Given:

The system of inequalities is

$x\leq 5$

$x\geq a$

To find:

The values of a for which the system has no solution.

Solution:

We have,

$x\leq 5$ ...(1)

It means the value of x is less than or equal to 5.

$x\geq a$ ...(2)

It means the value of x is greater than or equal to a

Using (1) and (2), we get

$a\leq x\leq 5$

But if a is great than 5, then there is no value of which satisfies this inequality.

Therefore, the system has no solution for a>5.

There are 345 students at a college who have taken a course in calculus, 212 who have taken a course in discrete mathematics, an

ollegr [7]

Answer:

369 students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to build the Venn's diagram of these values.

I am going to say that:

A is the number of students who have taken a course in calculus.

B is the number of students who have taken a course in discrete mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the number of students who have taken a course in calculus but not in discrete mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the number of students who have taken a course in both calculus and discrete mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

188 who have taken courses in both calculus and discrete mathematics.

This means that $A \cap B = 188$

212 who have taken a course in discrete mathematics

This means that $B = 212$

345 students at a college who have taken a course in calculus

This means that $A = 345$

How many students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics

$(A \cup B) = A + B - (A \cap B) = 345 + 212 - 188 = 369$

369 students have taken a course in either calculus or discrete mathematics

Michael earns $21 per hour and works 40 hours per week. How many overtime hours would he have to worky in a week for his time-an

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular hours are paid normally, 21/hr hence working for 40 hours, Michael earns 40*21=$840

To work x hours paid overtime as 1.5 of the normal rate, the rate would be $21*1.5=$31.5/hr

X hours multiplied by rate of $31.5/hr should be at least equal to $840

31.5x>=840

X>=840/31.5>=26.6667 hours and when rounded off

X is 27 hours

A spherical scoop of ice cream is placed on top of a hollow ice cream cone. the scoop and cone have the same radius. the ice cre

noname [10]

The figure shown below illustrates the problem.

The volume of the empty cone is
V₁ = (1/3) π r²h

The volume of the sphere is
V₂ = (4/3) π r³

Because the melted ice cream completely fills the cone, therefore
V₁ = V₂
(1/3) π r² h = (4/3) π r³
Divide each side by (1/3) π r².
h = 4r

Answer:
The height of the cone is 4 times greater than the radius f the cone.

The sound intensity of rustling leaves is 100 times the reference intensity. Use your graph to determine the sound intensity of

wariber [46]

The sound intensity of rustling leaves, y = 20 decibels

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 10logx

The sound intensity of rustling leaves is 100 times the reference intensity.

x = ratio of intensity of sound to reference to intensity

x = 100:1 or x = 100

y = 10 log(100) = 10 * 2 = 20 decibels

y = 20 decibels

How much heavier is a 9 1/8 pound box than a 2 5/6 pound box?

tatuchka [14]

So let’s simplify the given situation.
We need to find out how much heavier is 91/8 lbs. compare to 2 5/6 lbs.
Since, it’s a combination of whole number and fraction; we cannot directly subtract this given equation. We need to convert the two given number into a fraction.
9 1/8 = 8 x 9 = 72 + 1 = 73, 73 is our numerator and 8 is our denominator
=> 73/8
2 5/6 = 6 x 2 = 12 + 5 = 17, 17 is our numerator and 6 is our denominator
=> 17/6

Now, we have 2 fractions with unlike denominator. In order to get a common denominator, we have to find their least common factor.

=> 73 - 17 = 73 x 6 - 17 x 8 
 8 6 8 x 6 6 x 8
=> 438 – 136 Now, we have the same denominator, subtract
 48 48
=> 302 or 151
 48 24
=> 6 7
 24
Therefore 9 1/8 lbs. is 6 7/24 lbs. heavier than 2 5/6 lbs.
