Answer:

It will take 5.6 days for the 10 men to dig the same hole 7 m deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Laying the data in column

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

6 men            3 m hole              4 days

10 men           7 m hole             x days

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

As 6 men dig a hole in 4 days, so their rate will be:

rate\:=\:\frac{4}{3}

Then  6 men would take 7\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{28}{3} days to dig a hole of depth 7 m.

As we are letting 10 men do work, so they would

take \frac{6}{10}\times \frac{28}{3}=\frac{28}{5} days.

so

\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{28}{3}=\frac{28}{5}

             =5.6   days

Therefore, it will take 5.6 days for the 10 men to dig the same hole 7 m deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 men → 4 days → 3 metres

1 man → 24 days → 3 metres

1 man → 8 days → 1 metres

1 man → 56 days → 7 metres

10 men → 5.6 days → 7 metres

therefore, 5.6 days

Find the lateral area and surface area of a cone with a radius of 12 and a height of 21
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The Lateral Surface Area is 911.32 square unit and

Total Surface Area is 1361.7 square unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given Cone

Radius (r) = 12

Height (h) = 21

<u>For Lateral Surface Area</u>

<h3><u>Formula</u><u>:</u> </h3>

A = πr√r² + h²

A = 3.14 × 12 × √(12)² + (21)²

A = 3.14 × 12 × √144 + 441

A = 3.14 × 12 × √585

A = 37.68 × 24.18

A = 911.32 square unit

Now,

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>Total</u><u> Surface Area</u>

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

A = πrl + πr²

For Slant height (l)

l² = r² + h²

l² = (12)² + (21)²

l² = 144 + 441

l² = 585

l = 24.18

So,

A = πrl + πr²

A = πr(l + r)

A = 3.14 × 12 × (24.14 + 12)

A = 3.14 × 12 × 36.14

A = 1361.7 square unit

Thus, The <u>Lateral Surface Area</u> is 911.32 square unit and <u>T</u><u>otal Surface Area</u> is 1361.7 square unit.

Find all the zeros of the polynomial function p(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 33x – 29
hram777 [196]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=1, \ \ x=2+5i, \ \ x=2-5i \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I assume that we are working in \mathbb{C}, otherwise there is only one zero which is 1. Please consider the following.

First of all, <u>we can notice that 1 is a trivial solution</u> as

   p(1) = 1^3-5\cdot 1^2 + 33\cdot 1-29=1-5+33-29=0

It means that (x-1) is a factor of p(x) so we can find two real numbers, a and b, so that we can write the following.

p(x)=(x-1)(x^2+ax+b)=x^3+ax^2+bx-x^2-ax-b=x^3+(a-1)x^2+(b-a)x-b

Let's identify like terms as below.

a-1 = -5 <=> a = -5 + 1 = -4

b-a = 33

-b = -29 <=> b = 29

So

\boxed{ \ p(x)=(x-1)(x^2-4x+29) \ }

Now, we need to find the zeroes of the second factor, meaning finding x so that:

x^2-4x+29=0 \ \text{ complete the square, 29 = 25 + 4}  \\ \\  x^2-2\cdot 2 \cdot x+2^2+25=0 \\ \\ (x-2)^2=-25=(5i)^2 \ \text{ take the root } \\ \\x-2=\pm 5i \ \text{ add 2 } \\ \\  x = 2+5i \ \text{ or } \ x = 2-5i

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
