Audrey & Jack begin a candlelight

dinner at 5pm with a 9-inch candle. At

8pm, their candle is only 3 inches.

What is the average rate of change of

the height of the candle per hour?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-2 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the average rate of change is just like finding the slope. So, take the y values (height) and subtract them and divide that by the difference in the x values (time).

( 3 - 9 ) / ( 8 - 5 )

= -6 / 3

= -2 inches per hour

A man with a seven gallon bucket and a four gallon bucket goes to a well to get exactly five gallons of water. He has no container other than the buckets. How can he do it?​

Answers

This I think could be technically answered in a couple of ways. Fill the 4 gallon bucket up and then fill the 7 gallon bucket up 1/7 of the way. Or fill the 4 gallon bucket up and transfer to the 7 gallon bucket and fill the 4 gallon bucket up 1/4 of the way. Either way the 1/4 or the 1/7 will be a close estimate to get your 5 gallon bucket. I hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

A company makes a profit of $y (in thousand dollars) when it produces x computers, where y is given by the formula = ( − 100)( − 200) for ≥ 0 If 120 computers are produced, the profit will be $3,200,000.
a) Find the value of a.
b) What is the maximum profit the company can make? At this profit, how many
computers should be produced?
(7 marks) c) If the company targets to make at least $4,800,000, what is the range of the
number of computers to be produced?

Answers

lol no

just give up in life

The function is used to model real life situation

The value of a is -2000 150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000 A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000  

 

(a) The value of a

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - 100)(x - 200) }[/tex]

The profit on 120 computers is 3200000.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = a(120 - 100)(120 - 200) }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{3200000 = -1600a}[/tex]

Divide both side by -1600

[tex]\mathbf{a = -2000}[/tex]

Hence, the value of (a) is -2000

(b) The maximum profit

The function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 200x - 100x + 20000)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x\² - 300x + 20000)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{y' = -4000x + 600000}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{-4000x + 600000 = 0}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{4000x = 600000}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4000

[tex]\mathbf{x = 150}[/tex]

Substitute 150 for x in [tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(x - 100)(x - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -2000(150 - 100)(150 - 200)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 5000000}[/tex]

150 computers must be produced to maximize the profit of $5,000,000  

c) Range when the target is at least $4,800,000

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{y \ge 4800000}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 \ge 4800000}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 40000000 - 4800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{-2000x\² + 600000x - 44800000 \ge 0}[/tex]

Divide through by -2000

[tex]\mathbf{x\² - 300x +22400 \le 0}[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 140)(x - 160) \le 0}[/tex]

Express as inequality

[tex]\mathbf{140 \le x \le 160}[/tex]

A range of 140 to 160 computers would give the company at least $4,800,000

What is the length of side AB of the triangle? (1 point)

Square root of 6

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

as you can see, the distance between 2 points can always be seen as the Hypotenuse or baseline of a right-angled triangle created by the differences of the x and y coordinates of both points.

the drawn triangle is nothing else than that.

to calculate the length of a side in such a triangle we need to use Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse of baseline of the triangle and is opposite of the 90 degree angle.

a and b are the legs of the triangle "enclosing" the 90 degree angle.

so, we have

AB² = AC² + BC²

AC and BC we know : the coordinate differences in x and y directions.

AC = (4, 5) to (4, 2). as the x coordinates are the same, the difference is just the difference in the y coordinates : 5-2 = 3.

BC = (1, 2) to (4, 2). as the y coordinates are the same, the difference is just the difference in the x coordinates : 5-1 = 3.

AB² = 3² + 3² = 9 + 9 = 18

AB = sqrt(18)

FYI : sqrt(18) = sqrt(9×2) = 3×sqrt(2)

Answers

I think its c i am not 100/ sure

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Equal ratios can be found by multiplying/ dividing the parts by the same value.

A

1 : 6 ( multiply both parts by 3 )

= 3 : 18 ← equal ratios

B

2 : 14 ( multiply both sides by 3 )

= 6 : 42 ≠ 3 : 42 ← ratios not equal

C

12 : 6 ( divide both parts by 6 )

= 2 : 1 ← equal ratios

D

3 : 11 ( multiply both parts by 2 )

= 6 : 22 ← equal ratios

Kim kardashian weight lifts 150N. Her muscles use 100J of energy. Calculate the distance she moves her weight

Answers

Answer:

2/3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Work=Force*Distance

we can also say:

Distance=Work/Force

Distance=100j/150N

D=2/3 meters

The distance she moves her weight is 2/3 meters.

What is energy?

Energy, which is observable in the execution of labor as well as in the form of heat and light, is the quantitative quality that is transferred to a body or to a physical system in physics.

Energy is a preserved resource according to the rule of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed.

Given, Kim Kardashian weight lifts 150N.

Her muscles use 100J of energy.

We know work = force×distance.

∴ 100 = 150×distance.

distance = 100/150.

distance = 2/3 meters.
