Answer:

The fraction of wood used for horizontal support is $\frac{5}{12}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the total piece of wood is of length 1.

It is provided that Talia used $\frac{1}{3}$ of the piece of wood for the base of he project.

She use $\frac{1}{4}$ of the piece of wood for the for the vertical support.

The remaining wood she used for horizontal support.

The amount of wood used for horizontal support can be computed by the subtracting the amount of wood used for base of the project and vertical support form 1.

Compute the amount of wood used for horizontal support as follows:

$Horizontal\ support=1-Base\ of\ project-Vertical\ support\\= 1 - \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}\\ =\frac{12-4-3}{12} \\=\frac{5}{12}$

Thus, the fraction of wood used for horizontal support is $\frac{5}{12}$ .

In the previous part, we obtained dy dx = 3t2 − 27 −2t . Next, find the points where the tangent to the curve is horizontal. (En

Answer:

(27.55, 7.22), (-11.3, 3.21).

Step-by-step explanation:

When is the tangent to the curve horizontal?

The tangent curve is horizontal when the derivative is zero.

The derivative is:

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3t^{2} - 2t - 27$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$3t^{2} - 2t - 27 = 0$

So

$a = 3, b = -2, c = -27$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-2)^{2} - 4*3*(-27) = 328$

So

$t_{1} = \frac{-(-2) + \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = 3.35$

$t_{2} = \frac{-(-2) - \sqrt{328}}{2*3} = -2.685$

Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.

We found values of t, now we have to replace in the equations for x and y.

t = 3.35

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (3.35)^{3} - 3*3.35 = 27.55$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (3.35)^2 - 4 = 7.22$

The first point is (27.55, 7.22)

t = -2.685

$x = t^{3} - 3t = (-2.685)^3 - 3*(-2.685) = -11.3$

$y = t^{2} - 4 = (-2.685)^2 - 4 = 3.21$

The second point is (-11.3, 3.21).

2 times what eqvals 49

Naddik [55]

So what you can do is take 49 and divide it by 2 cause times is multiplication so if you take 49 and divide that by 2 you would get 24.5. Now if you plug so like 24.5 · 2 would would get 49.
