Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , such that for corresponding parts of prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ (for heights, in particular) we have $k= \frac{height\ of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\ P_{2} }$ . In our case $k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}$ .
For surfaces area we have $\frac{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}$ .
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)

(45pts) An elevator holds at most 1,400 pounds. A team of movers and their cart have a combined weight of 1,200 pounds. If each

emmainna [20.7K]

Let $x$ be the number of boxes the team brings with them. Their weight combined with the boxes can't exceed the capacity of 1400. Assuming the elevator runs fine at that exact weight, you want to find the number of boxes, each of which contributes 40 pounds. This is given by the equation

$1400=1200+40x$

Solving for $x$ , you have

$1400=1200-40x$
$200=40x$
$x=5$

So the team can bring *at most* 5 boxes at a time.

What are the critical points for the inequality 2x+5/x-2≥x-1/x-2?

Pachacha [2.7K]

1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point

=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.

So x = 2 is a critical point

2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)

Multiply both terms:

[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]

for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1

=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5

=> x = - 6

Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.

Answer: option B.

Find difference 7 7/8-3 1/4

umka2103 [35]

So first convert to improper fractions
7 and 7/8=7+7/8=56/8+7/8=63/8

3 and 1/4=3+1/4=12/4+1/4=13/4

so nowe we have
63/8+13/4
convert bottom number to same
which is 8
13/4 times 2/2=26/8
now we have
63/8-26/8=37/8=4 and 5/8
answer is 4 and 5/8
