Answer:

10 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The difficulty with word problems is translating them into math.

Let's do that

---------------------

The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62.

let's call the bigger number b, and the smaller number s

b + 2s = 62

Three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116

3b = s + 116

-----------------------

Now manipulate one of the equations to isolate the variable

3b = s + 116

Subtract 116 from both sides

3b - 116 = s

substitute for s = 3b - 116 in

b + 2s = 62

b + 2(3b - 116) = 62

Distribute

b + 6b - 232 = 62

combine like terms

7b = 294

Divide both sides by 7

b = 42

to find s plug in b = 42 into

b + 2s = 62

42 + 2s = 62

subtract 42 from both side

2s = 20

divide both sides by 2

s = 10

Six identical squares are cut from the corners and edges of an 80 cm by 50 cm cardboard rectangle. the remaining piece is folded
Anna11 [10]
Check the picture.

let the length of a side of each of the squares removed be x.

The box formed will have dimensions: 80-2x, 50-2x, x(the height)

So the volume can be expressed as a function of x as follows:

f(x)=(80-2x)(50-2x)x=[4000-160x-100x+4 x^{2} ]x=(4 x^{2}-260x+4000)x

so f(x)=4 x^{3}-260x^{2}+4000x

the solutions of f'(x)=0 gives the inflection points, so the candidates for maxima points,

f'(x)=12x^{2}-520 x +4000=0

solving the quadratic equation, either by a calculator, graphing software, or by other algebraic methods as the discriminant formula, we find the solutions

x=10 and x=33.333

plug in f(x) these values to see which greater:

f(10)=(80-20)(50-20)10=60*30*10=18000 cm cubed

f(33.333)=(80-66.666)(50-66.666)33.333= which is negative because (50-66.666)<0



Answer: 18000 cm cubed

0.27 recurring as a fraction please
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

\frac{3}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming the recurring digits are 0.272727.... , then

we require 2 equations with the repeating digits placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.2727.... (1) ← multiply both sides by 100

100x = 27.2727... (2)

subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the repeating digits

99x = 27 ( divide both sides by 99 )

x = \frac{27}{99} = \frac{3}{11} ← in simplest form
