A certain solar collector can absorb 9.0 MJ in 7.0 h. Another panel is added, and together they collect 41 MJ in 5.0 h. How long

would it take the new panel alone to collect 41 MJ?

Lets call the rate at which the first panel absorbs solar energy x:
x = 9/7

To find out how much energy the panel will absorb in a certain number of hours, just multiply x by the time:
In 7 hours, energy = (9/7) * 7 = 9MJ
In 8 hours, energy = (9/7) * 8 = (72/7)MJ

Let's call the rate at which the second panel absorbs solar energy y. Therefore, we can write an equation, in x and y, using the information in the question:
5x + 5y = 41

We know what x is, so 5x = 5 * (9/7) = (45/7):
(45/7) + 5y = 41
5y = 41 - (45/7)

41 is the same as (41*7)/7 = 287/7:
5y = 287/7 - 45/7 = (287-45)/7 = 242/7

Divide both sides by 5 to find the value of y (in MJ absorbed per hours, MJ/h):
y = 242/35 = 6.914285714MJ/h

Let's call the time taken for the new panel to absorb 41MJ t:
ty = 41

We know what y is, so substitute that in and solve:
6.914285714t = 41
t = 41/6.914285714 ≈ 5.929752066 hours

I would like to express this value in the SI unit, which is seconds, s:
5.929752066 * 3600 = 21347.1s

Indicate the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and (2, -5).
PtichkaEL [24]
Okay to find the perpendicular bisector of a segment you first need to find the slope of the reference segment.

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) in this case:

m=(-5-1)/(2-4)

m=-6/-2

m=3

Now for the the bisector line to be perpendicular its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the reference segment, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1  in this case:

3m=-1

m=-1/3

So now we know that the slope is -1/3 we need to find the midpoint of the line segment that we are bisecting.  The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints, mathematically:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2), in this case:

mp=((4+2)/2, (1-5)/2)

mp=(6/2, -4/2)

mp=(3,-2)

So our bisector must pass through the midpoint, or (3,-2) and have a slope of -1/3 so we can say:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, and given what we know:

-2=(-1/3)3+b

-2=-3/3+b

-2=-1+b

-1=b

So now we have the complete equation of the perpendicular bisector...

y=-x/3-1 or more neatly in my opinion :P

y=(-x-3)/3

Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

9x + 3 = 7x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jeffrey set up chairs for a meeting.

He arranged the chairs in 9 equal  rows but had 3 chairs left over.

Let x be the number of chairs. So,

9x+3 .....(1)

Then he arranged the chairs in 7 equal rows  but had 19 chairs left over. So,

7x+19 ......(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

9x+3 = 7x+19

9x-7x = 19-3

2x = 16

x = 8

Hence, the correct option is (b).
