Comment on the graph

The vertical asymptote tells you the simplified form has one zero in the denominator at x=7. That is, the denominator is x-7.

The x-intercept at 13 tells you that x-13 is a factor of the numerator.

The horizontal asymptote at y=1 tells you there is no vertical scaling, so the simplest form is ...

  (n -13)/(n -7)

The hole at x=6 is a result of the factor (x-6) that is cancelled from the first fraction in the original expression. At that value of x, the fraction is undefined. So, the above solution should come with the restriction x ≠ 6.

namely, how many go-around or revolutions does a tire have to make for those 165 meters.

[tex]\bf \textit{circuference of a circle}\\\\ C=\pi d~~ \begin{cases} d=diameter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ d=1.7 \end{cases}\implies C=1.7\pi \impliedby \textit{one revolution} \\\\\\ \textit{how many times does }1.7\pi \textit{ go into 165?}\qquad \stackrel{\pi =3.14}{\cfrac{165}{1.7\pi }\qquad \implies \qquad 30.9}[/tex]

The number of times the tire will have to turn in travelling the length of the street is 30.9 times.

To determine the number of times the tire will have to turn in travelling the length of the street, we will first calculate the circumference of the tire.  

Since the tire is circular, the circumference of the tire can be calculated from the formula for calculating the circumference of a circle.

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = πd

Where C is the circumference and d is the diameter

From the question d = 1.7m and π = 3.14

∴ C = 3.14 × 1.7

C = 5.338 m

Therefore, the circumference of the tire is 5.338 m

Now, for the number of times the tire will have to turn in travelling the length of the street, we will divide the length of the street by the circumference of the tire.

Number of times the tire will have to turn = Length of the street ÷ Circumference of the tire

Number of times the tire will have to turn = 165 m ÷ 5.338 m

Number of times the tire will have to turn = 30.91045 times

Number of times the tire will have to turn ≅ 30.9 times

Hence,  the number of times the tire will have to turn in travelling the length of the street is 30.9 times

The function is discontinuous at

[tex]x = - 3 \:and \: x = 3[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given rational function is

[tex] y = \frac{3x}{ {x}^{2} - 9 } [/tex]

For this function to be equal to zero, then the numerator must be zero.

Equate the numerator to zero and solve for x.

[tex]3x = 0[/tex]

This implies that

[tex]x = \frac{0}{3} = 0[/tex]

The rational function is discontinuous when the denominator is equal to zero.

[tex] {x}^{2} - 9 = 0[/tex]

Solve this quadratic equation using the square root method or otherwise.

[tex] {x}^{2} = \pm \sqrt{9} [/tex]

Answer:

4.382 cubiti

Step-by-step explanation:

That's a simple exercise of cross-multiplication:

[tex]\frac{x}{1.95}  = \frac{1}{0.445}[/tex]

x being the measure in cubitus we're looking for. We can isolate it:

x = (1.95 m * 1 ) / (0.445 m/cubitus) = 4.382 cubiti

1.95 m = 4.382 cubiti

Which totally makes sense... since a cubitus is roughly half a meter long... and the basketball is 2 meters high... so there are roughly 4 cubiti in 2 meters.

The height of the basketball forward in cubiti is approximately 4.38.

To convert the height from meters to cubiti, we use the conversion factor provided in the question:

1 cubitus = 0.445 m

Given the height of the basketball forward is 1.95 m, we divide this value by the conversion factor to find the height in cubiti:

Height in cubiti = Height in meters / Conversion factor

Height in cubiti = 1.95 m / 0.445 m/cubitus

Now, we perform the division:

Height in cubiti ≈ 4.38 cubiti

Since the value of 1 cubitus is considered to be exact, the number of significant figures in the answer is determined by the height in meters, which is 1.95 m (three significant figures). Therefore, the answer is rounded to three significant figures as well.

The volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region about the y-axis is approximately 35,929.77 cubic units.

Here,

To use the shell method to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region bounded by the curves [tex]y = x^{(5/2)}, y = 32[/tex],

and x = 0 about the y-axis, we need to integrate the circumference of cylindrical shells along the y-axis.

The volume V can be expressed as the integral of the circumference of the cylindrical shells from y = 0 to y = 32:

V = ∫[0 to 32] 2π * x * h(y) dy

where h(y) represents the height (or thickness) of each shell, and x is the distance from the y-axis to the curve [tex]y = x^{(5/2)[/tex].

To find h(y), we need to express x in terms of y by rearranging the equation [tex]y = x^{(5/2)[/tex]:

[tex]x = y^{(2/5)[/tex]

Now, we can express the volume integral:

V = ∫[0 to 32] 2π * [tex]y^{(2/5)[/tex] * (32 - y) dy

Now, we'll evaluate the integral:

V = 2π ∫[0 to 32] ([tex]32y^{(2/5)} - y^{(7/5)[/tex]) dy

Integrate each term separately:

[tex]V = 2\pi [(32 * (5/7) * y^{(7/5)}) - (5/12) * y^{(12/5)}] | [0 to 32]\\V = 2\pi [(32 * (5/7) * (32)^{(7/5)}) - (5/12) * (32)^{(12/5)}] - [0][/tex]

Now, evaluate the expression:

[tex]V = 2\pi [(32 * (5/7) * 2^7) - (5/12) * 2^{12}][/tex]

V = 2π [(32 * 1280/7) - (5/12) * 4096]

V = 2π [81920/7 - 341.33]

V ≈ 2π * 81920/7 - 2π * 341.33

V ≈ 36608π - 678.13

The volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region about the y-axis is approximately 35,929.77 cubic units.

Final answer:

The shell method is used to evaluate the volume of a solid created by revolving a region around the y-axis using a vertical shell element, integrating from x=0 to the x value corresponding to y=32.

Explanation:

To use the shell method to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the given plane region about the y-axis, we consider a vertical element or 'shell' at a certain x-value with thickness dx. Given the equations [tex]x^{5/2}[/tex], y = 32, and x = 0, these will be the bounds for our region.

The volume of each infinitesimal shell with radius x and height [tex](32 - x^{5/2})[/tex], when revolved around the y-axis, is [tex]2πx(32 -x^{5/2})dx[/tex]. To find the total volume, we integrate this expression from x=0 to where y is 32, which corresponds to the x value where [tex]x^{5/2} = 32[/tex].

Using the substitution [tex]x^{5/2}[/tex] to solve for dx, we get the integral in terms of y, which simplifies the computation. Finally, we evaluate the definite integral to find the volume of the solid of revolution.

[tex]- \frac {1} {2} = - 0.5\\2 \frac {1} {3} = \frac {3 * 2 + 1} {3} = \frac {7} {3} = 2.3333[/tex]

Answer:

No, it is not a square

Step-by-step explanation:

If one wall is 19", that would mean the wall perpendicular to this wall is also 19" (in fact all of the walls would be 19"!) If this was a square, then the diagonal we draw at 20.62" would serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  One wall would serve as a leg, and another wall as another leg.  If this is a square, then the Pythagorean's Theorem would be satisfied when we plug in the 2 wall measures for a and b, and the diagonal for c:

[tex]19^2+19^2=20.62^2[/tex]

We need to see if this is a true statement.  If the left side equals the right side, then the 2 legs of the right triangle are the same length, and the room, then is a square.

361 + 361 = 425.1844

Is this true?  Does 722 = 425.1844?  Definitely not.  That means that the room is not a square.

Answer:

[tex]N= 4543[/tex] Labrador retrievers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean [tex]\mu[/tex] is:

[tex]\mu = 62.5[/tex]

and the standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is:

[tex]\sigma=2.5[/tex]

The probability that a randomly selected Labrador retriever weighs less than 65 pounds is:

[tex]P(X<65)[/tex]

We calculate the Z-score for X =65

[tex]Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\Z =\frac{65-62.5}{65}=1[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X<65) = P(Z<1)[/tex]

Looking in the table for the standard normal distribution we have to:

[tex]P(Z<1) =0.8413[/tex].

Finally the amount N of Labrador retrievers that weigh less than 65 pounds is:

[tex]N = P(X<65) *5400[/tex]

[tex]N = 0.8413*5400[/tex]

[tex]N= 4543[/tex] Labrador retrievers

Answer:

The answer is (-5,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 2 equations and we need to solve them by substitution.

1) y = 4x + 22

2) 4x – 6y = –32

Since we already have y isolated in equation #1, we'll use that value in equation #2:

4x - 6(4x + 22) = -32

4x - 24x - 132 = -32

-20x = 100

x = -5

Then we put that value of x in the first equation:

y = 4 (-5) + 22 = -20 + 22 = 2

The answer is then (-5,2)

Answer:

(-5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations:

[tex]y=4x+22[/tex] and [tex]4x-6y=-32[/tex]

Using the substitution method, with y = 4x + 22 and replace it in the equation 4x - 6y = -32

4x - 6(4x + 22) = -32

4x -24x -132 = -32

-20x = -32 + 132

x = 100/-20= -5

Substituting the value of x in the first equations of the systems to clear x.

y = 4x + 22

y = 4(-5) + 22

y= -20 + 22 = 2

Answer:

1.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I started off with T(t)=70+Ce^kt

then since the initial temp was 98.6 I did T(0)=98.6=70+C so C=28.6

Then T(1) = 80 = 28.6e^k + 70

k = ln (10/28.6)

Then plugged that into

T(t)=85=28.6e^ln(10/28.6)t + 70

and got t=.61

The answer says it is about 1.6 hours.

The time that has elapsed before the body was found is 1.5 hour

The given parameters;

Apply the Newton's method of cooling equation;

[tex]T(t) = T_{s} + (T_{o} - T_{s})e^{kt}\\\\T(t) = 70 + (98.6 - 70)e^{kt}\\\\T(t) = 70 + 28.6e^{kt}[/tex]

At the time of discovery, we have the following equation,

[tex]T_{t} = 70 + 28.6e^{kt}\\\\80 = 70 + 28.6e^{kt}\\\\10 = 28.6k^{kt}[/tex]

1 hour later, t + 1, we have the second equation;

[tex]75 = 70 + 28.6e^{kt} \\\\5 = 28.6e^{k(t+ 1)} \\\\5 = 28.6e^{kt + k} ---- (2)[/tex]

divide equation 1  by equation 2;

[tex]\frac{10}{5} = \frac{28.6e^{kt}}{28.6 e^{kt + k}} \\\\2 = e^{kt - kt - k}\\\\2 = e^{-k}\\\\-k = ln(2)\\\\k = -0.693[/tex]

The time when he dead body was discovered is calculated as;

[tex]10 = 28.6e^{kt}\\\\10= 28.6e^{-0.693t}\\\\e^{-0.693t} = \frac{10}{28.6} \\\\-0.693 t = ln(\frac{10}{28.6} )\\\\-0.693t = -1.05\\\\t = \frac{1.05}{0.693} \\\\t = 1.515 \ \\\\t \approx 1.5 \ hr[/tex]

Thus, the time that has elapsed before the body was found is 1.5 hour

From the below graph it is clear that the intersection point of f(x) and g(x) is (-1.75,-3.75).

Therefore, the solution set of given equation is {-1.75}.

Answer:

The numbers are 14 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;

2x - 3

The sum of the numbers is thus;

x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3

But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;

3x - 3 = 39

3x = 42

x = 14

The second number is thus;

2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

The set of equations representing the word problem is ( x + y = 39 ) and ( x = 2y - 3 )

The correct answer is option

a).( x + y = 39 ) and ( x = 2y - 3 )

To solve this problem, let's first understand the given information.

Let's denote x as the number of one type of fruit (let's say apples) and y as the number of another type of fruit (let's say oranges). The problem states two conditions:

1. The total number of fruits is 39.

2. The number of apples (x) is either three less than twice the number of oranges (y) or it's the same as three more than twice the number of oranges.

Let's represent these conditions mathematically:

1. x + y = 39   (Equation 1)

2. x = 2y - 3   or   x = 2y + 3   (Equation 2)

Now, let's compare these equations with the options provided:

a) ( x + y = 39 ) and ( x = 2y - 3 )

b) ( x - y = 39 ) and ( x = 2y - 3 )

c) ( x + y = 39 ) and ( x = 3y - 2 )

d) ( x - y = 39 ) and ( x = 3y - 2 )

Comparing Equation 1 with the options, we see that options a) and c) match.

Comparing Equation 2 with the options, we see that options a) and b) match.

Therefore, the correct system of equations is option a):

(x + y = 39) and (x = 2y - 3).

1. The first equation represents the total number of fruits, which should be 39. We add the number of apples (x) and oranges (y) to get 39.

2. The second equation represents the relationship between the number of apples and oranges. The number of apples is three less than twice the number of oranges. So, we set up the equation x = 2y - 3.

Thus, the correct answer is option a)( x + y = 39 ) and ( x = 2y - 3 )
