Direct And Inverse Variation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 workers can do the job in 18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of days d varies inversely as the number of workers.

We can write it as: [tex]d\: \alpha\: \frac{1}{w} \\d=\frac{k}{w}[/tex]

where k is constant of proportionality

We are given: If it takes 9 days for 8 workers to complete the job, then how many workers would it take to do the job in 18 days.

d = 9, w = 8

d = 18, w =?

First we will find value of k when d = 9, w =8

[tex]d=\frac{k}{w}\\9=\frac{k}{8}\\k=9*8\\k=72[/tex]

The value of k, will remain same as it is constant.

We get k = 72.

So, Now we have d = 18, k = 72 and we need to find w

[tex]d=\frac{k}{w}\\18=\frac{72}{w}\\18w=72\\w=\frac{72}{18}\\w=4[/tex]

So, 4 workers can do the job in 18 days.

Pleasss help thank you :)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 68 and 52

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 120

3(x - y ) = 48

We have 3x + 3y = 360

and 3x - 3y = 48

Adding we have the following:

6x = 408

x = 68

y = 120-48 = 52

The length of a rectangular park is twice its width.
The park is surrounded by a 3-foot-wide path.
Write a quadratic function to represent the total
area of the park and the path.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A=2x^2+18x+36[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Function

It's given the length of a rectangular park is twice its width.

Let's call:

x = width of the rectangular park

2x = length of the rectangular park

The park is surrounded by a 3-foot-wide path. This path adds 3 ft twice to both dimensions, i.e.:

x+3+3=x+6 width of the park and the path

2x+3+3=2x+6 length of the park and the path

The total area is:

A=(x+6)(2x+6)

Operating:

[tex]A=2x^2+6x+12x+36[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{A=2x^2+18x+36}[/tex]

The plastic cylinder has a diameter of 2 cm. There is a rectangular 0.6 cm square prism through the middle of the cylinder, extending from the top to the bottom. The height of the cylinder is 6 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder without the prism.

Answers

Answer:

16.69 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the volume of the cylinder without the prism you find the volume of the cylinder assuming it has no prism in it then minus the volume of the prism

Volume of the cylinder assuming there is no prism through it

V=πr²h  where r is radius of the cylinder and h is height of the cylinder

Given that diameter = 2, then r= 1 cm  and height, h = 6cm

V= π * 1 * 1 * 6

V= 18.85 cm³

Volume of the rectangular prism

V= l*w*h

V= 6*0.6*0.6

V= 2.16 cm³

The volume of the cylinder without the prism

18.85 cm³-2.16 cm³ = 16.69 cm³

Therefore we have x + 72° = 90° + 34°.

=> x + 72° = 124°, x = 52°.

Hence the value of x is 52°.

The value of x would be 52 degrees

Write an equation for the function g whose graph is the graph off
f(x) = -100(1.05)
translated to the right 5 units and up 50 units.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = -100(1.05)^(x+5) + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation that represents the transformation

5 units right means 5 units on the positive x-axis

50 units up means we add this to the total y value

So the resulting equation will be;

f(x) = -100(1.05)^(x+5) + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

first, i removed the parentheses.

6 + 0.75e = 2 - 1.25e

then, i moved the terms.

0.75 e + 1.25e = 2 - 6

next, i collected the like terms and calculated them.

2e = -4

finally, i divided both sides.

e = -2

A company has offices in 3 different cities and a rotal of 480 workers there are 90 workers in newyork and 130 workers in denver the rest of the workers are in san diego

Answers

Answer:

Workers in San Diego = 260 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total workers = 480

Number of offices = 3

In each office in different cities

New york = 90 workers

Denver = 130 workers

San Diego = x workers

Find x

Total number of workers = workers in New York + workers in Denver + workers in San Diego

480 = 90 + 130 + x

480 = 220 + x

480 - 220 = x

260 = x

x = 260 workers

Workers in San Diego = 260 workers

Find the average rate of change
f(x)=x^2−6x+8 when x2=1 and x1=3

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of change for given function is: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is:

[tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+8\\x_12= 1\\x_1 = 3[/tex]

In order to find the rate of change, we have to find the value of function on x1 and x2

So,

[tex]f(x_1) = (3)^2-6(3)+8 = 9-18+8 = -1\\f(x_2) = (1)^2-6(1)+8 = 1-6+8 = 3[/tex]

The formula for finding the rate of change is:

[tex]Rate\ of\ change = \frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get

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

Hence,

Average rate of change for given function is: -2

Average rate of change for given function is: -2

Copy the expressions which are polynomials. Give reasons why the remaining are
not polynomials.
a)3x-2
b)p^2+1/p
c3y^2-2y/3+1

Answers

Answer: a and c are polynomials, b is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial p(x) is written as:

p(x) = aₙ*xⁿ + ... + a₂*x² + a₁*x¹ + a₀*x⁰

where x is the variable, and the numbers aₙ, aₙ₋₁, ..., a₁, a₀ are the coefficients of the polynomial, such that aₙ is the leading coefficient, and the value of n (always a natural number) is the degree of the polynomial.

Notice that the powers need to be always natural numbers.

Now, let's analyze the options:

a) 3*x - 2

We can rewrite this as:

3*x¹ - 2*x⁰

Then this is a polynomial.

b) p² + 1/p    (in this case the variable is p)

the second term can be written as:

1/p = p⁻¹

Then we have a term with a negative power of p, this means that this is not a polynomial.

c) 3*y² - 2*y/3 + 1

Same as in the first case, we can rewrite this as:

3*y² - (2/3)*y¹ + 1*y⁰

This is a polynomial.

Im writing a story and need some ideas on what should happen next. About thirty minutes later, I hear a car horn outside my apartment. This is it. The moment Im going to enter the car of the person Im supposed to hate. Why did I tell him Id go to the park with him? I walk out and try to open the car door, its locked. I knock on the window and mouth to him that the door is locked. He nods his head and starts laughing at me. I knew this was a bad idea. He is awful! I angrily glare at him for a few seconds until he finally unlocks the door and lets me in. When I enter the car I ask him, Why did you do that? He laughs and says, Because it was funny. I roll my eyes and say, No it wasnt. He starts the car then says, Wow, not even thirty seconds with me and youre already rolling your eyes? I glare at him for what feels like forever and he makes another sarcastic comment, Sunflower, if you wanna stare at me, you should take a picture. It lasts longer. Ugh! Youre so annoying, Im so regretting coming with you! He grins and keeps on driving. I honestly still have no idea why he invited me but I guess Ill never know. After minutes of awkward silence, I decide to say something. So pretty boy, why did you invite me to the park? He looks over at me and says, I have a name you know. Yeah, so do I, but yet, you never use it. He smiles at me. True, he says. I smile. Im really getting used to this fun side of him. Hang on, what? What am I saying? Getting used to him? No, never. I get rid of that thought and as I do, he parks the car and says, Here we are. Are you ready to have fun? I look over at him and respond, Im with you, Im not sure how much fun I can actually have.
