This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Answer:

Circumference of wheel=πd

Circumference of wheel =22*2.1/7

Circumference of wheel =6.6 Mrs

It coveres 6.6mtrs in one round

Then in 100 rounds it will take 6.6*100=660mtrs

Find the number a such that the line x = a bisects the area under the curve y = 1/x2 for 1 ≤ x ≤ 4. 8 5 (b) find the number b s

IceJOKER [234]

a. We're looking for $a$ such that

$\displaystyle\int_1^a\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}=\int_a^4\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}$

$-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=1}^{x=a}=-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=a}^{x=4}$

$1-\dfrac1a=\dfrac1a-\dfrac14$

$\dfrac54=\dfrac2a\implies\boxed{a=\dfrac85}$

b. Integrating with respect to $y$ will make things easier.

$y=\dfrac1{x^2}\implies x=\dfrac1{\sqrt y}$

(where we take the positive square root because we know $x>0$ )

Now we want to find $b$ such that

$\displaystyle\int_0^b\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}=\int_b^1\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}$

$2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=b}=2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=b}^{b=1}$

$2\sqrt b=2-2\sqrt b$

$4\sqrt b=2\implies\boxed{b=\dfrac14}$

What is the median of the following 7 scores?

dybincka [34]

First, you want to put all the numbers in order from least to greatest.

21, 33, 33, 42, 67, 79, 89

Now, you can use this song to help remember how to do these problems.

Cross off the sides till you get to the center. 1 is good, 2 is bad. (If you get two numbers in the middle) add then divide by two.

Cross off 21, then 89, then 33, then 79, then 33, then 67. Now, you're left with 42 in the middle. That is your median. Hope this helps! :)
