A freight company has shipping orders for two products. The first product has a unit volume of 10 cu ft, and it weighs 50 lbs. T

he second product's unit volume is 3 cu ft, and it weighs 40 lbs. If the company's trucks have 2300 cu ft of space and can carry 21,000 lbs., how many units of each can be transported in a single shipment with one truck?

Answer:

116 units of the first product

380 units of the second product

Step-by-step explanation:

Product 1 has a unit volume of 10 cu ft

Product 2 has a unit volume of 3 cu ft

The truck has 2300 cu ft of space

Product 1 weighs 50 lbs

Product 2 weighs 40 lbs

The truck can carry 21000 lbs

Let X be the units of product 1

Let Y be the units of product 2

The given information can be expressed as:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

50X+40Y=21000...(2)

Solving the system of equations:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X=2300-3Y

X=(2300-3Y)/10

Substituting X in (2) we have:

50X+40Y=21000

50[(2300-3Y)/10]+40Y=21000

50[(2300/10)-(3Y/10)]+40Y=21000

50[230-(3Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-(150Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-15Y+40Y=21000

11500+25Y=21000

25Y=21000-11500

25Y=9500

Y=380

Substituting Y in (1) we have:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X+3(380)=2300

10X+1140=2300

10X=2300-1140

10X=1160

X=116

So 116 units of the first product and 380 units of the second product can be transported in a single shipment with one truck.

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) $v(2\,s) = 2.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , b) $v(4\,s) = -16.7\,\frac{m}{s}$ , c) $t = 2.296\,s$ , d) $h (2.296\,s) = 27.829\,m$ , e) $t \approx 4.679\,s$ , f) $v(4.679\,s) = -23.354\,\frac{m}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity function can be derived by the differentiating the height function:

$v = 22.5-9.8\cdot t$

Velocities after 2 and 4 seconds are, respectively:

a) $v(2\,s) = 2.9\,\frac{m}{s}$

b) $v(4\,s) = -16.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum height is reached when velocity is zero. Then:

$22.5-9.8\cdot t = 0$

c) $t = 2.296\,s$

The maximum height is:

d) $h (2.296\,s) = 27.829\,m$

The time required to hit the ground is:

$-4.9\cdot t^{2}+22.5\cdot t +2 = 0$

Roots of the second-order polynomial are:

$t_{1} \approx 4.679\,s$

$t_{2} \approx -0.087\,s$

Only the first root is physically reasonable.

e) $t \approx 4.679\,s$

The velocity when the projectile hits the ground is:

f) $v(4.679\,s) = -23.354\,\frac{m}{s}$

The price of a ceramic bead necklace (Y) is directly proportional to the number of beads (x) on the necklace. Using the graph, w

Annette [7]

Answer: C) (1,0.80) represents the unit rate. E) (25,20) represents the price of a necklace with 25 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

(1, 0.80) represents the unit rate.

(25, 20) represents the price of a necklace with 25 beads.

$\frac{y}{x}$ = unit rate → $\frac{4}{5}$ = 0.80; $\frac{12}{15}$ = 0.80; $\frac{16}{20}$ = 0.80

Point (1, r) → (1, 0.80) represents the unit rate.

25(0.80) = 20; thus, (25, 20) represents the price of 25 beads.

Hope this helps

A satellite makes 4 revolutions of the earth in one day. How many revolutions would it make in 6 1/2 days?

koban [17]

26.
1 day/24 hours, makes 4 revolutions.
4 x 6 = 24,
1/2 of 4 = 2.
24+2 = 26.
26 revolutions, if my answer is wrong someone please correct me.

A common assumption in modeling drug assimilation is that the blood volume in a person is a single compartment that behaves like

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}$

b) $\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}$

c) the steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) t ≅ 153.51 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

At time t= 0

an intravenous line is inserted into a vein (into the tank) that carries a drug solution with a concentration of 500

The inflow rate is 0.06 L/min.

Assume the drug is quickly mixed thoroughly in the blood and that the volume of blood remains constant.

The objective of the question is to calculate the following :

a) Write an initial value problem that models the mass of the drug in the blood for t ≥ 0.

From above information given :

$Rate _{(in)}= 500 \ mg/L \times 0.06 \ L/min = 30 mg/min$

$Rate _{(out)}=\dfrac{x}{4} \ mg/L \times 0.06 \ L/min = 0.015x \ mg/min$

Therefore;

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = Rate_{(in)} - Rate_{(out)}$

with respect to x(0) = 0

$\mathbf{\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 30 - 0.015 x}$

b) Solve the initial value problem and graph both the mass of the drug and the concentration of the drug.

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -0.015(x - 2000)$

$\dfrac{dx}{(x - 2000)} = -0.015 \times dt$

By Using Integration Method:

$ln(x - 2000) = -0.015t + C$

$x -2000 = Ce^{(-0.015t)$

$x = 2000 + Ce^{(-0.015t)}$

However; if x(0) = 0 ;

Then

C = -2000

Therefore

$\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015t}}$

c) What is the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood?

the steady-state mass of the drug in the blood when t = infinity

$\mathbf{x = 2000 - 2000e^{-0.015 \times \infty }}$

x = 2000 - 0

x = 2000

Thus; the steady state mass of the drug is 2000 mg

d) After how many minutes does the drug mass reach 90% of its stead-state level?

After 90% of its steady state level; the mas of the drug is 90% × 2000

= 0.9 × 2000

= 1800

Hence;

$\mathbf{1800 = 2000 - 2000e^{(-0.015t)}}$

$0.1 = e^{(-0.015t)$

$ln(0.1) = -0.015t$

$t = -\dfrac{In(0.1)}{0.015}$

t = 153.5056729

t ≅ 153.51 minutes
