Answer:

C. 19 cars; 19 motorcycles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of cars and m represent the number of motorcycles that participated this year.

This year a total of 38 vehicles participated. So, we can write the equation as:

c + m = 38 (Equation 1)

Each car has 4 tires, so number of tires in c cars will be 4c.

Each motorcycle has 2 tires, so number of tires in m motorcycles will be 2m.

In total there were 114 tires, so we can set up the equation as:

4c + 2m = 114 (Equation 2)

From equation 1, m = 38 - c. Using this value in Equation 2, we get:

4c + 2(38 - c) = 114

4c + 76 - 2c = 114

2c = 114 - 76

2c = 38

c = 19

Using this value in equation 1, we get:

19 + m = 38

m = 19

Thus, 19 cars and 19 motorcycles participated in the ride.

Fernanda and Jose were working on an assignment in their geometry class in which they were to write the equation of the graph be

Alborosie

Answer:

yes they both are wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of the Circle is (h,I) which is (4,-3)

so h= 4 and k = -3

radius is 4 units (3+1)

Equation for circle

$(x - h) {}^{2} + (y - k) {}^{2} = r {}^{2}$

substitute all the values in this equation

$(x - 4) { }^{2} + (y - ( - 3)) {}^{2} = 4 {}^{2} \\ (x - 4) {}^{2} + (y + 3) {}^{2} = 16$

A candy box is made from a piece of cardboard that measures 23 by 13 inches. Squares of equal size will be cut out of each corne

wolverine [178]

Answer:

2.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that we represent the size of the squares with the letter y, such that after the squares are being cut from each corner, the rectangular length of the box that is formed can now be ( 23 - 2y), the width to be (13 - 2y) and the height be (x).

The formula for a rectangular box = L × B × W

= (23 -2y)(13-2y) (y)

= (299 - 46y - 26y + 4y²)y

= 299y - 72y² + 4y³

Now for the maximum volume:

dV/dy = 0

This implies that:

299y - 72y² + 4y³ = 299 - 144y + 12y² = 0

By using the quadratic formula; we have :

$= \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

where;

a = 12; b = -144 and c = 299

$= \dfrac{-(-144) \pm \sqrt{(-144)^2 -4(12)(299)}}{2(12)}$

$= \dfrac{144 \pm \sqrt{20736 -14352}}{24}$

$= \dfrac{144 \pm \sqrt{6384}}{24}$

$= \dfrac{144 \pm79.90}{24}$

$= \dfrac{144 + 79.90}{24} \ \ OR \ \ \dfrac{144 - 79.90}{24}$

$= 9.33 \ \ OR \ \ 2.67$

Since the width is 13 inches., it can't be possible for the size of the square to be cut to be 9.33

Thus, the size of the square to be cut out from each corner to obtain the maximum volume is 2.67 inches.
