An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is

exactly 4 times smaller than the actual bridge. 16 ounces = 1 pound. 2,000 pounds = 1 ton. If a test of the model shows that it holds 8,000 ounces, will the bridge hold 1 ton?
fill in thw blanks please extra points:)​

Answer:

First blank- 32000 ounces

Second blank- 2000 pounds

Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4

The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces

The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces

16 ounces = 1 pound

32000 ounces =  x pounds

==>  = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds

2000 pounds = 1 ton

therefore the bridge holds 1 ton

Subtract 9/4 from both sides
3/4x=6 3/4
Multiply them by 4/3

How do ypu slove dis? <br>y^2(q-4) - c(q - 4)
Annette [7]
<span><span> y2(q-4)-c(q-4)</span> </span>Final result :<span> (q - 4) • (y2 - c) </span>

Step by step solution :<span>Step  1  :</span><span>Equation at the end of step  1  :</span><span><span> ((y2) • (q - 4)) - c • (q - 4) </span><span> Step  2  :</span></span><span>Equation at the end of step  2  :</span><span> y2 • (q - 4) - c • (q - 4) </span><span>Step  3  :</span>Pulling out like terms :

<span> 3.1 </span>     Pull out     q-4 

After pulling out, we are left with : 
      (q-4) • (<span> y2</span>  *  1 +( c  *  (-1) ))

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

<span> 3.2 </span>     Factoring: <span> y2-c</span> 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, <span> A2 - B2  </span>can be factored into <span> (A+B) • (A-B)

</span>Proof :<span>  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 <span>- AB + AB </span>- B2 = 
        <span> A2 - B2</span>

</span>Note : <span> <span>AB = BA </span></span>is the commutative property of multiplication. 

Note : <span> <span>- AB + AB </span></span>equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : <span> y2  </span>is the square of <span> y1 </span>

Check :<span> <span> c1  </span> is not a square !! 
</span>Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares

Final result :<span> (q - 4) • (y2 - c) </span><span>

A line with a slope of -1 passes through the point (0,0). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?​ Please answer quickly.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1 and it passes through point (0,0)

Taking another point (x,y) on the line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

For our case; slope = \frac{y - 0}{x - 0} = -1

Cross multiplying this gives;

y = -x
