6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

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.

Two forces, F1 and F2, are represented by vectors with initial points that are at the origin. The first force has a magnitude of

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two force F1 and F2 are represented by vectors with initial points that are at the origin.

the terminal point of the vector is point P(1, 1, 0)

Therefore, the direction of the vector force is

$v_1=(1-0)\hat i+(1-0)\hat j +(0-0)\hat k\\\\=1\hat i+1\hat j+0\hat k\\\\=\hat i + \hat j$

The unit vector in the direction of force will be

$\frac{v_1}{|v_1|} =\frac{\hat i+ \hat j}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+0^2} } \\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} (\hat i +\hat j)}$

The magnitude of the force is 40lb, so the force will be

$F_1=40\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } (\hat i+\hat j)\\\\=20\sqrt{2} (\hat i+\hat j)$

The terminal point of its vector is point Q(0, 1, 1)

Therefore, the direction of the vector force is

$v_2=(0-0)\hat i+(1-0)\hat j +(1-0)\hat k\\\\=0\hat i+1\hat j+1\hat k\\\\=\hat j + \hat k$

$\frac{v_2}{|v_2|} =\frac{\hat j+ \hat k}{\sqrt{0^2+1^2+1^2} } \\\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} (\hat j +\hat k)}$

The magnitude of the force is 60lb, so the force will be

$F_2=60\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } (\hat j+\hat k)\\\\=30\sqrt{2} (\hat j+\hat k)$

The resultant of the two forces is

$F=F_1+F_2\\\\=[20\sqrt{2} (\hat i+\hat j)]+[30\sqrt{2} (\hat j +\hat k)]\\\\=20\sqrt{2} \hat i+20\sqrt{2} \hat j +30\sqrt{2} \hat j+30\sqrt{2} \hat k\\\\=20\sqrt{2} \hat i+50\sqrt{2} \hat j+30\sqrt{2} \hat k$

The magnitude force will be

$|F|=\sqrt{(20\sqrt{2} )^2+(50\sqrt{2} )^2+(30\sqrt{2} )^2} \\\\=\sqrt{800+5000+1800} \\\\=\sqrt{3100} \\\\=55.68$

to (1 decimal place)=55.7lb

b) The direction angle of force F

The angle formed by F and x axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{20\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(0.5080)\\\\=59.469$

The angle formed by F and y axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{50\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(1.270)\\\\=$

The angle formed by F and z axis

$\alpha=\cos^{-1}(\frac{30\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3100} } )\\\\=\cos^{-1}(0.7620)\\\\=40.359$

What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Part 1) The rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The complete question is

Part 1) What does the rate of change in the example represent?

Part 2) What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?

Part 3) Write ordered pairs for the initial values of each function. Tell what the initial values represent

Part 1) we know that

The rate of change is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this context the rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) we know that

Alyssa’s rate of change is equal to $8 per week

Sarah’s rate of change is equal to $6 per week

That means ----> The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) we know that

The initial value or y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context , the initial value is the amount of money available at the time of beginning to save

Sarah's Savings

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,8)

That means ----> At the beginning (x=0), Sarah already had $8 saved.

Alyssa's Savings

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,0)

That means ----> At the begin (x=0), Alyssa had nothing saved.

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the

Solnce55 [7]

To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0 y = 567
at x = 1 y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
