Answer: The net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

The weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The gross weight of a  truck containing 30 pigs = 8 tons 1123 pounds 6 ounces

Average weight of one pig = 95 pounds 10 ounces

Now,

We know that

1\text{ pound}=16\text{ ounces}

So,

\text{Gross weight of truck containing 30 pigs}\\=8\text{ tones }1123\times 16+6\text{ ounces}\\=8\text{ tons }17974\text{ ounces}

Similarly,

\text{ average weight of one pig }\\=95\times 16+10\text{ ounces}\\=1530\text{ ounces}

So, Net weight of the pigs in the truck

1530\times 30\\ =45900\text{ ounces}\\\\=\frac{45900}{16}\\\\=2868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces}\\\\=1\text{ ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces }

So, the net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

Now, we'll find the weight of the empty truck is given by

\text{Gross weight of a truck containing} -\text{ Net weight of pigs in the truck}\\=8\text{ tons}1123\text{ pounds}6\text{ ounces}-1\text{ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ounces}\\=(8\times 2000\times 16+1123\times 16+6)-(1\times 2000\times 16+868\times 16-12)\\=273974\text{ ounces}-45900\text{ ounces}\\=228074\text{ounces }\\=7\text{ tons }254\text{ pounds }10\text{ ounces}

Hence, the weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces .

What is true about the solution of x^2/2x-6=9/6x-18?
pogonyaev

Answer:

  • x = ±√3, and they are actual solutions
  • x = 3, but it is an extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The method often recommended for solving an equation of this sort is to multiply by the product of the denominators, then solve the resulting polynomial equation. When you do that, you get ...

... x^2(6x -18) = (2x -6)(9)

... 6x^2(x -3) -18(x -3) = 0

...6(x -3)(x^2 -3) = 0

... x = 3, x = ±√3

_____

Alternatively, you can subtract the right side of the equation and collect terms to get ...

... x^2/(2(x -3)) - 9/(6(x -3)) = 0

... (1/2)(x^2 -3)/(x -3) = 0

Here, the solution will be values of x that make the numerator zero:

... x = ±√3

_____

So, the actual solutions are x = ±3, and x = 3 is an extraneous solution. The value x=3 is actually excluded from the domain of the original equation, because the equation is undefined at that point.

_____

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

For the graph, we have rewritten the equation so it is of the form f(x)=0. The graphing program is able to highlight zero crossings, so this is a convenient form. When the equation is multiplied as described above, the resulting cubic has an extra zero-crossing at x=3 (blue curve). This is the extraneous solution.

I need the function for the volume of the box for number 1
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height.  Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height.  Thus, the volume of this box must be

V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x

and we want to maximize V(x).  

One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph.  We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.

Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of  x at which V is at a maximum.

I have provided the function that you requested.  If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
