Answer:

The answer is option (C), One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get the total volume of a cement bridge post

The cement bridge post is in the shape of a cuboid, therefor the volume of the cement bridge post can be expressed as;

Volume of cement bridge post=Base area×Length

where;

Base area=(24^2) inches square

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 24 inches to foot=24/12=2^2=4 feet²

Length=15 feet and 9 inches

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 9 inches to foot=9/12=0.75 feet

Total length=(15+0.75)=15.75 feet

replacing;

Volume of cement bridge post=(4×15.75)=63 cubic feet

Volume of cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

Step 2: Get the total weight of the cement bridge post

Total weight of the cement bridge post=Weight per cubic foot×total volume of the cement bridge post

where;

Weight per cubic foot=145 pounds per cubic foot

Total volume of the cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

replacing;

Total weight of the cement bridge post=(145×63)=9,135 pounds

One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds

Two cylinders are similar. The radius of cylinder A is 5.6 inches. The radius of cylinder B is 1.4 inches. If the height of cyli
natita [175]
The answer is 16 inches.

Let r be a radius and h be a height of a cylinder
Since the cylinders are similar, then the ratio between their radiuses is equal to the ratio of their heights:
r1 : r2 = h1 : h2

Cylinder A:
r1 = 5.6 in
h1 = ?

Cylinder B:
r2 = 1.4 in
h2 = 4 in

5.6 : 1.4 = h1 : 4
h1 = 4 * 5.6 : 1.4
h1 = 16 inches

Which describes the behavior of the function f(x)= tan^-1(x)?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Third Option

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function tan(x) is defined as y=\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}. Since the denominator is cos(x) then we know that  cos(x)=0  when x=\frac{\pi}{2}

We also know that the division by 0 is not defined. Therefore, the limit of y=tan(x) when "x" tends to \frac{\pi}{2} is infinite.

The function tan^{-1}(x) is the inverse of tan(x)

By definition, if we have a function f(x), its domain will be equal to the range of its inverse function f^{-1}(x). If f(3)=8, then f^{-1}(8)=3

This also happens for the function tan^{-1}(x)

If when x \to \frac{\pi}{2}, tan(x) \to \infty then when x \to \infty, tan^{-1}x \to \frac{\pi}{2}

Then, the answer is:

x \to \infty, f(x) \to \frac{\pi}{2}
