Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-4)= 4(2x + 1)

2x -8 = 8x +4 . . . . . . use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses

-12 = 6x . . . . . . . . . . . add -4-2x to both sides

-2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

<h2>Question </h2>

Perform each of the following computations using the measured quantities below.

Write your final answer with the correct number of significant figures in proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point).

a. 917.2 + 45.63 = ___________

b. 3.423 x 10^-4 - 6.42 x 10^-3 =_________

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 9.6 x 10²

(b) -6.1 x 10⁻³

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

(a) 917.2 + 45.63

First add the two numbers as follows (ensure that the decimal numbers are well aligned);

9 1 7 . 2

+ 4 5 . 6 3

9 6 2 . 8 3

To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point),

i. Express the number is standard form

962.83 = 9.6283 x 10²

Note that;

From the result in (i)

9.6283 = mantissa

10 = base

² = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

9.6 x 10²

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is 9.6 x 10².

(b) 3.423 x 10⁻⁴ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

Find the difference between the two numbers as follows;

i. Re-write the numbers so that they both have the same exponents:

0.3423 x 10⁻³ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

ii. Factor out 10⁻³

10⁻³(0.3423 - 6.42)

iii. Solve the bracket

10⁻³(-6.0777)

iv. Rewrite the result in (iii)

-6.0777 x 10⁻³

To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point),

i. Express the number is standard form

-6.0777 x 10⁻³ [already in standard form]

Note that;

From the result in (i)

-6.0777 = mantissa

10 = base

⁻³ = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

-6.1 x 10⁻³

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is -6.1 x 10⁻³.

This question is not complete. This is because it lacks the appropriate diagram containing necessary information to solve this question.

Please find attached the appropriate diagram to solve for this question

Complete Question :

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slant height?

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram, we are given the following information

Height of the cone = 20 inches

Radius of the cone = 15 inches.

The formula for the slant height of a cone represented by l =

l² = r² + h²

l = √(r² + h²)

l = √(15² + 20²)

l = √(225 + 400)

l = √625

l = 25 inches

Therefore, the slant height of this cone = 25 inches

Answer:

Question 1a. i) $x=1.8m$

Question 1a. ii) $Volume=27.6m^3$

Question 1b) $Volume=65.9m^3$

Explanation:

Question 1 a. i) Find the value of x.

$tan(\theta )=\dfrac{opposite\text{ }leg}{adjacent\text{ }leg}$

For the smalll triangle you can write:

$tan(\theta )=\dfrac{x}{1m}$

For tthe big triangle:

$tan(\theta )=\dfrac{x+2.7m}{2.5m}$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x}{1m}=\dfrac{x+2.7m}{2.5m}$

Solve for x:

$2.5x=x+2.7m\\\\2.5x-x=2.7m\\\\1.5x=2.7m\\\\x=2.7m/1.5\\\\x=1.8m$

Question 1a ii) Find the volume of the frustrum

Find the volume of a cone with height = 2.7m + 1.8m = 4.5m, and radius = 2.5m

Formula:

$Volume=(1/3)\pi \times radius^2\times height$

Substitute:

$Volume=(1/3)\pi \times (2.5m)^2\times 4.5m=9.375\pi m^3$

Find the volume of a cone with heigth = 1.8m and radius = 1m

$Volume=(1/3)\pi \times (1m)^2\times 1.8m=0.6\pi m^3$

Subtract the volume of the small cone from the volume of the big cone

$Volume\text{ }of\text{ }frustrum=9.375\pi m^3-0.6\pi m^3=8.775\pi m^3\approx 27.6m^3$

Question 1b. Calculate the volume of the bin

i) Upper frustrum

This is the same frustrum from the equation of above, thus ist volume is 27.6m³.

ii) Lower frustrum

$\dfrac{x}{2.0m}=\dfrac{x+2.4m}{2.5m}$

$2.5x=2(x+2.4m)\\\\2.5x=2x+4.8m\\\\0.5x=4.8m\\\\x=9.6m$

$Volume=(1/3)\pi \times (2.5m)^2\times (9.6m+2.4m)-(2.0m)^2\times (9.6m)$

$Volume=38.3m^3$

iii) Add the volume of the two frustrums

$Volume=27.6m^3+38.3m^3=65.9m^3$
