when the height of a rectangular prism was halved, the volume was 168 cubic cm. if the original prism had a length, width, and height of consecutive integers, increasing in that order,

(a) write and equation to solve for the length, x, of the original figure,
(b) solve length, x,
(c) show that the equation is unique
show all work.​

Answers

Answer 1

a) The equation is therefore; x³ + 3x² + 2x = 336

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.

I'll do the first two parts to get you started.

=====================================================

Part (i)

We can show that the operation [tex]\nabla[/tex] is not commutative by picking two random and different real numbers for a,b. In other words, I'm using a counter-example.

Let's say we go for a = 1 and b = 2

[tex]a \nabla b = \frac{3a+b}{5} - 1\\\\1 \nabla 2 = \frac{3*1+2}{5} - 1\\\\1 \nabla 2 = \frac{5}{5} - 1\\\\1 \nabla 2 = 1 - 1\\\\1 \nabla 2 = 0\\\\[/tex]

Now let's swap the values. We'll try a = 2 and b = 1

[tex]a \nabla b = \frac{3a+b}{5} - 1\\\\2 \nabla 1 = \frac{3*2+1}{5} - 1\\\\2 \nabla 1 = \frac{7}{5} - 1\\\\2 \nabla 1 = 1.4 - 1\\\\2 \nabla 1 = 0.4\\\\[/tex]

We can see that [tex]1 \nabla 2[/tex] and [tex]2 \nabla 1[/tex] are not the same value. In general, [tex]a \nabla b \ne b \nabla a[/tex] Therefore, the operation [tex]\nabla[/tex] is not commutative.

The only time [tex]a \nabla b = b \nabla a\\\\[/tex] is true is when [tex]a = b[/tex], since,

[tex]\frac{3a+b}{5}-1 = \frac{3b+a}{5}-1\\\\\frac{3a+a}{5}-1 = \frac{3a+a}{5}-1\\\\\frac{4a}{5}-1 = \frac{4a}{5}-1\\\\[/tex]

It's when [tex]a \ne b[/tex] is where the operation becomes noncommutative.

Another way to arrive at the [tex]a = b[/tex] condition is to solve the original equation for either 'a' or b.

=====================================================

Part (ii)

Using the previous part as inspiration, we'll do a counter-example to show that the operation is not associative. Pick 3 random values for a,b,c. Here are the values I'll pick.

a = 1b = 2c = 3

Then,

[tex]d = b \nabla c = \frac{3b+c}{5}-1 = \frac{3*2+3}{5}-1 = 0.8\\\\a \nabla (b \nabla c) = a \nabla d = \frac{3a+d}{5}-1 = \frac{3*1+0.8}{5}-1 = -0.24\\[/tex]

Next, we can say:

[tex]d = a \nabla b = \frac{3a+b}{5}-1 = \frac{3*1+2}{5}-1 = 0\\\\(a \nabla b) \nabla c = d \ \nabla c = \frac{3d+c}{5}-1 = \frac{3*0+3}{5}-1 = -0.4[/tex]

Let's compare the two outputs:

[tex]a \nabla (b \nabla c) = -0.24\\\\(a \nabla b) \nabla c = -0.4[/tex]

They don't match up, so [tex]a \nabla (b \nabla c) \ne (a \nabla b) \nabla c[/tex] when (a,b,c) = (1,2,3).

In general, the operation is not associative in R.

Cynthia gave 15 of her toys to her little sister. If she had 25 toys, how many did she give away?

Answers

5

she gave her sister 5 toys.

Correction to the question - It is not 15 it 1/5th.

According to the given question Cynthia had 25 toys and she gave 1/5th of her toys to her little sister.

So, The total number of toys is 25 to find 1/5th of it we need to multiply the total number of toys she had and the fraction she gave.

(25 x 1/5) = 5. so the number of toys she gave away to her little sister is 5.

The set-up cost for a machine that attaches snaps on clothing is $1,100. After set-up,
it costs $0.12 for each snap to be attached. A newer machine has come out that has
a set-up cost of $1,520. With the new machine, it only costs $0.09 for each snap to
be attached. How many snaps would the company have to attach to make the
purchase of the newer machine worthwhile?

Answers

Answer:

14,001

Step-by-step explanation:

old machine: 1,100+.12x

new machine: 1,520+.09x

if you plug in 14,000 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780

new machine: 2,780

therefore, you need 1 over 14,000 for it to be worth it because

if you plug in 14,001 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780.12

new machine: 2,780.09

which makes the new machine $.03 cheaper at this point (and the more snaps attached, the more the new machine will be worth it)

The largest lollipop ever made had a mass of 2158.7kg and was made for a festival in Granna, Sweden on July 27, 2003, If a spherical lollipop with radius 2 cm has a mass of 50 g, what was the radius of this giant lollipop?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the density is the same for both lollipops, we can calculate what volume is required to make the 2158.7kg the same density of the smaller lollipop.  

Small Lollipop

r = 2cm

V=4 /3πr^3

V = 33.51 cm^3

Mass is 50 g in 33.51 cm^3, so the density is:

50g/(33.51 cm^3) = 1.492 g/cm^3

We have 2158.7kg in the larger lollipop.  That is 2158700 grams.

Find the volume required to contain 2158700 grams with a density of 1.492 g/cm^3.  :

       (2158700 grams)/(1.492 g/cm^3) = 1446775 cm^3

V=4 /3πr^3

1446775 cm^3 = (4/3)*π*r^3

r = 70.12 cm

find the following integrals. need help plssss

Answers

Answer:

1) -15/4

2) -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let u=4t. Then the limits become u=4(0)=0 and u=4(4)=16. Also du=4 dt upon differentiating the equation.

So the integral can be written as

Integral( 1/4 f(u) , u=0 to u=16)

We are given Integral( f(u) , u=0 to u=16) is -15. So a fourth of that is our answer for the first question.

2) Let u=t^2. Then the limits become u=(0)^2=0 and u=(4)^2=16. Also upon differentiating we obtain equation du =2 t dt.

So the integral becomes

Integral( 1/2 f(u) , u=0 to u=16).

We are given Integral( f(u) , u=0 to u=16) is -15. So a half of that is our answer for the second question.

This is an isosceles triangle. You can tell because 2 of the sides are equal and the third is not equal to either of the other two.

2x + 56 = 180                      Subtract 56 from both sides.
