Answer:

The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of pages that Polina read

y ----> number of pages that Marcus read

we know that

x+y=108 ----> equation A

x=5y -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

5y+y=108\\6y=108\\y=18

Find the value of x

x=5y -----> x=5(18)=90

therefore

The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18

Identify the diameter of the circular base created by folding the figure into a right cone. HELP ASAP PLEASE!!
Akimi4 [234]

let's notice something, we have a circle with a radius of 12 and one 90° sector is cut off, so only three 90° sectors of the circle are left shaded, so namely the cone will be using 3/4 of that circle.

think of it as, this shaded area is some piece of paper, and you need to pull it upwards and have the cutoff edges meet, and when that happens, you'll end up with a cone-shaped paper cup, and pour in some punch.

now, once we have pulled up the center of the circle to make our paper cup, there will be a circular base, its diameter not going to be 24, it'll be less, but whatever that base is, we know that is going to have the same circumference as those in the shaded area.  Well, what is the circumference of that shaded area?

\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=12 \end{cases}\implies C=2\pi 12\implies C=24\pi \implies \stackrel{\textit{three quarters of it}}{24\pi \cdot \cfrac{3}{4}} \\\\\\ 6\pi \cdot 3\implies 18\pi

well then, the circumference of that circle at the bottom will be 18π, so, what is the diameter of a circle with a circumferenc of 18π?

\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=18\pi \end{cases}\implies 18\pi =2\pi r\implies \cfrac{18\pi }{2\pi }=r\implies 9=r \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{diameter is twice the radius}}{d=18}~\hfill

How to solve this? Please someone help
seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the sign means that y has to be less than or equal to x plus 9

if you wanted an answer an example could be

y = 1

x = 10

this works because if implemented into the equation

1 ≤ 10 + 9 which is true

Answer:

The sweat chloride reference value is less than 30 mmol/L. A value of more than 60 mmol/L of chloride in the sweat is consistent with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The values of 30-60 mEq/L may represent heterozygous carriers, these carriers cannot be accurately identified with a sweat chloride test.
