Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate |3b - 4a| substitute a = -3 and b = -5 in the given expression.

|3(-5) - 4(-3)| , multiply

|-15 +12| , add

|-3| , take the -3 out of the absolute value

Hey there!

|3b - 4a|

= |3(-5) - 4(-3)|

= |-15 - (-12)|

= |-15 + 12|

= |-3|

= |3|

= 3

Therefore, your answer is: 3

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

To increase an amount by 22%, multiply by...

ikadub [295]

1.22 / 1,22

because:
100% of 100 is 100. You multiplied it by one.
110% of 100 is 110. You multiplied it by 1.1 / 1,1

So if you want to multiply by a percentage between 100 and 200 you have to multiply by a number between 1 and 2.

Find the distance between the points (2,8) and (-1,9)

Sphinxa [80]

Use the distance formula: D=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

Plug in:

D=sqrt((9-8)^2+(-1-2)^2)

D=sqrt(1^2+(-3)^2)

D=sqrt(1+9)

D=sqrt(10)

So the distance is about 3.16 units

Hope this helped!

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38$

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38$

$2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38$

Let us find area of window equation as:

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

$L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$

Substitute this value in area equation:

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

$A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

$A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W$

$A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}$

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

$38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0$

$-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4$

$-8W-3\pi W=-152$

$8W+3\pi W=152$

$W(8+3\pi)=152$

$W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}$

$W=8.723210$

$W\approx 8.72$

Upon substituting $W=8.723210$ in equation $L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$ , we will get:

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)$

$L=38-(22.42559622)$

$L=15.57440378$

$L\approx 15.57$

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be $W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

1 (15 Points]. Prove the following statement: is divisible by 3 if only if it is a sum of three consecutive integers. be ddvisbk

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

<em>First.</em> Let us prove that the sum of three consecutive integers is divisible by 3.

Three consecutive integers can be written as k, k+1, k+2. Then, if we denote their sum as n:

n = k+(k+1)+(k+2) = 3k+3 = 3(k+1).

So, n can be written as 3 times another integer, thus n is divisible by 3.

<em>Second. </em>Let us prove that any number divisible by 3 can be written as the sum of three consecutive integers.

Assume that n is divisible by 3. The above proof suggest that we write it as

n=3(k+1)=3k+3=k + k + k +1+2 = k + (k+1) + (k+2).

As k, k+1, k+2 are three consecutive integers, we have completed our goal.
