Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

√b+20 - √b = 5

The first step is we will add √b to both sides:

√b+20 -√b +√b = 5 +√b

√b+20 = 5+√b

Now take square at both sides:

(√b+20)^2 = (5+√b)^2

b+20 = 25+10√b+b

Now combine the like terms:

b+20-25-b=10√b

-5 = 10√b

Divide both the terms by 10

-5/10 = 10√b/10

-1/2=√b

Take square at both sides:

(-1/2)^2 = (√b)^2

1/4 = b

So in this type of question we add radical terms to both sides and square both sides twice....

Evelyn has $524.96 in her checking account. She must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. She wrote a check for $32.50 today.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500

Amount need to deposit = $7.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount in checking account = $524.96

Maintain amount = $500

Amount of check = $32.50

Find:

Amount need to deposit

Computation:

Assume, amount need to deposit = x

So,

For avoiding fee

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500

x = 7.54

Amount need to deposit = $7.54

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 12 m and 14 m. The angle between them is increasing at a rate of 2°/min. How fast is the le

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

1.692 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\theta$ be the angle between the two sides and x be the length of the third side. By cosine rule,

$x^2 = 12^2+14^2-2\times12\times14\cos\theta = 340 - 336\cos\theta$

$x= \sqrt{340 - 336\cos\theta}$

We differentiate x with respect to $\theta$ by applying chain rule.

$\dfrac{dx}{d\theta} = \dfrac{336\sin\theta}{2\sqrt{340 - 336\cos\theta}} = \dfrac{168\sin\theta}{\sqrt{340 - 336\cos\theta}}$

Rate of change of $\theta$ is 2

$\dfrac{\theta}{dt} = 2$

Rate of change of x is

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = \dfrac{dx}{d\theta}\times\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = \dfrac{168\sin\theta}{\sqrt{340 - 336\cos\theta}} \times2=\dfrac{336\sin\theta}{\sqrt{340 - 336\cos\theta}}$

At 60°,

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = \dfrac{336\sin60}{\sqrt{340 - 336\cos60}} = 1.692 \text{ m/min}$

Anika [276]

The most likely answer is D) <span>"The date that the check is written is usually a few days before it is cashed. We record when it was cashed and you record when its written".

There is usually a delay between when you write someone a check (and record it in your ledger) and when that person cashes it (when the bank records it). </span>

The warehouse already has 27 pallets of stock waiting to be unloaded, and the delivery van arrives with another 8. The warehouse

Natasha_Volkova [10]

To find the answer you would add 27 and 8 together which would give you 35. Once you've done that, you would subtract 32 from 35 which would give you 3 meaning that there will be 3 pallets left over as your answer.
