Factor the quadratic trinomial x²- 9x+18
(x + ) (x+ )​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(x - 6)(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 9x + 18

consider the factors of the constant term (+ 18) which sum to give the coefficient if the x- term (- 9 )

the factors are - 6 and - 3 , since

- 6 × - 3 = + 18 and - 6 - 3 = - 9 , then

x² - 9x + 18 = (x - 6)(x - 3) ← in factored form

Answer 2

Answer:

(x - 3)(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

x²- 9x+18

= x^2 - 6x - 3x + 18

= x(x - 6) - 3(x - 6)

= (x - 3)(x - 6).

You plan on making a $235.15 monthly deposit into an account that pays 3.2% interest, compounded monthly, for 20 years. at the end of this period, you plan on withdrawing regular monthly payments. determine the amount that you can withdraw each month for 10 years, if you plan on not having anything in the account at the end of the 10 year period and no future deposits are made to the account. a. $769.27 b. $767.23 c. $78,910.41 d. $79,120.84

Answers

Based on the calculation below, the amount that can be withdrawn each month for 10 years is a. $769.27.

Calculation of monthly withdraw

First, we calculate the future value (FV) of the amount after 20 years using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = A * (((1 + r)^n – 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount after 20 years =?

A = Monthly deposit = $235.15

r = Monthly interest rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.00266666666666667

n = number of months = 20 * 12 = 240

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $235.15 * (((1 + 0.00266666666666667)^240 – 1) / 0.00266666666666667) = $78,910.41

The amount planned to be withdrawn on monthly basis can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:

P = PV / ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

P = Monthly withdrawal or payment = ?

PV = Present value = FV calculated above = $78,910.41

r = Monthly interest rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.00266666666666667

n = number of months = 10 * 12 = 120

Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:

P = $78,910.41PV / ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.00266666666666667))^120) / 0.00266666666666667) = $769.27

Therefore, the amount that can be withdrawn each month for 10 years is $769.27.

1. As shown in the diagram below, the radius of a cone is 2.5 cm and its
slant height is 6.5 cm. How many cubic centimeters are in the volume of
the cone?
6.5

Answers

The number of cubic centimeters that are in the volume of the cone is 12.5π cm³ OR 39.27 cm³

Calculating the volume of a cone

From the question, we are to determine the volume of the cone

The volume of a cone can be calculated by using the formula,

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Where V is the volume

r is the radius

and h is the height

From the given information,

radius, r = 2.5 cm

slant height, l = 6.5 cm

First, we will determine the height of the cone

By Pythagoras' theorem

[tex]l^{2} = r^{2} + h^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]l[/tex] is the slant height

r is the radius

and h is the height of the cone

Then, we can write that

[tex]6.5^{2} = 2.5^{2} + h^{2}[/tex]

[tex]42.25 = 6.25 + h^{2}[/tex]

[tex]h^{2}=42.25 - 6.25[/tex]

[tex]h^{2} =36[/tex]

[tex]h = \sqrt{36}[/tex]

∴ h = 6 cm

Now, putting the parameters into the equation for the determining the volume of a cone, we get

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times 2.5^{2} \times 6[/tex]

[tex]V = \pi \times 6.25\times 2[/tex]

[tex]V = 12.5 \pi[/tex] cm³ OR 39.27 cm³

Hence, the number of cubic centimeters that are in the volume of the cone is 12.5π cm³ OR 39.27 cm³

Suppose a cylinder that holds 3 L of liquid must be created. Determine the radius and height of the cylinder that will minimize the amount of material used in its construction.(Note: 1 L=1,000 cm^3)

Answers

The radius and the height of the dimension that will minimize the amount of material used in the construction are [tex]\mathbf{r = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} }[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{h = \dfrac{3000}{\pi ({\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} )^{2/3}}}[/tex] respectively.

How to find the dimension that minimizes a cylinder?

The dimension that minimizes the surface area of a cylinder can be determined by:

Drawing the picture of the problem, Write down & identify optimization as well as the constraint equations;Use the derivative of the optimization equation to find the dimensions.

Given that:

1 L = 1000 cm³3 L = 3000 cm³

The area of the cylinder = (2 πr)h + 2(πr²)

A = 2πrh + 2πr²

The volume of the cylinder

V = πr²h

Let's identify the constraint equation and Optimization equation:

To minimize the surface area of the can, we have:

Area equation = Optimization equation

The constraint equation is the equation that limits us:

Volume equation = constraint equation

So, Let's solve for h in our volume equation, we have:

3000 = πr² h

h = 3000/πr²

Now, from the Area equation

[tex]\mathbf{A = 2 \pi r(\dfrac{3000}{\pi r^2}) + 2\pi r^2}[/tex]

Taking the derivate and setting it to zero, we have;

Derivative:


[tex]\mathbf{A = \dfrac{6000}{ r}+ 2\pi r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = 6000 r^{-1} + 2\pi r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = -6000 r^{-2} + 4\pi r}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = 4\pi r-\dfrac{6000}{ r^{2} }}[/tex]

Setting it to zero, we  have:

[tex]\mathbf{0=\dfrac{ 4 \pi r^3 - 6000}{r^2}}[/tex]

Factor out 4

0 = 4(πr³ - 1500)

1500 = πr³

r³ = 1500/π

[tex]\mathbf{r = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} }[/tex]

The above is the radius that minimizes the surface area of the cylinder;

From [tex]\mathbf{h = \dfrac{3000}{\pi r^2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \dfrac{3000}{\pi ( \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} )^2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \dfrac{3000}{\pi ({\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} )^{2/3}}}[/tex]

Thus, the radius and height that minimize the amount of material to be used in its construction are [tex]\mathbf{r = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} }[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{h = \dfrac{3000}{\pi ({\dfrac{1500}{\pi}} )^{2/3}}}[/tex] respectively.

Answer:  40 cubic cm

=====================================================

Explanation:

The triangular face has area of base*height/2 = 4*10/2 = 40/2 = 20 square cm.

Multiply this prism base area by the depth of the prism to get 20*2 = 40 cubic cm.

It might help to place the triangular prism so the triangular face is along the ground, so you can think of that face as the floor of this triangular room. The volume of this room is equal to the floor area times the height of the room.

volume of the room = (floor area)*(height of the room)

volume of the prism = (base area)*(height of the prism)

For any prism, the base faces are always parallel and congruent to each other.

Does anybody know this? I got told it was 828.8 by someone and it was wrong.Find the surface area of the square pyranid

Answers

Answer:

  800 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of a square-base pyramid is given by the formula ...

  A = s(s +2h) . . . . . . where s is the side length, h is the face slant height

In this problem, we need to find the slant height of a face in order to use this formula.

__

slant height

The distance from the middle of one edge of the base to the peak of the pyramid is the slant height of a face of the pyramid. It is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are the pyramid height, and half the width of the base. For this pyramid, that is a right triangle with legs 15 and 8.

The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the hypotenuse of that triangle:

  c² = a² +b² . . . . square of hypotenuse = sum of squares of legs

  c² = 15² +8² = 225 +64 = 289

  c = √289 = 17

The slant height of a face of the pyramid is 17 ft.

total area

The area formula tells us the total surface area is ...

  A = s(s +2h)

  A = (16 ft)(16 ft + 2×17 ft) = (16 ft)(50 ft)

  A = 800 ft²

The total surface area is 800 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of dependent events. When events are dependent, you have to multiply the probability of each event that happens after each other. Probability is desired outcome over all possible outcomes. For the milk chocolate, there are 5 pieces we can pick out of 16, so it's 5/16. Next, the probability of dark chocolate is 3/15 (There is one less piece of chocolate overall now). For the white chocolate, the possibility is 8/14. So now we have to multiply:

A sequence is defined recursively by the formula f(n 1) = –2f(n). the first term of the sequence is –1.5. what is the next term in the sequence? –3.5 –3 0.5 3

Answers

Given that the first term of the sequence is –1.5, the next term of the sequence would be 3

How to determine the next term?

The recursive function is given as:

f(n + 1) = -2f(n)

Substitute 1 for n

f(1 + 1) = -2f(1)

Evaluate

f(2) = -2f(1)

Given that the first term is -1.5, the equation becomes

f(2) = -2 * -1.5

Evaluate

f(2) = 3

Hence, the next term of the sequence is 3

Read the passage.Ocean NoiseWhen we think about the pollution of our oceans, many of us think of oil spills that dirty the waters and harm a variety of ocean life. Or, we might think of people in boats who litter the waters with their trash. After all, how many times in the news do we hear about ships that leak dangerous chemicals into the water? What we may not realize, though, is that there is another danger that is just as harmful to ocean life as any chemical or other dangerous material: ocean noise.Many of us think of the oceans as silent places. On the contrary, they are filled with a variety of sounds. On any given day, one might hear the calls of dolphins as they swim through the waters. Whales use sounds to keep track of each other. Sea lions talk to each other to find food. Even the tiniest of shrimp make a snapping sound. There are also sounds caused by wind or rain upon the waters. Sound also plays an important role in the daily life of various ocean animals, many of which depend upon their sharp sound detection skills to survive. With increased activities by people on many of the oceans waters, the noise has increased so much that it is beginning to cause damage to the oceans as well as to the animals that live in them.Ocean noise is the term used to describe the human-made noise occurring at increasing rates in the ocean. The noise comes from many different sources: large ships, small boats with motors, and jet skis, among others. There are also underwater exploration activities such as mining, as well as radar activities of ships. One of the most harmful types of ocean noise occurs with offshore oil drilling and seismic oil explorations. Air guns are instruments that are used to determine the location of oil and natural gas beneath the sea floor. They make a sound that can damage the hearing of ocean animals.We know that sound travels faster in water than it does in air. This means that sounds in the oceans can travel for many, many miles in a short period of time. Unfortunately, sounds made by people are much louder than sounds made by ocean animals.What this means is that sounds caused by noisy engines or radar equipment used by ships can upset the everyday activities of the creatures that live in the ocean. For instance, humpback whales use songs to talk to each other. Scientists have discovered that the whales system of talking can be disturbed by loud noises. This makes it harder for the whales to find each other. The stranding of whales and dolphins has been found to increase immediately after naval sonar maneuvers. Sea lions are another type of animal that depends on sounds to communicate with other sea lions. Ocean noise can make it difficult for them to find food. Ocean noise can disturb migration routes of whales and other animals that travel to different places.However, scientists and other researchers are working hard to find a solution to this threat to marine life. Since 2003, the use of low-frequency active (LFA) sonar equipment by the United States Navy has been tightly limited because its effects have been shown to cause harm to many ocean animals. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has released a plan to reduce ocean noise that will work better than past attempts to reduce the noise.Other people are helping as well. Some fishing companies use special equipment that makes a pinging sound to keep certain kinds of ocean life from getting caught in its fishing nets. The National Park Service completed a study that tracked tour cruise ships and made an effort to reduce the number of tours. They also tried to increase the quiet time for humpback whales by scheduling tours farther apart.Local conservation groups are also asking people to be more careful about using jet skis, motorboats, and other equipment that might disturb areas where ocean life is particularly fragile. Also, closer attention is being paid to where ships are traveling to make sure that, whenever possible, they stay away from waters where large numbers of ocean animals live.With the increase in ocean noise, measures must be taken to control or, at the very least, curb its growth.What argument does the author make in "Ocean Noise"?Marine animals contribute more to noise pollution in the ocean than humans.A reduction in noise pollution will do little to help marine life.Progress in noise reduction has been stalled by the use of sonar equipment.People must take immediate action to reduce ocean noise pollution to help marine life.
