please help and thank you!
Answer:
v(w) = 7w³
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cuboid (rectangular prism, or box) is ...
V = LWH . . . . . . where L represent length, W represents width, and H represents height
The problem statement tells you that for a box of width w (in inches), the length is 2w, and the height is 3.5w. Using these values in the formula, we have ...
V = (2w)(w)(3.5w)
V = 7w³
Written as a function v(w), volume as a function of width, this is ...
v(w) = 7w³

Answer:
• n(t) = 150·2^t . . . . . . . . . . . . number of cells after t minutes
• a(t) = π(0.25 +0.50t)^2 . . . . area in cm^2 after t minutes
• d(t) = n(t)/a(t) = (2400·2^t)/(π(1+2t)^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of cells (n(t)) is described by an exponential function of time (t) with an initial value of 150 and a growth factor of 2 each minute:
n(t) = 150·2^t . . . . . . n in cells; t in minutes
___
The area of the culture is given by ...
a(t) = π·(r(t))^2 . . . . where r(t) is the radius as a function of time.
The radius is linearly increasing with a rate of increase of 0.50 cm/min, so can be described by ...
r(t) = 0.25 +0.50t
Then the area is ...
a(t) = π·(0.25 +0.50t)^2
A factor of 0.25 can be removed from inside parentheses to make this be ...
a(t) = (π/16)(1 +2t)^2 . . . . . a in cm^2; t in minutes
___
The density is the number of cells divided by the area:
d(t) = n(t) / a(t) = 150·2^t/((π/16)(1 +2t)^2)
Simplifying a bit, this is ...
d(t) = (2400/π)(2^t)/(1 +2t)^2 . . . . . d in cells/cm^2; t in minutes

Find all values of k for which the equation 3x2−(k+2)x+k−1=0 has no solutions.
Answer:
there are solutions for all values of k
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for there to be no real solutions, the value of the discriminant must be negative. For this equation, the discriminant is ...
(-(k+2))^2 -4(3)(k-1)
We want to find values of k for which this is negative:
(k^2 +4k +4) -12k +12 < 0
k^2 -8k +16 < 0
(k -4)^2 < 0
A square is never negative, so there are no values of k that result in the equation having no solutions.
Solve the exponential equation. 125^7x-2 = 150.
A.) -0.1375
B.) 2.1483
C.) 0.4234
D.) 0.4340
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to get the x out of the position in which is currently sitting, which is exponential. The only way to get an exponent out from that position is to take the log of both sides. The power rule of logs allows us to move the exponent down in front of the log. Like this:
7x - 2 log (125)=log(150)
Now you want to divide both sides by log(125) to get the 7x - 2 all by itself:
[tex]7x-2=\frac{log(150)}{log(125)}[/tex]
Do that on your calculator and you'll get this:
7x - 2 = 1.037760918
Add 2 to both sides to get
7x = 3.037760918
then divide both sides by 7:
x = .4339 which rounds to .4340

If possible, please help me with this problem. I do not understand what method and such.
Answer:
14 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The method used to find the area of this trapezoid is to put the given numbers into the formula for the area of a trapezoid. That formula is ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the perpendicular distance between them.
The figure shows you that b1 and b2 are 5 m and 2 m (in no particular order) and h is 4 m. Putting these numbers into the formula gives ...
A = (1/2)(5 m + 2m)(4 m) = (1/2)(28 m^2) = 14 m^2
write an equivalent fraction with the given denominator 3/7 - /35
Answer: [tex]\frac{15}{35}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent fractions are defined as those fractions that represent the same value but their numerators and denominators are different.
For a fraction in the form [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex] you can find an equivalent fraction by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number "c":
[tex]\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a*c}{b*c}[/tex]
Then, for the fraction [tex]\frac{3}{7}[/tex] you have an equivalent fraction with denominator 35. This is obtained by multiplying the denominato 7 by 5.
Then, the numerator will be:
[tex]3*5=15[/tex]
So:
[tex]\frac{3*5}{7*5}=\frac{15}{35}[/tex]
Answer:
The equivalent fraction of 3/7 is 15/35
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a fraction 3/7
To find the equivalent fraction
We have 3/7
some of equivalent fraction of 3/7 are
3/7 * 2/2 = 6/14
3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21
3/7 * 4/4 = 12/28
3/7 * 5/5 =15/35
3/7 * 6/6 = 18/42 ....
We need denominator 35
Therefore the correct answer is 15/35
Jackson and Olivia deposited $9,047.00 into a savings account which earns interest compounded monthly. After 8 months, they had $9,779.00 in the account which they used to go on a trip. What was the interest rate on the account?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
11.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
The account balance (A) for a principal amount P and monthly interest rate r will be ...
A = P(1 +r)^8
Then we can divide by P and take the 8th root to find r:
A/P = (1+r)^8
(A/P)^(1/8) = 1 +r
(A/P)^(1/8) - 1 = r
Since this is the monthly rate, we need to multiply this value by 12 to find the annual interest rate on the account:
annual rate = 12((A/P)^(1/8) -1) = 12((9779/9047)^(1/8) -1) ≈ 0.11728 ≈ 11.7%
i need some help on this question please
Answer:
36, 32, 28, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the values of n and do the arithmetic.
a1 = 36 -4(1 -1) = 36
a2 = 36 -4(2 -1) = 32
a3 = 36 -4(3 -1) = 28
a4 = 36 -4(4 -1) = 24
_____
You could recognize the formula as the specific case of the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with first term 36 and common difference -4. That tells you the second term is 36 -4 = 32, and each successive term is 4 less than the one before.
The area of a circle is 78.5 square centimeters, and a subtending arc on the circle has an arc length of 6. The estimated value of is 3.14. The measure of the angle subtended by the arc is ?
Answer:
The measure of the angle is [tex]68.79\°[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the radius of the circle
The area of the circle is equal to
[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
we have
[tex]A=78.5\ cm^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
substitute and solve for r
[tex]78.5=(3.14)r^{2}[/tex]
[tex]r^{2}=78.5/(3.14)[/tex]
[tex]r=5\ cm[/tex]
step 2
Find the circumference of the circle
The circumference of the circle is equal to
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=5\ cm[/tex]
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
Substitute
[tex]C=2(3.14)(5)[/tex]
[tex]C=31.4\ cm[/tex]
step 3
Find the measure of the angle by an arc length of 6 cm
we know that
The circumference of a circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees
So
by proportion
[tex]\frac{31.4}{360}=\frac{6}{x}\\ \\x=360*6/31.4\\ \\x=68.79\°[/tex]
Answer:
The measure of the angle subtended by the arc is 68.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for calculating length of an arc is expressed as:
Length of an arc = theta/360×2πr
Where theta is the angle subtended by the arc
r is the radius of the circle
To get the radius r;
Given Area of the circle to be 78.5cm²
Since area = πr²
78.5 = πr²
78.5 = 3.14r²
r² = 78.5/3.14
r² = 25
r =√25
r = 5cm
This radius of the circle is 5cm
Remember that
Length of an arc = theta/360° × 2πr
6 = theta/360 × 2(3.14)(5)
6 = 31.4theta/360
2160 = 31.4theta
theta = 2160/31.4
theta = 68.8°
Which of the following represent(s) an equation of the line passing through the points A(5, 6) and B(4, 8). Select all that apply.
For this case we have that the equation of a straight line in the form of an intersection is given by:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis
We found the slope:
[tex]m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1} = \frac {8-6} {4-5} = \frac {2} {- 1} = - 2[/tex]
So, the line is:
[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]
We find the cut point by substituting a point:
[tex]8 = -2 (4) + b\\8 = -8 + b\\b = 8 + 8\\b = 16[/tex]
Finally, the equation is:
[tex]y = -2x + 16[/tex]
We can also have the equation of the point-slope form:
[tex]y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})[/tex]
Where:
[tex](x_ {0}, y_ {0}) = (4,8)[/tex]represents a point:
So:
[tex]y-8 = -2 (x-4)[/tex]
ANswer:
[tex]y-8 = -2 (x-4)\\y = -2x + 16[/tex]

a car gets 36 miles to the gallon. How many miles can the car travel on six and ¾ gallon of gasoline?
For this case we have a mixed number given by:
[tex]6 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {6 * 4 + 3 * 1} {4} = \frac {27} {4}[/tex]
We make a rule of three to get the miles that the car can travel.
36 ---------> 1
x ------------> [tex]\frac {27} {4}[/tex]
Where "x" represents the variable that gives the number of miles that the car can travel with [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex]gallons of gasoline
[tex]x = \frac {\frac {27} {4} * 36} {1}\\x = 243[/tex]
So, the car can travel 243 miles
ANswer:

Answer:
A quadratic equation of the form 0 = ax² + bx + c with a discriminant value of –16 has no real solution
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 with discriminant D=b²-4ac has
2 unequal real solutions if D is positive i.e. D>0
2 equal real roots if D=0
no real root if D is negative i.e. D<0
Here, we are given value of D= -16 which is less than zero
Hence, a quadratic equation of the form 0 = ax² + bx + c with a discriminant value of –16 has no real solution

(1, -3) ⇒ (-3, 1)(3, -2) ⇒ (-2, 3)(4, -5) ⇒ (-5, 4)The square of a number decreased by 4 times the number equals 21. Find the number.
Answer: 7
Explanation:
x^2-4x=21
x^2-4x-21=0
(x+3)(x-7)=0
x=-3
x=7
*** if you need to find the positive # only, the ANSWER is 7****
The correct equation for the problem is x² - 4x = 21. By using the quadratic formula, we find that the number can be either 7 or -3.
The student provided a mistaken equation for the problem which is x² + 4x = 21, not x² + 4x 21 = 0. The correct equation that represents the problem 'The square of a number decreased by 4 times the number equals 21' is x² - 4x = 21. To solve this equation, we first bring the constants to one side to set the equation equal to zero:
x² - 4x - 21 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a = 1, b = -4, and c = -21. We will use the quadratic formula, which is:
x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
Substituting the values of a, b, and c into the formula gives us:
x = (4 ± √((-4)² - 4(1)(-21))) / (2*1)
x = (4 ± √(16 + 84)) / 2
x = (4 ± √100) / 2
x = (4 ± 10) / 2
Thus, the solutions are x = (4 + 10) / 2 = 7 and x = (4 - 10) / 2 = -3.
Therefore, the numbers that satisfy the equation are 7 and -3.
Use the Divergence Theorem to calculate the surface integral S F · dS; that is, calculate the flux of F across S. F(x, y, z) = (cos(z) + xy2) i + xe−z j + (sin(y) + x2z) k, S is the surface of the solid bounded by the paraboloid z = x2 + y2 and the plane z = 4.
The divergence of the vector field [tex]\vec F[/tex] is
[tex]\nabla\cdot\vec F=y^2+0+x^2=x^2+y^2[/tex]
By the divergence theorem,
[tex]\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_V(x^2+y^2)\,\mathrm dV[/tex]
where [tex]V[/tex] denotes the region with boundary [tex]S[/tex]. Convert to cylindrical coordinates:
[tex]x=u\cos v[/tex]
[tex]y=u\sin v[/tex]
[tex]z=z[/tex]
The integral is then
[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^2\int_{u^2}^4u^3\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\frac{32\pi}3[/tex]
Using the Divergence Theorem, the flux of the vector field F across the surface S can be calculated by finding the dot product of F and the outward-pointing unit normal vector to the surface. This concept is similar to that of a Gaussian surface in physics, which is used to analyze the flux of electric fields.
Explanation:In this problem, you are required to use the Divergence Theorem in order to calculate a surface integral, specifically the flux of the vector field F across a defined surface S. At a basic level, the Divergence Theorem states that the flux of a vector field through a closed surface is equal to the triple integral of the divergence of the field over the volume enclosed by the surface.
In this specific scenario, we have the vector field F(x, y, z) = (cos(z) + xy²) i + xe⁻ᶻ j + (sin(y) + x²z) k, and the surface S is bounded by the paraboloid z = x² + y² and the plane z = 4. To calculate the surface integral, you would first express these surfaces parametrically and then find the outward pointing unit normal vector to the surface. The dot product of F and this normal vector will give the amount of F flowing across an infinitesimal element of the surface, which when integrated over the entire surface, yields the flux of F across S.
This process is similar to the concept of Gaussian surface, which is used to calculate the flux of an electric field. In both cases, we're examining how a field interacts with a defined space or volume.

Final answer is x=4, y=7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Questions says to use the graph to determine the number of solutions the system has. where system of equations are x=4 and y=x+3
any equation of the form x=k is a vertical line crossing x-axis at k.
So x=4 is a vertical line crossing x-axis at 4.

20 + 1.25(20) = retail price
$45 = retail price.
To find 40% off of that, use
$45 - .4($45) = sale price
$27 = sale price (aka discount price)

Given: parallelogram MNPQ
Prove: ∠N≅∠Q
Answer:
1. MN≅QP
MQ≅NP
2. MP≅MP
3. SSS congruence postulate
4. ∠N≅∠Q
5. CPCTC
Step-by-step explanation:
1. As per the property of parallelogram that opposite sides are congruent, in given case of parallelogram MNPQ the opposite sides
MN≅QP and MQ≅NP.
2. The reflexive property of congruence states that a line or a geometrical figure is reflection of itself and is congruent to itself. Hence in given case of parallelogram MNPQ
MP≅MP
3. SSS congruence postulate stands for Side-Side-Side congruence postulate, it states that when three adjacent sides of two triangle are congruent then the two triangles are congruent. In given case of parallelogram MNPQ, as the sides MN≅Q, MQ≅NP and MP≅MP hence
ΔMQP≅ΔPNM
5. As proven in part 4 that ΔMQP is congruent to ΔPNM, so as per the property of CPCTC (congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
∠N≅∠Q
5. CPCTC stands for congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

[Lots of Points] What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial?
Notice you can factorize
[tex]x^5+5x^4-5x^3-25x^2+4x+20[/tex]
by grouping the terms as
[tex](x^5-5x^3+4x)+(5x^4-25x^2+20)=x(x^4-5x^2+4)+5(x^4-5x^2+4)[/tex]
[tex]\implies f(x)=(x+5)(x^4-5x^2+4)[/tex]
Then you know right away that [tex]x=-5[/tex] is a (real) root, so we eliminate C and D.
The remaining quartic can be factored easily:
[tex]x^4-5x^2+4=(x^2)^2-5x^2+4=(x^2-4)(x^2-1)=(x-2)(x+2)(x-1)(x+1)[/tex]
which admits four more (also real) roots, [tex]x=\pm2[/tex] and [tex]x=\pm1[/tex], so the answer is B.
