Answers

Answer 1

Complete question :

Insulated concrete forms​ (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 60​% less than in a similar​ wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10​% more expensive to construct than a​ wood-framed home. For a typical 1,800 ftsquared2 home costing ​$130 ftsquared2 to construct in upstate New York and costing ​$260 per month to heat and​ cool, how many months does it take for a 1,800 ftsquared2 ICF home to pay back its extra construction​ cost?

Answer:

150 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Wood framing Construction cost :

Cost per ft² = $130

Total cost for 1800 ft² :

1800 * $130 = $234,000

Heating and cooling cost = $260

An ICF home:

Construction cost will be approximately 10% more expensive :

Hence, total cost of ICF = (1.1) * 234000 = $257,400

Extra cost on construction :

$257,400 - $234000 = $23,400

Heating and cooling cost ; 60% less expensive = (1 - 0.6) * $260 = $104

Saving in heating and cooling = $260 - $104 = $156 monthly

Number of months it takes to pay extra cost on construction :

Extra cost on construction / saving in heating & cooling

= $23,400 / $156

= 150 months

Half a number decrease by twelve

Answers

Hi!

So, to "half" a number, you multiply it by 1/2 or 0.5

"A number" is a number which we don't know the value of, so we could use a variable. Any letter you want is fine, but let's use x

"Decrease by 12" This simply means to subtract 12, so - 12

So, now we have:

Answers

Answer:

1. The mistake was the sign that was put negative instead of positive.

2. y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

​In the first response box, enter the number of the step where the mistake is made.

​Step:

The mistake is on step 1: This is the distributive property, however it was distrubuted wrong since the signs were used wrong.

-4(6-y)+4=-4 does not equal  -24-4y+4=-4

The reason is because -4 x -y is not equal to -4y because negative x negative = positive. So, it's equal to +4y.

In the second response box, enter the correct solution to the problem.​

Problem: -4(6-y)+4=-4

Step 1: -24 + 4y + 4 = -4 (Distributive Property Of Equality)

Step 2: -20 + 4y = -4 (Combine Like Terms)

Step 3: 4y = 16 (Addition Property Of Equality)

Step 4: y = 4 (Division Property Of Equality)

Similar triangles are those triangles whose corresponding sides are in the same ratio. In the two similar triangles, the value of x is 7.5 units.

What are similar triangles?

Similar triangles are those triangles whose corresponding sides are in the same ratio. And the corresponding angles measure the same. It is denoted by the ‘~’ symbol.

Given that the two of the given triangles are similar triangles. Therefore, the ratio of the sides of the triangle can be written as,

6/x = 8/10

Solving the ratio for x,

x = (6×10)/8

x = 60/8

x = 7.5 units

Hence, in the two similar triangles, the value of x is 7.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory to know when answering this question:

1. The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral (shape with four sides) is 360°

2. Similar shapes have the same angles

Point 1 tells us that ∠P+∠Q+∠S+∠R=360

a. A set of vectors that does not span R^3. After adding one more vector, the setdoes spanR3.
b. A set of vectors that are linearly dependent. After adding one more vector, theset becomes linearly independent.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the given set of vectors does not span [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3}[/tex] , it means the number of linearly independent vectors are less than 3. So by adding one or more linearly independent vectors with respect to existing vectors, we can convert the set to basis and basis always spans vector space.

eg. [tex]S= \left \{ (1,0,0)^{T},(1,2,0)^{T} \right \}[/tex] this set does not span [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3}[/tex] . Since it has only two vectors and both vectors are linearly independent, so adding one linearly independent vector with respect to the vectors of S viz. (0,0,1)^{T} can span whole [tex]\mathbb{R}^{3} [/tex].

b) It is not possible. Since if a set of vectors is linearly dependent then after adding linearly independent vectors it will also linearly dependent i.e. addition of a linearly independent vector does not effect on the set.

Answer:

3.5841 x 10^7

4.67  x 10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.74 x 10^-4 as an ordinary number

As an ordinary number, the decimal point will be moved 4 times to the left due to the negative power

Hence 1.74 x 10^-4 as an ordinary number

= 0.000174

358.41 x 10^5 in a standard form

In standard form, only one number will be before the decimal point, the number of times the decimal point is moved (to ensure that only the first digit is before the point) is added to the power of ten. Hence

358.41 x 10^5 in a standard form

= 3.5841 x 10^5+2

= 3.5841 x 10^7

4 670 000 in a standard form

As done above, only one digit will be before the decimal

4 670 000 in a standard form

= 4.67  x 10^6

Answers

Answer: Time

Explanation:

Time progresses without any control over it, so it's something that does not depend on any other factor such as distance. On the other hand, as the time value changes, the distance changes. So the distance is dependent on the time.

The horizontal axis is the x axis, and the x value is always the independent variable. The vertical y axis is the distance. The y value is always the dependent variable.

Angle Y =?

Angle Y can be obtained by using the cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos Y = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos Y = 6/15

Cos Y = 0.4

Take the inverse of Cos

Y = Cos¯¹ 0.4

Y = 66.4°

Therefore, angle XYZ is 66.4°

Sydney invested $440 in an account paying an interest rate of 5.6% compounded daily. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to the nearest year, for the value of the account to reach $640?​

Answers

Answer:

The time required to get  a total amount of $ 640.00  from compound interest on a principal of $ 440.00  at an interest rate of 5.6% per year  and compounded 365 times per year  is approximately 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principle Amount P = $440 Accrued Amount A = $640Interest rate r = 5.6% = 0.056Compounded daily n = 365

To determine:

Time period t = ?

Using the formula

[tex]A\:=\:P\left(1\:+\:\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

solving for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

substituting the values A = 640, P = 440, n = 365 and r = 0.056

t = ln(640/440) / ( 365 × [ln(1 + 0.00015342465753425/365)] )

t = 6.691

t ≈ 7  (nearest year)

Therefore, the time required to get  a total amount of $ 640.00  from compound interest on a principal of $ 440.00  at an interest rate of 5.6% per year  and compounded 365 times per year  is approximately 7 years.

How many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze

Answers

Answer:

67 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze, the following calculation must be performed:

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 10 = 20.5 / 100 = 0.20

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 30 = 34.5 / 100 = 0.34

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 60 = 55.5 / 100 = 0.55

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 67 = 60.4 / 100 = 0.60

Thus, 67 gallons of 70% antifreeze solution will be needed to achieve a 60% mix of that solution.

On a hot summer day in the state of Washington while kayaking, I saw several swimmers jump from a railroad bridge into the Snohomish River below. The swimmers stepped off the bridge, and I estimated that they hit the water 1.5 s later. (a) How high was the bridge

Answers

Answer: the bridge is 11.025 m high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Time taken to hit the water t = 1.5 sec

height of bridge = ?

lets take a look at the equation of motion;

y(t) = y₀ + (1/2)at²

with initial velocity zero and we know that acceleration due to gravidity is 9.8m/s

we substitute

y(t) = (1/2)gt² = (1/2) × 9.8 × (1.5)²

y(t) = (1/2)gt² = (1/2) × 9.8 × (1.5)²

y(1.5) = 11.025 m

Therefore, the bridge is 11.025 m high
