Things to understand for this type of question!

• Converting

• Percentage

————————————————————

We are trying to find out 12% or $264

Step 1. Use part/whole = part/whole

12% is part of $264 in total

12%/100% = ?/$264

Step 2. Multiply $264 by 12% and divided by 100

12%/100% = $31.68/$264

A cube with a volume of 216 cubic feet has all but the top and bottom faces painted. What is the total area of the two unpainted sides?

Answers

The volume of a cube is Side ^3

Find the cubic root of the volume to find the side length:

Side = cubicroot(216) = 6 feet.

The area of a face of a cube is s^2

Area of a face = 6^2 = 36 square feet.

Area of 2 faces = 36 x 2 = 72 square feet

Answer: 72 square feet

Answer:

72 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each side we have to cube root the volume

∛216 = 6

We only have to find the areas for two faces (the top and bottom)

6 x 6 = 36 = area for one face

36 x 2 = 72 = area for two faces

Need help! Please show your work too. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:

Part 1)

[tex]\displaystyle \left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)[/tex]

Or simplified:

[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Part 2)

The value of x for which the given expression will be the lowest is:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\approx 0.5774[/tex]

And the magnitude of ∠BAC is 60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a ΔABC with an area of one. We are also given that AB = 2, BC = a, and CA = b. CD is a perpendicular line from C to AB.

Please refer to the diagram below.

Part 1)

Since we know that the area of the triangle is one:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} (2)(CD) = 1[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle CD = 1[/tex]

From the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle x^2 + CD^2 = b^2[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]x^2 + 1 = b^2[/tex]

BD will simply be (2 - x). From the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2 + CD^2 = a^2[/tex]

Substitute:  

[tex]\displaystyle (2-x)^2+ 1 = a^2[/tex]

We have the expression:

[tex]\displaystyle a^2 + (2\sqrt{3} - 1) b^2[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle = \boxed{\left((2-x)^2 + 1)\right) + (2\sqrt{3} - 1 ) \left(x^2 + 1\right)}[/tex]

Part 2)

We can simplify the expression. Expand and distribute:

[tex]\displaystyle (4 - 4x + x^2 + 1)+ (2\sqrt{3} -1)x^2 + 2\sqrt{3} - 1[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle = ((2\sqrt{3} -1 )x^2 + x^2) + (-4x) + (4+1-1+2\sqrt{3})[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle = 2\sqrt{3}x^2 - 4x + 4 + 2\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Since this is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient, it will have a minimum value. Recall that the minimum value of a quadratic always occur at its vertex. The vertex is given by the formulas:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]

In this case, a = 2√3, b = -4, and c = (4 + 2√3).

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex is:

[tex]\displaystyle x = -\frac{(-4)}{2(2\sqrt{3})} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} =\boxed{ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}[/tex]

Hence, the value of x at which our expression will be the lowest is at √3/3.

To find ∠BAC, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{CD}{x}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \angle BAC = \frac{1}{\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} = \sqrt{3}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle\boxed{ m\angle BAC = \arctan\sqrt{3} = 60^\circ}[/tex]

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the coordinate is (0,1)(4,3)

x¹=0, y¹=1, x²=4 y²=3

M=> Gradient => (y²-y¹)/(x²-x¹)

M=(3-1)/(4-0) => 1/2

Therefore the slope-intercept equation

M=(y-y¹)/(x-x¹)

1/2 = (y-1)/(x-0)

x=2y-2

HURRY!!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!! NO SPAM!!!!!!!!!There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 6 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains 10 ft of oil and is drained at the rate of 1 ft/min. After how many minutes will the level of oil in the two tanks be the same?

Answers

Answer:

8 munutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let :

x is the final level for both tanks (in ft) and

t is the time (in minutes)

the equation :

x = 6 - 0.5 t (eq.1)

x = 10 - 1t (eq.2)

eq. 1 = eq. 2

=>

6-0.5t = 10-1t

1t - 0.5t = 10-6

0.5t = 4

t = 4/0.5 = 8

t = 8 minutes

Answer:               8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the level of oil in each tank.

Let t = the number of minutes.

Tank A: y = 6 − 0.5t

Tank B: y = 10 − 1t

Solve the system by using a table of values

When t = 8 minutes, the level in both tanks will be at 2 feet.

Linear Equation, y = mx+b

Exponential Equation, y = a(b)^x

PLEASE ANSWER IT I HAVE AN IMAGE ATTACHED IF NEEDED !!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Linear Equation.

One of the points is (0,15). This means 0,15 is the y intercept so b=15.

We can find the slope

[tex] \frac{5 - 15}{1 - 0 } = \frac{ - 10}{1} = - 10[/tex]

So our equation is

[tex]y = - 10x + 15[/tex]

Part B: Exponential Equation

We know that

[tex]15 = a \times b {}^{0} [/tex]

B to the zero power is 1 so

[tex]15 = a[/tex]

This means a =15. Now let find b.

[tex]5 = 15 \times b {}^{1} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{3} = b[/tex]

So the equation is

[tex]y = 15( \frac{1}{3} ) {}^{x} [/tex]

PLS HELP

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig. If you're solving for x, which you are, you have to consider how the given sides relate to that angle. The side with a length of 50 is opposite the angle x, while the side of length 36 is adjacent to angle x. The trig ratio that utilizes the sides opposite and adjacent is tangent; HOWEVER, we are looking for a missing angle. Finding missing angles on your calculator requires the 2nd button. To find the missing angle x, you are looking for the angle that has a tangent ratio of 50 over 36 (opposite over adjacent...Toa in SohCahToa). Hit the 2nd button on your calculator and then the tangent button (in degree mode, not radian mode) and you will see this on your screen:

[tex]tan^{-1}([/tex]

After the parenthesis, enter the fraction and then hit the enter button to get the angle measure in degrees:

[tex]tan^{-1}(\frac{50}{36})=54.2[/tex] degrees.

It's very important that you learn how to use your calculator to find the trig identities that give you the ratio in decimal form and how to find the missing angles. Missing angles always use the 2nd button along with whatever trig identity you are using.

Use the graph below to describe the linearization of the data. How would you expect the linearization to change if the data were to extend beyond age 20?

Answers

Answer:

It is expected that linearization beyond age 20 will be use a function whose slope is monotonously decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linearization of the data by first order polynomials may be reasonable for the set of values of age between ages from 5 to 15 years, but it is inadequate beyond, since the fourth point, located at [tex](x,y) = (20, 5.5)[/tex], in growing at a lower slope. It is expected that function will be monotonously decreasing and we need to use models alternative to first order polynomials as either second order polynomic models or exponential models.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel
to the line y = 3x + 9 and passes
through the point (2,1) Write the
equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 6 = - 5

y = 3x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

Step-by-step explanation:

14 is the length of the square. However it is also the diameter of the circle.

If you do diameter x π you will get the circumfrance. Which in this case is 14π. If your trying to find half of the circumfrance you would do 14π ÷ 2 which is 7π.

After finding 7π for one half a circle you do the same for the other and also get 7π

After finding the 2 half circles find the square which is 14 x 14 = 196

196 + 7π + 7π if you don't want bother pi's there it could also be seen as 196+ 14 π

Javier works at a print shop. He starts printing at 8:00 a.m. The number of printed brochures is a linear function of the number of minutes since Javier started printing. By 8:50 a.m. he had printed 240 brochures, and by 9:00 a.m. he had printed 288. Write an equation in the form y = mx + b that represents the number of brochures, y, that were printed after x minutes.

Answers

Answer:

y = 4.8(x) + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, Javier managed to print 240 brochures in 50minutes from 8:00 to 8:50. If we divide these values we see that he printed 4.8 brochures per minute. The same result is given for the 10 minutes from 8:50 to 9:00 where he printed 48 brochures. Therefore, we can get the following linear formula from these values.

y = 4.8(x) + 0

In this case, b would equal 0 because Javier is starting from 0 brochures made when he gets to work at 8:00 a.m
