Fernando has two equally-sized containers of clay which he is using to build a pyramid-like structure. The finished structure will consist of four square-based, two-inch thick slabs of clay, with each slab two inches less wide than the one beneath it. Fernando has one-half of a container of clay left after forming the first two slabs. Does he have enough clay to finish the structure?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure since, the expressions for the volume left are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the length of the longest slab. Since each slab is 2 inches less than the one beneath it, we have the width of the other 3 slabs as w - 2, w - 2 - 2 = w - 4 and w - 4 - 2 = w - 6 respectively.

Since the base of each slab is a square and has thickness 2 inches, the volume of each slab from largest to smallest is thus 2w², 2(w - 2)², 2(w - 4)² and 2(w - 6)² respectively.

We have that we have half of the container of clay left after forming the first two slabs(which are the bottom-most slabs). Let V be the volume of each clay container. Since we have half left, that is V/2, we have used 2V - V/2 = 3V/2 to make the two bottom-most slabs.

So, 3V/2 = 2w² + 2(w - 2)²

= 2w² + 2(w² - 4w + 4)

= 2w² + 2w² - 8w + 8

= 4w² - 8w + 8

= 4(w² - 2w + 2)   (1)

Also we want to know if V/2 is equal to the volume of the two top-most slabs.

So, V/2 = 2(w - 4)² + 2(w - 6)²

= 2(w² - 8w + 16) + 2(w² - 12w + 36)

= 2w² - 16w + 32 + 2w² - 24w + 72

= 4w² - 40w + 104

= 4(w² - 10w + 26)

From (1) V/2 = 4(w² - 2w + 2)/3 ≠ 4(w² - 10w + 26)

Since the expressions for the remaining volume are not the same, Fernando does not have enough clay to finish the structure.

Answers

Answer:

Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r < 1, the sum of nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as;

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

a is the first term

n is the number f terms

r is the common ratio

An = -9(1-(-3)^n)/1-(-3)

Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

Hence the sum of the nth term of the series is Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

[tex] \large{ {cos}^{2} \theta + \sqrt{3} sin \theta cos \theta = 1}[/tex]
Show your work, thanks!​

Answers

Answer:

θ = 0° , 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\cos^2\theta + \sqrt{3}\sin \theta \cos \theta = 1[/tex]

Substract both the sides from 1.

[tex]=> \cos^2\theta + \sqrt{3}\sin \theta \cos \theta - 1 = 1 - 1[/tex]

[tex]=> \cos^2\theta + \sqrt{3}\sin \theta \cos \theta - 1 = 0[/tex]

Rearrange the terms in L.H.S.

[tex]=> (\cos^2 \theta - 1 )+ \sqrt{3} \sin \theta \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Replace the terms in brackets with '-sin²θ' by using the identity (sin²θ + cos²θ = 1).

[tex]=> -\sin^2 \theta + \sqrt{3} \sin \theta \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Take 'sinθ' common from the whole expression in L.H.S.

[tex]=> \sin \theta(- \sin \theta + \sqrt{3}\cos \theta) = 0[/tex]

Now solve each part separately :-

1) [tex]\sin \theta = 0[/tex]

[tex]=> \theta = \sin^{-1}0 = 0[/tex]

2) [tex]-\sin \theta + \sqrt{3} \cos \theta = 0[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 'cosθ'.

[tex]=> \frac{-\sin \theta + \sqrt{3}\cos \theta }{\cos \theta} = \frac{0}{\cos \theta}[/tex]

[tex]=> \frac{-sin \theta}{\cos \theta} + \frac{\sqrt{3} \cos \theta}{\cos \theta} = 0[/tex]

[tex]=> -\tan \theta + \sqrt{3} = 0[/tex]

Add both the sides with 'tanθ'.

[tex]=> -\tan \theta + \sqrt{3} + \tan \theta = 0 + \tan \theta[/tex]

[tex]=> \tan \theta = \sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]=> \theta = \tan^{-1}\sqrt{3} = 60[/tex]

∴ θ = 0° , 60°

Answer:

Solution given:

[tex] \large{ {cos}^{2} \theta + \sqrt{3} sin \theta cos \theta = 1}[/tex]

[tex] 1-sin^{2} \theta+\sqrt{3} sin \theta cos \theta = 1[/tex]

[tex] 1-1 +sin^{2}\theta=\sqrt{3} sin \theta cos \theta = 1[/tex]

[tex] Sin\theta(sin\theta -\sqrt{3}cos\theta)[/tex]

Either

[tex] sin\theta=\sqrt{3} cos \theta [/tex]

[tex] \sqrt{sin\theta}{cos \theta}=\sqrt{3} [/tex]

[tex] Tan \theta =\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex] Tan \theta =Tan 60,Tan(180+60),Tan (360+60)[/tex]

[tex] \theta =60°,240°,420°[/tex]

in terms of π is

[tex] \theta =⅓π,\frac{4}{3}π,[/tex]

Or

[tex] Sin\theta=1[/tex]

[tex]Sin\theta=Sin0° ,Sin180°[/tex]

In terms of π is

[tex]\theta=0π,π[/tex]

so

[tex]\theta=0π,⅓π,π,\frac{4}{3}π,[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course I'll do very simple explanation!

every time you see a straight line (nondiagonal) it measures 180°.

so if we're trying to solve for x in this case, we'll subtract 180° - 40° = 140°.

Then use the statement to solve for x

[tex]10x+50=140[/tex]

[tex]10x-50[/tex] = - 50    Subtract 50 from both sides

[tex]10x[/tex]         [tex]=[/tex]  90     Divide 10 from both sides

x             =   9

zuma took a loan of 630 000 from the bank. he will repay the loan over 48 months at 9.5% per annum simple interest. how much interest will zuma pay on the loan​

Answers

Answer:

Interest amount = 239400

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation of interest amount:

Given the loan amount or present value = 630000

Time period  = 48 months or 4 years

Interest rate give = 9.5%

Total amount = P ( 1 + rt)

P = 630000

r = 9.5%

t = 4 years

Total amount = 630000 ( 1 + 9.5% x 4)

Total amount = 869,400

Interest amount = 869400 - 630000

Interest amount = 239400

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8) and is parallel to the line x-2y=6?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)Parallel lines always have the same slope and different y-intercepts

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]x-2y=6[/tex]

Rearrange this equation into slope-intercept form (this will help us find the slope)

Subtract x from both sides

[tex]x-2y-x=6-x\\-2y=-x+6[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x-3[/tex]

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope of the given line is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] since it's in the place of m. Because parallel lines always have the same slopes, the line we're currently solving for would therefore have a slope of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] as well. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

Plug in the given point (-6,-8)

[tex]-8=\frac{1}{2}(-6)+b\\-8=-3+b[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides to isolate b

[tex]-8+3=-3+b+3\\-5=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is -5. Plug this back into [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-5[/tex]

I hope this helps!

Combine like terms

6x -3x -8 = 16

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-8-3x = 16-3x

Answer:

√7 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometrical identity are used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle. Some trigonometric identities are:

sinΘ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosΘ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanΘ = opposite / adjacent.

Given that cosΘ = 3 / 4

Therefore, cosΘ = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4

adjacent = 3, hypotenuse = 4. Let x be the opposite side, to get the opposite side, we use Pythagoras theorem:

opposite² + adjacent² = hypotenuse²

x² + 3² = 4²

x² + 9 = 16

x² = 7

x = √7

sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse = √7 / 4

So V= (1/3) (pi3^2) (12)

V= 113.04

By the way for the base you have to find the volume of a circle. I divided the diameter by 2 to find the radius.

and pi is 3.14
