Answer:

a. 270 square feet

b. 3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. $10,260

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular room measures 15 feet by 18 feet. It is going to be carpeted with carpeting that sells for $38 per square foot.

a. What is the area of the room in square feet?

Area of a rectangular room = Length × Width

Length = 15 feet

Width = 18 feet

Area of the room = 15 feet × 18 feet

= 270 square feet

b. If the room is drawn to 1/4 inch represents 1 foot scale, give the dimension of the room in inches on the scale drawing. Please write in decimal form to the nearest hundredth.

From the above question:

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Length = 15 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

15 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 15 × 1/4 inch

x = 3.75 inches

For the Width = 18 feet

Hence:

1 foot = 1/4 inch

18 feet = x inch

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 1/4 inch

x = 4.5 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the room in inches is

3.75 inches by 4.5 inches

c. What is the total price for the carpeting? _

From the above question, we know that: A square foot of carpet is sold for $38

The area of the room is 270 square feet

Hence:

1 ft² = $38

270 ft² = $x

Cross Multiply

1ft² × $x = 270 ft² × $38

$x = 270 ft² × $38/ 1 ft²

$x = $10,260

Therefore, the total price for the carpeting of the room is $10,260.

What is the value of the function at x=−2?

kogti [31]

So for this problem, the x-axis is the horizontal line in the center.

Go to where -2 is on the x-axis as shown. Use your finger to trace along since that's usually helpful in finding the point.

Move your finger from -2 on the x-axis to where the solid black line is. On the right side of that, you can see that the y-axis holds the number 2 which is what the y equals for this solid line.

Therefore, the answer should be c.) y = 2

The results of a test of a metal are shown in the table, with strain in meters per meter, andstress in units called megapascals,

shusha [124]

The metal obey this law for values of strain until 0.05, where we have a linear relationship (each increase of 0.01 in the strain causes an increase of 100 in the stress). After this point, we don't have a linear relationship anymore.

c. Since an increase of 0.01 in the strain causes an increase of 100 in the stress, the slope is:

$m=\frac{100}{0.01}=10000$

Now, calculating the coefficient b (y-intercept), we have:

$\begin{gathered} (0.01,100)\colon \\ 100=0.01\cdot10000+b \\ 100=100+b \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$

So the equation is:

$y=10000x$

The maximum value of stress is 560, and occurs at strain = 0.07.

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2

Vlad [161]

Answer

B) y = 3

Step-by-step explanation

Given the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Isolating x from equation 1:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

$\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}$
