To solve 16x18, I double and halve?

1 answer:

8 0

To solve 16x18, you may split it up into a smaller increment you understand. Like 16x2, which equals 32. (18/2 is 9) multiply 32 by 9. you get your answer 288.

Step One
Figure out the cost for 1 cartridge
Cost = 90
Refund = 8 Subtract
Net cost = 82

Step Two
Find the cost for 14

A furniture company is introducing a new line of lounge chairs next quarter. These are the cost and revenue functions, where x r

QveST [7]

Answer:

No lower than $208, and no higher than $956.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the revenue (income) function is represented by a quadratic expression (a parabola with branches pointing down), and the cost function is linear with negative slope.

When we plot them, we obtain the graphs shown in the attached image. Notice as well that there are two points of intersection for these two functions. The revenue exceeds (lays above) the cost in between the two points of intersection (marked in red and green).

For the company to make a profit, the revenue has to be larger than the cost, so we study the limiting values for that to happen, which is the points of intersection of these two curves.

The first one (pictured in red) is associated with coordinates (35, 33488) which tells us that is the production of 35 chairs with a revenue of $33,488. That is a cost per chair of $33,488 / 35 = $956.8

The second intersection (pictured in green) is associated with coordinates (125, 26000), which tells us that is the production of 125 chairs with a revenue of $26,000. That is a cost per chair of $26000 / 125 = $ 208

So these values give us the minimum and maximum that the company can charge to make a profit.

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to estimate the arc length of the curve. Compare your answer with the value of the integral produ

SOVA2 [1]

$y=\ln(6+x^3)\implies y'=\dfrac{3x^2}{6+x^3}$

The arc length of the curve is

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}\,\mathrm dx$

which has a value of about 5.99086.

Let $f(x)=\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}$ . Split up the interval of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [9/2, 5]

The left and right endpoints are given respectively by the sequences,

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}2$

$r_i=\dfrac i2$

with $1\le i\le10$ .

These subintervals have midpoints given by

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4$

Over each subinterval, we approximate $f(x)$ with the quadratic polynomial

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that the integral we want to find can be estimated as

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It turns out that

$\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6$

so that the arc length is approximately

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6\approx5.99086$

The resultant of a certain system of forces has the X and Y components shown in Fig. 220. Determine the components of this resul

Alchen [17]

First, you need to determine the resultant force and its angle. This one is real easy, since you only have one (x) and one (y) component. X = 300 and Y = 480

1) sqrt (300^2 + 480^2) = ? (round your answer) 
2) tanθ = y/x Solving for θ: θ = tan^-1(y/x): θ = ? (round your answer) 

Now, you should have a resultant force value and its angle, from zero, in the first quadrant and between the Y and N axes. Draw yourself a diagram showing all of the axes, the resultant and the angles. You're going to have to do some very easy math to determine the angles between the Y and N axes and the resultant. Call these new angles α and β. α is the angle between N and the resultant and β is the angle between T and the resultant. Hint: one of them is 28 deg. 

Once you've gotten those figured, the Y and N axes become your new axis, ignore the X and Y. Find the X and Y components of the resultant (again). ? * cos(α) = 500 and ? * sin(β) = 266 (round your answers)
