60 CHALLENGE The Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge connects South Padre Island, Texas, to
Port Isabel on the mainland. Suppose one crew began building from South Padre Island,
and another crew began building from Port Isabel. The two crews met 6256.5 feet from the
South Padre Island side of the bridge approximately 2.5 years after construction began.
a. Suppose the South Padre Island crew built an average of 208.5 feet per month.
Together the two crews built 12,513 feet of bridge. Determine the average number of
feet built per month by the Port Isabel crew.
307
b. About how many miles of bridge did each crew build?
c. Is this answer reasonable? Explain.
2,513

Answers

Answer 1

With some give information, we need to solve some algebraic problems that involve a change of units, lets see step by step how we do that:

A) First, we know that:

The bridge was constructed in 2.5 years

Knowing that 1 year =  12 months, we can rewrite:

2.5 years = (2.5)*(12 montsh) = 28 months

The two crews built, together, 12,513 ft of the bridge.

Now, we know that the South Padre Island crew built an average of 208.5 per month.

Then in the 28 months for the whole construction, they built 28 times that amount:

D = (28 months)*(208.5 per month)  = 5,838 ft

Then the rest was constructed by the Port Isabel Crew.

They constructed 12,513 ft -  5,838 ft = 6,675ft

So that crew constructed 6,675 ft in 28 months, then the average number of feet built per month (the quotient between the total amount built and the number of months in which that was built) is:

6,675 ft/28 months = 238.39 ft per month.

b)

South Padre Island crew constructed  5,838 ft

Port Isabel Crew constructed 6,675ft

Now we want to transform these to miles.

Remember that;

1 mille = 5280 ft.

Then to transform from ft to miles, we just need to divide our measures by 5280 ft

Then:

South Padre Island crew constructed  5,838 ft = (5,838ft/5280ft) mi = 1.11 mi

Port Isabel Crew constructed 6,675ft = (6,675ft/5280ft) mi = 1.26 mi

c) Is this answer reasonable?

Mathematically, yes, both crews constructed about the same in about the same time, with a small difference that may be related to the sizes of each crew or something like that.

We could conclude that this would not be reasonable if the monthly rates were dramatically different.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying exponents:

- Product of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and the bases are being multiplied to each other, the exponents are added together.

- Different bases Same Exponents: When the bases of the exponents are different, but the exponents are the same, the bases multiply together (within a parenthesis) with the exponent on the parenthesis.

- Quotient of Powers: When the base of the exponents are the same, and they are being divided by each other, the exponents will subtract from each other.

- Power of a Power: When a base has an exponent, and that entire term has and exponent, the exponents multiply together.

- Power of a Product: The opposite of Different bases Same Exponents. Distribute the exponent onto the different bases.

- Power of a Quotient: The opposite of Quotient of Powers. Distribute the exponent to the dividing bases.

- Zero Power: Any number raised to the 0 power equals 1.

- Negative Exponent: Any number raised by a negative number goes to the denominator of a fraction (if not already in the denominator), and vise versa (goes to the numerator if not already in the numerator).  

- Power of One: Any number raised to the power of 1 is the same number.

Answers

Answer:

the point is (1.73, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a vector on an xy plot, the magnitude is the hypotinuse of the triangle formed, and the direction is the angle with x axis. So we have a right angle triangle that must be a 30-60-90 (sum = 180).

Then from the lower angle

sin(60) = opposite/hypotinuse = y/(2*3**(1/2))

0.866 = y/(2*1.732)

0.866 = y/3.464

0.866 * 3.464 = y

3 = y

Then from the top angle

sin(30) = opposite/hypotinuse = x/(2*3**(1/2))

sin(30) = x/(2*3**(1/2))

0.5 = x/(2*3**(1/2))

0.5 = x/3.464

0.5 * 3.464 = x

1.73 = x

Answer: First Choice. 5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to know the idea of the Pythagorean theorem.

Since a building is straight, the base angle is a right angle, thus it would be a right triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

**NOTE** Please refer to the attachment below for the figure. (I drew it, so if it was not clear and understandable for you, please tell me.)

Solve:

Given information

a = 12 ft

c = 13 ft

b = unknow base length

Given formula for Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Substitute values into the formula

12² + b² = 13²

Simplify exponents

144 + b² = 169

Subtract 144 on both sides

144 + b² - 144= 169 - 144

b² = 25

Square root both sides

form, slope-intercept form and standard form.
Point-Slope Form:
Slope-Intercept Form:
Standard Form:

Help!!

Answers

Answer:

Point-slope form:

[tex]y-4=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]y-8=m(x-8)[/tex]

Slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+\displaystyle\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Standard form:

[tex]-x+3y=16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

1) Point-slope form

Point-slope form: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point on the line and m is the slope

First, determine the slope:

[tex]m=\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the points (-4,4) and (8,8):

[tex]m=\displaystyle\frac{8-4}{8-(-4)}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{8-4}{8+4}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{4}{12}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. Plug this into  [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]:

[tex]y-y_1=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x-x_1)[/tex]

Now, for [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex], we can either plug in (-4,4) or (8,8):

[tex]y-4=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x-(-4))\\\\y-4=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x+4)[/tex]

or

[tex]y-8=m(x-8)[/tex]

2) Slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Plug in the slope

[tex]y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]

Now, to determine the y-intercept, plug in one of the points (-4,4) or (8,8) and solve for b:

[tex]8=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(8)+b\\\\8=\displaystyle\frac{8}{3}+b\\\\8-\displaystyle\frac{8}{3}=b\\\\b=\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is [tex]\displaystyle\frac{16}{3}[/tex]. Plug this back into [tex]y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+\displaystyle\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

3) Standard form

Standard form:

[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex] where A, B, and C are numbers which are typically integers

[tex]y=\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+\displaystyle\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Organize this into standard form:

[tex]-\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x+y=\displaystyle\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 3 so A, B, and C are integers:

[tex]-x+3y=16[/tex]
