Answer:

\text{The length of new room}=16.64\text{ feet}

\text{Area of the new room}=266.24\text{ feet}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the Rumpart family is building a new room onto their house. The width of the new room will be 16 feet.

The length of the room will be 4% greater than the width. This means that length of new room will be 16 feet plus 4% of 16.

\text{The length of new room}=16+(\frac{4}{100}*16)

\text{The length of new room}=16+(0.04*16)

\text{The length of new room}=16+0.64

\text{The length of new room}=16.64

Therefore, the expression 16+(0.04*16) represents the length of new room and the length of new room is 16.64 feet.

Since we know that area of a rectangular shape is width times length.

\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length*Width}

\text{Area of the new room}=16\text{ feet}\times 16.64\text{ feet}

\text{Area of the new room}=266.24\text{ feet}^2

Therefore, the area of the new room will be 266.24 square feet.

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current c (in amperes) is modeled by: P(c) = -12c^2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The maximum power generated by the circuit is 300 watts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is one that can be written as an equation of the form:

f (x) = ax² + bx + c

where a, b and c (called terms) are any real numbers and a is nonzero.

In this case, f(x) is P(c) [the power generated], x is the current c (in amperes), a = -12, b = 120 and c = 0.

The vertex is a point that is part of the parabola, which has the value as ordered  minimum or maximum function. If the scalar a> 0, the parabola opens or faces up and the vertex is the minimum of the function. In contrast, if a <0, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum of the function.

The calculation of the vertex, which in this case will be the maximum of the function, is carried out as follows:

  • The value of x, in this case the value of current c in amperes, can be calculated with the formula c=\frac{-b}{2*a} . In this case: c=\frac{-120}{2*(-12)} So c= 5 amperes. The current is 5 amperes.
  • The value of y, in this case the value of the electric current in watts, is obtained by substituting the value of c previously obtained in the function. In this case: P(5)= -12*5²+120*5. So P(5)= 300 watts

<u><em>The maximum power generated by the circuit is 300 watts.</em></u>

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilled, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2000 Greenback trout put into the lake 400 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least 50% sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout.

we have to find out smallest number fish (n) that must be electroshoked to be atleast 50% &

A 12 foot ladder is leaning up against the side of a house the ladder makes an angle of 62° with the ground. How far up the side
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the house and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height, h from the top of the ladder to the base of the house represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the house represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height, h that the ladder reaches, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio.

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Sin 62 = h/12

h = 12Sin62

h = 12 × 0.8829

h = 10.6 feet

Roberta uses 5 beads for every 3 inches of string while making necklaces which graph best represents the ratio of necklace strin
mariarad [96]
5 beads are used for every 3 inches, that makes 5/3 beads per inch.

Thus that can be modeled by the graph y=x*5/3 where x is the number of inches and y is the number of beads.
