We know that the area of a circle in terms of π will be πr². However the area with respect to the diameter will be a different story. The first step here is to find a function relating the area and diameter of any circle --- ( 1 )

For any circle the diameter is 2 times the radius,

d = 2r

Therefore r = d / 2, which gives us the following formula through substitution.

A = π(d / 2)² = πd² / 4

Hence the area of a circle as the function of it's diameter is A = πd² / 4. You can also say f(d) = πd² / 4.

Now we can substitute " d " as 4, solving for the area ( A ) or f(4) --- ( 2 )

f(4) = π(4)² / 4 = 16π / 4 = 4π - This makes the area of circle present with a diameter of 4 inches, 4π.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Consider the equation below. x/h+1=-2 The value of x in terms of h is ___. The value of x when h=4 is ___.

Answers

Answer:

x = -3h

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is [tex]\frac{x}{h}+1=-2[/tex]

To find the value of x in terms of h we will solve the expression to isolate x on one side of the equation.

by subtracting 1 from both the sides of the equation,

[tex]\frac{x}{h}+1-1=-2-1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{h}=-3[/tex]

Multiplying 'h' on both the sides of the equation,

[tex](\frac{x}{h})\times h = (-3)h[/tex]

x = -3h

If h = 4,

x = (-3)(4)

x = -12

Jayden is a waiter at a restaurant. Each day he works, Jayden will make a guaranteed wage of $30, however the additional amount that Jayden earns from tips depends on the number of tables he waits on that day. From past experience, Jayden noticed that he will get about $14 in tips for each table he waits on. How much would Jayden expect to earn in a day on which he waits on 16 tables? How much would Jayden expect to make in a day when waiting on

Answers

Answer:

$254

$30 + $14x

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayden:

Guaranteed wage= $30

Tips per table = $14

Number of tables = 16

Total revenue = fixed revenue + variable revenue

Fixed revenue= $30

Variable revenue change with quantity= $14 × number of tables Jayden waits on

Total earnings of Jayden for the day = $30 + $14(16)

= $30 + $224

= $254

When Jayden waits on x number of tables

Total earnings of Jayden for the day = $30 + $14(x)

= $30 + $14x

Where x = number of tables Jayden waits on

Answer:

$254

You and three friends go to the town carnival. You have a coupon for $20 off that will save your group money! If the total bill to get into the carnival was $100, how much does one regular price ticket cost?

Answers

Answer:

Regular price for 1 ticket = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a total of 4 people went to the carnival.

Total bill for the tickets = $100

Discount coupon used = $20

To find:

Cost of Regular price ticket = ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the regular price of tickets for 4 persons as if there was no coupon used.

If no coupon used, total bill of tickets = Total bill with coupon + Amount of coupon

Regular price for 4 tickets = 100 + 20 = $120

So, regular price for 1 ticket = Regular price of 4 tickets divided by 4

[tex]\text{Regular price for 1 ticket }= \$\dfrac{120}{4} = \$\bold{30}[/tex]

Three Bears
In the land of Plentiful Honey, lived three bears: Papa
Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear. They had three pots
of honey: one large, one medium, and one small. One
day they found themselves carrying the pots of honey
down a path. Papa was carrying the medium pot, while
Mama was carrying the small pot, and Baby was
carrying the large pot. This was clearly inequitable and they decided to trade pots, so that
each was proportional to the size of the bear. It may seem there is a simple solution to their
dilemma, however, the rules for transferring pots in the land of Plentiful Honey are quite
complicated. They are:
a) Only one pot of honey can be passed at a time.
b) fa bear is holding two pots of honey, only the smaller pot may be transferred.
• A honey pot may not be transferred to a bear that is holding a smaller pot.

You must multiply the number of liters by its value, and divide that result by the number of minutes that each person consumed, in order to obtain the value per minute on shower water.

((480 x 6) x 0.2) / (6 x 72) = X(2880 x 0.2) / 432 = X576/432 = X1.333 = X

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism  is not equal to the volume of the cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The cross sectional area of triangular prism and a night cylinder are congruent. The term 'congruent' means when two objects or shapes are placed above each other , they should both overlap exactly.

It was given that:

The triangular prism has a height of 5 units

and the right cylinder height of 3 units

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that:

The volume of the triangular prism  is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

This is because, they do not occur in the same family. A triangular prism is a three - dimensional shape that has identical, parallel ends and parallel faces.

A triangular prism has two triangles at it ends and three rectangular faces.

The volume of the triangular prism is calculate by using the formula:

[tex]V= \dfrac{1}{2}\times b \times h\times l[/tex]

On the other hand, a cylinder is a shape with two circular ends and a curved surface.The two circular ends are congruent and both circular end posses the same cross section from one end to the other in the cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated by using the formula:

V = πr²h

Thus, we conclude that irrespective of the nature of their congruency, since the heights are different which will definitely affects their volume, the the volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

THE SEVEN APPLEWOMEN
Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140
apples, went to market and sold all their apples at the same price, and each
received the same sum of money. What was the price?

Answers

Answer:

  zero

Step-by-step explanation:

If the same sum is received for the sale of 20 apples at price p as is received for the sale of 140 apples at price p, then we must have ...

  20p = 140p

  120p = 0 . . . . . . subtract 20p

  p = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 120

The price was zero.

Answer:

Price was 1 unit of money per each 7 apples and 3 units of money per each extra appleEach woman received 20 unit of money

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the tricky one

I think 'The Seven Apple' is the hint. Let's see what the numbers have to do  with 7:

20 = 7*2 + 640 = 7*5 + 560 = 7*8 + 480 = 7*11 + 3100 = 7*14 + 2120 = 7*17 + 1140 = 7*20 + 0

Assume each '7 apples' sold for a fixed price x and each 'extra' apple sold for a different price y. Since all add up to make same amount, we get:

2x + 6y = 5x + 5y = ... = 20x

Let x = 1, then we get y = 3

So we get the sold price:

20 apples cost: 2*1 + 6*3 = 2040 apples cost: 5*1 + 5*3 = 20...140 apples cost: 20*1 = 20

So each apple woman got 20 units of money for their apples.

Price was 1 unit of money per each 7 and 3 units of money per each extra apple

Show all work to factor x^4-10x^2+9 completely

Answers

Answer:

[tex](x^{2}-9)(x^{2} -1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find what adds to _ and multiples to_

It needs to multiple to the 'c' term or 9

It needs to add to the 'b' term or -10

Step 2: Find the numbers

We know -9 and -1 make 10 and multiple to 9

-9 x -1 = 9

-9 + (-1) + -10

Step 3: Write equation in form a(x-r)(x-s)

a = 1

r = -9

s = -1

Plug in the equation to get the factored form of the equation:

[tex](x^{2}-9)(x^{2} -1)[/tex]

Therefore the factored form of the equation is [tex](x^{2}-9)(x^{2} -1)[/tex]

Quadratic equations are also a type of algebraic fractions that have factors.

The factor of [tex]x^{4} - 10x^{2} + 9 = (x -3)(x + 3)(x - 1)(x + 1)[/tex]

In order to completely factor [tex]x^{4} - 10x^{2} + 9[/tex] we would apply the formula:

a(x-r)(x-s)

To find the variables a, x, r and s, we have to love at the coefficients of [tex]x^{2}[/tex] which is -10 and the term 9 and find out what can we multiply together to give us 9 and add together to give us -10

That would be , -9 and - 1 because:

-9 x -1 = 9

-9 + (-1) = -10

Hence: the value for a = 1

, r = -9  and s = -1

Putting this into the equation:

1(x -(-9)(x - (-1))

Hence, we have:

[tex](x^2-9)( x^{2} - 1)[/tex]

Factorizing the above expression further, we have

[tex](x - 3)(x + 3)(x - 1)(x + 1)[/tex]

Therefore, the factor of [tex]x^{4} - 10x^{2} + 9 = (x -3)(x + 3)(x - 1)(x + 1)[/tex]
