(a)
Formulate an algebraic expression to model the heights reached by balloons 2, 3
(b)
Find the heights reached by balloons 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Answers

Answer 1

Algebraic expression for Height of Balloon 2 = 7x and Height of Balloon 3 = x/2.

Heights reached by balloons 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be 54.73, 383.11, 27.36, 84.73 respectively.

We have the following given information as per the question

Balloon 1 reaches x m.

Balloon 2 reaches a height of 7 times balloon 1

∴ Balloon 2 reaches 7x m.

Balloon 3 reaches a height of half that of balloon 1.

∴ Balloon 3 reaches [tex] \frac{x}{2} [/tex] m.

Balloon 4 reaches a height of 30 meters more than balloon 1.

∴ Balloon 4 reaches ( x + 30 ) m.

Now As given The total height reached by all the balloons was 550 meters.

∴ Height of Balloon 1 + Height of Balloon 2 + Height of Balloon 3 + Height of Balloon 4 = 550 meter

∴ x + 7x + [tex] \frac{x}{2} [/tex] + (x + 30 ) =550

∴ 9.5x + 30 = 550

∴ 9.5x = 550 - 30

∴ 9.5x = 520

∴ x = 520/9.5

∴ x = 54.73 meter

(a) Algebraic expression to model the heights reached by balloons 2, 3 will be

Height of Balloon 2 = 7x = 7(54.73) = 383.11 meter

Height of Balloon 3 = x/2 = 54.73 / 2 = 27.36 meter

(b) The heights reached by balloons 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be as follows

Height of Balloon 1 = x = 54.73 meter.

Height of Balloon 2 = 7x = 7(54.73) = 383.11 meter

Height of Balloon 3 = x/2 = 54.73 / 2 = 27.36 meter

Height of Balloon 4 = x + 30 = 54.73 + 30 = 84.73 meter

Describe energy.

Physics defines energy as the quantity of work or capability that may be applied to a thing to make it functional. Additionally, it refers to the capacity to exert force on an object as well as energy that is neither generated nor destroyed.

96 J of energy and a 16 V potential difference

Using the following formula, the work or energy is:

Work completed equals Charge x Potential Difference.

Charge = thus work completed/potential difference

Charge equals 96/16, or 6 Coulombs.

A bag contains 7 red balls and 3 white balls. Andrew, Betsy, Cam and Doug, in that order are going to randomly pick a ball out of the bag and not replace it. The first person to draw a white ball wins $160. What is the probability that Doug will win the S160?

Answers

ANSWER

3/7 (the correct option is not there)

EXPLANATION

There are 7 red balls and 3 white balls in the bag.

To find the probability of Doug being the first to draw the white ball, we have to assume that Andrew, Betsy and Cam all draw red balls.

There are a total of 10 balls there.

After Andrew Betsy and Doug pick their balls, there will be 7 balls left, that is:

4 red balls and 3 white balls.

Ther probaility of Doug picking the white ball will therefore be the number of white balls divided by the total number of balls.

That is:

P(Doug) = 3/7

That is the probability that Doug will win the $160.

Which values are in the solution set to this inequality? 3 ⁢ x 4 < 9 and − x 6 ≥ − 3 x = 4 x = 11 x = 18 x = 12 x = 15

Answers

The value of x in the solution set is x = 4

How to determine the values in the solution set

The system of inequalities is given as

3x + 4 < 9

-x + 6 ≥ -3

The first step is to solve for x in both inequalities in the system of inequalities

So, we have

3x + 4 < 9

3x < 5

Divide by 3

x < 5/3

Also, we  have

-x + 6 ≥ -3

-x ≥ -9

Divide by -1

x ≤ 9

So, we have

x < 5/3 and x ≤ 9

x ≤ 9 is a superset of x < 5/3

So, we have

x ≤ 9

This means that the values of x do not exceed 9

An example of this value (from the options) is 4

The possible translations are given as follows:

In the context of the graph of this problem, the parent function is the square root of x, defined as follows:

y = sqrt(x)

The domain of this function, as is the domain of the graph, is for non-negative values of x, hence:

x ≥ 0.

From the graph, the function was translated down a units, keeping the domain but changing the range, hence the translation has the following format:

Step-by-step explanation:

These involve finding the area of a rectangular prism.

1.)

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

A = 2(3.25 x 3.5) + 2(3.5 x 2) + 2(2 x 3.25)

A = 2(11.375) + 2(7) + 2(6.5)

A = 22.75 + 14 + 13

A = 49.75

2.)

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

A = 2(4.5 x 8.5) + 2(8.5 x 3) + 2(3 x 4.5)

A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost C (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made. If x cars are made, then the unit cost is given by the function C(x)=0.4x^2 - 104x + 13,586. How many cars must be made to minimize the unit cost? Do not round the answer

Answers

Answer:

  130 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the value of x (the number of cars made) that minimizes the unit cost, given by C(x) = 0.4x² -104x +13586.

Vertex

The minimum cost will be found at the vertex of this quadratic cost function. For quadratic ax²+bx+c, the vertex is found at x=-b/(2a).

The cost function has a=0.4 and b=-104, so the number of cars that must be made to minimize the unit cost is ...

  x = -b/(2a) = -(-104)/(2(0.4)) = 104/0.8

  x = 130

130 cars must be made to minimize the unit cost.

A graphing calculator can plot the cost function and show you the coordinates of the minimum cost. The attachment shows the minimum cost per car is $6826 when 130 cars are made.

The value of x is 8 cm.

What is the area of a rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is the space occupied by the rectangle inside its perimeter. A rectangle's area is calculated by multiplying its length by its width.

Given:

Length of rectangle = 20 cm

Width of rectangle= x cm

Area of rectangle = length × width

                             = 20x cm²

The dimensions of the smaller rectangle cut out of it are,

Length = 16cm

Width = x-3

Area of the smaller rectangle = length × width

                                                 = 16(x - 3) cm²

The area of the shaded portion will be equal to the difference between both areas which is given as 80 square centimeters.

20x - 16(x-3) = 80

Now, we need to solve this equation to obtain the value of x.

20x - 16x + 48 = 80

4x = 80 - 48

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is 8 cm.

Miss Jones mowed 1/4 of her lawn her son mowed 2/5 of it. who mowed most of the lawn? how much of the lawn still needs to be mowed

Answers

Answer:

The son mowed most of the lawn

7/20 of the lawn still needs to be mowed

Explanations:

Size of the lawn mowed by Miss Jones = 1/4

Size of the lawn mowed by her son = 2/5

To know who mowed the most lawn, find the LCM of the denominators

The LCM of 4and 5 = 20

Make the denominators of both fractions to be 20

Size of the lawn mowed by Miss Jones = 1/4 x 5/5 = 5/20

Size of the lawn mowed by her son = 2/5 x 4/4 = 8/20

Since 8/20 > 5/20, Miss Jone's son mowed more part of the lawn than Miss Jone

Define simple interest.

Simple interest is a quick and simple formula for figuring out how much interest will be charged on a loan. The daily interest rate, the principle, and the number of days between payments are multiplied to calculate simple interest. Simple Interest (S.I.) is a way for figuring out how much interest will accrue on a specific principal sum of money at a certain rate of interest. Because simple interest keeps total interest payments lower than compound interest, it is better for borrowers. Simple interest is used in the monthly amortization of auto loans and retailer instalment loans. As the loan balance decreases with each monthly payment, so does the interest.

Given Data

Principal = $939

Time = 12 months
