If all the books on a shelf with fewer than 45 books were put into piles of five books each, no books would remain. If the same

book were put into piles of seven books each, two books would remain. What is the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf?

Answer:

Hence the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Here the given number of books is m,  

m < 45.  

If they are arranged into piles of five books, each no books would remain.  

m is divisible by 5.  

The last digit of m would be 5 or 0.    

The same number of books, when arranged with piles of 7 books each, two books remain.  

m-2 is divisible by 7.  

Step 2:-  

The last digit of m is 5 or 0.  

m-2 will have the last digit 3 or 8.    

Multiples of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35, 42;  

among which only number 28 has the last digit 8 or 3.    

m - 2 = 28  

m = 30  

The greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

a dock is 5 feet above water. suppose you stand on the edge of the dock and pull a rope to a boat at a constant rate of 2 ft/s.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The boat is approaching the dock at a speed of 3.20 ft/s when it is 4 feet from the dock.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the situation described is shown in the attached image.

The distance of the boat to the dock along the water level at any time is x

The distance from the person on the dock to the boat at any time is y

The height of the dock is 5 ft.

These 3 dimensions form a right angle triangle at any time with y being the hypotenuse side.

According to Pythagoras' theorem

y² = x² + 5²

y² = x² + 25

(d/dt) y² = (d/dt) (x² + 5²)

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt) + 0

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt)

When the boat is 4 ft from dock, that is x = 4 ft,

The boat is being pulled at a speed of 2 ft/s, that is, (dy/dt) = 2 ft/s

The speed with which the boat is approaching the dock = (dx/dt)

Since we are asked to find the speed with which the boat is approaching the dock when the boat is 4 ft from the dock

When the boat is 4 ft from the dock, x = 4 ft.

And we can obtain y at that point.

y² = x² + 5²

y² = 4² + 5² = 16 + 25 = 41

y = 6.40 ft.

So, to the differential equation relation

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt)

when x = 4 ft,

y = 6.40 ft

(dy/dt) = 2 ft/s

(dx/dt) = ?

2 × 6.40 × 2 = 2 × 4 × (dx/dt)

25.6 = 8 (dx/dt)

(dx/dt) = (25.6/8) = 3.20 ft/s.

Hope this Helps!!!

I"m actually begging you to help
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

(Square, Right Triangle)

18 meters²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the shape into a square and right triangle, see the attachment :)

The area of the square is the length times the width. So,

3 · 3 = 9

The area of the square is 9 m².

The triangle's area is the base times the height divided by 2. So,

6 · 3 = 18

18 / 2 = 9

The triangle has an area of 9 m².

Add these together.

9 + 9 = 18

The area is 18 meters².
