c(x-2)-5=b(x-3), solve for x

Answers

Answer:

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).

Step-by-step explanation:

c(x - 2) - 5 = b(x - 3)

cx - 2c - 5 = bx - 3b          Bring the terms in x to left side:-

cx - bx  - 2c - 5 = -3b        Bring  other terms to right side:-

cx - bx = 2c  - 3b  + 5

x(c - b) =  2c  - 3b  + 5         Divide both sides by c - b:-

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).

A movie with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 is shown as a letterboxed image on a newer 50-inch 16:9 television. Calculate the height of the image, the height of each barely visible black bar at the top and bottom of the screen, and the percent of the screen’s area that is occupied by the image. Use a variety of representations to justify your response.

Answers

The aspect ratio of a Television is the ratio of the width to the height of the television.

The height of image on the 50-inch television is 24.48 inchesThe height of each black bar is 23.52 inchesThe percentage of the screen area occupied is 96.08%

The size of a TV is calculated using Pythagoras theorem. Assume the length ratio of the new 50-inch 16:9 TV is x.

The ratio is represented as:

[tex]Width : Height = 16 : 9[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

[tex](16x)^2 + (9x)^2 = 50^2[/tex]

[tex]256x^2 + 81x^2 = 2500[/tex]

[tex]337x^2 = 2500[/tex]

Divide both sides by 337

[tex]x^2 = 7.42[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]x = \sqrt{7.42[/tex]

[tex]x = 2.72[/tex]

So, the width of the image is:

[tex]Width = 16x[/tex]

[tex]Width = 16 \times 2.72[/tex]

[tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

The height of the image is then calculated as:

[tex]Height = 9x[/tex]

[tex]Height = 9 \times 2.72[/tex]

[tex]Height = 24.48[/tex]

The height of the image is 24.48 inches

The height of each black bar is calculated as follows:

[tex]Width : Height = 1.85 : 1[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{Height}{Width}= \frac{1}{1.85}[/tex]

Make Height the subject

[tex]Height = \frac{1}{1.85}\times Width[/tex]

Substitute [tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

[tex]Height = \frac{1}{1.85}\times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]Height = 23.52[/tex]

The height of each black bar is 23.52 inches

Lastly, the percentage of the screen’s area that is occupied by the image

First, we calculate the area of the bars

[tex]A_1 = Height \times Width[/tex]

Where:

[tex]Height = 23.52[/tex] and [tex]Width = 43.52[/tex]

So:

[tex]A_1 = 23.52 \times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]A_1 = 1023.59[/tex]

Next, calculate the area of the 50-inch TV

[tex]A_2 = Height \times Width[/tex]

Where

[tex]Width = 43.52[/tex] and [tex]Height = 24.48[/tex]

So:

[tex]A_2 = 24.48 \times 43.52[/tex]

[tex]A_2 = 1065.37[/tex]

So, the percentage occupied on the screen area is:

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{A_1}{A_2} \times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{1023.59}{1065.37} \times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = \frac{102359}{1065.37} \%[/tex]

[tex]\% Screen = 96.08 \%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage of the screen area occupied is 96.08%

Answers

Answer: Yes, he has enough ribbon.

==================================================

Explanation:

The volume is 296 cm^3 and the height of the box is 8 cm

The area of the top is 296/8 = 37 cm^2. I'm using the idea that

volume of box = (area of base)*(height)

--------------------

The area of the top is 37 cm^2. Apply the square root to get sqrt(37) = 6.08276 cm which is the approximate length of each side along the top. This only works if the top is a square.

Multiply this by 4 to get 4*6.08276 = 24.33104

The perimeter along the top is roughly 24.33 cm

--------------------

The next task we have to do is convert from inches to centimeters

Multiply by 2.54 to do this.

24 & 1/4 inches = 24 + 1/4 = 24 + 0.25 = 24.25 inches

24.25 * 2.54 = 61.595 cm

The measurement 24 & 1/4 inches converts to about 61.595 cm

This means Adam has about 61.595 cm of ribbon

--------------------

To recap, we found these two facts:

The perimeter of the top is about 24.33 cmAdam has roughly 61.595 cm of ribbon

Since the amount he has (61.595) exceeds the perimeter (24.33), this means he does have enough ribbon.

In fact, he has enough ribbon to do 2 boxes because 61.595/24.33 = 2.53 approximately and that rounds down to 2. We don't round to 3 even though we're closer to it.

It takes 1 gallon of paint to paint a 300 square foot room. How many square feet of the room can be painted with 3/4 gallon of paint?

Answers

Answer: 225 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 gallon of paint can paint a 300 square foot room to solve how much 3/4th of a gallon can paint lets divide the amount of paint we have and the amount of area 1 gallon paint can cover.

1/4 = 1/4th of a gallon of paint      300/4 = 75 square feet

now we know that 1/4th of a gallon of paint can cover 75 square feet lets multiply everything by 3 so that we can figure out how much 3/4th can cover.

1/4*3 = 3/4th of a gallon             75*3 = 225 square feet

Now we know that 3/4th of a gallon of paint can cover a 225 square feet room.

The equation y+6=1/3(x-9) is written in point-slope form. What is the equation written in slope-intercept form?

y = 1/8 x-3
y= 1/3x+9
y=1/3x-9
y=1/3x+3

Answers

The steps are to first distribute the 1/3 into (x-9) and then to move the +6 on the left over to the right:

First distribute:
y + 6 = 1/3(x-9) becomes y + 6 = 1/3x-3

Now subtract 6 from both sides:
y = 1/3 x - 3 - 6

y = 1/3 x - 9

Find the rational approximation of √15.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1921/496

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many rational approximations to √15, some better than others.

A linear approximation is often used:

  √15 ≈ 3 +(15-3^2)/(4^2-3^2) = 3 6/7 = 27/7

That can be refined by one iteration of the Babylonian method of determining the root:

  √15 ≈ (27/7 +15/(27/7))/2 = (3 6/7 +3 8/9)/2 = 3 55/63 = 244/63

This value is equivalent to the root rounded to 4 decimal places.

__

Another iteration of the Babylonian method gives the approximation ...

  √15 ≈ 119071/30744, equivalent to the root rounded to 9 decimal places.

__

The approximation 1921/496 is the best approximation that has a denominator under 1000.

_____

Additional comment

Successive rational convergents of the continued fraction approximation of √15 can be found as ...

  a'/b' = (3a +15b)/(a +3b)

This method adds approximately one more good decimal place per iteration.

__

Successive rational approximations can be found using the Babylonian method (Newton's method iteration) as ...

  a'/b' = (a² +15b²)/(2ab)

This method has "quadratic" convergence. It approximately doubles the number of good decimal places with each iteration.

You can use 3/1, 4/1, or 27/7 to begin either of these iterations.

Consider functions fand g.

Evaluate the function composition.
(fog)(-64) =

Answers

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

plz watch all steps in picture

The value of the composition function (f·g)(-64) is 1750329.

What is the function?

Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input x.

The given functions are f(x)=(x+1)³ and g(x)=∛x+1.

We need to find (f·g)(-64).

We know that, (f·g)(x)=f(x)×g(x)

Here, f(-64)=(-64+1)³

= -63³

= -250047

g(x)=∛(-64)+1

= -8+1

= -7

Now, (f·g)(-64)=f(-64)×g(-64)

= -250047×(-7)

= 1750329

Therefore, the value of (f·g)(-64) is 1750329.

a gift house allowed 20% discount on the marked price of a doll, 13% VAT was levied on it. If the doll was sold as Rs 1808. What was its marked price?​

Answers

Answer:

Profit = 20% = 360 Rs

So, Cost Price = 360 / 20 * 100 = 1800 Rs

And Sales Price = 1800 + 360 = 2160 Rs

Discount = 25% of marked price

So Sales Price = (100 - 25) % = 75 % of mark price.

=> 2160 = 75% of marked price.

=> marked price = 2160/75 * 100 = 2880 rs
