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.

A furniture company is introducing a new line of lounge chairs next quarter. These are the cost and revenue functions, where x r
QveST [7]

Answer:

No lower than $208, and no higher than $956.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the revenue (income) function is represented by a quadratic expression (a parabola with branches pointing down), and the cost function is linear with negative slope.

When we plot them, we obtain the graphs shown in the attached image. Notice as well that there are two points of intersection for these two functions. The revenue exceeds (lays above) the cost in between the two points of intersection (marked in red and green).

For the company to make a profit, the revenue has to be larger than the cost, so we study the limiting values for that to happen, which is the points of intersection of these two curves.

The first one (pictured in red) is associated with coordinates (35, 33488) which tells us that is the production of 35 chairs with a revenue of $33,488. That is a cost per chair of $33,488 / 35 = $956.8

The second intersection (pictured in green) is associated with coordinates (125, 26000), which tells us that is the production of 125 chairs with a revenue of $26,000. That is a cost per chair of $26000 / 125 = $ 208

So these values give us the minimum and maximum that the company can charge to make a profit.

What is the following quotient? sqrt 6 + sqrt 11 / sqrt 5 +sqrt 3
just olya [345]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's translate what you've written in words to an expression with mathematical symbols.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}

To solve this, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of the denominator.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}
