In this problem you will estimate the heat lost by a typical house, assuming that the temperature inside is tin=20∘c and the tem

perature outside is tout=0∘c. the walls and uppermost ceiling of a typical house are supported by 2×6-inch wooden beams (kwood=0.12w/m/k) with fiberglass insulation (kins=0.04w/m/k) in between. the true depth of the beams is actually 558 inches, but we will take the thickness of the walls and ceiling to be lwall=18cm to allow for the interior and exterior covering. assume that the house is a cube of length l=9.0m on a side. assume that the roof has very high conductivity, so that the air in the attic is at the same temperature as the outside air. ignore heat loss through the ground.

Step 1:

<span>Calculate the effective thermal conductivity of the wall or ceiling:
</span>
K_eff = [ (13 ÷ 8)(0.12) + (16 - (13 ÷ 8)) × (0.04)] ÷ 16 


K_eff =<span> [ 0.195 + 0.565] </span>÷<span> 16

</span>
K_eff = 0.76 ÷ 16
 

K_eff = 0.0475 W/ (m K) 


Step 2:

Calculate <span>the interior ceiling area:

</span>Area of each of the interior side walls = <span>8.82 m x 8.64 m
                                                                = 76.2 m</span>²

Area of the interior ceiling = 8.64 m × <span>8.64 m
</span>                                             = 74.6 m²

H = - k·A·(Δ - T) ÷ <span>(thickness)
</span>
H = - 0.0475 ÷ (379.45 × 20) ÷  45/8

H = - ( - 0.95 × 379.45 ) ÷<span> 0.1429
</span>
H = <span>2.52 kW </span>

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans
timama [110]
<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 – 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x – 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 – 2x – 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>

Please help !! Geometry homework. Will mark brainliest answer !
Ann [662]

Answer:

It is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the rational equation and if it is ture.

x/8 = 5/4

Cross multiplying, we get

4x = 5*8

4x = 40

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

x = 10.

Therefore, x = 10 is true.


Thank you. :)
