If a menorah is 20 cubits high, and 1 cubit=18 inches, then simply multiply 20 by 18. 18*20=360 inches. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 360/12=30. So, according to the code of Jewish law, a menorah can be 30 feet high.

Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question.

  • 1 cubit = 18 inches
  • 20 cubits = x
  • 1/20 = 18/x       Cross multiply
  • x = 20 * 18
  • x = 360 inches.

The maximum height is 360 inches.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • x feet = 360 inches   Cross multiply
  • 12x = 360 * 1
  • 12x/12 = 360/12
  • x = 30

The maximum height reached was 30 feet.

Determine whether the improper integral converges or diverges, and find the value of each that converges.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using integral by parts:

Let

u=lnx            dv=(1/x)dx

du=(1/x)dx    v=lnx

\int\limits {lnx/x} \, dx = (lnx)^2-\int\limits {lnx/x} \, dx

We can add

\int\limits {lnx/x} \, dx to both sides

\int\limits{lnx/x} \, dx = (1/2)\cdot{(lnx)^2}

We can evaluate the limit between 2 and infinity.

If x tends to infinity the limit will be infinity and therefore the integral diverges to ∞

If (ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)=3x^2-9, what is the value of A + B + C?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

We have the equation:

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c)=  3x^2 - 9

First, move all to the left side.

(ax^2 + 3x + 2b) - (5x^2+bx-3c) - 3x^2 + 9 = 0

Now let's group togheter terms with the same power of x.

(a - 5 - 3)*x^2 + (3 - b)*x + (2b + 3c + 9) = 0.

This must be zero for all the values of x, then the things inside each parenthesis must be zero.

1)

a - 5 - 3 = 0

a = 3 + 5 = 8.

2)

3 - b = 0

b = 3.

3)

2b + 3c + 9 = 0

2*3 + 3c + 9 = 0

3c = -6 - 9 = -15

c = -15/3 = -5

Then we have:

a = 8, b = 3, c = -5

a + b + c = 8 + 3 - 5 = 6

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+ 3 = - 3x + 23\\2x+3=23 \\2x=20\\x=10

1. Subtract -3x from both sides of equation

2. Subtract 3 from both sides of equation

3. Divide both sides by 2
