Two candles of equal length are lit simultaneously at 12:00 pm. Candle 1 has 6 hours of burn time before it completely melts away. Candle 2 has 9 hours of burn time before completely melting away. When will Candle #2 have 3 times as much wax remaining as Candle #1?(You must be within 1 minute to be considered correct)

Answers

Answer 1

By finding the equations for the length of the candles as a function of time, we will see that the answer is 3.27 hours.

When will Candle2 have 3 times as much wax remaining as Candle1?

Here we assume that:

Both candles have the same original length L, and both decrease a constant rate.

Candle 1 is consumed in 6 hours, so it is consumed at a rate of:

L/6h.

This means that after a time t in hours, the length of candle 1 is:

L₁(t) = L - (L/6h)*t

For candle 2, the rate is:

L/9h

And the function for the length of candle 2 is:

L₂(t) = L - (L/9h)*t

Now we want to find the value of t such that:

L₂(t) = 3*L₁(t)

So we just solve:

L - (L/9h)*t = 3*(L - (L/6h)*t)

L - (L/9h)*t = 3L - (L/2h)*t

(L/2h)*t -  (L/9h)*t = 3L - L = 2L

(5.5L/9h)*t = 2L

t = 2*(9h/5.5) = 3.27 h

After 3.27 hours, candle 2 will have 3 times the wax that candle 1 has.

now... the result could have been 3 = 3, or hmmm something like so, which is a bit of a flag hmmm let's take a closer look at the 2nd equation

let's notice, the 2nd equation is really the 1st one in disguise, so both equations are exactly equal.  So what's the solution to that?  well, there isn't one solution per se, if we were to graph both lines, it'll be the graph on one line pancaked on top of the other, and where they touch each other is the solution, well, hell they touch each other everywhere, and since both lines go to infinity, then they have infinitely many solutions.

Please help me do this question mathematics expert

Answer:

[tex]\textsf{i)} \quad \text{T} &=2 \pi r^2 + \dfrac{26}{r}[/tex]

ii)  radius = 1.27 cm (3 sf)

   height = 2.55 cm (3 sf)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Volume of a cylinder}=\pi r^2 h \quad \text{(where r is radius and h is height)}[/tex]

Given volume = 13 cm³, rewrite the equation making h the subject:

[tex]\implies 13=\pi r^2 h[/tex]

[tex]\implies h=\dfrac{13}{\pi r^2}[/tex]

Substitute found expression for h into the Surface Area equation to find the expression for the total surface area, T:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Surface Area of a cylinder} & =2 \pi r^2 + 2 \pi r h\\\implies \text{Surface Area} & =2 \pi r^2 + 2 \pi r \left(\dfrac{13}{\pi r^2}\right)\\& =2 \pi r^2 + \dfrac{26 \pi r}{\pi r^2}\\ \implies \text{T} &=2 \pi r^2 + \dfrac{26}{r}\end{aligned}[/tex]

To find the radius of the minimum surface area, differentiate T with respect to r:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{T}& =2 \pi r^2 +26r^{-1}\\\implies \dfrac{dT}{dr} & =(2)2 \pi r^{(2-1)}+(-1)26r^{(-1-1)}\\ & =4 \pi r-26r^{-2}\\ & =4 \pi r-\dfrac{26}{r^2}\\ & = \dfrac{4 \pi r^3-26}{r^2} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Set it to zero, and solve for r:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\dfrac{dT}{dr} & = 0 \\\implies \dfrac{4 \pi r^3-26}{r^2} & = 0 \\\impliles 4 \pi r^3-26 & = 0 \\4 \pi r^3 & = 26 \\r^3 & = \dfrac{13}{2 \pi} \\r & = \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{13}{2 \pi}} \end{aligned}[/tex]

To find the height, substitute the found value of r into the equation for height (found previously):

[tex]\begin{aligned}h & =\dfrac{13}{\pi r^2} \\\implies h & =\dfrac{13}{\pi \left(\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{13}{2 \pi}}\right)^2} \\& =2.548499134\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore,

radius = 1.274249567... = 1.27 cm (3 sf)height = 2.548499134... = 2.55 cm (3 sf)

Which of the following equations defines a line that passes through the points begin ordered pair negative 2 comma 7 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 6 comma negative 9 end ordered pair?

Answers

The linear equation that passes through points (-2,7) and (6,-9) is given by:

y = -2x + 3

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line passes through points (-2,7) and (6,-9), hence the slope is given by:

m = (-9 - 7)/(6 - (-2)) = -2.

Hence, since when x = -2, y = 7, when x = 0, y = 7 - 2 x (0 - (-2)) = 3, which means that the y-intercept is of b = 3, and the equation is given by:

y = -2x + 3.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-6,8) and has a slope of 1/2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You can get 1/2 the unknown just by looking at the givens. The slope is just given -- no need to modify it.

The y intercept is a little harder. You need the point for that.

Givens

Slope = 1/2

point = (-6,8)

Formula

y = mx + b

Solution

m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b              To find b,

x = -6y = 8

8 = 1/2(-6) + b

8 = -3 + b                 Add 3 to both sides

8 + 3 = b

b = 11

Answer

y = 1/2x + 11

Answer:

y = 1/2x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/2x +b

We can use the point on the line to find b

8 = 1/2(-6) +b

8 = -3+b

Add 3 to each side

8+3 =-3+3 b

11 = b

y = 1/2x+11

Simplify:

[tex]x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0[/tex]

a = 1, b = -5, c = -14

b. one x-int at 3

this means that the equation will factor to:

FOIL:

[tex]x^2 - 3x - 3x +9 = 0[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0[/tex]

a = 1, b = -6, c = 9

c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0

This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down

There are many equations for this, but one could be:

[tex]-x^2-x-3=0[/tex]

a = -1, b = -1, c = -3

d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int

We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1

The equation will factor to:

[tex](x+1)(x-1)=0[/tex]

This is a perfect square

FOIL:

[tex]x^2-1=0[/tex]

a = 1, b = 0, c = -1

e. x-int at [tex]\sqrt{3} , -\sqrt{3}[/tex]

our equation will factor to:

What is quadratic formula?

Quadratic formula is the formula which is used to find the roots of a quadratic equation.The standard form of the quadratic equation is,

ax²+bx+c=0

For the above equation, the quadratic formula can be given as,

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

The equation of variable x is given as,

h(x) = 7x²-45x + 12,

The value of h(x) = 18 has to be found out. Put 18 on the place of h(x) in the above equation.

18 = 7x²-45x + 12

0= 7x²-45x + 12-18

0=7x²-45x -6

Find the roots of the equation using the quadratic formula:

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\dfrac{-(-45)\pm\sqrt{(-45)^2-4(7)(-6)}}{2(-6)}\\x=6.56,-0.13[/tex]

Describe the relationship between the columns of your table.

Answers

For the rectangle to have a perimeter of 36 units, the sum of the length and the width must equal 18 units

How to create the table?

The given parameter is:

Perimeter = 36 units

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

So, we have;

36 = 2 * (Length + Width)

Divide both sides by 2

Length + Width = 18

This means that for the rectangle to have a perimeter of 36 units, the sum of the length and the width must equal 18 units
