An auto mechanic ordered eight car spark plugs and four truck spark plugs. Car spark plugs cost $.75, and truck spark plugs cost

$3.00 apiece. Use the distributive property to find the total cost of these parts.

The first thing we should know is the definition of commutative property.
Commutative property:
The distributive property of multiplication over addition in elementary algebra is that in which the result of a number multiplied by the sum of two or more addends is equal to the sum of the products of each summand by that number. In algebraic terms we have then:
4 * ((2 * 0.75) + (3)) = (8 * 0.75) + (4 * 3) = 6 + 12 = 18 $
answer:
the total cost of these parts is $ 18

If 30,000 cm2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, what is the largest possible volume (in

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume ( $V$ ), in cubic centimeters, and surface area ( $A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters, of the box with a square base are described below:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+h\cdot l$ (1)

$V = l^{2}\cdot h$ (2)

Where:

$l$ - Side length of the base, in centimeters.

$h$ - Height of the box, in centimeters.

By (2), we clear $h$ within the formula:

$h = \frac{V}{l^{2}}$

And we apply in (1) and simplify the resulting expression:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+ \frac{V}{l}$

$A_{s}\cdot l = l^{3}+V$

$V = A_{s}\cdot l -l^{3}$ (3)

Then, we find the first and second derivatives of this expression:

$V' = A_{s}-3\cdot l^{2}$ (4)

$V'' = -6\cdot l$ (5)

If $V' = 0$ and $A_{s} = 30000\,cm^{2}$ , then we find the critical value of the side length of the base is:

$30000-3\cdot l^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot l^{2} = 30000$

$l = 100\,cm$

Then, we evaluate this result in the expression of the second derivative:

$V'' = -600$

By Second Derivative Test, we conclude that critical value leads to an absolute maximum. The maximum possible volume of the box is:

$V = 30000\cdot l - l^{3}$

$V = 2000000\,cm^{3}$

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Help me plzzzzzzzzz<br> solve for x

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

$7) \frac{x+20}{x}=\frac{46}{30}$

$30(x+20)=46x$

$30x+600=46x$

$46x-30x=600$

$16x=600$

$x=75/2$

$x=37.5$

---------------------

$8) \frac{10}{3x+1} =\frac{22}{7x-1}$

$10(7x-1)=22(3x+1)$

$70x-10=66x+22$

$70x-66x=22+10$

$4x=32$

$x=\frac{32}{4}$

$x=8$

<u>---------------------</u>

hope it helps...

Fill in the blank: In data analytics, a _____ refers to all possible data values in a certain dataset

earnstyle [38]

In data analytics, a p<u>opulation </u>refers to all possible data values in a certain dataset

Data analysis is a systematic computer-aided analysis of data or statistics. [1] It is used to discover, interpret, and convey meaningful patterns in the data. It also includes applying data patterns for effective decision-making.

It may be useful in areas where there is a lot of recorded information. The analysis relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming, and operations research to quantify performance.

Organizations can apply analytics to business data to describe, predict, and improve business performance. Areas within the analysis include descriptive analysis, diagnostic analysis, predictive analysis, prescriptive analysis, and cognitive analysis in particular. [2] Analysis can be applied in various fields such as marketing, management, finance, online systems, information security, and software services.
