The hypotenuse will always be the longest side of the triangle. Option C is correct: AB > DC.

AB is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC. Therefore, it is greater than leg AC. AC is the hypotenuse of triangle ACD. If AC is less than AB, then DC must also be less than AB because DC is less than AC.

What is the value of x in the equation 5(3x + 4) = 23?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3x + 4) = 23

Distribute

15x+20 = 23

Subtract 20 from each side

15x+20-20 = 23-20

15x = 3

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 3/15

x = 1/5

Answer:

[tex]x = 0.2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

[tex]5(3x + 4) = 23[/tex]

[tex](5 * 3x) + (5 * 4) = 23[/tex]

[tex](15x) + 20 = 23[/tex]

Step 2:  Subtract 20 from both sides

[tex](15x) + 20 - 20 = 23 - 20[/tex]

[tex]15x = 3[/tex]

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 15

[tex]\frac{15x}{15} = \frac{3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 24 mi/h and the other travels west at 18 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing two hours later

Answers

Answer:

The rate at which the distance between the two cars is increasing is 30 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first car, v₁ = 24 mi/h

speed of the second car, v₂ = 18 mi/h

Two hours later, the position of the cars is calculated as;

position of the first car, d₁ = 24 mi/h  x 2 h  = 48 mi

position of the second car, d₂ = 18 mi/h  x 2 h = 36 mi

The displacement of the two car is calculated as;

displacement, d² = 48² + 36²

                        d² = 3600

                        d = √3600

                        d = 60 mi

The rate at which this displacement is changing = (60 mi) / (2h)

                                                                                 = 30 mi/h

Trucks in a delivery fleet travel a mean of 120 miles per day with a standard deviation of 23 miles per day. The mileage per day is distributed normally. Find the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean of the truck's speed, (m) = 120 miles per day

standard deviation, d = 23 miles per day

If the mileage per day is normally distributed, we use the following conceptual method to determine the probability of less than 159 miles per day;

1 standard deviation above the mean = m + d, = 120 + 23 = 143

2 standard deviation above the mean = m + 2d, = 120 + 46 = 166

159 is below 2 standard deviation above the mean but greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean.

For normal districution, 1 standard deviation above the mean = 84 percentile

Also, 2 standard deviation above the mean = 98 percentile

143 --------> 84%

159 ---------> x

166 --------- 98%

[tex]\frac{159-143}{166-143} = \frac{x-84}{98-84} \\\\\frac{16}{23} = \frac{x-84}{14} \\\\23(x-84) = 224\\\\x-84 = 9.7391\\\\x = 93.7391\ \%[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a truck drives less than 159 miles in a day = 0.9374

Use the integral test to determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. [infinity] n = 2 n2 n3 + 1 Evaluate the following integral. [infinity] 2 x2 x3 + 1 dx

Answers

I think the given series is

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{n^2}{n^3+1}[/tex]

You can use the integral test because the summand is clearly positive and decreasing. Then

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac{n^2}{n^3+1} > \int_2^\infty\frac{x^2}{x^3+1}\,\mathrm dx[/tex]

Substitute u = x ³ + 1 and du = 3x ² dx, so the integral becomes

[tex]\displaystyle \int_2^\infty\frac{x^2}{x^3+1}\,\mathrm dx = \frac13\int_9^\infty\frac{\mathrm du}u = \frac13\ln(u)\bigg|_{u=9}^{u\to\infty}[/tex]

As u approaches infinity, we have ln(u) also approaching infinity (whereas 1/3 ln(9) is finite), so the integral and hence the sum diverges.

g A gift shop sells 40 wind chimes per month at $110 each. The owners estimate that for each $11 increase in price, they will sell 2 fewer wind chimes per month. Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Answers

Answer:

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.

Remember that a linear relationship is something like:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this line, we have the point (40, $110)

which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110

And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.

Then we also have the point (38, $121)

So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and  (38, $121)

Then the slope of the line is:

a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5

Then the equation of the line is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + b

to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)

This means that when x = 40, the price is $110

then:

p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b

            $110 = -$220 + b

       $110 + $220 = b

        $330 = b

Then the price equation is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330

Now we want to find the maximum revenue.

The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:

revenue = x*p(x)

replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:

revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.

You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.

And remember that for a quadratic equation like:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then for our equation:

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

the x-vale of the vertex will be:

x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30

x = 30

This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.

And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30

p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Two chords in a circle intersect. One chord is made of 6 and 5, and the other is made of x +1 and x. What is x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 5 and -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the intersecting chord theorem which states that the products of the lengths of the line segments on each chord are equal.

Hence:

let

a = 6, b = 5, c = x+1 and d = x

Therefore, ab = cd

6*5 = x(x+1)

30 = x²+x

x²+x - 30 = 0

x²+ 6x - 5x - 30 = 0

x(x+6) - 5(x+6) =0

(x-5)(x+6) = 0

x-5 =0 and x+6 = 0

x = 5 and -6

What is the distance between the points (7, 8) and (-8, 0) on a coordinate grid?

Answers

Answer:

17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula, [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Plug in the points and simplify:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-8 - 7)^2 + (0-8)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-15)^2 + (-8)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{225 + 64[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{289[/tex]

[tex]d = 17[/tex]

So, the distance between the points is 17 units

1. You are given the 3rd and 5th term of an arithmetic sequence. Describe in words how to determine the general term.

2. You are given the 3rd and 5th term of an geometric sequence. Describe how to determine the 10th term without finding the general term.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In an arithmetic sequence, the general term can be written as

xₙ = y + d(a-1), where xₐ represents the ath term, y is the first value, and d is the common difference.

Given the third term and the fifth term, and knowing that the difference between each term is d, we can say that the 4th term is x₃+d and the fifth term is the fourth term plus d, or (x₃+d)+d =

x₃+2d. =x₅ Given x₃ and x₅, we can subtract x₃ from both sides to get

x₅-x₃ = 2d

divide by 2 to isolate d

(x₅-x₃)/2 = d

This lets us solve for d. Given d, we can say that

x₃ = y+d(2)

subtract 2*d from both sides to isolate the y

x₃ -2*d = y

Therefore, because we know x₃ and d at this point, we can solve for y, letting us plug y and d into our original equation of

xₙ = y + d(a-1)

2.

Given the third and fifth term, with a common ratio of r, we can say that the fourth term is x₃ * r. Then, the fifth term is

x₃* r * r

= x₃*r² = x₅

divide both sides by x₃ to isolate the r²

x₅/x₃ = r²

square root both sides

√(x₅/x₃) = ±r

One thing that is important to note is that we don't know whether r is positive or negative. For example, if x₃ = 4 and x₅ = 16, regardless of whether r is equal to 2 or -2, 4*r² = 16. I will be assuming that r is positive for this question.

Given the common ratio, we can find x₆ as x₅ * r, x₇ as x₅*r², and all the way up to x₁₀ = x₅*r⁵. We don't know the general term, but can still find the tenth term of the sequence

find the two intersection points

(x+1)^2 +(y+2)^2 = 16

3x+ 4y = 1
Show your steps please

Answers

Answer:

Our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find where the two graphs given by the equations:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 = 16\text{ and } 3x+4y=1[/tex]

Intersect.

When they intersect, their x- and y-values are equivalent. So, we can solve one equation for y and substitute it into the other and solve for x.

Since the linear equation is easier to solve, solve it for y:

[tex]\displaystyle y = -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Substitute this into the first equation:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\right) +2\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(-\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{4}\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Square. We can use the perfect square trinomial pattern:

[tex]\displaystyle \underbrace{(x^2 + 2x+1)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} + \underbrace{\left(\frac{9}{16}x^2-\frac{27}{8}x+\frac{81}{16}\right)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} = 16[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 16:

[tex](16x^2+32x+16)+(9x^2-54x+81) = 256[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]25x^2+-22x+97=256[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle 25x^2 - 22x -159=0[/tex]

We can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 25, b = -22, and c = -159. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-(-22)\pm\sqrt{(-22)^2-4(25)(-159)}}{2(25)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x &= \frac{22\pm\sqrt{16384}}{50} \\ \\ &= \frac{22\pm 128}{50}\\ \\ &=\frac{11\pm 64}{25}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1 = \frac{11+64}{25} = 3\text{ and } x_2 = \frac{11-64}{25} =-\frac{53}{25}[/tex]

We have our two x-coordinates.

To find the y-coordinates, we can simply substitute it into the linear equation and evaluate. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle y_1 = -\frac{3}{4}(3)+\frac{1}{4} = -2[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle y _2 = -\frac{3}{4}\left(-\frac{53}{25}\right) +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{46}{25}[/tex]

Thus, our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

Your calculations show that the maximum discharge rate of nitrogen through the existing relief system of the vessel is 0.5 kgls, However, your calculations also show that the flow of nitrogen through the l-in supply pipe will be much greater than this. Thus under the current configuration a failure of the nitrogen regulator will result in an over pressuring of the reactor. One way to solve the problem is to install an orifice plate in the nitrogen line, thus limiting the flow to the maximum of 0.5 kg/s. Determine the orifice diameter (in cm) required to achieve this flow. Assume a nitrogen source supply pressure of 15 bar absolute. The ambient temperature is 25C and the ambient pressure is 1 atm. 3.
