Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51, If 'a' is a number, the reciprocal of such number is 1/a. According to the question, the reciprocal of 6.43, 3.56 and 8.51 are  1/6.43 and 1/3.56 and 1/8.51 respectively.

1/6.43 = 0.1555

2/3.56 = 2 * 1/3.56

= 2 * 0.2809

= 0.5618

1/8.51 = 0.1175

Taking the sum of the reciprocals;

1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51 = 0.1555 + 0.5618 + 0.1175

1/6.43 +2/3.56 +1/8.51 = 0.8348

Hence, the sum of 1/6.43, 2/3.56 and 1/8.51 is 0.8348

Answer: If 36/7 is one of the options, choose that one.

If the question involves an exponent, you should use the "caret" which is ^ found above the 6 on a keyboard. [Shift + 6]. That helps avoid confusion.

Step-by-step explanation: 7 is equal to 35/5 because 7×5=35

Add 1/5 and you end up with 36/5. A Common rational number.

7^(1/5) = the 5th root of 7. A very small irrational number!

Answer:

a) -900 L/min

b) 63000 L

c)  -900t +63000

 d) 7200 L

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You are given two points on the curve of volume vs. time:

(t, V) = (20, 45000) and (70, 0)

The rate of change of volume

= ΔV/Δt = (0 -45000)/(70 -20) = -45000/50 = -900 liters per minute

b) In the first 20 minutes, the change in volume was

(20 min)(-900 L/min) = -18000 L

So, the initial volume was

initial volume - 18000 = 45000

initial volume = 63,000 liters

c) Since we have the slope and the intercept, we can write the equation in slope-intercept form as

 V= -900t +63000.

d) now putting the number in the equation and do the arithmetic.

When t=62, the amount remaining is

= -900(62) +63000 = -55800 +63000 = 7200

Thus, 7200 L remain after 62 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot 10^2 \cdot 16) \\\\V = \frac{1}{3} (1600 \pi ) \\\\V = 1675.52 \: m^3[/tex]

The maximum amount of sand that can be stored in this structure is 1675.52 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a conical-shaped structure is given by

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h)[/tex]

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the structure.

We are given that

radius = 10m

height = 16m

Substituting the above values into the formula, we get

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot 10^2 \cdot 16) \\\\V = \frac{1}{3} (1600 \pi ) \\\\V = 1675.52 \: m^3[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum amount of sand th can be stored in this structure is 1675.52 m³.

Answer:

37.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the distance is shown below:

In triangle ADE

[tex]AD^2 = AE^2 + DE^2 \\\\ AD^2 = 5^2 + 3^2 \\\\ AD^2 = 34[/tex]

AD = 5.8

Now the distance walked after completing his edging is

Distance = AD + AB + BC + CD

= 5.8 + 12 + 5 + 15

= 37.8 m

We simply added these four sides so that the correct distance could arrive

Hence, the distance walked after completing his edging is 37.7

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula of a line passing through [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and slope 'm' is,

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Further solving this equation,

[tex]y-y_1=mx-mx_1[/tex] [By distributive property]

[tex]y-y_1+mx_1=(mx-mx_1)+mx_1[/tex] [By adding [tex]mx_1[/tex] on both the sides]

[tex]y-y_1+mx_1=mx[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-y_1-mx_1}{m}=\frac{mx}{m}[/tex] [Divide the equation by m]

[tex]\frac{y-y_1}{m}-x_1=x[/tex]

Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.

By the factor theorem,

[tex]3x^2+5x+7=3(x-u)(x-v)\implies\begin{cases}uv=\frac73\\u+v=-\frac53\end{cases}[/tex]

Now,

[tex](u+v)^2=u^2+2uv+v^2=\left(-\dfrac53\right)^2=\dfrac{25}9[/tex]

[tex]\implies u^2+v^2=\dfrac{25}9-\dfrac{14}3=-\dfrac{17}9[/tex]

So we have

[tex]\dfrac uv+\dfrac vu=\dfrac{u^2+v^2}{uv}=\dfrac{-\frac{17}9}{\frac73}=\boxed{-\dfrac{17}{21}}[/tex]

The value of [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{-17}{21}[/tex].

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is[tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex], where a and b are the coefficients, x is the variable, and c is the constant term.

If [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c = 0[/tex] be the quadratic equation then

Sum of the roots = [tex]\frac{-b}{a}[/tex]

And,

Product of the roots = [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex]

According to the given question.

We have a quadratic equation [tex]3x^{2} +5x+7=0..(i)[/tex]

On comparing the above quadratic equation with standard equation or general equation [tex]ax^{2} +bx+c = 0[/tex].

We get

[tex]a = 3\\b = 5\\and\\c = 7[/tex]

Also, u and v are the solutions of the quadratic equation.

⇒ u and v are the roots of the given quadratic equation.

Since, we know that the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation is [tex]-\frac{b}{a}[/tex].

And product of the roots of the quadratic equation is [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex].

Therefore,

[tex]u +v = \frac{-5}{3}[/tex] ...(ii) (sum of the roots)

[tex]uv=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]   ....(iii)       (product of the roots)

Now,

[tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} = \frac{u^{2} +v^{2} }{uv} = \frac{(u+v)^{2}-2uv }{uv}[/tex]                    ([tex](a+b)^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} +2ab[/tex])

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} =\frac{(\frac{-5}{3} )^{2}-2(\frac{7}{3} ) }{\frac{7}{3} }[/tex]         (from (i) and (ii))

⇒ [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} =\frac{\frac{25}{9}-\frac{14}{3} }{\frac{7}{3} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} = \frac{\frac{25-42}{9} }{\frac{7}{3} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} = \frac{\frac{-17}{9} }{\frac{7}{3} }[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u} =\frac{-17}{21}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\frac{u}{v} +\frac{v}{u}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{-17}{21}[/tex].

4 ≤ x means there will be a solid dot at x=4, and values of x greater than 4 will be shaded. Graph A shows this.

Answer: B & A

Answer:

AC = EF

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC = DEF

You would need to know that AC = EF

In the first place, using deduction we know that we dont need another angle. We also know that BC does not equal DF by looking at the angles on the triangles.

The solution is : ∠C ≅ ∠F is congruent to show that ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF, else would need to be congruent to show that AABC= ADEF by the AAS theorem.

The angle-angle-side theorem, or AAS, tells us that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

here, we have,

to find congruency in a triangle:

ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

Therefore,

AAS congruence rule or theorem states that if two angles of a triangle with a non-included side are equal to the corresponding angles and non-included side of the other triangle, they are considered to be congruent.

Therefore,

∠C ≅ ∠F

Hence, The solution is : ∠C ≅ ∠F is congruent to show that ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF, else would need to be congruent to show that AABC= ADEF by the AAS theorem.

Answer:

11 /13 = t

Step-by-step explanation:

5/13  = t -6/13

Add 6/13 to each side

5/13 + 6/13  = t -6/13+ 6/13

11 /13 = t

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{11}{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{5}{13} = t -\frac{6}{13}[/tex]

Add [tex]\frac{6}{13}[/tex] to both sides.

[tex]\frac{5}{13} + \frac{6}{13} = t -\frac{6}{13} + \frac{6}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{13} =t[/tex]

Answer:

x = 6 and x = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(x - 2) + 8 = x

sqrt(x - 2) = x - 8

(sqrt(x - 2))^2 = (x - 8)^2

x - 2 = x^2 - 16x + 64

x^2 - 16x + 64 = x - 2

x^2 - 17x + 66 = 0

We can use the discriminant to find whether there are solutions to the equation.

b^2 - 4ac; where a = 1, b = -17, and c = 66.

(-17)^2 - 4 * 1 * 66

= 289 - 264

= 25

Since the discriminant is positive, we know there are two valid solutions to the equation.

x^2 - 17x + 66 = 0

(x - 6)(x - 11) = 0

The solutions are when x - 6 = 0 and x - 11 = 0.

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

x - 11 = 0

x = 11

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=11 solution

x=6 extraneous

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt( x-2) + 8 = x

Subtract x from each side

sqrt(x-2) = x-8

Square each side

(sqrt(x-2))^2 = (x-8) ^2

x-2 = x^2 -8x-8x+64

x-2  = x^2 -16x+64

Subtract ( x-2) from each side

0 = x^2 -17x +66

Factor

0 = (x-6) ( x-11)

Using the zero product property

x=6  x=11

Checking the solutions

x=6

sqrt( 6-2) + 8 = 6

sqrt(4) +8 = 6

2 +8 = 6

False  not a solution

x=11

sqrt( 11-2) + 8 = 11

sqrt(9) +8 =11

3 +8 = 11
