Answer:

a) Specific volume of the air in balloon is 14.96 ft^3/lbm

b)The weight of the air within the balloon is 1,126.09 lbf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of air, m = 35  lbm

Volume of the air = V

Diameter of balloon = d = 10 ft

radius of the balloon = r= 0.5 d = 5 ft

Volume of balloon = V

V=\frac{4}{3}\pr r^3

V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (5 ft)^3

Specific volume of the air in balloon = S

S=\frac{V}{m}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (5 ft)^3}{35 lbm}

S=14.96 ft^3/lbm

Specific volume of the air in balloon is 14.96 ft^3/lbm

lbf=32.174 lbm ft/s^2

Weight of the air = W

Acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 lbm ft/s^2

Weight = m\times g[/tex]

W=35 lbm\times 32.174 lbm ft/s^2

W=1,126.09 lbf

The weight of the air within the balloon is 1,126.09 lbf.

A regular hexagon is shown.
zhuklara [117]

The central angle of the hexagon is equal to 60º.

Therefore, the trigonometric relationship for the radius is given by:

cos (30) = \frac{a}{c}

Where,

a: apothema of the hexagon

c: Hexagon radius.

Clearing the radio we have:

c = \frac{a}{cos (30)}

Substituting values:

c = \frac{12}{cos (30)}  c = 13.85

Rounding to the nearest whole number we have:

c = 14 in

Answer:

The measure of the radius, c, rounded to the nearest inch is:

C. 14 in.

Explain the steps necessary to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to illustrate the method:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10

First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:

= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10

Now  divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form

(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2  (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.

= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x  + 1^2  and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)

= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10

= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10

= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.

In general form the vertex form of:

ax^2 + bx + c  = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .

This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.

All of the following proportions are equivalent except
shtirl [24]
All are equal except A/D = C/B

I replaced the values with numbers
a=5 b=10 c=50 d=100

10/5=100/50 so it’s not b/a = d/c
5/10=50/100 so it’s not a/b = c/d
5/50 = 10/100 so it’s not a/c = b/d
5/100 is NOT 50/10 so it’s NOT a/d = c/b
