Mandarinka [93]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar, that means their sides are proportional, thus we get the equation

\frac{AD}{AB} =\frac{DE}{BC}

\frac{2}{6} = \frac{x}{12}

6x = 24\\x=4

Thus the value of x is 4

Write two equivalent fractions for 5/10
shtirl [24]
1/2 and 10/20

to get 1/2 you have to divide 5/10 by 5:

  5   /   5          1     
-----          =   ----- 
 10  /   5          2

to get 10/20 you have to multiply 5/10 by 2:

  5   *   2          10
-----           =    ----
 10  *   2          20

Hope it helps! =)

A pizza chef begins to spin a constant volume of dough to make a pie by spinning and tossing the dough into the air, such that t
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a ) dAt/dt  =  50,24 in/min

dh/dt  =  -  0,125 in/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the top is At :

At = π*r²

a)  Tacking derivatives with respect to time:

dAt/dt  =  2* π*r * dr/dt

At   t  =  t₁      r  = 16 in     and  dr/dt =  0,5

Then

dAt/dt  =  2*3,14*16*0,5   in/min

a ) dAt/dt  =  50,24 in/min

b) The volume of the cylinder is:

Vc =  π*r²*h     ( where h is the heigh of the cylinder )

Tacking derivatives with respect to time

dVc/dt  =  2* π*r*h*dr/dt  +  π*r²*dh/dt

But  dVc/dt  = 0  since the volume remains constant, then:

π*r²*dh/dt  = -  2* π*r*h*dr/dt

r*dh/dt  =  -  2*h*dr/dt

dh/dt  = - 2*0,5*2/16  in/min

dh/dt  =  -  0,125 in/min

Find the x intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-1,-16) and y intercept (0,-15)
Arlecino [84]
<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>

<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>

<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>

<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>

<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>

<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>

<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>

<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>

<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>

A container in the shape of this cuboid holds 2 litres of water.
zysi [14]

Given:

Volume of cuboid container = 2 litres

The container has a square base.

Its height is double the length of each edge on its base.

To find:

The height of the container.

Solution:

We know that,

1 litre = 1000 cubic cm

2 litre = 2000 cubic cm

Let x be the length of each edge on its base. Then the height of the container is:

h=2x

The volume of a cuboid is:

V=l\times w\times h

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting V=2000,\ l=x,\ w=x,\ h=2x, we get

2000=x\times x\times 2x

2000=2x^3

Divide both sides by 2.

1000=x^3

Taking cube root on both sides.

\sqrt[3]{1000}=x

10=x

Now, the height of the container is:

h=2x

h=2(10)

h=20

Therefore, the height of the container is 20 cm.
