We need to estimate how tall is, on average, one of these object, and then count how many would be in a 5 feet high stack.

For example, on Google you may see that "1.5 cubic foot boxes are the standard box, manufactured by most companies". So, we assume that a standard cardboard box is 1.5 feet tall.

So, if we set the equation

1.5k = 5 \iff k=\dfrac{5}{1.5}=3.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 3 and 4 cardboard boxes in a 5 feet tall stack.

Similarly, we can see that the average book is 9 inches tall. 9 inches are 0.75

feet, so we have

0.75k=5 \iff k=6.\bar{6}

So, there would be between 6 and 7 books in a 5 feet tall stack.

The average brick is 75 millimeters tall, which means 0.25 feet tall. Again, we have

0.25k=5 \iff k=20

So, there would be 20 bricks in a 5 feet tall stack.

Finally, a coin is about 0.006 feet, which leads to

0.006k=5 \iff k=833.\bar{3}

So, there would be between 833 and 834 coins in a 5 feet tall stack.

How do you solve: 2(7-x)+4x=20
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First expand it
Next subtract 14 - 2x + 4x so it can be 14 + 2x
Next subtract 14 from both sides
Next subtract 20 - 14 so it can be 6
Then divide both sides by 2
And lastly reduce the fraction 6/2 and once u reduce it u have your answer which is x = 3.

Determine where V(z)=z4(2z−8)3 is increasing and decreasing.
Marat540 [252]

Answer and Explanation:

A function is said to be increasing, if the derivative of function is f’(x) > 0 on each point. A function is said to be decreasing if f”(x) < 0.

Let y = v (z) be differentiable on the interval (a, b). If two points z1 and z2 belongs to the interval (a, b) such that z1 < z2, then v (z1) ≤ v (z2), the function is increasing in this interval.

Similarly, the function y = v(z) is said to be decreasing, when it is differentiable on the interval (a , b).

Two points z1 and z2 Є (a, b) such that z1 > z2, then v (z1) ≥ v(z2). The function is decreasing on this interval.

The function y = v (z)

The derivative of function Y’ = v’(z) is positive, then the function is increasing.

The function y = v (z)  

The derivative of function y’ is negative, then the function is decreasing.
