John is joining a gym. There is a membership fee of $25 per month and a fee of $2 per workout class he attends. Given this infor

mation, determine the input variable (x), output variable (y) , slope and y intercept that will help you to create an equation in the form y = mx + b to represent his monthly cost at the gym.

Answer:

Input variable x: Number of classes he attends.

Output variable y: Monthly cost

Slope: Cost per class, of $2

y-intercept: Membership fee, of $25.

Function: $y = 2x + 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be represented by a function is the following format:

$y = mx + b$

In which y is the monthly cost(output), m is the cost per class(slope), x is the number of classes he attends(input) and b is the membership fee(y-intercept).

We have that:

There is a membership fee of $25 per month and a fee of $2 per workout class he attends.

This means that $b = 25, m = 2$ . So

$y = 2x + 25$

$3^{x + 2}$ - $3^{x}$ = $3^{x}$ * $3^{2}$ - $3^{x}$ = 9( $3^{x}$ ) - 1( $3^{x}$ ) = 8( $3^{x}$ )

$3^{x + 2}$ - $3^{x}$ = $\frac{8}{9}$

⇒ 8( $3^{x}$ ) = $\frac{8}{9}$

⇒ $3^{x}$ = $\frac{1}{9}$ <em>multiplied both sides by 8</em>

⇒ $3^{x}$ = $\frac{1}{3^{2} }$

⇒ $3^{x}$ = 3⁻²

⇒ x = -2

Answer: x = -2

A solid is formed by adjoining two hemispheres to the ends of a right circular cylinder. An industrial tank of this shape must h

mestny [16]

Answer:

Radius =6.518 feet

Height = 26.074 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of the Solid formed = Volume of the two Hemisphere + Volume of the Cylinder

Volume of a Hemisphere $=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Volume of a Cylinder $=\pi r^2 h$

Therefore:

The Volume of the Solid formed

$=2(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3)+\pi r^2 h\\\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3+\pi r^2 h=4640\\\pi r^2(\frac{4r}{3}+ h)=4640\\\frac{4r}{3}+ h =\frac{4640}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}$

Area of the Hemisphere = $2\pi r^2$

Curved Surface Area of the Cylinder = $2\pi rh$

Total Surface Area=

$2\pi r^2+2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\\=4\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Cost of the Hemispherical Ends = 2 X Cost of the surface area of the sides.

Therefore total Cost, C

$=2(4\pi r^2)+2\pi rh\\C=8\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Recall: $h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}$

Therefore:

$C=8\pi r^2+2\pi r(\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3})\\C=8\pi r^2+\frac{9280}{r}-\frac{8\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{9280}{r}+\frac{24\pi r^2-8\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{9280}{r}+\frac{16\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{27840+16\pi r^3}{3r}$

The minimum cost occurs at the point where the derivative equals zero.

$C^{'}=\frac{-27840+32\pi r^3}{3r^2}$

$When \:C^{'}=0$

$-27840+32\pi r^3=0\\27840=32\pi r^3\\r^3=27840 \div 32\pi=276.9296\\r=\sqrt[3]{276.9296} =6.518$

Recall:

$h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}\\h=\frac{4640}{\pi*6.518^2}-\frac{4*6.518}{3}\\h=26.074 feet$

Therefore, the dimensions that will minimize the cost are:

Radius =6.518 feet

Height = 26.074 feet

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs.

Oxana [17]

When two lines intersect at 90° degrees angle, the lines are perpendicular to each other. Two perpendicular lines, their slope will give a product of -1

i.e. if the first's line slope is 5, then the second line's will be -1 ÷ 5 = -¹/₅

To find the slope of a line, we divide the vertical distance by the horizontal distance.

We'll use the trial and error method to find the right pairing

Let's start with A(3, 3) and B(12, 6)

Vertical distance =

Horizontal distance =

The slope AB = ³/₉ = ¹/₃

We want BC to have a slope -1 ÷ ¹/₃ = -3

Try C(16, -6); check the slope with B(12, 6)

Vertical distance =

Horizontal distance =

Slope of BC = -12 ÷ 4 = -3

The slope BC = -3 is the value we want so, tile 1 pair with tile 4

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's do A(-10, 5) and B(12, 16)

Vertical distance = 16 - 5 = 11

Horizontal distance = 12 - -10 = 22

Slope AB = ¹¹/₂₂ = ¹/₂

The perpendicular slope would be -1 ÷ ¹/₂ = -2

Try C(18, 4) with B(12, 16)

Vertical distance = 16 - 4 = 12

Horizontal distance = 12 - 18 = -6

Slope BC = ¹²/₋₆ = -2

Slope BC and slope AB perpendicular, so tile 3 matches with tile 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's try A(12, -14) and B(-16, 21)

Vertical distance = 21 - -14 = 35

Horizontal distance = -16 - 12 = -28

The slope AB = ³⁵/-₂₈ = ⁵/₋₄

We need the perpendicular slope to be -1 ÷ -⁵/₄ = ⁴/₅

Try C(-11, 25)

Vertical distance with B = 25 - 21 = 4

Horizontal distance with B = -11 - -16 = 5

The slope = ⁴/₅

Tile 7 matches tile 8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take A(-12, -19) and B(20, 45)

Vertical distance = 45 - -19 = 64

Horizontal distance = 20 - -12 = 32

Slope AB = ⁶⁴/₃₂ = 2

We need the perpendicular slope to be -1 ÷ 2 = -¹/₂

We have C(6, 52) and checking the slope with B(20, 45)

Vertical distance = 45 - 52 = -7

Horizontal distance = 20 - 6 = 14

The slope is ⁻⁷/₁₄ = -¹/₂

Tile 9 pairs with tile 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conclusion

Tile 1 ⇒ Tile 4

Tile 3 ⇒ Tile 6

Tile 7 ⇒ Tile 8

Tile 9 ⇒ Tile 2

Tile 5 and Tile 10 do not have pairs
