Answer:

206 Cornish hens

169 turkeys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of Cornish hens sold. Then c-37 is the number of turkeys sold. The total sales would be ...

... c + (c-37) = 375

... 2c = 412 . . . . collect terms, add 37

... c = 206 . . . . Cornish hens sold

... (c-37) = 169 . . . turkeys sold

_____

<em>Comment on this type of problem</em>

Note that the solution to this problem is that the larger number (number of cornish hens) is half the sum of the total and the difference: (375+37)/2 = 206. This is the general solution for this type of "sum and difference" problem.

The larger contributor is half the total plus half the difference; the smaller contributor is half the total minus half the difference.

Cornish hens = (1/2)(375 +37) = 206

Turkeys = (1/2)(375 -37) = 169

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3 + 8x^(³/₂), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

dy/dx = 12√x

Arc length is:

s = ∫ ds

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + (12√x)²) dx

s = ∫₀¹ √(1 + 144x) dx

If u = 1 + 144x, then du = 144 dx.

s = 1/144 ∫ √u du

s = 1/144 (⅔ u^(³/₂))

s = 1/216 u^(³/₂)

Substitute back:

s = 1/216 (1 + 144x)^(³/₂)

Evaluate between x=0 and x=1.

s = [1/216 (1 + 144)^(³/₂)] − [1/216 (1 + 0)^(³/₂)]

s = 1/216 (145)^(³/₂) − 1/216

s = (145√145 − 1) / 216

The petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are 452 meters tall. A woman who is 1.75 meters tall stands 120 meters from the b
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

75.1^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

H = 452 m is the height of the Petronas tower

h = 1.75 m is the height of the woman

d = 120 m is the distance between the woman and the base of the tower

First of all, we notice that we want to find the angle of elevation between the woman's hat the top of the tower; this means that we have consider the difference between the height of the tower and the height of the woman, so

H' = H-h = 452-1.75=450.25 m

Now we notice that d and H' are the two sides of a right triangle, in which the angle of elevation is \theta. Therefore, we can write the following relationship:

tan \theta = \frac{H'}{d}

since

H' represents the side of the triangle opposite to \theta

d represents the side of the triangle adjacent to \theta

Solving the equation for \theta, we find the angle of elevation:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{H'}{d})=tan^{-1}(\frac{450.25}{120})=75.1^{\circ}

meriva

Answer:

Y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You go over to the X axis, find -2 and go up the line vertically until you touch the black line going across. You look to the right and see it says 3. So 3 is your answer
