How much total wrapping paper does it take to wrap two gifts: one with the dimensions of 6 cm by 10 cm by 9.5 cm and the other w

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

gift 1:

424 cm^2

570 cm^3

gift 2:

1420.5 cm^2

3622.5 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the surface area of these gifts in order to know the amount of wrapping paper.

The formula for the surface area is:

A = 2*ab + 2*ac + 2*bc

Gift 1:

A = 2*6*10 + 2*6*9.5 + 2*10*9.5

A = 424 cm^2

That means that gift 1 needs 424 cm^2 of wrapping paper

Gift 2:

A = 2*14*17.25 + 2*14*15 + 2*17.25*15

A = 1420.5 cm^2

That means that gift 2 needs 1420.5 cm^2 of wrapping paper

Now, to calculate the cubic centimeters of packaging peanuts, we calculate the volume, the volume has as formula:

V = a*b*c

Gift 1:

V = 6*10*9.5

V = 570 cm^3

This means that gift 1 needs 570 cm^3 of packaging peanuts

Gift 2:

V = 14*17.25*15

V = 3622.5 cm^3

That means that gift 2 needs 3622.5 cm^3 of packaging peanuts

Write the equation of the line parallel to y=2x+7 and contains the points (6,-1)

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: y = 2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation: Start with the formula y=mx+b. Remember that the slope of the parallel line, m, is the same. Now you have y = 2x + b. You can find b, the y intercept, knowing that the line passes through the point given: -1 = (2) * 6 + b. So now we see that b = -13.

Rationalize the denominator of sqrt -49 over (7 - 2i) - (4 + 9i)

zubka84 [21]

$\sqrt{ \frac{-49}{(7-2i)-(4+9i) } } 
$

This one is quite the deal, but we can begin by distributing the negative on the denominator and getting rid of the parenthesis:

$\frac{ \sqrt{-49}}{7-2i-4-9i}$

See how the denominator now is more a simplification of like terms, with this I mean that you operate the numbers with an "i" together and the ones that do not have an "i" together as well. Namely, the 7 and the -4, the -2i with the -9i.
Therefore having the result:

$\frac{ \sqrt{-49} }{3-11i}$

Now, the $\sqrt{-49}$ must be respresented as an imaginary number, and using the multiplication of radicals, we can simplify it to $\sqrt{49} \sqrt{-1}$
This means that we get the result 7i for the numerator.

$\frac{7i}{3-11i}$

In order to rationalize this fraction even further, we have to remember an identity from the previous algebra classes, namely: $x^2 - y^2 =(x+y)(x-y)$
The difference of squares allows us to remove the imaginary part of this fraction, leaving us with a real number, hopefully, on the denominator.

$\frac{7i (3+11i)}{(3-11i)(3+11i)}$

See, all I did there was multiply both numerator and denominator with (3+11i) so I could complete the difference of squares.
See how $(3-11i)(3+11i)= 3^2 -(11i)^2$ therefore, we can finally write:

$\frac{7i(3+11i)}{3^2 - (11i)^2 }$

I'll let you take it from here, all you have to do is simplify it further.
The simplification is quite straightforward, the numerator distributed the 7i. Namely the product $7i(3+11i) = 21i+77i^2$ .
You should know from your classes that i^2 = -1, thefore the numerator simplifies to $-77+21i$
You can do it as a curious thing, but simplifying yields the result:
$\frac{-77+21i}{130}$
