Subtract 4 ounces from 5 pounds.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer is 4 lb.,12 oz. As one pound has 16 ounces. When we convert the given 5 lb. into ounces we multiply it by 16. 5 lb = 5 x 16 oz 5 lb = 80 oz When we subtract 4 oz from 80 oz We get 80 - 4 = 76 oz Which is 64 oz + 12 oz (16 x 4) oz + 12 oz Which will be 4 lb. + 12 oz So the answer will be 4 lb., 12 oz.

answer A radio station located 120 miles due east of Collinsville has a listening radius of 100 miles. A straight road joins Col

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

168.7602 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is by using an equation that describes the listening radius of the station, and another for the road, then the points where this two-equation intersect each other will represent when the driver starts and stops listening to the station, and the distance between the points is the miles that the driver will receive the signal.

The equation for the listening radius (the radio station is at (0,0)):

$x^2+y^2=100^2$

The equation for the road that past through the points (-120,0) and (80,100) (Collinsville and Harmony respectively):

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{100-0}{80-(-120)}=\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1}{2}$

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-120))\\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+60$

Substitutes the value of y in the equation of the circle:

$x^2+(\frac{1}{2}x+60)^2=100^2\\x^2+\frac{1}{4} x^2+60x+3600=10000\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x+3600=10000\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x+3600-10000=0\\\frac{5}{4} x^2+60x-6400=0\\5 x^2+240x-25600=0\\x^2+48x-5120=0\\$

The formula to solve second-degree equations:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{48^2-4(1)(-5120)} }{2(1)}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{2304+20480} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm\sqrt{22784} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-48\pm16\sqrt{89} }{2}\\x_{1,2}=-24\pm8\sqrt{89} \\x_1=-24+8\sqrt{89}\approx51.4718\\x_2=-24-8\sqrt{89}\approx-99.4718\\$

Using the values in x to find the values in y:

$y_1=\frac{1}{2}x_1+60\\y_1=\frac{1}{2}(-24+8\sqrt{89} )+60\\y_1=-12+4\sqrt{89}+60\\ y_1=48+4\sqrt{89}\approx85.7359$

$y_2=\frac{1}{2}x_2+60\\y_2=\frac{1}{2}(-24-8\sqrt{89} )+60\\y_1=-12-4\sqrt{89}+60\\ y_1=48-4\sqrt{89}\approx10.2641$

The distance between the points (51.4718,85.7359) and (-99.4718,10.2641) :

$d=\sqrt{(x_1 -x_2 )^2+(y_1 -y_2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(-24+8\sqrt{89} -(-24-8\sqrt{89}) )^2+(48+4\sqrt{89} -(48-4\sqrt{89}) )^2}\\d=\sqrt{(-24+8\sqrt{89} +24+8\sqrt{89} )^2+(48+4\sqrt{89} -48+4\sqrt{89} )^2}\\d=\sqrt{(16\sqrt{89} )^2+(8\sqrt{89} )^2}\\d=\sqrt{22784+5696}\\d=\sqrt{28480}\\d=8\sqrt{445}\approx168.7602miles$

A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest: Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P. Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

100

= 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r. Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today. Use the same equation: A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: Current savings account balance

Step-by-step explanation:

since the equation is y = mx + b

mx would be the starting point so she earns 12.50 per hour so it's the current amount she has is 12.50.

Sorry if it dosen't make sense.
