Answer:

Area = 2,031ft^2

Total weight of gravel on the roof = 24,372 pounds

Step-by-step Explanation:

The area Adams planned to cover with gravel can be divided into 3 rectangles as shown in the diagram attached.

We would have 3 rectangles. See the attachment below to check out how we arrive at the dimensions of the 3 rectangles.

Area of rectangle = L*W

Area to be covered by gravel = area of rectangle 1 + area of rectangle 2 + area of rectangle 3

Area to be covered with gravel = (30*17) + (13*9) + (52*27)

Area = (30*17) + (13*9) + (52*27) = 2,031ft^2

Total weight of gravel on the roof = 12 pounds per square foot multiplied by total area of the roof to be covered = 12 * 2031 = 24,372 pounds

The diameter of cold virus cell is about 3x10-9 meter,and the diameter of a streptoccus bacterium cell is about 9x10-7 meter. Wh
Archy [21]

Here we need to compare the orders of magnitude of two measures.

We will see that the bacteria is<em> 300 times larger than the virus.</em>

We know that:

The diameter of the virus-cell is:

D_v = 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m

The diameter of the bacteria cell is:

D_b = 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m

So, to compare them, first notice that both are in the same units, meters, so we only need to <u>compare the numbers</u>.

Is common sense to identify the one with the largest exponent as the largest number, and the largest exponent is -7, thus <u>the bacteria should be the larger one.</u>

But let's prove this with math, remember the property:

\frac{a^n}{a^m} = a^{n - m}

Let's take the quotient between the diameters and see what we get, I will use the <u>diameter of the bacteria in the numerator</u>, thus <u>if the quotient is larger than 1, it would mean that the bacteria is greater and by how much.</u>

quotient = \frac{ 9 \cdot 10^{-7} m}{ 3 \cdot 10^{-9} m}  = \frac{9}{3} \cdot 10^{-7 + 9}\\\\= 3*10^2

So we can say that the bacteria is 3*10^2 = 3*100 = 300 times larger than the virus.

Solve each compound inequality (show your work!)
zimovet [89]

Answer:  -1 < x < 8

                x = 3

                x ≠ 2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Isolate x in the middle.  Perform operations to all 3 sides.

-6 < 2x - 4 < 12

<u>+4 </u>   <u>      +4</u>   <u>+4 </u>

-2 < 2x       < 16

<u>÷2  </u>  <u>÷2      </u>   <u> ÷2 </u>

-1   <   x       <  8

**************************************************************************

Isolate x.  Solve each inequality separately. Remember to flip the sign when dividing by a negative.

       4x ≤ 12       and       -7x ≤ 21

      <u>÷4  </u>  <u>÷4 </u>                 <u> ÷-7  </u>   <u>÷-7 </u>

        x ≤ 3         and         x ≥  3

Since it is an "and" statement, x is the intersection of both inequalities.

When is x ≤ 3 and ≥ 3?    <em>when x = 3</em>

****************************************************************************

Isolate x.  Solve each inequality separately.

    15x > 30       or           18x < -36

   <u>÷15 </u>  <u> ÷15 </u>                  <u> ÷18  </u>   <u>÷18 </u>

       x > 2          or              x <   2

Since it is an "or" statement, x is the union of both inequalities.

When we combine the inequalities, x is every value except 2.

x ≠ 2
