The correct option is B.
Pan balance is one of the instruments that are used to measure weights of objects. The instrument is designed in such a way that, it has two pans and a standard weight can be added to one of the pan to determine the weight of the object in the other pan. In the question given above, the pan balance is to be used to measure the weight of a large rock. Salt is the right object to be used on the second pan because it can be packaged in standard weights and it is very light in weight. So, it will be very sensitive to the weight of the rock that is been added on the other pan.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The x value represents the time and y value represents the distance
Answer:
-2+sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
When cos(angle)=sqrt(3)/2
then sin(of that angle)= + or - 1/2 depending on the quadrant
Anyways 330 degrees is in the 4 quadrant. Cosine is positive there while sine is negative.
so sin(330)=-1/2
Formula for tan(x/2)=(1-cos(x))/sin(x)
Therefore tan(165)=tan(330/2)=(1-cos(330))/sin(330)=(1-sqrt(3)/2)/(-1/2)
Multiply top and bottom by 2 to get
tan(165)=(2-sqrt(3))/-1
tan(165)=-2+sqrt(3)
Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82
To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.
Answer:
- k = 0.005
- doubling time ≈ 139 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Matching the form
A = A0·e^(kt)
to the given equation
A = 8·e^(.005t)
we can identify the value of k as being 0.005.
k = 0.005
___
The doubling time is given by the formula ...
t = ln(2)/k = ln(2)/0.005 ≈ 138.63
It will take about 139 years for the population to double.
