A 140-meter rope is cut into two pieces. One piece is four times as long as the other. How long is each piece?

Mathematics
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

28meters and 112meters

Step-by-step explanation:

one piece is x

the other is 4x

therefore; 4x+x=140

5x= 140

divide both sides by 5

x=28

4x=4(28)

=112

How to set the answer up
Korolek [52]

Let s and g represents the numbers of suits and gowns produced.

The number of zippers used is 2s+g.

The number of buttons used is 5s+8g.

In order to use all of the available zippers and buttons, we must have ...

  • 2s + g = 171
  • 5s + 8g = 576

Cramer's rule tells you the solution to the system

  • ax +by = c
  • dx +ey = f

Is given by

  • x = (bf-ey)/(bd-ea)
  • y = (cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

Using this rule on the equations for zippers and buttons, we have

... s = (1·576 -8·171)/(1·5 -8·2) = -792/-11 = 72

... g = (171·5 -2·576)/-11 = -297/-11 = 27

72 suits and 27 gowns can be made from available zippers and buttons.

Find the point (,) on the curve =8 that is closest to the point (3,0). [To do this, first find the distance function between (,)
ELEN [110]

Question:

Find the point (,) on the curve y = \sqrt x that is closest to the point (3,0).

[To do this, first find the distance function between (,) and (3,0) and minimize it.]

Answer:

(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})

Step-by-step explanation:

y = \sqrt x can be represented as: (x,y)

Substitute \sqrt x for y

(x,y) = (x,\sqrt x)

So, next:

Calculate the distance between (x,\sqrt x) and (3,0)

Distance is calculated as:

d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

So:

d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x - 0)^2}

d = \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (\sqrt x)^2}

Evaluate all exponents

d = \sqrt{x^2 - 6x +9 + x}

Rewrite as:

d = \sqrt{x^2 + x- 6x +9 }

d = \sqrt{x^2 - 5x +9 }

Differentiate using chain rule:

Let

u = x^2 - 5x +9

\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 5

So:

d = \sqrt u

d = u^\frac{1}{2}

\frac{dd}{du} = \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}

Chain Rule:

d' = \frac{du}{dx} * \frac{dd}{du}

d' = (2x-5) * \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}}

d' = (2x - 5) * \frac{1}{2u^{\frac{1}{2}}}

d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt u}

Substitute: u = x^2 - 5x +9

d' = \frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}}

Next, is to minimize (by equating d' to 0)

\frac{2x - 5}{2\sqrt{x^2 - 5x + 9}} = 0

Cross Multiply

2x - 5 = 0

Solve for x

2x  =5

x = \frac{5}{2}

Substitute x = \frac{5}{2} in y = \sqrt x

y = \sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}

Split

y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2}

Rationalize

y = \frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 2} *  \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}

y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{\sqrt 4}

y = \frac{\sqrt {10}}{2}

Hence:

(x,y) = (\frac{5}{2},\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}})

Which sequence is arithmetic?
MissTica

Answer:

11, 14, 17, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d between consecutive terms.

Consider 2, 6, 18, 54

6 - 2 = 4, 18 - 6 = 12, 54 - 18 = 36 ← no common difference, not arithmetic

Consider 3, 6, 12, 24

6 - 3 = 3, 12 - 6 = 6, 24 - 12 = 12 ← no common difference, not arithmetic

Consider 11, 14, 17, 20

14 - 11 = 3, 17 - 14 = 3, 20 - 17 = 3 ← common difference of 3, so arithmetic

Consider 7, 11, 13, 18

11 - 7 = 4, 13 - 11 = 2, 18 - 13 = 5 ← no common difference, not arithmetic

The arithmetic sequence is 11, 14, 17, 20

Find the height of a cylinder whose diameter is 42 cm and the area of its curved
Wittaler [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  90 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area of a cylinder is given by the formula ...

  LA = πdh

Filling in the given information, we can solve for h:

  11,880 cm^2 = π(42 cm)h

  h = 1180 cm^2/(42π cm) ≈ 90.0 cm

The height of the cylinder is about 90 cm.
