Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase, use the following formula where New (this week) = 25 and Original (last week) = 20.

[tex]\% Change=\dfrac{\text{New - Original}}{\text{Original}}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{25-20}{20}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{5}{20}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad =0.25[/tex]

Convert the decimal into percentage by moving the decimal point two places to the right.  0.25 = 25%

Evan spent 25% more time this week than last week.

It can also be stated that this week Evan did 125% of homework compared to last week.

If Even spent 125% more than last week, he would have spent 100% (20 hours) + 25% (4 hours) = 24 hours.

14. Two packages weigh 3.92 pounds and
2.8 pounds. How many times heavier
is the first package than the second?
07 times

Answers

Hey there!

Let's think of this with a simpler example. Let's say one package is 4 pounds and one is 2 pounds. How many times heavier is the first than the second?Well, two, because the first package is double the weight of the second package! It's twice as heavy! And to get to that number, we divide four by two!

So, in our actual problem, we just divide 3.92 (bigger package) by 2.8 (smaller package).

3.92÷2.8=1.4

So, the first package is 1.4 times heavier than the first one!

Explain why the graphs of reciprocals of linear functions (except horizontal ones) always have vertical asymptotes,
but the graphs of reciprocals of quadratic functions sometimes do not.​

Answers

Answer:

The reason is because linear functions always have real solutions while some quadratic functions have only imaginary solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

An asymptote of a curve (function) is the line to which the curve is converging or to which the curve to line distance decreases progressively towards zero as the x and y coordinates of points on the line approaches infinity such that the line and its asymptote do not meet.

The reciprocals of linear function f(x) are the number 1 divided by function that is 1/f(x) such that there always exist a value of x for which the function f(x) which is the denominator of the reciprocal equals zero (f(x) = 0) and the value of the reciprocal of the function at that point (y' = 1/(f(x)=0) = 1/0 = ∞) is infinity.

Therefore, because a linear function always has a real solution there always exist a value of x for which the reciprocal of a linear function  approaches infinity that is have a vertical asymptote.

However a quadratic function does not always have a real solution as from the general formula of solving quadratic equations, which are put in the form, a·x² + b·x + c = 0 is  [tex]\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}[/tex], and when 4·a·c > b² we have;

b² - 4·a·c < 0 = -ve value hence;

√(-ve value) = Imaginary number

Hence the reciprocal of the quadratic function f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c = 0, where 4·a·c > b² does not have a real solution when the function is equal to zero hence the reciprocal of the quadratic function which is 1/(a·x² + b·x + c = 0) has imaginary values, and therefore does not have vertical asymptotes.

Urgent, It is a Calculus question and I’ll appreciate your help. Thanks

Answers

Answer:

  4733

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram.

Point A can be assigned x-coordinate "p". Then its y-coordinate is 6p^2. The slope at that point is y'(p) = 12p.

Point B can be assigned x-coordinate "r". Then its y-coordinate is 6r^2. The slope at that point is y'(r) = 12r.

We want the slopes at those points to have a product of -1 (so the tangents are perpendicular). This means ...

  (12p)(12r) = -1

  r = -1/(144p)

The slope of line AB in the diagram is the ratio of the differences of y- and x-coordinates:

  slope AB = (ry -py)/(rx -px) = (6r^2 -6p^2)/(r -p) = 6(r+p) . . . . simplified

The slope of AB is also the tangent of the sum of these angles: the angle AC makes with the x-axis and angle CAB. The tangent of a sum of angles is given by ...

  tan(α+β) = (tan(α) +tan(β))/1 -tan(α)·tan(β))

__

Of course the slope of a line is equal to the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The tangent of angle CAB is 2 (because the aspect ratio of the rectangle is 2). This means we can write ...

  slope AB = ((slope AC) +2)/(1 -(slope AC)(2))

  [tex]6(p+r)=\dfrac{12p+2}{1-(12p)(2)}\\\\3(p+r)(1-24p)=6p+1\qquad\text{multiply by $1-24p$}\\\\3\left(p-\dfrac{1}{144p}\right)(1-24p)=6p+1\qquad\text{use the value for r}\\\\3(144p^2-1)(1-24p)=144p(6p+1)\qquad\text{multiply by 144p}\\\\ 3456 p^3+ 144 p^2+ 24 p+1 =0\qquad\text{put in standard form}\\\\144p^2(24p+1)+(24p+1)=0\qquad\text{factor by pairs}\\\\(144p^2+1)(24p+1)=0\qquad\text{finish factoring}\\\\p=-\dfrac{1}{24}\qquad\text{only real solution}\\\\r=\dfrac{-1}{144p}=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

So, now we can figure the coordinates of points A and B, and the distance between them. That distance is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d^2 = (6r^2 -6p^2)^2 +(r -p)^2

  d^2 = (6(1/6)^2 -6(-1/24)^2)^2 +(1/6 +1/24)^2 = 25/1024 +25/576 = 625/9216

Because of the aspect ratio of the rectangle, the area is 2/5 of this value, so we have ...

  Rectangle Area = (2/5)(625/9216) = 125/4608 = a/b

Then a+b = 125 +4608 = 4733.

Answer:

110.41m

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value f x, we need to use SOH, CAH, TOA identity on ΔAEB but first we need to know any of the sides EB or AB.

From ΔBED, sum of the the angle in the triangle is 180° i.e ∠BED+∠EDB+∠EBD = 180°

65+55+∠EBD  = 180

∠EBD  = 180-120

∠EBD  = 60

Also ∠DBC = 90- ∠EBD

∠DBC = 90- 60

∠DBC = 30°

Applying sine rule on ΔBCD;

52/sin∠DBC = DB/sin115

52/sin30 = DB/sin115

DB = 52sin115/sin30

DB = 52sin115/0.5

DB = 104sin115

DB = 114.75 m

Also applying sine rule on ΔBED to get side BE;

BE/sin55 = 114.75/sin65

BEsin65 = 114.75sin55

BE =  114.75sin55/sin65

BE = 93.998/0.906

BE = 103.75m

Finally, applying the trigonometry identity SOH on  ΔABE

sinΔEAB = opp/hyp

sin70° = BE/AE

Since AE = x;

sin70° = 103.75/x

x = 103.75/sin70°

x = 110.41m

Hence, the value of x missing is approximately 110.41m

Answer:

NS ≈ 79.3 m∠PNS ≈ 30.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

The length PN is the diagonal of a rectangle that is 33 m by 60 m. Its length can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

  PN² = 33² +60² = 4689

  PN = √4689 ≈ 68.476 . . . meters

Diagonal NS is the hypotenuse of triangle PNS. Once again, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find its measure.

  NS² = PN² +PS² = 4689 +1600 = 6289

  NS = √6289

  NS ≈ 79.3 . . . meters

__

We have the side adjacent (PN) and the side opposite (PS) to angle PNS, so we can use the tangent function to find the angle:

  tan(PNS) = NS/PN = 40/68.476

  ∠PNS = arctan(40/68.476)

  ∠PNS ≈ 30.3°

What is unit conversion?

It is defined as the conversion from one quantity unit to another quantity unit followed by the process of division,and  multiplication by a conversion factor.

We have:

A birdbath contains 1\2 liters of water. A rainy day adds 215 milliliters.

1/2 liters = 0.5 liters

We know,

1 lter = 1000 ml

0.5 liters = 0.5×1000 = 500 ml

Total water = 215 ml + 500 ml = 715 ml

How did the death of chestnut tree result in the growth of the ecosystem Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave labor was valuable because it produced cheap sugar that everyone wanted to buy. But if people stopped buying that sugar, the whole slave system would collapse. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the women of New England refused to buy English products and English tea. The loss of income made London rescind some of the taxes it had imposed on America. Now this same tacticboycottingwas used to fight slavery. Some 400,000 English people stopped buying the sugar that slaves grew and harvested. Instead, they bought loaves of sugar that carried a label that said, "Produced by the labor of FREEMEN"the sugar came from India. When the English looked at the sugar they used every day, Clarkson and the other abolitionists made them see the blood of the slaves who had created it. The very fact that slave-made sugar was so popular made it harder for the English to ignore the reality of slavery. Sugar was a bridgelike the sneakers and T-shirts and rugs that, today, we know are made by sweatshop labor. If you wanted the product, abolitionists forced you to think about how it was made. Slaverya practice as ancient as human civilizationwas becoming unacceptable, a form of inhumanity people could no longer tolerate. Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage? Sugar was so cheap that it made economic sense for people in England to buy loaves of it. It was wiser for English people to buy sugar from India instead of the Caribbean. Slavery was so widespread that it would have been foolish for the English to oppose it. Boycotting was an effective and persuasive tool in the fight against slavery.
