The ceiling of Katie’s living room is a square that is 10 ft long on each side. Katie knows the diagonal of the ceiling from cor

ner to corner must be longer than 10 ft, but she doesn’t know how long it is.
Solve for the length of the diagonal of Katie’s ceiling in two ways. Be sure to show your work for each method. Round to the nearest whole number. Your answers should be the same.

a. Using the Pythagorean Theorem











b. Using Trigonometry Ratios (Hint: what angle is formed when you cut the square diagonally?)

Answer:

Answer: 14 feet. a. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the sides of a right angle. By plugging in the sides of the wall, and solving for c, you can find the answer. 10^2 + 10^2 = c^2

| 100 + 100 = c^2 | 200 = c^2 | c = sqrt 200 | c = 14. The other way to solve this would be using the trig functions. You know that the angle between the hypotenuse and the wall side is 45 degrees, so you can use Sine to determine the hypotenuse. Sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. Sin (45) = 10/h | Sin (45) * h = 10 | h = 10/Sin (45) | h = 14. Both of the methods result in 14.

The annual energy consumption of the town where Camilla lives increases at a rate that is proportional at any time to the energy
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The town's annual energy consumption will be of 6.57 trillons of BTU after 9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual energy consumption of the town where Camilla lives increases at a rate that is proportional at any time to the energy consumption at that time.

This means that the consumption after t years is given by the following differential equation:

\frac{dC}{dt} = kC

In which k is the growth rate.

The solution is, applying separation of variables:

C(t) = C(0)e^{kt}

In which C(0) is the initial consumption.

The town consumed 4.4 trillion British thermal units (BTUs) initially.

This means that C(0) = 4.4

So

C(t) = C(0)e^{kt}

C(t) = 4.4e^{kt}

5.5 trillion BTUs annually after 5 years.

This means that C(5) = 5.5. We use this to find k. So

C(t) = 4.4e^{kt}

5.5 = 4.4e^{5k}

e^{5k} = \frac{5.5}{4.4}

e^{5k} = 1.25

\ln{e^{5k}} = \ln{1.25}

5k = \ln{1.25}

k = \frac{\ln{1.25}}{5}

k = 0.0446

So

C(t) = 4.4e^{0.0446t}

After 9 years?

This is C(9). So

C(9) = 4.4e^{0.0446*9} = 6.57

The town's annual energy consumption will be of 6.57 trillons of BTU after 9 years.

Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 100000 bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration doubles every 2 hour
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3.85 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the model equation in this case would be of the following type, being "and" the concentration of bacteria:

y = a * e ^ (b * t)

where a and b are constants and t is time.

We know that when the time is 0, we know that there are 100,000 bacteria, therefore:

100000 = a * e ^ (b * 0)

100000 = a * 1

a = 100000

they tell us that when the time is 2 hours, the amount doubles, that is:

200000 = a * e ^ (b * 2)

already knowing that a equals 100,000

e ^ (b * 2) = 2

b * 2 = ln 2

b = (ln 2) / 2

b = 0.3465

Having the value of the constants, we will calculate the value of the time when there are 380000, that is:

380000 = 100000 * (e ^ 0.3465 * t)

3.8 = e ^ 0.3465 * t

ln 3.8 = 0.3465 * t

t = 1.335 / 0.3465

t = 3.85

That is to say that in order to reach this concentration 3.85 hours must pass

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0=2x2+3x-8?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

2x^2+3x-8 = 0

To find the roots of the equation. We will apply the general formula for quadratic equations

x = -b ± √b^2 - 4ac]/2a

from the equation,

a = 2

b = 3

c = -8

It becomes

x = [- 3 ± √3^2 - 4(2 × -8)]/2×2

x = - 3 ± √9 - 4(- 16)]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √9 + 64]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √73]/4

x = [- 3 ± 8.544]/4

x = (-3 + 8.544) /4 or x = (-3 - 8.544) / 4

x = 5.544/4 or - 11.544/4

x = 1.386 or x = - 2.886

The positive solution is 1.39 rounded up to the nearest hundredth
