When building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers. One house was buil

Let d represent number of days and n represent number of workers.

We have been given that when building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers.

We know that the equation y=\frac{k}{x} represents the relation where y is inversely proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality.  

So our required equation would be d=\frac{k}{n}

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

19=\frac{k}{35}

k=19\cdot 35

k=665

Since constant of proportionality is 665, so our equation would be d=\frac{665}{n}.

To find the number of days it will take to build a similar house with 5 workers, we will substitute n=5 in our equation as:

d=\frac{665}{5}

d=133

Therefore, it will take 133 days for 5 workers to build a similar house.

What is the geometric mean of 5 and 8?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

About 6.325.

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean between two numbers is the smaller number multiplied by the square root of the quotient of the two numbers. In this case, the square root of 8/5 multiplied by 5 is about 6.325. Hope this helps!

Swimming speed of salmon. The graph is showed below shows the influence of the temperature T on the maximum sustainable swimming
Doss [256]

Answer:

Here we have the relation between the speed of the salmon and the temperature.

a) the relation dS/dT tell us how the speed of the salmon changes as the temperature changes, and the units should be (if speed is m/s and temperature is in °C )

[dS/dT ] = [m/s*°C ].

b) I can not do a draw of the figure, but i can give a aproximation.

For T = 18°C, we can see that we are around the maximum of the curve, this means that around this point we will find the zero in the first derivate.

then S'(18) ≈ 0 m/s*°C

this means that around this point the changes are small.

for T = 10°C

Around this region, we can see almost a linear behavior.

so we can take a range of +-2°C

S(12°C) = 25m/s

S(8°C) = 20m/s

then the slope can be obtained using the relation:

S = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1) where this is the slope for the line that goes trough the pairs. (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)

S = (25 - 20)/(12 - 8) = 5/4

then we have that S´(10°C) ≈ 5/4 m/s*°C

Those two results are approximations, you may find better approximations by doing this with a ruler and drawing the tangents.
