4/5

The 4 is how many pounds of nuts there are and dividing by 5 shows that you are sharing the nuts equally amongst the 5 friends.

Find the distance between a point (– 2, 3 – 4) and its image on the plane x+y+z=3 measured parallel to a line

Ber [7]

Answer:

The distance is:

$\displaystyle\frac{3\sqrt{142}}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We re-write the equation of the line in the format:

$\displaystyle\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\frac{z+\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{5}{3}}$

Notice we divided the fraction of y by 2/2, and the fraction of z by 3/3.

In that equation, the director vector of the line is built with the denominators of the equation of the line, thus:

$\displaystyle\vec{v}=\left< 3, 2, \frac{5}{3}\right>$

Then the parametric equations of the line along that vector and passing through the point (-2, 3, -4) are:

$x=-2+3t\\y=3+2t\\\displaystyle z=-4+\frac{5}{3}t$

We plug them into the equation of the plane to get the intersection of that line and the plane, since that intersection is the image on the plane of the point (-2, 3, -4) parallel to the given line:

$\displaystyle x+y+z=3\to -2+3t+3+2t-4+\frac{5}{3}t=3$

Then we solve that equation for t, to get:

$\displaystyle \frac{20}{3}t-3=3\to t=\frac{9}{10}$

Then plugging that value of t into the parametric equations of the line we get the coordinates of the intersection:

$\displaystyle x=-2+3\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=\frac{7}{10}\\\displaystyle y=3+2\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=\frac{24}{5} \\\displaystyle z=-4+\frac{5}{3}\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=-\frac{5}{2}$

Then to find the distance we just use the distance formula:

$\displaystyle d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}$

So we get:

$\displaystyle d=\sqrt{\left(-2-\frac{7}{10}\right)^2+\left(3-\frac{24}{5}\right)^2+\left(-4 +\frac{5}{2}\right)^2}=\frac{3\sqrt{142}}{10}$

a food company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes, large a small. A delivery of 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes has a tota

ivann1987 [24]

Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141

You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75

A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.

I need help with this please....Thanks

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The total cost of redecoration is £66, that is less than £75. Tenant can decorate the room for the budget set.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start calculating the areas of shorter and longer walls.

The area of shorter wall is

2.65m*2.98m=7.897m^2.

The area of longer wall is

3.94m*2,65m=10.441m^2.

Together the area of one long and one short wall is

7.897m^2+10.441m^2=18.338m^2.

The area to be painted ( one short and one long wall) is 18.338m^2 that is less than 30m^2, and hence only one tin of paint is needed (costs £16).

If there is assumed that the sheets of wallpaper must be whole from floor to ceiling, the calculations are following.

We get from one roll

10m/2.65m=3.77 sheets; we can use only 3 of them

The width of the walls is 3,94m+2,98m=6,92m,

and division gives 6.92m/0.52m=13,3... .

Hence it requires 14 sheets, that is 5 rolls of wallpaper.

Wallpaper costs 5*£10=£50 and altogether it is needed £50+£16=£66 to redecorate the room.

Find an equation of the line in the form ax+by=c whose x-intercept is 12 and y-intercept is 4, where a, b, and c are integer

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line in $ax+by=c$ form where $a,b,c$ are integers with no factor common to all three, and greater than or equal 0 is:

$x+3y=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x-intercept = 12

y-intercept = 4

To find the equation of line in the form $ax+by=c$ where $a,b,c$ are integers with no factor common to all three, and greater than or equal 0.

Solution:

The x-intercept is the point at which the line cuts the x-axis. The point of x-intercept is given as $(x,0)$

Thus, on point of the line is (12,0)

The y-intercept is the point at which the line cuts the y-axis. The point of y-intercept is given as $(0,y)$ .

Thus, on point of the line is (0,4)

Using the two points we can find the slope of the line using the slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

So, slope of the line can b given as:

$m=\frac{4-0}{0-12}$

$m=\frac{4}{-12}$

$m=-\frac{1}{3}$

The slope intercept form of the equation of he line is given as:

$y=mx+b$

where $m$ represents slope of the line and $b$ represents the y-intercept.

So, the equation of the line can be given as:

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+4$

Multiplying each term by 3 to remove fraction.

$3y=3.-\frac{1}{3}x+4(3)$

$3y=-x+12$

Adding $x$ both sides.

$3y+x=-x+x+12$

$3y+x=12$

Thus, the equation of the line in $ax+by=c$ form where $a,b,c$ are integers with no factor common to all three, and greater than or equal 0 is:

$x+3y=12$
