$\bf X=X\qquad thus\qquad \implies \cfrac{24000}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{b}\implies \cfrac{24000}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{\boxed{3+a}} \\\\\\ (3+a)24000=36000a\implies \cfrac{3+a}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{24000}\implies \cfrac{3-a}{a}=\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ 6-2a=3a\implies 6=5a\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=a\implies 1\frac{1}{5}=a\implies \blacktriangleright 1.2 = x\blacktriangleleft$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=3+a}\implies b=3+\cfrac{6}{5}\implies b=\cfrac{21}{5}\implies b=4\frac{1}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright b=4.2 \blacktriangleleft$

The graph below shows the number of open blossoms in a nursery and the number of hours after dawn. answer all that apply

uysha [10]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$y=20x+3$

This equation represent the number of open blossoms in a nursery after x hours.

At initial the number hours is 0.

Substitute x=0 in the given equation.

$y=20(0)+3$

$y=0+3$

$y=3$

The initial value is 3, it means there were three blossoms open at dawn. Option B is correct.

A pharmaticeutical company is making a new medicine capsule shaped like a cylinder with a half sphere at each end. The

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

339.12 cubic millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The volume of the figure is equal to the volume of the two hemispheres (one sphere) plus the volume of the cylinder

so

step 1

Find the volume of the cylinder

The volume is given by

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the base of cylinder

h is the height of cylinder

we have

$B=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$h=8\ mm$

$r=6/2=3\ mm$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$B=(3.14)(3)^{2}$

$B=28.26\ mm^2$

substitute

$V=(28.26)(8)=226.08\ mm^3$

step 2

Find the volume of the sphere

The volume is given by

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

we have

$r=6/2=3\ mm$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

$V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(3)^{3}=113.04\ mm^3$

step 3

Adds the volumes

$226.08+113.04=339.12\ mm^3$

Find the measure of the angle with the red dot (NOT X.)<br> Picture Included. Thank you!

Afina-wow [57]

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't see picture very well but as I see first angle is

-4x+5 and second is -13x+39 ( if it isn't, correct me)

sum of this angles is 180° because they are inner angles

(-4x+5) + (-13x+39) = 180

-4x+5 -13x+39=180

-17x+44=180

-17x = 180-44

-17x= 136

x= -8

angle -4x+5 will be:

-4*-8 + 5= 32+5= 37°
