Bremen’age is 28

Set x is omane’s age
Y is bremen’s age
X=y + 4
X+ y = 60
=> x= 32
Y=28

Answer:

Bremen's age is 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Bremen's age= x

Omane's age= x+4

x+x+4=60

2x+4=60

2x=60-4

2x=56

<u>2</u><u>x</u><u> </u>= <u>5</u><u>6</u>

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 19,652 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the cardboard box be x cm by y cm by z cm.

The surface area of the cardboard box without lid is

f(x,y,z)= xy+2xz+2yz.....(1)

Given that the volume of the cardboard is 19,652 cm³.

Therefore xyz =19,652

$\Rightarrow z=\frac{19652}{xy}$ ......(2)

putting the value of z in the equation (1)

$f(x,y)=xy+2x(\frac{19652}{xy})+2y(\frac{19652}{xy})$

$\Rightarrow f(x,y)=xy+\frac{39304}{y})+\frac{39304}{x}$

The partial derivatives are

$f_x=y-\frac{39304}{x^2}$

$f_y=x-\frac{39304}{y^2}$

To find the dimension of the box set the partial derivatives $f_x=0$ and $f_y=0$ .Therefore $y-\frac{39304}{x^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{39304}{x^2}$ .......(3)

and $x-\frac{39304}{y^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{y^2}$ .......(4)

Now putting the x in equation (3)

$y =\frac {39304}{(\frac{39304}{y^2})^2}$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{y^4}{39304}$

$\Rightarrow y^3= 39304$

⇒y=34 cm

Then $\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{34^2}$ =34 cm.

Putting the value of x and y in the equation (2)

$z=\frac{19652}{34 \times 24}$

=17 cm.

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

Circle P is described by the equation (x−1)2+(y+6)2=9 and circle Q is described by the equation (x+4)2+(y+14)2=4. Select from th

xeze [42]

Answer:

(a) Circle Q is 9.4 units to the center of circle P

(b) Circle Q has a smaller radius

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P:(x - 1)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 9$

$Q:(x + 4)^2 + (y + 14)^2 = 4$

Solving (a): The distance between both

The equation of a circle is:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where

$Center: (h,k)$

$Radius:r$

P and Q can be rewritten as:

$P:(x - 1)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 3^2$

$Q:(x + 4)^2 + (y + 14)^2 = 2^2$

So, for P:

$Center = (1,-6)$

$r = 3$

For Q:

$Center = (-4,-14)$

$r = 2$

The distance between them is:

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

Where:

$Center = (1,-6)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$Center = (-4,-14)$ --- $(x_2,y_2)$

So:

$d = \sqrt{(1 - -4)^2 + (-6 - -14)^2$

$d = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (8)^2$

$d = \sqrt{25 + 64$

$d = \sqrt{89$

$d = 9.4$

Solving (b): The radius;

In (a), we have:

$r = 3$ --- circle P

$r = 2$ --- circle Q

By comparison

$2 < 3$

<em>Hence, circle Q has a smaller radius</em>
