3. West Fremont is a community consisting of 3,000 homes. A small coal-burning power plant currently supplies electricity for the town. The capacity of the power plant is 12 megawatts


(MW) and the average household consumes 8,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electrical energy each year. The price paid to the electric utility by West Fremont residents for this energy is $0.10 per kWh. The town leaders are considering a plan, the West Fremont Wind Project (WFWP), to generate their own electricity using 10 wind turbines that would be located on the wooded ridges surrounds the town. Each wind turbine would have a capacity of 1.2 MW and each would cost the town $3 million to purchase, finance, and operate for 25 years.



(a) Assuming that the existing power plant can operate at full capacity for 8,000 hrs/yr, how many kWh of electricity can be produced by the plant in a year?



(b) At the current rate of electrical energy use per household, how many kWh of electrical energy does the community consume in one year?



(c) Assuming that the electrical energy needs of the community do not change during the 25-year lifetime of the wind turbines, what would be the cost to the community of the electricity supplied by the WFEP over 25 years? Express your answer in dollars/kWh.

Answers

Answer 1

Power is the rate of doing work, and the power of the generating plant or

turbine and the duration of generation, gives the energy generated.

The correct responses are;

(a) 96 × 10⁶ kWh(b) 24 × 10⁶ kWh(c) 0.05 dollars/kWh

Reasons:

Number of homes in the town = 3,000 homes

The given capacity of the power plant = 12 MW = 12,000 kW

Power consumed by a household = 8,000 kWh per year

The price for electrical energy = $0.10 per kWh

Number of wind turbines = 10

WFWP = The West Fremont Wind Project

Capacity of each wind turbine = 1.2 MW

Cost of each wind turbine for 25 years = $3 million

(a) Number of hours of operation of the power plant = 8,000 hrs/yr

Required:

The amount of kWh of electricity produced in a year by the plant.

Solution:

The energy produced = Power × Time

∴ The energy produced = 12,000 kW × 8000 hr = 96,000,000 kWh

Therefore;

The energy produced by the plant in a year, E = 96 × 10⁶ kWh

(b) Energy consumed = Energy consumed per home × Number of homes

Therefore;

Energy consumed = 8,000 kWh/home × 3,000 homes = 24,000,000 kWh

The energy the community consumes in one year = 24 × 10⁶ kWh

(c) The cost per kWh = $0.10

The cost, C, of the energy per year is therefore

C = 24,000,000 kWh × $0.10/kWh = $2,400,000

The cost for 25 years = 25 × C = 25 × $2,400,000 = $60,000,000

The number of wind turbines = 10

Cost per wind turbine = $3 million

Total cost to operate the 10 wind turbine = $3 million × 10 = $30 million

Energy consumed = 24,000,000 kWh

Therefore;

24,000,000 kWh × 25 = $30 million

[tex]\displaystyle 1 \ kWh = \frac{\$ 30 \ million}{25 \times 24,000,000 \ kWh} = \mathbf{\$0.05/kWh}[/tex]

The cost to the community of the electricity supplied by WFWP over 25 years is $0.05/kWh.

For your job, you often fly between Seattle and Miami. The distance between these cities is 2,724 miles. You earn a free flight after you accumulate 25,000 miles of travel. How many round trips (back and forth) mus!

you make between Seattle and Miami in order to earn a free flight?

b. 5

c. 8

d. 9

e. 10

Answer 5

Answers

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

one trip = 2724 miles

one round trip = 2 trips = 2724 * 2 = 5448 miles

We want to see how many round trips go into the miles needed for a free flight. We want to see how many times 5448 goes into 25000. To do this, we can use division.

25000/5448 ≈ 4.6

If we only have 4 round trips, it will not be enough for 4.6, so we will not be able to obtain a free flight. If we have 5, we will be able to, as 5 > 4.6

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations can have the form y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and equals Δy/Δx

and b is the y intercept.

Just for fun, let's choose the first and last sets of data points.

Δy = (275 - 135) = 140

Δx = (5 - 1) = 4

so slope m = 140/4 = 35    and the units on the slope would be $/month

Answer:

The slope of the line is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll select [tex](1,135)[/tex] and [tex](2,170)[/tex] for this problem.

The slope is defined as the rate of change. Its formula is [tex]Slope=m=\frac{Rise}{Run}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where our two points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex].

Therefore, we have [tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{170-135}{2-1}=\frac{35}{1}=35[/tex] as our slope.

(c) One of the factors of 23 - bºis a - b. Find a quadratic factor of a3 - bº Show your work.
(d) Factor the expression x3 - 1.

Answers

Factorization involves breaking down an expression.

The factorized expression of [tex]8x^3 + 27[/tex] is [tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x + 3)(4x^2 -8x3 +9)[/tex]The other factor of [tex]2^3 - b^3[/tex] is [tex]4+2b+b^2[/tex]The factorized expression of x^3 - 1 is [tex]x^3 - 1^3=(x-1)(x^2+x+1)[/tex]

The sum of cubes is given as:

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 -ab + b^2)[/tex]

(a) Verify the formula

Expand the expression on the right-hand side

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 -a^2b + ab^2 +a^2b - ab^2 + b^3[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 -a^2b +a^2b+ ab^2 - ab^2 + b^3[/tex]

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = a^3 + b^3[/tex]

The formula has been verified

(b) Factorized 8x^3+ 27

We have:

[tex]8x^3 + 27[/tex]

Express 27 as 3^3

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =8x^3 + 3^2[/tex]

Express 8 as 2^3

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =2^3x^3 + 3^3[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x)^3 + 3^3[/tex]

Given that:

[tex](a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 -ab + b^2)[/tex]

The expression becomes

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x + 3)((2x)^2 - (2x)3 +3^2)[/tex]

[tex]8x^3 + 27 =(2x + 3)(4x^2 -8x3 +9)[/tex]

(c)The other factor of 2^3 - b^3

By difference of cubes, we have:

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex]

So, the equation becomes

[tex]2^3 - b^3=(2-b)(2^2+2b+b^2)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]2^3 - b^3=(2-b)(4+2b+b^2)[/tex]

Hence, the other factor of [tex]2^3 - b^3[/tex] is [tex]4+2b+b^2[/tex]

(c) Factor x^3 - 1

We have:

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex]

Express 1 as 1^3 in x^3 - 1

[tex]x^3 - 1 =x^3 - 1^3[/tex]

[tex]x^3 - y^3=(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)[/tex] becomes

[tex]x^3 - 1^3=(x-1)(x^2+x+1^2)[/tex]

[tex]x^3 - 1^3=(x-1)(x^2+x+1)[/tex]

How do I find the equation of the perpendicular bisector between (-2,5) and (2,-1)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of the given line.

[tex]\boxed{ slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2 }{x_1 - x_2} }[/tex]

Slope of given line

[tex] = \frac{5 - ( - 1)}{ - 2 - 2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{5 + 1}{ - 4} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{6}{ - 4} [/tex]

[tex] = - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

A perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its midpoint perpendicularly.

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Let the slope of the perpendicular bisector be m.

[tex] - \frac{3}{2} m = - 1[/tex]

[tex]m = - 1 \div ( - \frac{3}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]m = - 1 \times ( - \frac{2}{3} )[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3}x + c[/tex], where c is the y-intercept.

To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that lies on the perpendicular bisector into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, we can use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates.

[tex]\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x _{1} + x _2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )}[/tex]

Midpoint of given line

[tex] = ( \frac{ - 2+ 2}{2} , \frac{5 - 1}{2} )[/tex]

[tex] =( \frac{0}{2} , \frac{4}{2} )[/tex]

= (0, 2)

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + c[/tex]

When x= 0, y= 2,

2= ⅔(0) +c

2= 0 +c

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is [tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + 2[/tex].

b) Solving for the length, we get the length to be; x = 6.

c) All workings are as shown below;

According to the question;

When the height of a rectangular prism was halved, the volume was 168 cubic cm.

In essence, the volume of the original prism is;

Volume = 168 × 2.

Volume = 336cm³

Since, the original prism had a length, width, and height of consecutive integers, increasing in that order.

Therefore, length = x

width = (x +1)

height = (x +2)

Volume = x (x+1) (x+2) = 336

a) The equation is therefore;

x³ + 3x² + 2x = 336

b) Solving for the length, x is as follows;

(x-6) (x² + 9x + 56) = 0

By testing values and checking;

Upon solving the polynomial, x = 6.

c) All workings are as shown above.
