Answer:

3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hayley has $155 in savings, and her brother Hank has $230. Hayley is saving $10 each week, and her brother is spending $15 each week.

To Find:  After how many weeks will their saving accounts have the same amount of money in them

Solution:

Savings of Hayley =\$155

Savings of Hayley's brother =\$230

savings hayley per week =\$10

spending of Hayley's brother per week =\$15

let the number of weeks are =\text{x}

Amount hayley has after \text{x} \text{week}

                                                  =155+10\text{x}

Amount hayley's brother has after \text{x} \text{week}

                                                  =230-15\text{x}

now,

\text{amount in hayley's savings} = \text{amount in hayley's brother's savings}

           155+10\text{x}=230-15\text{x}

           25\text{x}=75

           \text{x}=3

After three weeks hayley and his brother have the same amount in their savings account

230-155= 75

75/15 is 5

Therefore the answer is 5 weeks

A metal cylinder can with an open top and closed bottom is to have volume 4 cubic feet. Approximate the dimensions that require
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

r\approx 1.084\ feet

h\approx 1.084\ feet

\displaystyle A=11.07\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

  •  Produce a function which depends on only one variable
  •  Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
  •  Find the values for the variable, called critical points
  •  Compute the second derivative
  •  Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 ft^3. The volume of a cylinder is given by

\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h

Equating it to 4

\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4

Let's solve for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh

Replacing the formula of h

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )

Simplifying

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0

Rearranging

\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}

Solving for r

\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet

Computing h

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}

\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x^2+x-30=12
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Due to there being no negatives in this equation, you can pretty much just eliminate the first 3 answers.


However in working out, here is what I did.

x^2 + x - 30 = 12 (+30) 

= x^2 + x = 42


Then you can conclude that the answer is D, due to 6 x 6 = 36, plus 7 equaling 42.
