8s + 8t = 48
What is s and what is t
(Similtaneous Equations)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(s, t) = (2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can eliminate the t variable by subtracting the first equation from half the second.
(1/2)(8s +8t) -(3s +4t) = (1/2)(48) -(22)
s = 2
3(2) +4t = 22
4t = 16
t = 4
The solution is (s, t) = (2, 4).

Problem 6)
We want to determine the equation of the graphed inequality.
First, let's determine the equation of the line for the inequality. We can see that it passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, 2). Find the slope:
[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{2-0}{0-(-2)}=\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]
So, the slope of the line is one.
And since it passes through the point (0, 2), our y-intercept is two. Therefore, the equation of the line is:
[tex]y=x+2[/tex]
Next, notice that the shaded region is below the line. Also, the line itself is also shaded.
Since the shaded region is below the line, y is less than the graph of the line and since the line itself is shaded, our sign is less than or equal to.
Hence:
[tex]y \leq x + 2[/tex]
Our answer is C.
Problem 7)
We have the inequality:
[tex]-2x+8+5x>2x+1[/tex]
First, solve the inequality. Combine like terms:
[tex]3x+8>2x+1[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides:
[tex]x+8>1[/tex]
And subtract 8 from both sides:
[tex]x>-7[/tex]
Therefore, any value greater than -7 will satisfy the inequality.
Out of the choices, the only choice greater than -7 is -5.
So, our answer is D.
Problem 8)
We have the inequality:
[tex]5x+7\leq 8x-3+2x[/tex]
Again, solve the inequality. Combine like terms:
[tex]5x+7\leq 10x-3[/tex]
Subtract 5x from both sides:
[tex]7\leq 5x-3[/tex]
And add three to both sides:
[tex]10\leq 5x[/tex]
Divide both sides by five:
[tex]2\leq x[/tex]
Flip:
[tex]x\geq 2[/tex]
Therfore, any value greater than or equal to 2 will satisfy the inequality.
Out of the choices, the only choice greater than or equal to 2 is 2.
So, our answer is D.

A company decides to drain the water heater to flush out sediments. The water heater has a capacity of 500 gallons. It drains 100 gallons in 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, they open another drain valve and it drains 200 gallons in the next 20 minutes. The drain valves are closed for 10 minutes, while the workers take a break and then the water heater is drained until the water heater is completely empty.
What are the domain and the range of this relation?
Answer:
≤ y ≤ 70 and 0 ≤ x ≤ 500
Step-by-step explanation:
In this relation we have two things to analyze, the number of gallons of water in the heater, that is 500 gallons, and the time that it took to empty the heater.
Let's count the time.
First, there are 20 minutes in wich 100 gallons are drained.
then, another drain valve is opened, so in 20 minutes they drain 200 gallons of water.
now, the wait for 10 minutes.
Now there are 200 gallons remaining, so the workers must wait for the other 20 minutes to drain the 200 gallons remaining.
The total amount of time is 70 minutes.
So if we have a relationship of water in the heater vs time, where X is the water remaining and Y is the time, the correct domains are:
Y from 0 minutes to 70 minutes
X from 0 gallons to 500 gallons
So the correct options are C and E.
0 ≤ y ≤ 70 and 0 ≤ x ≤ 500

The University of Montana ski team has thirteen entrants in a men's downhill ski event. The coach would like the first, second, and third places to go to the team members. In how many ways can the thirteen team entrants achieve first, second, and third places
Answer:
1716 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Number of entrants = 13
The number of ways of attaining first, second and third position :
The number of ways of attaining first ; only 1 person can be first ;
Using permutation :
nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!
13P1 = 13! ÷ 12! = 13
Second position :
We have 12 entrants left :
nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!
12P1 = 12! ÷ 11! = 12
Third position :
We have 11 entrants left :
nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!
11P1 = 11! ÷ 10! = 11
Hence, Number of ways = (13 * 12 * 11) = 1716 ways

The light from a lamp creates a shadow on a wall with a hyperbolic border. Find the equation of the border if the distance between the vertices is inches and the foci are inches from the vertices. Assume the center of the hyperbola is at the origin.
The equation of the hyperbola is,
(x/12)² - 4y²/(527) = 1
The standard equation of the hyperbola is
(x/a)² - (y/b)² = 1
Here (a, 0) and (-a, 0) are vertices and asymptotes y = ± √(b/a)x
Foci are (c, 0) & (-c, 0)
Then a² + b² = c²
Here we have to give that.,
2a = 24
a = 12
And 2c = 7
c = 7/2
Therefore a = 12 and c = 3.5
Substituting a and c in Pythagorean identity;
b² = 527/4
Then, the equation of the hyperbola is
(x/12)² - 4y²/(527) = 1

We have b = 0, which implies that the foci coincide with the vertices, making the hyperbola a degenerate case. In this scenario, the equation of the border would be a vertical line passing through the vertices/foci, given by the equation x = ±a.
To find the equation of the hyperbolic border created by the shadow on the wall, we can start by understanding the properties of a hyperbola. A hyperbola is defined as the set of all points such that the difference of the distances from any point on the hyperbola to two fixed points, called the foci, is constant.
Let's label the vertices of the hyperbola as A and B, and the foci as F1 and F2. The distance between the vertices is given as 2a inches, and the foci are located at a distance c inches from the vertices.
Using the given information, we can find the value of a and c. Since the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, the coordinates of the vertices are (±a, 0), and the coordinates of the foci are (±c, 0).
The distance between the foci is given by the equation:
c = √(a^2 + b^2)
We know that the distance between the foci is given as 2c inches, so:
2c = 2√(a^2 + b^2)
Since c is given as a distance from the vertices, we can substitute c = a - b to simplify the equation:
2(a - b) = 2√(a^2 + b^2)
Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root:
4(a - b)^2 = 4(a^2 + b^2)
Expanding the equation:
4(a^2 - 2ab + b^2) = 4a^2 + 4b^2
Simplifying the equation:
4a^2 - 8ab + 4b^2 = 4a^2 + 4b^2
Canceling out the common terms:
-8ab = 0
Dividing by -8:
ab = 0
This implies that either a = 0 or b = 0. However, since a represents the distance between the vertices and b represents the distance between the foci and vertices, we can rule out a = 0 as it would result in a degenerate hyperbola.

11 George will cover part of a floor with tiles.
The part of the floor is in the shape of a triangle as shown.

George buys tiles in packs.
Each pack covers 1 m2 and costs £39.95
The tiles can be cut and joined.
George gets off the cost of the packs of tiles.
Work out the lowest cost of the tiles for George.
Answer:
484ed+36_67'ten 355+(36)8wwhThe lowest cost of the tiles for George, for coring the considered triangular floor with the tiles of rate £39.95 per meter sq. is £226.3 approximately.
How can we interpret measurement of something?Remember that volume, area, length etc all are measured relatively.
If you are 1.7 meters tall, then you're height is measured relative to meters. This is called unit of the measurement. It means that if we collect 1 meter and 0.7 meters too,they together will be equally tall as you.
Similarly, if we say that a triangle has area of 40 square inches, then it means that its area is equal to 40 squares of 1 inch sides.
In the same way, volume is measured usually relative to unit cubes. Like how many unit cubes (cubes with 1 unit length of their sides) can be fitted (without any overlap or gap, but can be sliced to make them fit inside) inside the considered shape.
For this case, the tiles we will use will have the same area as the area of the triangular floor.
The triangular floor is of height and base of size 305 cm and 371.5 cm
Since the price rate of tiles is in meter sq, so it would be better if we convert the legths specified in meters.
100 cm = 1 m
1 cm = 1/100 m
305 cm = 305/100 = 3.05 m
371.5 cm = 3.715 m
The area of a triangle is half of the product of its base and height.
Thus, we get:
Area of tiles that will be used = area of the considered triangular floor =
[tex]\dfrac{3.05 \times 3.715}{2} \approx 5.665 \: \rm m^2[/tex]
Since 1 sq. m cost £39.95, therefore, 5.665 sq. meters will cost [tex]5.665 \times 39.95 \approx 226.3 \: \rm euros[/tex]
Thus, the lowest cost of the tiles for George, for coring the considered triangular floor with the tiles of rate £39.95 per meter sq. is £226.3 approximately.

Express the function as the sum of a power series by first using partial fractions. f(x)=x+62x2−9x−5
Answer:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} [(-2)^{n}x^{n} + \frac{x^{n}}{5^{n+1}}][/tex]
when:
[tex]|x|<\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must begin by splitting the function into its partial fractions, so we must first factor the denominator.
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}[/tex]
Next, we can build our partial fractions, like this:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A}{2x+1}+\frac{B}{x-5}[/tex]
we can then add the two fraction on the right to get:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A(x-5)+B(2x+1)}{(2x+1)(x-5)}[/tex]
Since we need this equation to be equivalent, we can get rid of the denominators and set the numerators equal to each other, so we get:
[tex]x+6=A(x-5)+B(2x+1)[/tex]
and expand:
[tex]x+6=Ax-5A+2Bx+B[/tex]
we can now group the terms so we get:
[tex]x+6=Ax+2Bx-5A+B[/tex]
[tex]x+6=(Ax+2Bx)+(-5A+B)[/tex]
and factor:
[tex]x+6=(A+2B)x+(-5A+B)[/tex]
so we can now build a system of equations:
A+2B=1
-5A+B=6
and solve simultaneously, this one can be solved by substitution, so we get>
A=1-2B
-5(1-2B)+B=6
-5+10B+B=6
11B=11
B=1
A=1-2(1)
A=-1
So we can use these values to build our partial fractions:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=\frac{A}{2x+1}+\frac{B}{x-5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x+6}{(2x+1)(x-5)}=-\frac{1}{2x+1}+\frac{1}{x-5}[/tex]
and we can now use the partial fractions to build our series. Let's start with the first fraction:
[tex]-\frac{1}{2x+1}[/tex]
We can rewrite this fraction as:
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}[/tex]
We can now use the following rule to build our power fraction:
[tex]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} ar^{n} = \frac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
when |r|<1
in this case a=1 and r=-2x so:
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-2x)^n[/tex]
or
[tex]-\frac{1}{1-(-2x)}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-2)^{n} x^{n}[/tex]
for: |-2x|<1
or: [tex] |x|<\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
Next, we can work with the second fraction:
[tex]\frac{1}{x-5}[/tex]
On which we can factor a -5 out so we get:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}[/tex]
In this case: a=-1/5 and r=x/5
so our series will look like this:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}=-\frac{1}{5}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\frac{x}{5})^n[/tex]
Which can be simplified to:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5(1-\frac{x}{5})}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{5^(n+1)}[/tex]
when:
[tex]|\frac{x}{5}|<1[/tex]
or
|x|<5
So we can now put all the series together to get:
[tex]\frac{x+6}{2x^2-9x+5}=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} [(-2)^{n}x^{n} + \frac{x^{n}}{5^{n+1}}}[/tex]
when:
[tex]|x|<\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We use the smallest interval of convergence for x since that's the one the whole series will be defined for.
