Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easier way to figure this is by using the concept of torque in physics. If the torque of the man is greater than that experienced by the box, the lever will tilt in the man's favor (in other words, he will move down and the box will be lifted). Torque is found by multiplying the perpendicular force by the length of the lever arm. Because we want the man's torque to be greater than the box's torque, the inequality is:

\tau_{man}>\tau_{box} and

180r>500(.1524) That decimal is 6 inches in terms of meters.

180r > 76.2 so

r > .42 meters or `16.67 inches. The man has to sit at a distance greater than 16.67 inches in order for the box to be lifted by the lever.

LCD of (2/x^2) - (7/4x^2+12x)?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

4x³ + 12x²

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the denominators are x² and 4x although that is not what you wrote.

x² = x² (already factored)

4x² + 12x = 4x(x + 3)

LCD = 4 × x² × (x + 3)

LCD = 4x³ + 12x²

Help me please :>>>>>>>
Ket [755]

Answer:

C. Median

Step-by-step explanation:

If both sides are <em>symmetrical,</em> then there is no need to try and find the mean or anything because you already have the middle point and no outliers. <u>If there were outliers it'd be different</u>, unless the outliers were symmetrical with the rest of it, then the median would still be a good option.

Need some help with multiplying algebraic fractions
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

a=10, b=5, c=2, d=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each variable together

5*2=10

8*3=24

10x^{3}y^{2}/24x

the coefficients (numbers) can each be divided by 2

5x^{3} y^{2}/12x

subtract the "x" exponents together

5x^{2} y^{2}/12
