1052 toothpicks can be grouped into 4 groups of third power of 6 (6^{3}), 5 groups of second power of 6 (6^{2}), 1 group of first power of 6 (6^{1}) and 2 groups of zeroth power of 6 (6^{0}).

The number 1052, written as a base 6 number is 4512

Given: 1052 toothpicks

To do: The objective is to group the toothpicks in powers of 6 and to write the number 1052 as a base 6 number

First we note that, 6^{0}=1,6^{1}=6,6^{2}=36,6^{3}=216,6^{4}=1296

This implies that 6^{4} exceeds 1052 and thus the highest power of 6 that the toothpicks can be grouped into is 3.

Now, 6^{3}=216 and 216\times 5=1080, 216\times 4=864. This implies that 216\times 5 exceeds 1052 and thus there can be at most 4 groups of 6^{3}.

Then,

1052-4\times6^{3}

1052-4\times216

1052-864

188

So, after grouping the toothpicks into 4 groups of third power of 6, there are 188 toothpicks remaining.

Now, 6^{2}=36 and 36\times 5=180, 36\times 6=216. This implies that 36\times 6 exceeds 188 and thus there can be at most 5 groups of 6^{2}.

Then,

188-5\times6^{2}

188-5\times36

188-180

8

So, after grouping the remaining toothpicks into 5 groups of second power of 6, there are 8 toothpicks remaining.

Now, 6^{1}=6 and 6\times 1=6, 6\times 2=12. This implies that 6\times 2 exceeds 8 and thus there can be at most 1 group of 6^{1}.

Then,

8-1\times6^{1}

8-1\times6

8-6

2

So, after grouping the remaining toothpicks into 1 group of first power of 6, there are 2 toothpicks remaining.

Now, 6^{0}=1 and 1\times 2=2. This implies that the remaining toothpicks can be exactly grouped into 2 groups of zeroth power of 6.

This concludes the grouping.

Thus, it was obtained that 1052 toothpicks can be grouped into 4 groups of third power of 6 (6^{3}), 5 groups of second power of 6 (6^{2}), 1 group of first power of 6 (6^{1}) and 2 groups of zeroth power of 6 (6^{0}).

Then,

1052=4\times6^{3}+5\times6^{2}+1\times6^{1}+2\times6^{0}

So, the number 1052, written as a base 6 number is 4512.

Evaluate the integral. (Assume a ≠ b. Remember to use absolute values where appropriate. Use C for the constant of integration.)
Bess [88]

Answer:

<u><em>F(x)= 5*[\frac{x^{3} }{3} + (a*b)*\frac{x^{2} }{2} + a*b*x + C.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>First step we aplicate distributive property to the function.</em></u>

<u><em>5*(x+a)*(x+b)= 5*[x^{2}+x*b+a*x+a*b]</em></u>

<u><em>5*[x^{2}+x*(b+a)+a*b]= f(x), where a, b are constant and a≠b</em></u>

<u><em>integrating we find ⇒∫f(x)*dx= F(x) + C, where C= integration´s constant</em></u>

<u><em>∫^5*[x^{2}+x*(a+b)+a*b]*dx, apply integral´s property</em></u>

<u><em>5*[∫x^{2}dx+∫(a*b)*x*dx + ∫a*b*dx], resolving the integrals </em></u>

<u><em>5*[\frac{x^{3} }{3} + (a*b)*\frac{x^{2} }{2} + a*b*x</em></u>

<u><em>Finally we can write the function F(x)</em></u>

<u><em>F(x)= 5*[\frac{x^{3} }{3} + (a*b)*\frac{x^{2} }{2} + a*b*x ]+ C.</em></u>

Find the sum and simplify
statuscvo [17]

<u>Answer</u>:

[ ( 2 x^2 - x - 5 ) ] / [ ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ]

option c). is correct.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

( x + 1 ) / ( x + 2 ) + ( x - 1 ) / ( x - 3 )

= > [ ( x + 1 ) ( x - 3 ) + ( x - 1 ) ( x + 2 ) ] / [ ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ]

= > [ ( x^2 - 3 x + x - 3 + x^2 + 2 x - x - 2 ) ] / [ ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ]

= > [ ( 2 x^2 - x - 5 ) ] / [ ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ]

Hence we get required answer!

Daniel [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

given, f=0.445 Kg

m=?

a=75 N

f=m x a

75=0.445 x m

75/0.445=x

168 Kg =m
