Perimeter = 2(length + width)
59 = 2(14+x)
59 = 28 + 2x
31 = 2x
15.5 = x

Width = 15.5

y is directly proportional to x^3. it is known that =5 for a particular value of x. find the value of y when this value of y whe

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The value of $y$ when the value of $x$ is multiplied by $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{5}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following relationship:

$y = k\cdot x^{3}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$k$ - Proportionality constant.

We can eliminate the proportionality constant by constructing the following relationship:

$\frac{y_{2}}{y_{1}} = \left(\frac{x_{2}}{x_{1}} \right)^{3}$

If we know that $y_{1} = y$ , $y_{2} = 5$ , $x_{2} = x_{o}$ and $x_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x_{o}$ , then the value of $y$ when the value of $x$ is multiplied by $\frac{1}{2}$ is:

$\frac{5}{y} = \left(\frac{x_{o}}{\frac{1}{2}\cdot x_{o} } \right)^{3}$

$\frac{5}{y} = 8$

$y = \frac{5}{8}$

The value of $y$ when the value of $x$ is multiplied by $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{5}{8}$ .

I can't figure out how to do (i + j) x (i x j)for vector calc

Vinil7 [7]

In three dimensions, the cross product of two vectors is defined as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \vec{A}=a_1\hat{i}+a_2\hat{j}+a_3\hat{k} \\ \vec{B}=b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=\det (\begin{bmatrix}{\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}} \\ {a_1} & {a_2} & {a_3} \\ {b_1} & {b_2} & {b_3}\end{bmatrix}) \end{gathered}$

Then, solving the determinant

$\Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)\hat{i}+(b_1a_3+a_1b_3)\hat{j}+(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)\hat{k}$

In our case,

$\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})=1\hat{i}+1\hat{j}+0\hat{k} \\ \text{and} \\ (\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,0,0)\times(0,1,0)=(0)\hat{i}+(0)\hat{j}+(1-0)\hat{k}=\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{k} \end{gathered}$

Where we used the formula for AxB to calculate ixj.

Finally,

$\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,1,0)\times(0,0,1) \\ =(1\cdot1-0\cdot0)\hat{i}+(0\cdot0-1\cdot1)\hat{j}+(1\cdot0-0\cdot1)\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=1\hat{i}-1\hat{j} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{i}-\hat{j} \end{gathered}$

Thus, (i+j)x(ixj)=i-j

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym. She then finds a better deal at another gym, so she cancels her membership wit

valkas [14]

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym.

She then finds a better deal at another gym so she cancels her membership with the first gym after x months
She spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym
The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month
She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year

We need to find how much time she spent at each gym

∵ She spent x months in the 1st gym

∵ She spent y months in the 2nd gym

∵ Her course is a year

- There are 12 months in a year

∴ x + y = 12 ⇒ (1)

∵ The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month

∵ The membership to the second gym costs $45 per month

∵ She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course

∴ 75x + 45y = 780 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -45 to eliminate y

∵ -45x - 45y = -540 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 30x = 240

- Divide both sides by 30

∴ x = 8

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 12

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 4

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym
