PLEASE HELP I WILL REWARD BRAINLY. PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INCLUDE INSIGHTFUL EXPLAINATION AND THOUGHT PROCESS: A woman and her two children are playing on a seesaw. This seesaw has seats that can move to different distances from the fulcrum. Riders can also add seats to the seesaw. The woman weighs 145lb, her son weighs 95lb, her daughter weighs 70lb, each seat weighs 5 pounds. Question: The woman is on the left side of the seesaw, 60 inches from the fulcrum. The daughter and son both get on the right side. The son sits 60 inches from the fulcrum. Where should the daughter sit to balance the seesaw. Please explain your process and give correct answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The woman weight and the seat will be: 145lb + 5lb = 150lb,

her son weight and the seat will be: 95lb + 5lb = 100lb

her daughter weight and the seat will be: 70lb + 5lb = 75lb

Given that the woman is on the left side of the seesaw, 60 inches from the fulcrum. The moment of the woman will be 150 × 60 = 9000

The daughter and son both get on the right side.

If the son sits 60 inches from the fulcrum, his moment will be:

100 × 60 = 6000

The sum of the moment of the son and daughter must be equal to the moment of their mother.

Let the position of the daughter = X

The moment of the daughter will be:

75 × X = 75X

Equate the moment of the mother to the sum of the moment of her children

9000 = 6000 + 75X

Collect the like terms

75X = 9000 - 6000

75X = 3000

X = 3000/75

X = 40

The position the daughter should sit to balance the seesaw is 40 inches away from seasaw to the right.

Answer: 35 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the base of the pyramid:

Base area = 1/2x base length x height

Base area = 1/2 x 6 x 5 = 15 m2

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x base area x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1/3 x 15 x 7 = 35 m3

A company uses two vans to transport
workers from a free parking lot to the
workplace between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.
One van has 9 more seats than the other.
The smaller van makes two trips every
morning while the larger one makes only
one trip. The two vans can transport 69
people, maximum. Let x be the seats in the small van and y the
seats in the large van. How many seats does the
larger van have?

Answers

Answer:

x=20 seats, y=29 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

y-x=9    y=9+x

2x+y=69  solve by substitution

2x+9+x=69

3x=69-9   3x=60

x=60/3=20 (small van)

y=9+x

y=29 (large van)

Answer : 20 in small , 29 in big as big van has 9 small van

Answers

Answer:

541.4 m²

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1: find m < V

V = 180 - (50+63) (sum of the angles in ∆)

V = 67

Step 2: find side length of XW using the law of sines

[tex] \frac{XW}{sin(V)} = \frac{XV}{sin(W)} [/tex]

Where,

V = 67°

W = 63°

XV = 37 m

XW

[tex] \frac{XW}{sin(67)} = \frac{37}{sin(63)} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by sin(67) to solve for XW

[tex] \frac{XW}{sin(67)}*sin(67) = \frac{37}{sin(63)}*sin(67) [/tex]

[tex] XW = \frac{37*sin(67)}{sin(63)} [/tex]

[tex] XW = 38.2 m [/tex] (to nearest tenth)

Step 3: find the area using the formula, ½*XW*XV*sin(X)

area = ½*38.2*37*sin(50)

Area = 541.4 m² (rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

68.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score is a measure used in statistic to determine the number of standard deviations by which the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive then the raw score is above the mean and if it is negative then the raw score id below the mean. The z score is calculated using:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\ where\ \mu \ is \ the\ mean, \sigma\ is\ the\ standard\ deviation\ and\ x \ is\ the\ raw\ score[/tex]

From the normal distribution table, Area between z equal -1 and z equal 1  = P(-1 < z < 1) = P(z < 1) - P(z < -1) = 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%

About 68.26% of the area is between z = -1 and z = 1 (or within 1 standard deviation of the mean).

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

It is given that sum of x and y is twice x. Then the value of y will be calculated as below:-

x + y = 2x

y = 2x - x

y = x

Therefore, the sum of x and y is twice x. Then the value of y will be equal to x.

what are the x intercepts of the graph of the function below y=x^2-2x-15

Answers

Answer:

(5, 0) and (-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-intercepts, let's set y = 0.

0 = x² - 2x - 15

0 = (x - 5)(x + 3) -- To factor x² - 2x - 15, we need to find 2 numbers with a sum of -2 and product of -15; these numbers are -5 and 3.

x - 5 = 0 or x + 3 = 0 -- Use ZPP (Zero Product Property)

x = 5, x = -3

Answer:

x = -3 and x = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 2x - 15

y = (x - 5)(x + 3)

The x-intercepts occur when y = 0. In this case, it's when either (x - 5) = 0, or (x + 3) = 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Hope this helps!
