A carpenter wishes to make a rain gutter with a rectangular cross-section by bending up a flat piece of metal that is 18 feet long and 44 inches wide. The top of the gutter is open. What values of x, length of metal bent up, will give a cross-sectional area of at most 50 square inches? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 20.996 , 1.002 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the sides are bent at right angles

Dimensions of the given metal sheet are

Length = 18feet = 216 inches

Width = 44 inches

When we will bend the width part of the given metal sheet

let the bent length be x

so the cross sectional dimensions will be

width = 44-2x

length = x

Area  = x(44-2x)

The given are should be at most 50 square inches

so the equation becomes

x(44-2x)[tex]\leq 50[/tex]  

-2x^2 + 44x [tex]\leq 50[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 -44x +50\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 -22x +25\geq 0[/tex]  (dividing the equation by 2)

upon solving the above quadratic equation we get

x = 20.996 , 1.002

both the solutions are possible.

Therefore we have the are using the values of x as  20.996 and  1.002 are

42.159968 and 42.079992 which is less than 50 square inches.

write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (6,-4)(6,−4)left parenthesis, 6, comma, minus, 4, right parenthesis and a directrix at y

Answers

The equation of the parabola is (x - 6)² = 6(y + 5.5).

Given that, a focus at (6,-4) and a directrix at y= -7.

We need to find the equation for a parabola.

What are focus and directrix?

Parabolas are commonly known as the graphs of quadratic functions. They can also be viewed as the set of all points whose distance from a certain point (the focus) is equal to their distance from a certain line (the directrix).

The standard form of the equation of the parabola is  (x - h)² = 4p(y - k), where

The vertex of the parabola is (h , k)

The focus is (h, k + p)

The directrix is at y = k - p  

∵ The focus of the parabola is at (6, -4)

The coordinates of the focus are (h, k + p)

∴ h = 6

∴ k + p = -4 ⇒ (1)

∵ The directrix of the parabola is at y = -7

The directrix is at y = k - p

∴ k - p = -7 ⇒ (2)

Solve the system of equations to find k and p

Add equations (1) and (2) to eliminate p

∴ 2k = -11

Divide both sides

∴ k = -5.5

Substitute the value of k in equation (1) to find p

∵ -5.5 + p = -4

Add 5.5. to both sides

∴ p = 1.5

∵ The form of the equation is (x - h)² = 4p(y - k)

Substitute the values of h, k, and p in the form

∴ (x - 6)² = 4(1.5)(y - -5.5)

∴ (x - 6)² = 6(y + 5.5)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is (x - 6)² = 6(y + 5.5).

- The circles are identical. Find the circumference of each circle. Round your
answer to the nearest tenth.
4x
6x - 6

Answers

Answer:

Circumference = 75.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the circles are identical, that means that the radii must be equal.

4x=3x+3

x=3

That means that radius = 12

The formula for the circumference = 2pi × radius

2pi × 12 = 24pi ≈ 75.4

Answer:

75.4 (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a circle is the distance from one side of the circle to the other through the center. The diameter is the widest part of the circle.

The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to the circumference.  The radius is half the diameter of a circle.

We have been given the radius of the circle on the left:  r = 4x.

Therefore, as the diameter is twice the radius, the diameter of the circle on the left is:  d = 2(4x) = 8x

We have been given the diameter of the circle on the right:  d = 6x + 6

Equate the two diameters and solve for x:

⇒ 8x = 6x + 6

⇒ 8x - 6x = 6x + 6 - 6x

⇒ 2x = 6

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 6 ÷ 2

⇒ x = 3

Substitute the found value of x into one of the diameter expressions to find the diameter of both circles:

⇒ d = 8x

⇒ d = 8(3)

⇒ d = 24

Circumference of a circle

C = πd

(where d is the diameter)

Substitute the found diameter into the circumference formula:

⇒ C = πd

⇒ C = 24π

⇒ C = 75.39822...

⇒ C = 75.4 (nearest tenth)

Therefore, the circumference of each circle is 75.4 units (nearest tenth).

Answer:

x = 7, x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 70 = 17x ( subtract 17x from both sides )

x² - 17x + 70 = 0 ← in standard form

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 70) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 17)

the factors are - 10 and - 7 , since

- 10 × - 7 = + 70 and - 10 - 7 = - 17 , then

(x - 10)(x - 7) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x - 10 = 0 ⇒ x = 10

where,

c = cards

5c+15=65

Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.

5c+15−15=65−15

In a food court there are people eating hamburgers, burritos & pizza. P(h) = 0. 38 and P(b) = 0. 31. If there are 35 people eating pizza, what is the total number of people in the food court?


Answer should be rounded to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER

Answers

The total number of people in the food court eating pizza, burritos, and hamburgers is 113 (Approximate) or (Whole number)

People eating hamburger P(h) =0.38

People eating burritos P(b) = 0.31

Number of people eating pizza = 35

    Let's suppose the total number of people is 1

So,

    By adding the total number of people eating hamburgers and burritos                                          

                                                           = 0.38+0.31

                                                            = 0.69

    The ratio of the total number of people eating pizza = 1.00 - 0.69

                                                                                            = 0.31

   So total number of people eating pizza = 0.31 = 35

   By solving :

              1 = 35 / 0.31

                = (35*100)/31

                = 3500/31

                 = 112.9 (we have to write it down in the nearest whole number)

Here we writing the approximate value of 112.9 = 113 (Approximate)

Hence, the total number of people in the food court in the nearest whole number is 113
