Determine whether quantities vary directly or inversely and find the constant of variation. 16 factory workers made 40 pieces in

a certain amount of time. How many workers are needed to make (a) 20, (b)25 and (c)100 pieces in the same amount of time, assuming each worker works at the same rate?

Answer:

Part A) 8\ workers

Part B) 10\ workers

Part C) 40\ workers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

Let

x -----> the number of workers

y ----> the number of pieces made

In this problem

The relation between the variables x and y represent a direct variation (proportional variation)

so

For x=16, y=40

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

k=\frac{y}{x}

substitute the values

k=\frac{y}{x}

k=\frac{40}{16}\\k=2.5\ \frac{pieces}{worker}

The linear equation is equal to

y=2.5x

Part A) How many workers are needed to make 20 pieces

For y=20 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

20=2.5x

x=8\ workers

Part B) How many workers are needed to make 25 pieces

For y=25 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

25=2.5x

x=10\ workers

Part C) How many workers are needed to make 100 pieces

For y=100 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

100=2.5x

x=40\ workers

3. Suppose U= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} is the universal set and Q= {3,6,9}. What is Q'?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

3. Q' = {1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 10} ⇒ answer C

4. A ⊂ B is False ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

3.

- The universal set U = {1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10}

- The set Q = {3 , 6 , 9}

- We need to find the complement of set Q (Q')

- The complement set of Q is the set of all elements belongs to the

 universal set U but does not belong to the set Q

- That means take off all the elements belongs to set Q from the

  universal set U

∵ U = {1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10}

∵ Q = {3 , 6 , 9}

- Cancel from set U the elements 3 , 6 , 9

∴ Q' = {1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 10}

4.

- The universal set U = {1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8}

- The set A= {1 , 3 , 5 , 7}

- The set B= {4 , 5 , 6}

- A ⊂ B means every element in set A belongs to set B

∵ A= {1 , 3 , 5 , 7}

∵ B= {4 , 5 , 6}

∵ The elements in set A ∉ in set B

∴ A ⊂ B is False

I don’t know how to do this. Can you help please help me ?
N76 [4]

Answer:

  • sin = -√3/2
  • cos = -1/2
  • tan = √3
  • sec = -2
  • csc = (-2/3)√3
  • cot = (√3)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached picture for a drawing of the angle and its terminal point coordinates. Those are (cos(4π/3), sin(4π/3)), so we have the following trig function values:

  sin(4π/3) = -√3/2

  cos(4π/3) = -1/2

  tan(4π/3) = sin/cos = √3

  sec(4π/3) = 1/cos = -2

  csc(4π/3) = 1/sin = -(2√3)/3

  cot(4π/3) = 1/tan = (√3)/3

<em>Additional comment</em>

It helps to know that 1/√a = (√a)/a. This lets you write the ratios with a rational denominator in each case.

Please help me with this!! Number 6 is the problem
artcher [175]
The first two consecutive odd integers are 1 and 3.
The height has to be 3 since the question implies that the height is exceeds the base. So the base is 1. b = 1 cm

The area of a triangle is base*height*(1/2)
Plug in the values for base and height.
1*3*(1/2)

Simplify. Your final answer should be 1.5 cm^2
