Answer:2

First, solve for y

-2y=7-4x

Y=2x-7/2

y=mx+b

What we really want to know is the slope(m)

Answer:

Use the slope-intercept form

y = m x + b

to find the slope m and y-intercept b .

Slope:

y-intercept:

− 7 2

Lines with the same slope are parallel.

parallel = 2

How many significant digits are there in 17.0

svet-max [94.6K]

The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

A wire 6 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square for a frame for a stained glass ornament, while the

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Used wire in circle x = 2.64 m

Used in square L - x = 3.36 m

Total wire used 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a wire of 6 meters long.

We will cut it a distance x from one end, to get two pieces

x and 6 - x

We are going to use the piece x to get the circle then

So Perimetr of a circle is 2π*r (r is the radius of the circle) then:

x = 2*π*r ⇒ r = x/2*π

And area would be A(c) = π* (x/2*π)² ⇒ A(c) = x²/4π

From 6 - x we will get a square, and as the perimeter is 4 times the side

we have

( 6 - x )/ 4 is the side of the square

And the area is A(s) = [( 6 - x ) /4]²

Total area as function of x is

A(t) = A(c) + A(s)

A(x) = x²/4π + [ ( 6 - x ) / 4 ]²

A(x) = x²/4π + (36 + x² - 12x) /16

A(x) = 1 / 16π [ 4x² + 36π + πx² - 12π x ]

Taking drivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x) = 1/ 16π [8x +2πx - 12π]

A´(x) = 0 ⇒ 1/ 16π [8x +2πx - 12π] = 0

[8x +2πx - 12π] = 0

8x + 6.28x - 37.68 = 0

14.28x - 37.68 = 0 ⇒ x = 37.68 /14.28

x = 2.64 m length of wire used in the circle

Then the length L for the side of the square is

(6 - x )/4 ⇒ ( 6 - 2.64 )/ 4 ⇒ 3.36 / 4

L = 0.84 m total length of wire used in the square is

3.36 m

And total length of wire used is 6 m

The function is a quadratic function and "a" coefficient is positive then is open upward parabola there is not a maximun

The snack shop makes 3 mixes of nuts in the following proportions.

Julli [10]

Answer:

$A=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}$

$B=\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the snack shop makes 3 mixes of nuts in the following proportions.

Mix I: 6 lbs peanuts, 2 lbs cashews, 2 lbs pecans.

Mix II: 5 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs cashews, 2 lbs pecans.

Mix III: 3 lbs peanuts, 4 lbs cashews, 3 lbs pecans.

they received an order for 25 of mix I, 18 of mix II, and 35 of mix III.

We need to find the matrices A & B for which AB gives the total number of lbs of each nut required to fill the order.

Mix I Mix II Mix III

peanuts 6 5 3

cashews 2 3 4

pecans 2 2 2

$A=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}$

$B=\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

The product of both matrices is

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}6\cdot \:25+5\cdot \:18+3\cdot \:35\\ 2\cdot \:25+3\cdot \:18+4\cdot \:35\\ 2\cdot \:25+2\cdot \:18+3\cdot \:35\end{bmatrix}$

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}345\\ 244\\ 191\end{bmatrix}$

Therefore matrix AB gives the total number of lbs of each nut required to fill the order.
