The yield of strawberry plants depends on the amount of fertilizer fed to the plants. Agricultural research shows that an acre o

f strawberry plants will yield 770 pounds of strawberries when 70 cubic feet of fertilizer are applied. If 90 cubic of feet of fertilizer are applied, the yield will be 990 pounds of strawberries. Use linear interpolation to estimate the yield if 72 cubic feet of fertilizer are applied.

Answer:

$792\ \text{pounds}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x_1=70$ cubic feet of fertilizer is used in $y_1=770$ pounds of strawberries

$x_2=90$ cubic feet of fertilizer is used in $y_2=990$ pounds of strawberries

$x=72$ cubic feet of fertilizer is used

Linear interpolation is applied

$y=y_1+\dfrac{(x-x_1)(y_2-y_1)}{x_2-x_1}\\\Rightarrow y=770+\dfrac{(72-70)(990-770)}{90-70}\\\Rightarrow y=792\ \text{pounds}$

72 cubic feet of fertilizer will yield $792\ \text{pounds}$ of strawberries.

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 9 minutes. If there are 610grams of

Nookie1986 [14]

A half-life of 9 minutes corresponds to a decay factor <em>k</em> such that

$\dfrac12=e^{9k}\implies k=-\dfrac19\ln\left(\dfrac12\right)$

Then the time it takes for the substance to decay from 610 g to 124 g is time <em>t </em>such that

$124\,\mathrm g=(610\,\mathrm g)e^{kt}$

Solve for <em>t</em> :

$\dfrac{62}{305}=e^{kt}$

$\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)=kt$

$t=\dfrac1k\ln\left(\dfrac{62}{305}\right)\approx20.686$

so it takes about 20.7 min for the 610 g sample to decay down to 124 g.

What is the distance between (0, 0) and (-7, -3)? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Distance = -7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Distance Formula, √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

√((-7 - 0))^2 + (-3 - 0)^2) = 7.6

Solve for p and simplify

nadezda [96]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{1}{2} + p = \dfrac{5}{8}$

Add 1/2 to both sides.

$-\dfrac{1}{2} + p + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{1}{2}$

$p = \dfrac{5}{8} + \dfrac{4}{8}$

$p = \dfrac{9}{8}$

Evaluate the integral. W (x2 y2) dx dy dz; W is the pyramid with top vertex at (0, 0, 1) and base vertices at (0, 0, 0), (1, 0,

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

$\mathbf{\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \dfrac{2}{15}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz$

where;

the top vertex = (0,0,1) and the base vertices at (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), and (1, 1, 0)

As such , the region of the bounds of the pyramid is: (0 ≤ x ≤ 1-z, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1-z, 0 ≤ z ≤ 1)

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \int ^1_0 \int ^{1-z}_0 \int ^{1-z}_0 (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz$

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \int ^1_0 \int ^{1-z}_0 ( \dfrac{(1-z)^3}{3}+ (1-z)y^2) dy \ dz$

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \int ^1_0 \ dz \ ( \dfrac{(1-z)^3}{3} \ y + \dfrac {(1-z)y^3)}{3}] ^{1-x}_{0}$

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \int ^1_0 \ dz \ ( \dfrac{(1-z)^4}{3}+ \dfrac{(1-z)^4}{3}) \ dz$

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz =\dfrac{2}{3} \int^1_0 (1-z)^4 \ dz$

$\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz =- \dfrac{2}{15}(1-z)^5|^1_0$

$\mathbf{\iiint_W (x^2+y^2) \ dx \ dy \ dz = \dfrac{2}{15}}$
