The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 140°C. To covert Celsius temperature to

Fahrenheit temperature, the formula is C equals five ninths times the quantity F minus thirty two.. Write a compound inequality to determine the Fahrenheit temperature range at which the antifreeze protects the car.

Answer:

-40 < t < 284

Step-by-step explanation:

The antifreeze protects the car between −40°C and 140°C.

Using t for temperature, the compound inequality of the Celsius temperature range is:

-40 < t < 140

The conversion formula is given to find degrees C in given degrees F. We can solve the formula for F, so we get degrees F in terms of degrees C.

C = (5/9)(F - 32) <------ <em>conversion formula from deg F to deg C</em>

Solve for F:

(9/5)C = F - 32

(9/5)C + 32 = F

F = (9/5)C + 32 <------ <em>conversion formula from deg C to deg F</em>

Now we convert -40 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(-40) + 32

F = -72 + 32

F = -40

-40 deg C = -40 deg F

(This is not a mistake or a typo. -40 deg C really is the same as -40 deg F.)

Now we convert 140 deg C to deg F using the formula we just derived.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(140) + 32

F = 252 + 32

F = 284

140 deg C = 284 deg F

Now we rewrite the compound inequality with Fahrenheit temperatures.

-40 < t < 284

Slater begins saving for college tuition. He invests $1000 in an account that pays 2.5% simple interest. How many years before h

Brrunno [24]

The formula is Interest = principle times rate times time in years.
I=prt

p=1000
r= 0.025
t=x

To find the amount of interest that is earned in a specific time frame, subtract the final amount of money by the principal. 1500-1000=500.

500 = 1000(0.025)x
500 = 25x
x= 20 years

That's a funky problem... :/ I mean it would depend on how much she earns weekly. If she were working 40 hours each week and earning 10$ an hour then yes, she would have enough. Even is she were per say a student on a part time working 30 hours and earning 8$ per hour, she would still have enough.

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if $x \propto y$ and $x \propto z$

then the equation is in the form of:

$x = kyz$ , where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

$x=k(yz)$ ......[1]

Solve for k;

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

$8=k(4 \cdot 9)$

⇒ $8 = 36k$

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

$\frac{8}{3}=k$

Simplify:

$k = \frac{2}{9}$

⇒ $x = \frac{2}{9}yz$

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

$16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z$

⇒ $16 = \frac{12}{9}z$

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

$144 = 12z$

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

or

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

Find the surface area of the regular pyramid shown in the accompanying diagram. If necessary, express your answer in simplest ra

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The area of the pyramid is 360 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base Edge, a = 10

Height, h = 12

Required

Determine the surface area

The surface area of a regular pyramid is calculated as thus;

$A = a^2 + 2a\sqrt{\frac{a^2}{4} + h^2}$

Substitute values for a and h

$A = 10^2 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{\frac{10^2}{4} + 12^2}$

Evaluate all squares

$A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{\frac{100}{4} + 144}$

$A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{25 + 144}$

$A = 100 + 2 * 10 * \sqrt{169}$

Take positive square root of 169

$A = 100 + 2 * 10 * 13$

$A = 100 + 260$

$A = 360$

<em>Hence, the area of the pyramid is 360 unit²</em>
