Answer:

1. D

2. B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation $W=HR+1.5VR+B+T$

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)

<em>Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:</em>

<em> $W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25$ </em>

<em>So avon's earnings are $341.25</em>

<em>Answer choice D is right.</em>

<u>Question 2:</u>

The other employee needs to work $x$ hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

$(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53$

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. $341.25
B. About 28.5

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1. Put the given numbers in the given formula and do the arithmetic.

... W = 40·5 +1.5·5.5·5 +0 +100

... = 200 + 41.25 +100

... = 341.25 . . . . . matches selection D

___

2. Multiplying hours by the hourly rate gives earnings. You want to find h such that ...

... $15·h = $428

Divide by $15.

... h = $428/$15 = 28 8/15 ≈ 28.5333 . . . . close to answer choice B

The harmonic motion of a particle is given by f(t) = 2 cos(3t) + 3 sin(2t), 0 ≤ t ≤ 8. (a) When is the position function decreas

iren [92.7K]

For the last part, you have to find where $f'(t)$ attains its maximum over $0\le t\le8$ . We have

$f'(t)=-6\sin3t+6\cos2t$

so that

$f''(t)=-18\cos3t-12\sin2t$

with critical points at $t$ such that

$-18\cos3t-12\sin2t=0$

$3\cos3t+2\sin2t=0$

$3(\cos^3t-3\cos t\sin^2t)+4\sin t\cos t=0$

$\cos t(3\cos^2t-9\sin^2t+4\sin t)=0$

$\cos t(12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3)=0$

So either

$\cos t=0\implies t=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2$

or

$12\sin^2t-4\sin t-3=0\implies\sin t=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6\implies t=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{10}}6+2n\pi$

where $n$ is any integer. We get 8 solutions over the given interval with $n=0,1,2$ from the first set of solutions, $n=0,1$ from the set of solutions where $\sin t=\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6$ , and $n=1$ from the set of solutions where $\sin t=\dfrac{1-\sqrt{10}}6$ . They are approximately

$\dfrac\pi2\approx2$

$\dfrac{3\pi}2\approx5$

$\dfrac{5\pi}2\approx8$

$\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6\approx1$

$2\pi+\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1+\sqrt{10}}6\approx7$

$2\pi+\sin^{-1}\dfrac{1-\sqrt{10}}6\approx6$

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with

cupoosta [38]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the base of the pyramid, which is a regular hexagon. You can see that there is a right triangle.

The area of the triangle can be calculated with this formula:

$A_t=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can say that the apothem is the height of the right triangle, then, you need to find the base applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

$(2x)^2=(x\sqrt{3})^2+b^2\\\\b=\sqrt{(2x)^2-(x\sqrt{3})^2} \\\\b=\sqrt{4x^2-3x^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{x^2}\\\\b=x$

Then, the area of the triangle is:

$A_t=\frac{x(x\sqrt{3})}{2}=\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2}$

Since the base of the pyramid is a regular hexagon, then you can multiply by 12 the area of the right triangle calculated above, in order to find the area of the hexagon. Then you get:

$A_h=12(\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2})=6x^2\sqrt{3}\ units^2$

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that RS is parallel to DC, we have;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles on the same side of transversal)

Similarly;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles on the same side of transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD = (Reflexive property)

Therefore;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR Angle, Angle Angle (AAA) rule of congruency

2) Whereby ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we therefore have;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR = SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

Inverting both sides

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC the above we have by cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC gives;

BR × SC = RD × BR → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BR).
