Mr. Hammond is the volunteer coordinator for a company that puts on running races. Last year, the company organized 7 short race

s and 8 long races, which required a total of 804 volunteers. This year, the company organized 11 short races and 5 long races, which required 688 volunteers in total. How many volunteers does each type of race require?

Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Which of the following are square roots of —8 + 8i/3? Check all that apply.
8090 [49]

Answer:

Options (2) and (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, \sqrt{-8+8i\sqrt{3}}=(a+bi)

(\sqrt{-8+8i\sqrt{3}})^2=(a+bi)^2

-8 + 8i√3 = a² + b²i² + 2abi

-8 + 8i√3 = a² - b² + 2abi

By comparing both the sides of the equation,

a² - b² = -8 -------(1)

2ab = 8√3

ab = 4√3 ----------(2)

a = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b}

By substituting the value of a in equation (1),

(\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b})^2-b^2=-8

\frac{48}{b^2}-b^2=-8

48 - b⁴ = -8b²

b⁴ - 8b² - 48 = 0

b⁴ - 12b² + 4b² - 48 = 0

b²(b² - 12) + 4(b² - 12) = 0

(b² + 4)(b² - 12) = 0

b² + 4 = 0 ⇒ b = ±√-4

                     b = ± 2i

b² - 12 = 0 ⇒ b = ±2√3

Since, a = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{b}

For b = ±2i,

a = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\pm2i}

  = \pm\frac{2i\sqrt{3}}{(-1)}

  = \mp 2i\sqrt{3}

But a is real therefore, a ≠ ±2i√3.

For b = ±2√3

a = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\pm 2\sqrt{3}}

a = ±2

Therefore, (a + bi) = (2 + 2i√3) and (-2 - 2i√3)

Options (2) and (3) are the correct options.

A rectangular pool contains 920 cubic meters of water. the pool is .4 meter deep and 100 meters wide. How long is the pool?
LekaFEV [45]
Hi there,

Sol:
Length of the swimming pool = 260 m
Breadth of the swimming pool = 140 m

Let the height of the water in the swimming pool after pouring water be h meters.

Volume of the water poured = 54600 m3

l x b x h = 54600
260 x 140 x h = 54600
h = (54600) / (260 x 140)
h = 1.5 m = 150 cm

Hope it helps
