The Big Telescope Company sells circular mirrors. Their largest mirrors have radii of 5 meters and their smallest mirrors have r

adii of 1 meter. The cost of every mirror is proportional to the cube of the mirror's radius. What is the ratio of the total cost of 25 of the company's smallest mirrors to the cost of one of the company's largest mirrors? Express your answer as a common fraction

Answer: 1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of every mirror is proportional to the cube of the mirror's radius.

i.e. \dfrac{\text{Cost of smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of largest mirror}}=\dfrac{(\text{radii of smallest mirror}^3)}{\text{(radii of largest mirror)}^3}

Their largest mirrors have radii of 5 meters and their smallest mirrors have radii of 1 meter.

Then,

\dfrac{\text{Cost of smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of  largest mirror}}=\dfrac{1^3}{(5)^3}=\dfrac{1}{125}

The ratio of the total cost of 25 of the company's smallest mirrors to the cost of one of the company's largest mirrors will be:

\dfrac{\text{Cost of 25 smallest mirror}}{\text{Cost of largest mirror}}=\dfrac{25\times 1}{125}=\dfrac{1}{5}

Hence, the ratio of the total cost of 25 of the company's smallest mirrors to the cost of one of the company's largest mirrors = 1:5 .

Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

 x-intercept = 8/2 = 4

 y-intercept = 8/1 = 8.00000

2.  Slope = 5.000/2.000 = 2.500

 x-intercept = 38/5 = 7.60000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1 = -19.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  4x + 2y - 16  =   2 • (2x + y - 8)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

2.2     Solve   2x+y-8  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x+y-8  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 8/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 8.00000

 y-intercept = 8/1  =  8.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 4/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 4.00000

 x-intercept = 8/2  =  4

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 8.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.000 - 8.000 = -4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = -4.000/2.000 = -2.000

 x-intercept = 8/2 = 4

 y-intercept = 8/1 = 8.00000

2.

Step  1  :

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   5x-2y-38  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  5x-2y-38  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 19/-1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-19.00000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1  = -19.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 38/5 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 7.60000

 x-intercept = 38/5  =  7.60000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -19.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -14.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -14.000 - (-19.000) = 5.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  5.000/2.000 =  2.500

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 5.000/2.000 = 2.500

 x-intercept = 38/5 = 7.60000

 y-intercept = 38/-2 = 19/-1 = -19.00000

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
  • Solving systems of equations by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

16x + 14y = 8

-63x - 14y = 133

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Elimination</em>

  1. Combine 2 equations:                    -47x = 141
  2. Divide -47 on both sides:               x = -3

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                    16x + 14y = 8
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                     16(-3) + 14y = 8
  3. Evaluate multiplication:                       -48 + 14y = 8
  4. Add 48 on both sides:                        14y = 56
  5. Divide 14 on both sides:                      y = 4

<u>Step 4: Graph Systems</u>

<em>Check the solution set.</em>
