The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 260 square feet. Its length is 6 feet longer than twice its width. Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

l = 26, w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of word problems always want you to use variables to find the answer. Variables are always going to represent the numbers you don't know.

This question wants you to find the length and width of the wall of the barn, so let's just use l for length (let l = length of barn wall) and w for width (let w = width of barn wall); this is called defining your variables, so that you--or anyone who looks at your work--know what the letter variable represents.

Now we use the other information we have to find what values the variables actually equal.

We know that the length is 6 feet longer than twice the width. To express this in terms of numbers and variables: l = 6 + 2w. This makes sense, right?

length = 6 + (2 * width)

If the total area of the wall is 260 square feet and we need to find the length and width, we can use the A = lw formula, which you can use for any rectangle. Since 260 is the area (A), we can put that into the formula so that we have 260 = lw.

Next, use the expression we came up with earlier (l = 6 + 2w) to help find the answer.

We have two equations now (l = 6 + 2w and 260 = lw) and we just need to put them together.

This part is the same as solving any other linear equation.

The approach I'll use is substitution:

l = 6 + 2w

260 = lw

Substitute 6 + 2w in for l:

260 = (6 + 2w) w

Distribute:

260 = 6w + 2w²

Solve:

w² + 3w - 130 = 0

w = -13, w = 10

(The width of a rectangle cannot be negative, so it has to be 10 ft.)

We're almost there. The last thing to do is to find the length. Just plug in 10 for w in the l = 6 + 2w formula:

l = 6 + 2(10) = 6 + 20 = 26

To check your work, we can double the width and add 6 to get 26, and 26 * 10 is 260.

So, the length of the wall of the barn is 26 and the width of the wall of the barn is 10.

If $4x=3y$, what is the value of $\frac{2x+y}{3x-2y}$?

Answers

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving $4x=3y$ for $x$ gives $x = \frac{3}{4}y$. Substituting this into the desired expression gives\begin{align*}\frac{2x+y}{3x-2y} &= \frac{2\left(\frac34\right)y + y}{3\left(\frac34y\right) - 2y}\\

&=

\frac{\frac32y + y}{\frac94y - 2y} = \frac{\frac52y}{\frac{y}{4}} \\

Kaliska is jumping rope. The vertical height of the center of her rope off the ground R(t) (in cm) as a function of time t (in seconds) can be modeled by a sinusoidal expression of the form a cos(b. t) + d. , At t = 0, when she starts jumping, her rope is 0 cm off the ground, which is the minimum. After [tex]\frac{\pi }{12}[/tex] seconds it reaches a height of 60 cm from the ground, which is half of its maximum height. Find R(t). t should be in radians.

Answers

Answer:

R (t) = 60 - 60 cos (6t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

R(t) = acos (bt) + d

at t= 0

R(0) = 0

0 = acos (0) + d

a + d = 0 ----- (1)

After [tex]\dfrac{\pi}{12}[/tex] seconds it reaches a height of 60 cm from the ground.

i.e

[tex]R ( \dfrac{\pi}{12}) = 60[/tex]

[tex]60 = acos (\dfrac{b \pi}{12}) +d --- (2)[/tex]

Recall from the question that:

At t = 0, R(0) = 0 which is the minimum

as such it is only  when a is  negative can acos (bt ) + d can get to minimum at t= 0

Similarly; 60 × 2 = maximum

R'(t) = -ab sin (bt) =0

bt = k π

here;

k  is the integer

making t the subject of the formula, we have:

[tex]t = \dfrac{k \pi}{b}[/tex]

replacing the derived equation of k into R(t) = acos (bt) + d

[tex]R (\dfrac{k \pi}{b}) = d+a cos (k \pi)[/tex] [tex]= \left \{ {{a+d \ for \ k \ odd} \atop {-a+d \ for k \ even}} \right.[/tex]

Since we known a < 0 (negative)

then d-a will be maximum

d-a = 60  × 2

d-a = 120 ----- (3)

Relating to equation (1) and (3)

a = -60 and d = 60

∴ R(t) = 60 - 60 cos (bt)

Similarly;

For [tex]R ( \dfrac{\pi}{12})[/tex]

[tex]R ( \dfrac{\pi}{12}) = 60 -60 \ cos (\dfrac{\pi b}{12}) =60[/tex]

where ;

[tex]cos (\dfrac{\pi b}{12}) =0[/tex]

Then b = 6

R (t) = 60 - 60 cos (6t)

Hi guys, can anyone help me with this, Thanks a lot:)

Answers

Answer:

  k = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the function to be continuous at x=9, the values of the two expressions must be the same at x=9.

The first expression evaluates to ...

  [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{9}-3}{-9}=-\dfrac{3-3}{9}=0[/tex]

The second expression needs to have the same value:

  [tex]1 -k(9) = 0\\\\1 = 9k\\\\\boxed{k=\dfrac{1}{9}}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]k=1/9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is continuous at a point if and only if:

[tex]\lim_{x \to n} f(x)=f(n)[/tex]

So, we have the piecewise function:

[tex]f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lI} \frac{\sqrt{x} -3}{-9} & \quad0< x <9 \\ 1-kx & \quad x\geq 9 \end{array} \right.$$[/tex]

And we want to find the value of k such that the function is continuous.

First, find the left hand limit of f(x):

[tex]\lim_{x\to9^-} f(x)[/tex]

Since we're coming from the left, we'll use the first equation. Thus:

[tex]=\lim_{x\to9^-} \frac{\sqrt{x}-3}{-9}[/tex]

Direct substitution:

[tex]=\frac{\sqrt{9}-3}{-9}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]=\frac{3-3}{-9}[/tex]

Subtract and divide:

[tex]=\frac{0}{-9}=0[/tex]

So, what this tells us is that for the function to be continuous, the right hand limit as  f(x) approaches 9 from the right must also be equal to 0.

Therefore:

[tex]\lim_{n \to 9^+} 1-kx=0[/tex]

Direct substitution:

[tex]1-9k=0[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides:

[tex]-9k=-1[/tex]

Divide both sides by -9:

[tex]k=1/9[/tex]

Therefore, the value of k is 1/9.

So, our equation in the end is:

[tex]f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lI} \frac{\sqrt{x} -3}{-9} & \quad0< x <9 \\ 1-\frac{1}{9}x & \quad x\geq 9 \end{array} \right.$$[/tex]

An investigator predicts that dog owners in the country spend more time walking their dogs than do dog owners in the city. The investigator gets a sample of 21 country owners and 23 city owners. The mean number of hours per week that city owners spend walking their dogs is 10.0. The standard deviation of hours spent walking the dog by city owners is 3.0. The mean number of hours country owners spent walking theirs dogs per week was 15.0. The standard deviation of the number of hours spent walking the dog by owners in the country was 4.0. Do dog owners in the country spend more time walking their dogs than do dog owners in the city?

Answers

Answer:

Yes  dog owners in the country spend more time walking their dogs than do dog owners in the city

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size from country is [tex]n_1 = 21[/tex]

     The  sample  size from city is  [tex]n_2 = 23[/tex]

     The  sample  mean for  country is   [tex]\= x_1 =  15 [/tex]

      The  Sample  mean for  city is  [tex]\= x_2 =  10[/tex]

       The  standard deviation for country  is [tex]\sigma _1 =  4[/tex]

        The standard deviation for  city is  [tex]\sigma _2 =  3[/tex]

Let the level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_2[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2[/tex]

 The  pooled standard deviation is  mathematically represented as

       [tex]s =  \sqrt{ \frac{s_1 ^2  *  (n_1 - 1 ) + s_2 ^2 *  (n_2 - 1 )}{ df} }[/tex]

Here  df is the degree of freedom which is mathematically represented as

          [tex]df =  n_1 + n_2  - 2[/tex]

         [tex]df =  21 + 23 -2 [/tex]

        [tex]df =  42[/tex]

So

    [tex]s =  \sqrt{ \frac{4 ^2  *  (15.0 - 1 ) + 3 ^2 *  (10 - 1 )}{ 42} }[/tex]  

    [tex]s =  3.5[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

        [tex]t =  \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2 }{ s *  \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2}  } }[/tex]

          [tex]t =  \frac{ 15 -10 }{ 3.5 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{ 21 } + \frac{1}{23} } }[/tex]

[tex]t =  4.733[/tex]

Generally the p-value  is obtained from the student t-distribution table   table , the value  is  

         [tex]P(T >   4.733)=  t_{4.733,  42 } = 0.000013  [/tex]

From the calculation we see that

         [tex]p-value  < \alpha[/tex]

So we reject the null hypothesis

Hence we can conclude that there is  sufficient evidence to support the claim that dog owners in the country spend more time walking their dogs than do dog owners in the city

The gasoline consumption of a small car is advertised as 16.3 km/L (1L=1liter). How many miles per gallon is this? One mile is 1.609 km and one gallon is 3.788 L.

Answers

Answer:

38.38 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

16.3 km/L to miles per gallon

1 mile = 1.609 km

16.3 km = 16.3/1.609 = 10.13 miles

1 gallon = 3.788 L

1 L = 1/3.788 = 0.2639 gallon

therefore,

16.3 km/L = 10.13/0.2639 = 38.38 miles per gallon

2. Solve the equation below and find the variation constant, k. Find y when x= 18, if y varies directly as x, and y=37 when x=5
*Round your answer to the nearest thousandth, if necessary. ​

Answers

Answer:

k = 7.4y = 133.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x= 18 we must first find the relationship between them

The statement

y varies directly as x is written as

[tex]y \: \: \alpha \: \: kx[/tex]

where k is the constant of proportionality

when y = 37

x = 5

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for k

That's

37 = 5k

Divide both sides by 5

k = 7.4

So the formula for the variation is

y = 7.4x

When x = 18

y = 7.4(18)

We have the answer as

y = 133.2
