The weight of the new student is 27 kg.

Average weight

= total weight ÷total number of students

<h3>1) Define variables</h3>

Let the total weight of the 35 students be y kg and the weight of the new student be x kg.

<h3>2) Find the total weight of the 35 students</h3>

<u>45 =  \frac{y}{35}</u>

y= 35(45)

y= 1575 kg

<h3>3) Write an expression for average weight of students after the addition of the new student</h3>

New total number of students

= 35 +1

= 36

Total weight

= total weight of 35 students +weight of new students

= y +x

44.5  =  \frac{y + x}{36}

<h3>4) Substitute the value of y</h3>

44.5 =  \frac{1575 + x}{36}

<h3>5) Solve for x</h3>

36(44.5)= 1575 +x

1602= x +1575

<em>Subtract 1575 from both sides:</em>

x= 1602 -1575

x= 27

Thus, the weight of the new student is 27 kg.

A forestry company hopes to generate credits from the carbon sequestered in its plantations.The equation describing the forest w
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

The equation describing the forest wood biomass per hectare as a function of plantation age t is:

y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4

The equation that describes the annual growth in wood biomass is:

y ′ (t) = 0.01t + 0.072t^2 - 0.018t^3

To find:

a) The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value

b) when does y ′ (t) achieve its highest value?

a)

To determine the year the highest possible value was achieved, we will set the derivative y'(t) to zero. The values of t will be substituted into the second derivative to get the highest value

\begin{gathered} 0\text{ = 0.01t + 0.072t}^2\text{ - 0.018t}^3 \\ using\text{ a graphing tool,} \\ t\text{  = -0.1343} \\ \text{t = 0} \\ t\text{ = 4.1343} \\  \\ Since\text{ we can't have time as a negative value, t = 0 or t = 4.1343} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} To\text{ ascertain which is the maximum, we take a second derivative} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen = 0.01 + 0.144t - 0.054t}^2 \\  \\ substitute\text{ t = 0 and t = 4.13 respectively} \\ when\text{ t = 0 } \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen0\rparen - 0.054\lparen0\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0 - 0} \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 > 0} \\  \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= 0.01 + 0.144\lparen4.13\rparen - 0.054\lparen4.13\rparen}^2 \\ y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen= -0.316 < 0} \\  \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen > 0 , then it is minimum, } \\ if\text{ }y^{\prime}\text{'\lparen t\rparen < 0, then it is maximum} \end{gathered}

SInce t = 4.13, gives y ′' (t) = -0.316 (< 0). This makes it the maximum value of t

The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value to the nearest whole number will be

year 4

b) y ′ (t) will achieve its highest value, when we substitute the value of t that gives into the initial function.

Initial function: y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4

Write the sum of the numbers as the product of their GCF and another sum.
8090 [49]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the GCF of 40 and 44:

40=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 5\\ \\44=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 11\\ \\GCF(40,44)=2\cdot 2=4

So,

40+44=4\cdot 10+4\cdot 11=4\cdot (10+11)

2. Find the GCF of 13 and 52:

13=\underline{13}\\ \\52=2\cdot 2\cdot \underline{13}\\ \\GCF(13,52)=13

So,

13+52=13\cdot 1+13\cdot 4=13\cdot (1+4)

3. Find the GCF of 15 and 81:

15=\underline{3}\cdot 5\\ \\81=\underline{3}\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\ \\GCF(15,81)=3

So,

15+81=3\cdot 5+3\cdot 27=3\cdot (5+27)

4. Find the GCF of 64 and 28:

64=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \\28=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 7\\ \\GCF(64,28)=2\cdot 2=4

So,

64+28=4\cdot 16+4\cdot 7=4\cdot (16+7)
