F(19)= (3/(19+2)) - sqrt(19-3)
= (3/21) - sqrt(16)
= (1/7) - 4
= (1/7) - (28/7)
= -27/7

Westley and Buttercup are each saving money. Westley starts with $85 in in his savings and add $5 per week (y=85+5x)
love history [14]

Answer:

After 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Westley starts with $85 and saves $5 per week. So:

y=85+5x

Buttercup starts with $10 and saves $20 per week. So:

y=10+20x

When they have the same amount of money, the two equations will be equal to each other. Therefore:

85+5x=10+20x

Solve for x. Subtract 10 from both sides:

75+5x=20x

Subtract 5x from both sides:

75=15x

Divide both sides by 15:

x=5

Westley and Buttercup will have the same amount of money after 5 weeks.

There is a balcony that forms part of a circle around a stage, and they need to put up a safety railing. How long of a railing d
alexandr1967 [171]

A sector is a <u>part</u> of a <u>circle</u> that is formed by two<em> radii,</em> and an <em>arc</em>. So that the length of the <em>safety railing</em> required is 31.4 feet.

A sector is a <em>part </em>of a <u>circle</u> that is formed by two <u>radii</u>, and an <u>arc</u>, thus forming a <em>central</em> angle.

Thus the required <em>length</em> of safety railing can be considered as the <u>arc</u> of the<em> sector. </em>

So that;

<u>length</u> of an <u>arc</u> = (θ / 360^{o}) * 2\pir

where θ is the <u>measure</u> of the <em>central angle</em> of the sector, and r is the <u>radius</u> of the sector.

From the given question, θ = 45°, and r = 40 feet.

So that,

<u>length</u> of the<em> safety railing </em>= (45° / 360^{o}) * 2 * 3.14 * 40

                                 = 0.125 * 2* 3.14* 40

<u>length</u> of <em>safety railing</em> = 31.4

Therefore, the <u>length</u> of the <em>safety railing</em> required is 31.4 feet.
