Answer:

The answer to your question is the small box weighs 13.25 kg and the

                                                           large box weigh 15.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

small box = s

large box = l

3 large boxes and 2 small boxes = 73 kg

8 large boxes and 4 small boxes = 177 kg

Process

1.- To solve this problem write equations

                  3l + 2s = 73                  Equation l

                  8l + 4s = 177                 Equation ll

2.- Solve the system of equations by elimination ( multiply equation l by -2). And add the equations.

                  -6l - 4s = -146

                    8l + 4s = 177

                    2l         = 31

                              l = 31/2

                              l = 15.5 kg

3.- Find s

                  3(15.5) + 2s = 73

                      46.5 + 2s = 73

                                 2s = 73 - 46.5

                                 2s = 26.5

                                   s = 26.5/2

                                   s = 13.25 kg

Find the service area of a cylinder with a base diameter of 6ft and height of 4ft
tatiyna

The service area of the cylinder is 42\pi square fts.

<h3>What is cylinder?</h3>

Two parallel bases joined by a curving surface make up the three-dimensional solid known as a cylinder.

Typically, the bases are shaped like circles. The height "h" of the cylinder stands for the perpendicular distance between the bases, while "r" stands for the cylinder's radius.

The uses of cylinder are-

  • A popular piece of scientific equipment used to determine the volume of a liquid is a graduated cylinder, sometimes referred to as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder.
  • Its form is slender and cylindrical. The measured amount of liquid is shown by each marked line on the graduated cylinder.

Total surface area of the cylinder formula:

It is the sum of the base surface area and the lateral surface area;

Total area = base area + lateral area , or

Total area = 2 π r² + (2 π r) h , or

Total area = 2 π r (r + h)

Calculation for the total area of the cylinder;

Base diameter is 6 ft

Radius is 6/2 = 3 ft

Height is 4 ft

Total area = 2\pi3(3 + 4)

                 = 6\pi×7

                 = 42\pi

Therefore, the total surface area of the cylinder is 42\pi square fts.

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?
Maslowich

Answer:

  (a)  There are two complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic function describes the nature of its roots:

  • <u>negative</u>: two complex roots
  • <u>zero</u>: one real root (multiplicity 2)
  • <u>positive</u>: two distinct real roots.

__

Your discriminant of -8 is <em>negative</em>, so it indicates ...

  There are two complex roots

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We generally study polynomials with <em>real coefficients</em>. These will never have an odd number of complex roots. Their complex roots always come in conjugate pairs.
