A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism. Let x = the height of the prism x – 9 =

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

$A=L*W$

$A\leq 27\ m^{2}$

so

$L*W\leq 27$ -------> inequality A

$W=x-9$ ------> equation B

$L=W+6$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

$L=(x-9)+6$

$L=x-3$ ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

$(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27$ -------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval----------> $[0,12]$

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be $9$ meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> $(9,12]$

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$

A store is selling 5 cans of tomato sauce for $4.50. What is the unit price?

NARA [144]

Hi there! The answer is $0.90

To find the price per unit we must divide the total amount of money by the amount of units sold. So we get the following:
$4.50 / 5 = $0.90

Let $f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5$. Without using long division (which would be horribly nasty!), find the remainder when

valentina_108 [34]

Solution:

$f(x) = x^{10}-8x^8-8x^3+12x^2-5x-5$

We have to find the remainder when f(x) is divided by $x^2-1.$

x²-1=0

x= $\pm1$

$f(1)=1^{10}-8(1)^8-8(1)^3+12(1)^2-5(1)-5=1-8-8+12-5-5=1-16+12-10=13-26=-13\\\\f(-1)=(-1)^{10}-8(-1)^8-8(-1)^3+12(-1)^2-5(-1)-5=1-8+8+12+5-5=1+12=13$

So, remainder is 13 and -13.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: The first equation should be multiplied by 9 and the second equation by −4, to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation (1) 5x − 4y = 28

Equation (2) 3x - 9y = 30

to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, we should multiply equation (1) by 9 and equation (2) by -4 such that

9(5x − 4y) =9 (28)⇒45x-36y=252

-4(3x - 9y) = -4(30)⇒ -12x+36y= -120

Now adding both equations, y-term eliminated and we get, 45x-12x=132

⇒33x=132⇒x=4.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option A , should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 $n=25$

Standard deviation 1 $\sigma_1=30$

Sample 2 $n=16$

Standard deviation 2 $\sigma_2=20$

Level of confidence $\alpha=95\%=>0.95$

Generally The Hypothesis are given as

$H_0:\sigma_1^2=\sigma_1^2$

$H_1:\sigma_1^2\neq \sigma_1^2$

Generally the equation for test Statistics is mathematically given by

$T=\frac{\sigma_1^2}{\sigma_2^2}$

$T=\frac{30^2}{20^2}$

$T=2.25$

Therefore

Critical Value

$X=(\alpha,df_1)$

$X'=(\alpha,df_2)$

Where

$df=n-1$

Therefore

$X=(0.95,24)$

$X'=(0.95,15)$

From Table

$T_{Critical}=T_x,T_{x'}$

$T_{Critical}=0.41,2.701$

Therefore

$T_x$

Hence,We fail to reject the Null Hypothesis $H_0$

Option A , should not be rejected
