Raul and his friends each way 1/20 of a ton are standing on a truck scale . The total weight shown by the scale is 3/4 of a ton

. How can I find the total number of people on the scale when Raul and his friends are weighed?

Answer:

I can find the total number of people by dividing the total weight by the weight of one person.

Answer:

<em>15 people</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

since Raul and his friends each weigh 1/20 ton,

and the total weight reads 3/4 ton

The total number pf people on the scale will be:

<em>The total weight of Raul and his friends divided by their individual weight</em>

==> (3/4 ton) ÷ (1/20 ton)

= 3/4 X 20/1 = <em>15 people</em>

On her way to visit her parents,jennifer drives 265 miles in 5 hours. What is her average rate of speed in miles per hour?

Nutka1998 [239]

Her total distance (so 265 miles) over the number of hours she drives will give miles per hour.
265miles/5hours=53 miles/hour

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles slower than train B. The two trains are 720 miles apa

Ber [7]

Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of train B.

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.

The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is

4(x - 16) = 4x - 64

Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is

4 × x = 4x

Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then

4x - 64 + 4x = 720

8x = 720 - 64 = 656

x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour

The speed of train A would be

82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.

Lagrange multipliers have a definite meaning in load balancing for electric network problems. Consider the generators that can o

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The load balance $(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(545.5,272.7,181.8)$ Mw minimizes the total cost

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Lagrange Multipliers</u>

When a multivariable function f is to be maximized or minimized, the Lagrange multipliers method is a pretty common and easy tool to apply when the restrictions are in the form of equalities.

Consider three generators that can output xi megawatts, with i ranging from 1 to 3. The set of unknown variables is x1, x2, x3.

The cost of each generator is given by the formula

$\displaystyle C_i=3x_i+\frac{i}{40}x_i^2$

It means the cost for each generator is expanded as

$\displaystyle C_1=3x_1+\frac{1}{40}x_1^2$

$\displaystyle C_2=3x_2+\frac{2}{40}x_2^2$

$\displaystyle C_3=3x_3+\frac{3}{40}x_3^2$

The total cost of production is

$\displaystyle C(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3x_1+\frac{1}{40}x_1^2+3x_2+\frac{2}{40}x_2^2+3x_3+\frac{3}{40}x_3^2$

Simplifying and rearranging, we have the objective function to minimize:

$\displaystyle C(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3(x_1+x_2+x_3)+\frac{1}{40}(x_1^2+2x_2^2+3x_3^2)$

The restriction can be modeled as a function g(x)=0:

$g: x_1+x_2+x_3=1000$

Or

$g(x_1,x_2,x_3)= x_1+x_2+x_3-1000$

We now construct the auxiliary function

$f(x_1,x_2,x_3)=C(x_1,x_2,x_3)-\lambda g(x_1,x_2,x_3)$

$\displaystyle f(x_1,x_2,x_3)=3(x_1+x_2+x_3)+\frac{1}{40}(x_1^2+2x_2^2+3x_3^2)-\lambda (x_1+x_2+x_3-1000)$

We find all the partial derivatives of f and equate them to 0

$\displaystyle f_{x1}=3+\frac{2}{40}x_1-\lambda=0$

$\displaystyle f_{x2}=3+\frac{4}{40}x_2-\lambda=0$

$\displaystyle f_{x3}=3+\frac{6}{40}x_3-\lambda=0$

$f_\lambda=x_1+x_2+x_3-1000=0$

Solving for \lambda in the three first equations, we have

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{2}{40}x_1$

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{4}{40}x_2$

$\displaystyle \lambda=3+\frac{6}{40}x_3$

Equating them, we find:

$x_1=3x_3$

$\displaystyle x_2=\frac{3}{2}x_3$

Replacing into the restriction (or the fourth derivative)

$x_1+x_2+x_3-1000=0$

$\displaystyle 3x_3+\frac{3}{2}x_3+x_3-1000=0$

$\displaystyle \frac{11}{2}x_3=1000$

$x_3=181.8\ MW$

And also

$x_1=545.5\ MW$

$x_2=272.7\ MW$

The load balance $(x_1,x_2,x_3)=(545.5,272.7,181.8)$ Mw minimizes the total cost

A pentagon has angle measures of 105°, 101°, 112° and 113°. What must the fifth angle measure?

Taya2010 [7]

Add them. Pentagram interior angle is 540. 105+101+112+113=431. 540-431=109 Hence, 109 is the answer. Please brainliest.
