form $y -y_1=m(x-x_1)$ for linear equations where m is the slope given by:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

First calculate slope for the points (2, 4) and (5, 6);

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-4}{5-2} = \frac{2}{3}$

then, by point slope intercept form;

$y-4=\frac{2}{3}(x-2)$

* Case 2:

If a line passes through the points (5, 6) and (2, 4)

First calculate slope for the points (5, 6) and (2, 4);

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{4-6}{2-5} = \frac{-2}{-3}= \frac{2}{3}$

then, by point slope intercept form;

$y-6=\frac{2}{3}(x-5)$

Yes, the only equation of line from the given options which describes the given line are;

$y-4=\frac{2}{3}(x-2)$ and $y-6=\frac{2}{3}(x-5)$
