Answer:

5 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not my solution but thought you could use it!

Answer:

company A:  y= 40+8.5*(x)

company B: y=30+10.5*(x)

5 gigabytes of data would have to be used for company A and B to cost the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost be represented on y axis. so, the equation for company A is:

(for the first month) : y= 40+8.5*(x)

[common monthly charges are $40 and let x represent the number of gigabytes of data used. so, 8.5*x gives cost due to to total gigabytes. hence, i have added 40 and  8.5*x to represent the total cost for first month]

company B:

y=30+10.5*(x)

[obtain this also in the above mentioned manner]

the graph is uploaded in the attachment.

to know about number of gigabytes required to make the costs of both the company equal, we can directly observe in the graph where both the company's lines intersect and the get the corresponding x coordinate. this x coordinate represents the required number of gigabytes. or we can directly equate the above equations.[as shown below]

40+8.5*(x)=30+10.5*(x)

subtracting 30 from both sides,

10+8.5x=10.5x

subtracting 8.5x from both sides,

10=2x

dividing both the sides by 2.5,

5=x [since, 10/2 = 5)

therefore, 5 gigabytes of data would have to be used for company A and B to cost the same amount.

Which algebraic expression represents the phrase?
Andrews [41]
In order to answer this question you must know the meanings of each keyword. In short, here they are:

Sum is for addition
Quotient is for division
Difference is for subtraction
Product is for multiplication

So the "product" of 50 and the number of employees (n) is (50 x n) or B.

Which of the following is NOT a rational number?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A <u>rational number</u> is a number that can be expressed as a fraction (the ratio of two integers).  

<u>Integer</u>:  A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

To calculate if each radical can be expressed as a rational number, convert the decimals into rational numbers, then simplify:

\sqrt{121}=\sqrt{11^2}=11=\dfrac{11}{1} \quad \leftarrow \textsf{rational}

\sqrt{12.1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1210}{100}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{1210}}{\sqrt{100}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{121\cdot 10}}{10}=\dfrac{\sqrt{121}\sqrt{10}}{10}=\dfrac{11\sqrt{10}}{10} \leftarrow \textsf{not rational}

\sqrt{1.21}=\sqrt{\dfrac{121}{100}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{121}}{\sqrt{100}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11^2}}{\sqrt{10^2}}=\dfrac{11}{10} \leftarrow \textsf{rational}

\sqrt{0.0121}=\sqrt{\dfrac{121}{10000}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{121}}{\sqrt{10000}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{11^2}}{\sqrt{100^2}}=\dfrac{11}{100} \leftarrow \textsf{rational}

Therefore, \sf \sqrt{12.1} is not a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin¢=cos90-¢

therefore; 3x-15+x+25=90

4x+10=90

4x=90-10=80

Three spherical balls with radius r are contained in a rectangular box. two of the balls are each touching 5 sides of the rectan
olganol [36]

Answer:

The volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box is 4r^{3}(6 - \pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment below shows the description of the rectangular bow and the three spherical balls.

From the description,  

  • Two of the balls are each touching 5 sides of the rectangular box, say the 5 sides touched by one of the balls are sides 1,2,3,4, and 5; then the other ball will touch sides 2,3,4,5, and 6).  
  • The middle ball also touches four sides of the rectangular box, These four sides touched by the middle ball will be sides 2,3,4, and 5.

This means the balls are tightly fitted into the rectangular box.

Each of the balls has a radius r

Hence, The volume of one of the balls is given by the volume of a sphere

Volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

The volume occupied by one of the balls is \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

∴ The volume occupied by the three spherical balls will be

3 × \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\

= 4\pi r^{3}

The volume occupied by the three spherical balls 4\pi r^{3}

For the rectangular box,

The volume of a rectangular box = l w h

Where l\\ is the length

w is the width and

h is the height

Since the balls are tightly packed,

The width of the rectangular box will be the diameter of the balls

diameter of the balls = 2r

∴ w = 2r

The height of the rectangular box will also be the diameter of the balls

∴ h = 2r

The length of the rectangular box will be 3 times the diameter of the balls

∴l = 3 × 2r = 6r

Hence,

The volume of a rectangular box = 6r × 2r × 2r

= 24r³

The volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box is given by

Volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box =

volume of the rectangular box -  volume occupied by the three spherical balls

Volume of the space between the balls and the rectangular box= 24r³ - 4πr³

=  24r³ - 4πr³

= 4r³(6 - π)
