2. The larger of two numbers is 3 less than twice the smaller number. If their sum is 27, find each number?

Answers

Answer 1

The numbers represented by the statement are 17 and 10

How to determine the numbers

Represent the larger number with x and the smaller number with y

So, we have the following representation from the question

x = 2y - 3

x + y = 27

Substitute x = 2y - 3 in the equation x + y = 27

So, we have the following representation

2y - 3 + y = 27

Evaluate the like terms

3y = 30

Divide both sides by 3

y = 10

Recall that

x = 2y - 3

So, we have

x = 2 * 10 - 3

Evaluate

x = 17

Hence, the numbers are 17 and 10

Find the weight of a 176-cm male to the nearest kg whose BSA = 2.3.

Answers

The weight of the male that has a body surface area of 2.3 would be = 108kg

What is Body Surface Area (BSA)?

The body surface area (BSA) is defined as the parameter that can be used to estimate the surface area of a person's body based on body weight and height.

The formula for BSA = √w×h/3600

The weight of the male = X

The height of the male = 176cm

The length of a rectangle is 4 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 32 square inches, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

width = 4in

length = 8in

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LxW = 32

L = W + 4

W(W+4) = 32

W² + 4W - 32 = 0

(W + 8)(W - 4) = 0

W ≠ -8 (dimensions cannot be negative)

W = 4in

L = W+4 = 4+4 = 8in

Part J
To practice writing the equations of horizontal parabolas, write the equations of these two parabolas in vertex form:

focus at (4, 3), and directrix x = 2
focus at (2, -1), and directrix x = 8

Answers

Answer:

A.  x = 3

B.  A = (3, 2)

C.  V = (-1, 2)

D.  Left

E.  See below.

F.  p = -4

[tex]\textsf{G.} \quad x=-\dfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2-1[/tex]

H.  See attachment.

[tex]\textsf{J.} \quad x=\dfrac{1}{4}(y-3)^2+3[/tex]

     [tex]x=-\dfrac{1}{12}(y+1)^2+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given focus of the parabola is F (-5, 2).

The equation for a vertical line is x = a.

Therefore, a vertical line that is 8 units to the right of the focus is:

[tex]\implies x=-5+8=3[/tex]

Therefore:

Directrix:  x = 3

Part B

A line that is perpendicular to the directrix is a horizontal line.

The equation for a horizontal line is y = a.

As the horizontal line passes through the focus:

Axis of symmetry:  y = 2

The point of intersection, A, of the axis of symmetry and the directrix is:

(3, 2)

Part C

The vertex of the parabola is the point that is halfway between the focus and the directrix.

Therefore:

Vertex = (-1, 2)

Part D

The parabola will open sideways as the axis of symmetry is horizontal.

As a parabola never touches its directrix, this parabola will open to the left.

Part E

The absolute value of p is the distance between the vertex and the focus, and the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

For a sideways parabola, if p > 0 the parabola opens to the right, and if p < 0 the parabola opens to the left.

Part F

Since the focus and directrix are 8 units apart, and the parabola opens to the left:

p = -4

Part G

Vertex form of a sideways parabola:

[tex]\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{4p}(y-k)^2+h}[/tex]

Given:

Vertex = (-1, 2) ⇒ h = -1, k = 2p = -4

Substitute the values into the formula:

[tex]\implies x=-\dfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2-1[/tex]

Part H

See attachment.

Part I

Rearrange the equation of the parabola shown in the attachment:

       [tex]y^2+16x-4y=-20[/tex]

[tex]\implies 16x=-y^2+4y-20[/tex]

[tex]\implies 16x=-(y^2-4y+4)-16[/tex]

[tex]\implies 16x=-(y-2)^2-16[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=-\dfrac{1}{16}(y-2)^2-1[/tex]

This matches the equation in vertex form in part G.

Part J

Given:

Focus = (4, 3)Directrix:   x = 2

Therefore:

Vertex = ((4+2)/2, 3) = (3, 3)Parabola opens to the right, so p > 0.p = |4 - 3| = 1

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with the given parameters is:

[tex]\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{4}(y-3)^2+3}[/tex]

Given:

Focus = (2, -1)Directrix:   x = 8

Therefore:

Vertex = ((8+2)/2, -1) = (5, -1)Parabola opens to the left, so p < 0.p = -|2 - 5| = -3

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with the given parameters is:

[tex]\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{12}(y+1)^2+5}[/tex]

A person standing close to the edge on top of a 72-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = − 16 t^2 + 84 t + 72 models the ball's height above the ground, h , in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

a) What is the maximum height of the ball? ____________ feet

b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground? ____________ seconds

Answers

a) The ball reaches a maximum height of 182.25 feet.

b) The ball has a travel time of 6 seconds.

How to find the main features of a free fall case by analyzing quadratic equations

In this case we find a kind of uniform accelerated motion known as free fall, in which a particle is accelerated uniformly by gravity and any effect of other forces are neglected. The height of the ball in terms of time is described by a quadratic equation, whose definition is shown below:

h(t) = h' + v' · t + 0.5 · g · t²

Where:

h' - Initial height, in feet.v' - Initial velocity, in feet per second.t - Time, in seconds.g - Gravitational acceleration, in feet per square second.

First, write the complete the equation of the height of the ball:

h(t) = - 16 · t² + 84 · t + 72

a) Second, clear the expression on one side and use the discriminant of the quadratic formula:

- 16 · t² + 84 · t + [72 - h(t)] = 0

84² - 4 · (- 16) · [72 - h(t)] = 0

7056 + 64 · [72 - h(t)] = 0

7056 + 4608 - 64 · h(t) = 0

11664 - 64 · h(t) = 0

h(t) = 729 / 4 ft

h(t) = 182.25 ft

The maximum height of the ball is 182.25 feet.

b) Third, use the quadratic formula to determine the roots of the quadratic equation:

t = - 84 / [2 · (- 16)] ± [1 / [2 · (- 16)]] · √[84² -  4 · (- 16) · 72]

t = 2.625 ± (1 / 32) · 108

t₁ = 6 s and t₂ = -0.75 s

The travel time of the ball is 6 seconds.

D) 4√ √/30 ft

Answers

The altitude of the balloon found using Pythagorean Theorem is 40·√3 feet, the best correct option is option C)

C) 40·√3 ft

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse side of a right triangle is the same as the sum of the square of each of the two legs of the right triangle.

15) The parameters in the question includes;

Horizontal distance of the flag pole from the point the rope is staked down = 40 feet

Length of the rope to which the balloon is secured = 80 feet

Location of the balloon = directly above the flag pole

Therefore, the altitude of the balloon, the length of the rope, and the horizontal distance from the flag pole from the point the rope is staked form a right triangle, with the length of the rope representing the hypotenuse side.

Let h represent the altitude of the flag pole, using Pythagorean Theorem, we get;

80² = 40² + h²

Therefore; h² = 80² - 40² = 4800

The altitude of the balloon, h = √(4800) = 40·√3

The altitude of the balloon, h is 40√3 feet

A decimal is a number with a whole and a fractional component. Decimal numbers, which are in between integers, are used to express the numerical value of full and partially whole amounts.

Decimals can be classified as non-recurring (as in not repeating or ending), recurring (as in repeating or not terminating), and decimal fractions (a.k.a. converting a decimal into a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten).

The whole number part of the decimal number is the part that lies strictly to the left of the decimal point, and the place value of each digit in the whole number part is given .

The fractional part of the decimal number is the part that lies strictly to the right of the decimal point.

$481.35
$495.50
$501.35

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  $479.50

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know how much the friend with the smaller bedroom will pay for rent if they split the $975 cost based on the square footage of each bedroom. The two bedrooms in the 1225 square foot property are 130 and 150 square feet.

Split

Apparently, the cost of the non-bedroom area is to be split evenly. That common area is ...

  1225 ft² -(150 +130) ft² = 945 ft²

Then the proportion due from the occupant of the smaller bedroom is ...

  (945/2 +130)/1225 = 241/490 ≈ 0.49184

Rent

That fraction of the rent is ...

  0.49184 · $975 = $479.54

The nearest answer choice is $479.50.

__

Additional comment

If we were to assume the split is based only on bedroom size, then the rent paid for the 130 ft² space would be (13/28)($975) ≈ $452.68. This would be equivalent to splitting the rent for the common area in the same proportion as for the bedrooms.

We note that half the rent is $487.50, a number less than either of the last two answer choices. Those can be rejected for that reason. (The smaller bedroom is expected to pay less than half of the rent.)
