A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. the length of the deck

anzhelika [568]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = $x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}$

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = $(x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60$

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

$4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60$

Subtracting $4x^{2}$ from both sides

$128 = 34 x + 60$

Subtracting 60 from both sides

$128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60$

$68 = 34 x$

Dividing 34 in both sides

$\frac{68}{34} = \frac{34 x }{34}$

$x = 2$

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)

You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 200 of Continental Mocha to use up all the eggs and cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a first order equation

I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.

The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 700 eggs in stock, so:

2x + y = 700.

The problem also states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream and that each quart of Continental Mocha uses 3 cups of cream. There are 1350 cups of cream in stock, so:

3x + 3y = 1350

Now we have to solve the following system of equations

1) 2x + y = 700

2) 3x + 3y = 1350

I am going to write y as function of x in 1) and replace it in 2)

y = 700 - 2x

3x + 3(700 - 2x) = 1350

3x + 2100 - 6x = 1350

-3x = -750 *(-1)

3x = 750

x = 250

You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla

Now, replace it in 1)

y = 700 - 2x

y = 700 - 2(250)

y = 700 - 500

y = 200.

You should make 200 quarts of Continental Mocha

A fossilized leaf contains 18% of its normal amount of carbon 14. How old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? Use 5600 years as

Sati [7]

Answer: The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{18}{100}\times 100=18$

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5600years}=0.00012years^{-1}$

b) for finding the age

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{18}$

$t=13829years$

The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.
