A tiling company completes two jobs. The first job has $1200 in labor expenses for 40 hours worked, while the second job has $15

60 in labor expenses for 52 hours worked. The relationship between the labor expenses and the hours worked is linear. Which equation can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation? 1200 = 40 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (40) + b 1560 = 30 (52) + b 1200 = 52 (30) + b

Answer:

The correct option is;

1560 = 30(52) + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the first job = $1,200 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the first job = 40

The second job costs $1,560 in labor and expenses

The number of hours worked in the second job = 52

If the cost of labor per hour = L and the expenses = b, we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + b......................(1)

$1,560 = 52×L + b.......................(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we have;

52×L + b - (40×L + b) = 52×L - 40×L + b - b = $1,560 - $1,200 = $360

12×L = $360

L = $360/12 = $30/hour

From equation (1), we have;

$1,200 = 40×L + X = 40×$30 + b

Therefore, the equation that can be used to calculate the y-intercept of the linear equation is either;

1200 = 40(30) + X or 1560 = 32(52) + b, which gives the correct option as 1560 = 32(52) + b

Please, I'm confuse!

OK. You asked for it. Here we go.
First, let's gather up the tools we might use ...
some things that we know about triangles:

-- Every triangle: Area = (1/2) x (length of the base) x (the height)

-- Isosceles triangle: It has two sides that are the same length.

-- Right triangle: It has one right angle in it.
The sides that meet at the right angle are called the "legs".
They form a corner there, like this    _|   .
-------------------------------------------
Now we can start using these tools to hack away at the problem.
Farmer Ted has an isosceles right triangle garden.
The problem asks us to figure out how long the legs are.

Before he changes anything, it looks like this   _|   and both of
those sides are the same length. Call it 'x' until we figure out
what it really is.

Notice that one of them is the base of the triangle, and the other one
is the height. So the area of this triangle is

                           (1/2) (x) (x) or (1/2) x² .

-------------------------------

Farmer Ted is never satisfied. Suddenly, one day without warning, he
comes along and makes the garden bigger. He makes one of the legs
7 ft longer, and he makes the other one 5 ft longer.

Now the length of one leg is (x + 7) and the other one is (x + 5) .
They're still the base and height of the triangle, so the area of the
bigger garden is
                           (1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5).

The problem says that this area is 55 square feet more than the original
area, so look out, here comes the <em>equation </em>:

                       new area         =      old area + bigger

                (1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5) =      (1/2) x² + 55

Locked in the mysterious shadowy crevices of this equation is
everything we need in order to figure out the original length of the legs ...
what we called 'x'.

At this point, we can forget about Farmer Ted, forget about the garden,
and just go back to our laboratory with this equation and solve it to find 'x'.

Let's take it slow and easy, one little step at a time:

                             <u>(1/2) (x + 7) (x + 5) = (1/2) x² + 55</u>

Multiply each side by 2 :       (x + 7) (x + 5) =   x² + 110

Expand (FOIL) the left side:     x² + 12x + 35 =   x² + 110

Subtract x² from each side:          12x + 35 =   110

Subtract 35 from each side:          12x   =      75

Divide each side by 12 :                         <em>x = 6.25 feet</em>

==============================================

OK. That's a very nice number. How do we know whether it's correct ?
Let's check it out, and see if it fits the story:

Original area = (1/2 x base x height) = (0.5 x 6.25 x 6.25) = 19.53125 sq ft

One new leg = (6.25 + 7) =   13.25 ft
Other new leg = (6.25 + 5) = 11.25 ft

New area = (1/2 x base x height) = (0.5 x 13.25 x 11.25) = 74.53125 sq ft

How much bigger is the new area ?

   74.53125 - 19.53125 = <em>55 sq ft </em> yay !

When we start with legs that are 6.25-ft and go through the whole story,
the new area is exactly what the problem says it was. So 6.25-ft is the
correct original length of the legs, before Farmer Ted messed with it.

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm

saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation $ae^{ct}=d$ . We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

$\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}$

$e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}$

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

$\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Using natural log property $\text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a)$ , we will get:

$ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

We know that $\text{ln}(e)=1$ , so we will get:

$ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

$ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})$

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

$\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

$t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$

Therefore, our solution would be $t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}$ .
