Hello,

f(1)=160
f(2)=160*(-2)
f(3)=160*(-2)²
f(4)=160*(-2)^3=-1280

f(n)=160*(-2)^(n-1)

Janice needs to re-shingle the roof of her house. One bundle of shingles costs $35.99 and covers 2.25 m2.
larisa [96]
To calculate the number of shingles, we first calculate for the total area of the roof of Janice's house. From the figure, we can calculate the area of the two shapes: pyramid and a rectangular prism.

A(pyramid) = lw+l√[(w/2)²+h²]+w√[(l/2)²+h²]
A = 208 m²
A(prism) = 2(wl+hl+hw)
A = 293 m²

Total area = 501 m²

Number of shingles she needs = 501 m² / 2.25 m² =<span> 223</span><span>

A rectangular area is formed having a perimeter of 40 cm. Determine the length and breadth of the rectangle if it is to enclose
Vilka [71]

Let x and y be the dimensions of the rectangle. If the perimeter is 40, we have

2(x+y)=40 \iff x+y=20

We can expression one variable in terms of the others as

x+y=20 \iff x=20-y

Since the area is the product of the dimensions, we have

xy=(20-y)y=-y^2+20y

This is a parabola facing down, so it's vertex is the maximum:

f(y)=-y^2+20y \implies f'(y)=-2y+20

So, the maximum is

f'(y)=0 \iff -2y+20=0 \iff 2y=20 \iff y=10

And since we know that x+y=20, we have x=10 as well.

This is actually a well known theorem: out of all the rectangles with given perimeter, the one with the greatest area is the square.

Casey needed to move 23 huge boxes from his truck to the loading dock. His forklift could only hold three boxes at once. How man
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the forklift has a maximum capacity of three boxes per trip, simply divide the total number of boxes (23 boxes) by three and round up to the nearest whole unit to find the number of trips required:

n=\frac{23}{3}=7.667

Casey had to visit the dock 8 times. He moved three boxes in seven trips and two boxes in one trip.

Talia wants to write the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form. These are the steps she plans to use:
mezya [45]
From the steps Talia chooses to find the equation of the line, we shall evaluate the incorrect step as follows:
Step 1:
Choose a point in the line such as (2,5)
Step 2:
<span>Choose another point on the line, such as (1, 3)
step 3:
</span><span>Count units to determine the slope ratio. The line runs 1 unit to the right and rises 2 units up, so the slope is. 
(5-3)/(2-1)=2/2=1
step 4:
</span><span> Substitute those values into the point-slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-3=2(x-1)
y=2x+1
Thus the answer is:
</span><span>Step 4 is incorrect because it shows an incorrect substitution of (1, 3) into the point-slope form</span>
