The safe load, L, of a wooden beam of width w, height h, and length l, supported at both ends, varies directly as the product of

the width and the square of the height, and inversely as the length. A wooden beam 4 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 168 inches long can hold a load of 7900 pounds. What load would a beam 2 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 144 inches long, of the same material, support? (Round off your answer to the nearest integer.)

Answer:

2257 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, get the volume of each and since density is the same, we shall use the density to get the other mass

First volume

Volume=lwh where l is length, w is width and h is height.

Substituting with the given figures

Volume=4*9*168=6048

Density

Density is mass per unit volume

D=m/v

Mass is given as 7900 pounds

Density is 7900/6048=1.3062169312169

Volume of second box

V=2*6*144=1728

Mass is product of volume and density hence 1.3062169312169*1728=2257.1428571428 pounds

Rounded off as 2257 pounds

What is the value of 0.1561 rounded to the nearest tenth?
Ainat [17]

We have to round the value of 0.1561 to the nearest tenth.

The number after decimal is the number at tenth place. Consider the number to the right of the tenths place and use the number to determine if you will round up or stay the same. Notice that the number to the right of tenth place is more than or equal to 5 or less than 5. If that number is greater than or equal to 5, then the number will round up but if that number is less than 5, then the number will not round up. It will remain same.

Let us consider the given number 0.1561

The number at tenths place is 1

The number after the tenths place is 5 (which is either greater than or equal to 5)

So, the number will round up to 0.2

The factorization below is missing two positive integers a and b. 6x^(3)+18x^(2)-240x=6x(x-a)(x+b) Factor the polynomial and the
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)\\\\\text{** The sum of the zeroes is -3=-8+5 and the product is -40=-8*5. **}\\\\\text{** So, we can factorise. **}\\\\6x^3+18x^2-240x=6x(x^2+3x-40)=6x(x^2+8x-5x-40)\\\\=6x(x(x+8)-5(x+8))\\\\\large \boxed{=6x(x+8)(x-5)}

So, a = 5.

Thank you.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

t+8>82^{\circ}

Explanation:

We were given that:

Let "temperature" be represented by "t"

Suzan checks the temperature at 11:00. If the temperature rises by 8 more degrees, it will break the record high temperature for the day which is 82 degrees

This information is mathematically represented as:

t+8>82^{\circ}
