The volume of a box(V) varies directly with its length(l). If a box in the group has a length of 30 inches, and the girth of 20

inches (perimeter of the side formed by the width and height), what is its height? Use k = 24. (Hint: Volume = length • width • height. Solve for length, and substitute into the equation for constant of proportionality.)?

\bf \textit{V varies directly with l}\implies V=kl\qquad k=24\implies V=24l
\\\\\\
\textit{volume of the box, or a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=lwh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=length\\
w=width\\
h=height\\
----------\\
k=24
\end{cases}\implies \boxed{lwh=24l}
\\\\\\
\textit{girth of the box }\\\\
w+w+h+h=20\implies 2w+2h=20\implies 2(w+h)=20
\\\\\\
thus\qquad w+h=\cfrac{20}{2}\implies \boxed{w=10-h}

\bf \\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
lwh=24l\implies wh=24\implies (10-h)h=24\implies 10h-h^2=24
\\\\\\
0=h^2-10+24\implies 0=(h-6)(h-4)\implies h=
\begin{cases}
6\\
4
\end{cases}

now, notice, we didn't use the length of 30inches.... since the "l"'s cancel each other anyway, so it doesn't weight much on what the value for "h" is, by simply doing the substution of "w" from the Girth.

Gragh the image of the figure after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 centered at (5, -5) please help
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

See attached diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC has vertices A(9,3), B(-7,-5) and C(-3,7).

The dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 centered at (5, -5) has the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{15}{4},\dfrac{1}{4}y-\dfrac{15}{4}\right)

Then

A(9,3)\rightarrow A'\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 9+\dfrac{15}{4},\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 3-\dfrac{15}{4}\right)=A'(6,-3);

B(-7,-5)\rightarrow B'\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot (-7)+\dfrac{15}{4},\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot (-5)-\dfrac{15}{4}\right)=B'(2,-5);

C(-3,7)\rightarrow C'\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot (-3)+\dfrac{15}{4},\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 7-\dfrac{15}{4}\right)=C'(3,-2).

If the graphs of the linear equations in a system are parallel, what does that mean about the possible solution(s) of the system
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

b) If the graphs of the linear equations in a system are parallel, there is no solution to the given system of equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel Lines:

Two straight lines l and m are said to be parallel if they do not intersect at any point, if infinitely extended in either direction.

Now, if the graphs of the linear equations in a system are parallel

⇒ By the definition, both the graphs have NO INTERSECTING POINT.

⇒There is not even one common point available to the given system of  

   equation.

Hence, There is no solution to the given system of equation.
