A climber is on a hike. After 2 hours he is at an altitude of 400 feet. After 6 hours, he is at an altitude of 700 feet.

1 answer:

4 0

I would say 75 feet per hour, though I am not 100% sure.

I first found the difference between hours (6-2 = 4) and then found the difference between distance (700 - 400 = 300). I then divided distance by hours and got 75.

Simplifying expressions without negative exponents with variales

Olin [163]

Multiply (or distribute) the exponent outside the parenthesis with every exponent inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. Step 3: Apply the Negative Exponent Rule. Negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.

In 1-5, given: Two similar cylinders with heights of 8 and 5 respectively.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

1. The ratio of their diameters is 8/5 = 8 : 5

2. The ratio of their surface area is (8/5)²

3. The ratio of their volume is (8/5)³

4.The area of the base of the larger cylinder is 128 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two cylinders are similar, we have;

Two cylinders are similar when the ratio of their heights is equal to the ratio of their radii

Therefore, we have;

1. The ratio of the height of the two cylinders = 8/5 = The radio of their radii = r₁/r₂

The ratio of their diameter = D₁/D₂ = 2·r₁/2·r₂ = r₁/r₂ = 8/5

The ratio of their diameters D₁/D₂ = 8/5 = 8 : 5

2. The surface area of the cylinders = 2·π·r·h + 2·π·r²

Therefore, we have;

(2·π·r₁·h₁ + 2·π·r₁²)/(2·π·r₂·h₂ + 2·π·r₂²) = (r₁·h₁ + r₁²)/(r₂·h₂ + r₂²)

h₁ = h₂ × 8/5

r₁ = r₂ × 8/5

= (8/5)²(r₂·h₂ + r₂²)/(r₂·h₂ + r₂²) = (8/5)²

The ratio of their surface area = (8/5)²

3. The volume of the cylinder = π·r²·h

∴ The ratio of the volume = (π·r₁²·h₁)/(π·r₂²·h₂) = (8/5)³ × (π·r₂²·h₂)/(π·r₂²·h₂) = (8/5)³

The ratio of their volume = (8/5)³

4. The ratio of the area of the base of the larger cylinder to the area of the base of the smaller cylinder is (8/5)²

Therefore if the area of the base of the smaller cylinder is 50 cm², the area of the base of the larger cylinder = 50 cm² × (8/5)² = 128 cm²

An Epson HR100 printer priced at $379 is sold for $319. What was the percent price reduction?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The percent price reduction was 15.83%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem

$379 represent the 100%

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent the difference between the original price and the final price

$\frac{\$379}{100\%}=\frac{\$379-\$319}{x}\\\\x=100(60)/379\\\\x=15.83\%$

Let Ebe the set of all even positive integers in the universe Zof integers, and XE : Z R be the characteristic function of E.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\mathbf{X_E (2) = 1}$

$\mathbf{X_E (-2) = 0 }$

$\mathbf{\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = E}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the set of all even positive integers in the universe Z of integers,

i.e

E = {2,4,6,8,10 ....∞}

$X_E : Z \to R$ be the characteristic function of E.

∴

$X_E(x) = \left \{ {{1 \ if \ x \ \ is \ an \ element \ of \ E} \atop {0 \ if \ x \ \ is \ not \ an \ element \ of \ E}} \right.$

For XE(2)

$\mathbf{X_E (2) = 1}$ since x is an element of E (i.e the set of all even numbers)

For XE(-2)

$\mathbf{X_E (-2) = 0 }$ since - 2 is less than 0 , and -2 is not an element of E

For { x ∈ Z: XE(x) = 1}

This can be read as:

x which is and element of Z such that X is also an element of x which is equal to 1.

∴

$\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = \{ x \in Z | x \in E\} \\ \\ \mathbf{\{ x \in Z: X_E(x) = 1\} = E}$

E = {2,4,6,8,10 ....∞}
