Answer:

$LN = 55$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$LN = 12w + 7$

$LP = 15w - 5$

Required

Determine LN

Since LM is a bisector, then we have:

$LP = LN$ (See attachment for illustration)

$15w - 5 = 12w + 7$

Collect Like Terms

$15w - 12w = 5 +7$

$3w = 12$

Solve for w

$w = 12/3$

$w = 4$

LN is calculated as thus:

$LN = 12w + 7$

Substitute 4 for w

$LN = 12 * 4 + 7$

$LN = 48 + 7$

$LN = 55$

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

12 pigs and 20 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Chicken = 2 legs

Pig = 4 legs

(15 * 4) + (17 * 2) = 88 NO

(12 * 4) + (20 * 2) = 88 Yes, and 12 + 20 = 32

CALCULUS: For an object whose velocity in ft/sec is given by v(t) = sin(t), what is its distance, in feet, travelled on the inte

rodikova [14]

The linked answer is wrong because that integral gives you the net displacement of the object, not the total distance.

To get the distance, you have to integrate the speed (as opposed to velocity), which involves integrating the absolute value of the velocity function.

$\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^5 |\sin(t)| \,\mathrm dt$

By definition of absolute value,

$|\sin(t)|=\begin{cases}\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)\ge0\\-\sin(t)&\text{for }\sin(t)$

Over this particular integration interval,

• sin(<em>t</em> ) ≥ 0 for 1 ≤ <em>t</em> < <em>π</em>, and

• sin(<em>t</em> ) < 0 for <em>π</em> < <em>t</em> ≤ 5

so you end up splitting the integral at <em>t</em> = <em>π</em> as

$\mathrm{distance} = \displaystyle\int_1^\pi \sin(t)\,\mathrm dt + \int_\pi^5 (-\sin(t))\,\mathrm dt$

Now compute the distance:

$\mathrm{distance} = -\cos(t)\bigg|_1^\pi + \cos(t)\bigg|_\pi^5$

$\mathrm{distance} = -(\cos(\pi) - \cos(1)) + (\cos(5) - \cos(\pi))$

$\mathrm{distance} = -2\cos(\pi) + \cos(1) + \cos(5) \approx 2.82$

making B the correct answer.

Marcos purchased a sail boat for $56,900. He anticipates each year the boat will decrease in value by 8.1% from the previous yea

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: $56,900\left( 0.919\right)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Marcos purchased a sailboat for $\$56,900$

Each year the boat will decrease in value by $8.1\%$

After 1 year it is

$\Rightarrow 56,900-56,900\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\\$

after another year it becomes

$\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)-56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\cdot \left( 1-0.081\right)\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)^2$

After $x$ years it is

$\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)^x$

$\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 0.919\right)^x$

Given the formula a = s2 + 3b - c , find the value of a when s = 7, b = 13 and c = -24.

galben [10]

Answer:

a = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

$a =s^{2} +3b-c$

Given that,

s = 7

b = 13

c = (-24)

Let's solve for a now.

$a =s^{2} +3b-c$

$a = 7^{2} +3*13-(-24)\\$

$a=49+39+24\\$

$a=88+24$

$a=112$

Hope this helps you.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
