During a manufacturing process, a metal part in a machine is exposed to varying temperature conditions. The manufacturer of the

machine recommends that the temperature of the machine part remain below 141°F. The temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit x minutes after the machine is put into operation is modeled by
T = 0.005x² + 0.45x + 125.
Will the temperature of the part ever reach or exceed 141F? Use the discriminant of a quadratic equation to decide.
A. yes
B. no

Answer:

Yes, it will reach or exceed 141 degree F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit x minutes after the machine is put into operation is,

T = 0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125

Suppose T = 141°F,

\implies 141 = 0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125

\implies 0.005x^2 + 0.45x + 125 - 141 =0

\implies 0.005x^2 + 0.45x - 16=0

Since, a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c =0 has,

Real roots,

If Discriminant, D = b^2 - 4ac \geq 0

Imaginary roots,

If D < 0,

Since, 0.45^2 - 4\times 0.005\times -16 = 0.2025 + 32 > 0

Thus, roots of -0.005x² + 0.45x + 125 are real.

Hence, the temperature can reach or exceed 141 degree F.

Write the standard form of an equation of an ellipse subject to the given conditions.
irina [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation of an ellipse with major axis on the y axis is given as:

\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2} =1

Where (h, k) is the center of the ellipse, (h, k ± a) is the major axis, (h ± b, k) is the minor axis, (h, k ± c) is the foci and c² = a² - b²

Since the minor axis is at (37,0) and (-37,0), hence k = 0, h = 0 and b = 37

Also, the foci is at (0,5) and (0, -5), therefore c = 5

Using c² = a² - b²:

5² = a² - 37²

a² = 37² + 5² = 1369 + 25

a² = 1394

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{1369}+ \frac{y^2}{1394} =1

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The answer is C: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant is found by multiplying your height and width, so thats really all you do.

25x3=75

15x3=75

3x15=75

25x3=75

75 would be the constant.

( simultaneous equations)
daser333 [38]

Answer:

See method below.

Step-by-step explanation:

m/n + n/3 = 2

2/m + n = 4    

First  eliminate the fractions by multiplying the first equation by 3n:-

3m + n^2 = 6n...........(1)

and the second equation by m:-

2 + mn = 4m..............(2)

Now we solve using substitution:-

From equation  (2):-

4m - mn = 2

m = 2 / (4 - n)

Now substitute for m in equation (1):-

6/ (4 - n) + n^2 = 6n

6 + n^2(4 - n) = 6n(4 - n)

6 + 4n^2 - n^3 = 24n - 6n^2

n^3 - 10n^2 + 24n - 6 = 0

This will not factor so we could solve this using graphical software.

To find the values of the variable m we substitute the found values of n into one of the original equations and solve for m.
