Answer: b=-8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse,

5

8

Multiplicative inverse,

−

8

5

Explanation:

For a number

a

, it's multiplicative inverse

b

is such that

a

⋅

b

=

1

which is the multiplicative identity.

For a number

a

, it's additive inverse

c

would be such that

a

+

c

=

0

where

0

is additive identity.

Thus, for

a

=

−

5

8

It's additive inverse be

c

.

Then

−

5

8

+

c

=

0

Now, adding

5

8

to both sides,

c

=

5

8

.

Let the multiplicative inverse be

b

.

Then

a

⋅

b

=

1

⇒

−

5

8

⋅

b

=

1

Multiplying both sides with

−

8

What is the volume of the square pyramid with the base edges 24 ft and height
liberstina [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is one third the height times the area of the base.

V = ⅓ h A

The base is a square, so the area is the width times length.

V = ⅓ h wl

Problem is, we don't know the height, only the slant length.  But we can use this to find the height.

If we cut a cross section down the middle of the pyramid, we get an isosceles triangle.  The base of the triangle is 24, and the legs are 37.

If we cut this triangle in half, we get two right triangles.  Each right triangle has a base of 12 and a hypotenuse of 37.

Now we can use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the triangle, which is also the height of the pyramid.

c² = a² + b²

37² = 12² + h²

h = 35

Now we can find the volume.  h = 35, w = 24, and l = 24:

V = ⅓ h wl

V = ⅓ (35) (24) (24)

V = 6720

So the volume is 6720 ft³, or answer A.

Please help me thank you so much. Just not sure of my answers
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

An interesting experiment is given. We need to address various questions based on our knowledge of calculus.

Step 2

Part (a)

Time taken for the radius to grow to 2 cm = t1 = r/0.5 = 2/0.5 = 4 hours

Time taken for the radius to become 0 = t2 and the same can be obtained by solving:

r = 2 - √t2 = 0

Hence, t2 = 22 = 4 hours

Hence, the time duration of the entire experiment (from the introduction of the bacteria until its disappearance) = t1 + t2 = 4 + 4 = 8 hours

Step 3

Part (b)

r(t) = 0.5t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4

and

r(t) = 2 - √(t - 4) for t > 2
