(1/6) / (3/7) = x / 1......1/6 distance to 3/7 hr = x distance to 1 hr
cross multiply
(3/7)(x) = (1/6)(1)
3/7x = 1/6
x = (1/6) / (3/7)
x = 1/6 * 7/3
x = 7/18 <=== 7/18 of the distance in 1 hr

Find the coefficient of x2 in (3x2 – 5) (4 + 4x2), expand using algebraic expressions and answer
Scilla [17]

Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(3x² - 5)(4 + 4x²)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3x²(4 + 4x²) - 5 (4 + 4x²) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 12x² + 12x^{4} - 20 - 20x² ← collect like terms

= 12x^{4} - 8x² - 20

The coefficient of the x² term is - 8

Jenny multiplies the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$. Her product is an integer. a) Name three number
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a) 2,50,18

Part b) When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by \sqrt{2}, she gets an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the favorite positive integer

Part a)

1) For x=2

\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4}=2 -----> the product is an integer

so

The number x=2 could be Jenny favorite positive integer

2) For x=50

\sqrt{50}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{100}=10 -----> the product is an integer

so

The number x=50 could be Jenny favorite positive integer

3) For x=18

\sqrt{18}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{36}=6 -----> the product is an integer

so

The number x=18 could be Jenny favorite positive integer

Part B)

1) For x=2

\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{1}=1 -----> the result is an integer

2) For x=50

\sqrt{50}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{25}=5 -----> the result is an integer

3) For x=18

\sqrt{18}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{9}=3 -----> the result is an integer

Therefore

When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by \sqrt{2} , she gets an integer

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 10m3. Thelength of its base is twice the width. Material
frutty [35]

Answer:

$163.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular container = 10m^3

Length = 2(width)

Material for the base cost $10 per square meter

Material for the side cost $6 per square meter

Volume = L*B*H

L= 2W

V = (2W).W. H

10 = 2W^2.H

H = 10 /2W^2

H = 5/W^2

Let C(w) = cost function

C(w) = 10(L.W) + 6(2.L.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W.W) + 6(2.2W.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W^2) + 6(4W.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W^2) + 6(4W*5/W^2 + 2.W*5/W^2)

= 20W^2 + 6(20/W + 10/W)

= 20W^2 + 6((10+20)/W)

= 20W^2 + 6(30/W)

C(w) = 20W^2 + 180/W

To find the minimum value, differentiate C with respect to w

C'(w) = 40W - 180/W^2

Put C'(w) = 0

0 = 40W - 180/W^2

40W = 180/W^2

40W^3 = 180

W^3 = 180/40

W^3 = 4.5

W = cube rt(4.5)

W = 1.65m

C = 20(1.65)^2 + 180/1.65

C = 54.45 + 109.09

C= $163.54

Minimum cost = $163.54
