The correct answer is A. Number of hours worked

Explanation:

In the equation presented, the number of hours worked is the only factor that varies, it is expected the plumber has to work a different number of hours depending on each situation and this affects the final cost as the number of hours is multiplied by $25 (cost of one hour). On the other hand, factors such as the house call charge or the price of an hour for labor are fixed and do not change.

Moreover, in equations, the factor that changes and can affect others is known as the independent variable. This means the number of hours can be classified as the independent variable because this is not fixed and affect other variables including the total cost.

The post office will accept packages whose combined length and girth is at most 42 inches. (the girth is the perimeter/distance
Vilka [71]
If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.

The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.

Solve for x in the given interval.<br><br> sec x= -2√3/3, for π/2 ≤x≤π
drek231 [11]

Answer:

b. x=\frac{5\pi}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

\sec x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},\:\:for\:\:\frac{\pi}{2}\le x \le \pi

Recall that the reciprocal of the cosine ratio is the secant ratio.

This implies that;

\frac{1}{\cos x}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}

\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3} }

\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})

x=\frac{5\pi}{6}
