A rectangular building with a square base is being designed to minimize heat loss. The building designers state that the volume

of the building must be exactly 4000 m^3. Write an equation for y, the height of the building, in terms of x, the length and width of the base.

Answer:

y = 4000/x²

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the building is expressed as;

V = x²y where;

x is the length and width of the base.

y is the height of the building

Given

Volume V = 4000m³

Substitute the given volume into the equation as shown;

4000 = x²y

Make y the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by x²

4000/x² = x²y/x²

4000/x² = y

Rearrange

y = 4000/x²

Hence equation for y, the height of the building, in terms of x, the length and width of the base is expressed as y = 4000/x²

Find the intersection points using substitution or elimination for each system of equations:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so I think I know what the equations are, but I might have misinterpreted them because of the syntax- I think when you ask a question you can use the symbols tool to input it in a more clear way, otherwise you can use parentheses and such.

Problem 1:

(x²)/4 +y²= 1

y= x+1

*substitute for y*

Now we have a one-variable equation we can solve-

x²/4 + (x+1)² = 1

x²/4 + (x+1)(x+1)= 1

x²/4 + x²+2x+1= 1

*subtract 1 from both sides to set equal to 0*

x²/4 +x^2+2x=0

x²/4 can also be 1/4 * x²

1/4 * x² +1*x² +2x = 0

*combine like terms*

5/4 * x^2+2x+ 0 =0

now, you can use the quadratic equation to solve for x

a= 5/4

b= 2

c=0

the syntax on this will be rough, but I'll do my best...

x= (-b ± √(b²-4ac))/(2a)

x= (-2 ±√(2²-4*(5/4)*(0))/(2*(5/4))

x= (-2 ±√(4-0))/(2.5)

x= (-2±2)/2.5

x will have 2 answers because of ±

x= 0 or x= 1.6

now plug that back into one of the equations and solve.

y= 0+1 = 1

y= 1.6+1= 2.6

Hopefully this explanation was enough to help you solve problem 2.

Problem 2:

x² + y² -16y +39= 0

y²- x² -9= 0

If f(1) = 10 and f(n) = f(n = 1) – 4 then find the value of f(5).
svetoff [14.1K]

Given:

f(1)=10 and f(n)=f(n-1)-4.

To find:

The value of f(5).

Solution:

We have,

f(n)=f(n-1)-4

For n=2,

f(2)=f(2-1)-4

f(2)=f(1)-4

f(2)=10-4

f(2)=6

For n=3,

f(3)=f(3-1)-4

f(3)=f(2)-4

f(3)=6-4

f(3)=2

For n=4,

f(4)=f(4-1)-4

f(4)=f(3)-4

f(4)=2-4

f(4)=-2

For n=5,

f(5)=f(5-1)-4

f(5)=f(4)-4

f(5)=-2-4

f(5)=-6

Therefore, the value of f(5) is -6.

Anyone with a knee injury or any doctor! What does it mean if my knee popped locked up all in like 1.5 seconds and then it now h
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Well I recently tore my meniscus a little bit, but you said yours popped/locked, I don't think mine did that. But it could be a bigger meniscus tear then mine, don't take my word for it tho, I'm no orthopedic or doctor. And for the second time in 7-9 months?? I'd definitely go get that checked out if you can.
