I really need help with this, I got 13.7 yards as the altitude by using the law of cosines and I found the area of the triangle by using the formula 1/2(side)(side)cos
Answer:
The length of the altitude is 9.3 yards and
The area of the triangle Δ UVW is 139.3 yd².
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
WU = 22 yd
WV = 30 yd
∠ UWV = 25°
To Find:
Altitude, UM = ?
area of the Δ UVW = ?
Construction:
Draw UM perpendicular to WV, that is altitude UM to WV.
Solution:
In right triangle Δ UWM if we apply Sine to angle W we get
[tex]\sin W = \frac{\textrm{side opposite to angle W}}{Hypotenuse}\\ \sin W=\frac{UM}{UW} \\[/tex]
substituting the values we get
[tex]\sin 25 = \frac{UM}{22}\\0.422 = \frac{UM}{22} \\UM = 0.422\times 22\\UM = 9.284\ yd[/tex]
Therefore, the altitude from U to WV is UM = 9.3 yd.(rounded to nearest tenth)
Now for area we have formula
[tex]\textrm{area of the triangle UVW} = \frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Altitude \\\textrm{area of the triangle UVW} = \frac{1}{2}\times VW \times UM\\=\frac{1}{2}\times 30\times 9.284\\ =139.26\ yd^{2}[/tex]
The area of the triangle Δ UVW is 139.3 yd². (rounded to nearest tenth)

How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player? Solve on paper. Then check your answer on Zearn. inches of fabric were used per player.
Answer:
Glen uses 15.65 inches fabrics for headbands and 9.68 inches for each player
Explanation:
Given the fabric used are:
For headbands, 641.65 inches for 41 people (39 players and 2 coach)
Therefore, applying the concept of unitary method
41 people = 641.65 inches
1 person = [tex]\frac{641.65}{41} inches[/tex]= 15.65 inches
For wristbands, 377.52 inches for 39 players
39 players = 377.52 inches
1 player = [tex]\frac{377.52}{39} inches[/tex] = 9.68 inches
Therefore, Glen uses 15.65 inches fabrics for headbands and 9.68 inches for each player

Which is one of the binomial factors of the polynomial x^3+3x-2x-8?
a. x-1
b. x+1
c. x-2
d. x+2
Answer:
x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
A factor of a polynomial can be thought of as the value of x at which the polynomial is equal to zero.
So, you can use the values in the options given and put them in the polynomial from the question.
for example: try, part a) x-1, here x=1 since the factor is x-1=0
put this value in the polynomial to see if it results to zero.
[tex](1)^3 + 3(1)^2 - 2(1) - 8\\ -6[/tex]
so this isn't the answer.
now try, part d) x + 2, here, x = -2
[tex](-2)^3 + 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2) - 8\\ 0[/tex]
you'll see this is the factor!
Answer:
d. x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is essentially asking which of -2, -1, 1, 2 is a zero of the polynomial. All of them are plausible, because all are factors of -8, the constant term.
So, we don't have much choice but to try them. That means we evaluate the function to see if any of these values of x make it be zero.
±1:
The value 1 is easy to substitute for x, as it makes all of the x-terms equal to their coefficient. Essentially, you add all of the coefficients. Doing that gives ...
1 +3 -2 -8 = -6
Similarly, the value -1 is easy to substitute for x, as it makes all odd-degree terms equal to the opposite of their coefficient. Here, ...
f(-1) = -1 +3 -(-2) -8 = -4
Neither one of these values (-1, +1) is a zero of the polynomial, so choices A and B are eliminated.
__
(x-2):
To see if this is a factor, we need to see if x=2 is a zero. Evaluation of a polynomial is sometimes easier when it is written in Horner form:
((x +3)x -2)x -8
Substituting x=2, we get ...
((2 +3)2 -2)2 -8 = (8)2 -8 = 8 . . . not zero
This tells us there is a zero between x=1 and x=2, but that is not what the question is asking.
__
(x+2):
We can similarly evaluate the function for x=-2 to see if (x+2) is a factor.
((-2 +3)(-2) -2)(-2) -8 = (-4)(-2) -8 = 0
Since x=-2 makes the function zero, and it makes the factor (x+2) equal to zero, (x+2) is a factor of the polynomial.
So, the factor (x+2) is a factor of the given polynomial.

1. Write the cost function.
2. Write the revenue function.
3. Determine the break-even point. Make sure your answer is an ordered pair.
4. This means that when the company produces and sells the break-even number of
canoes: a. there is less money coming in than going out b. the money coming in
equals the money going out c. there is more money coming in than going out d.
there is not enough information
Please explain how to work all of this out.
Answer:1) $40x 2)$80x 3) 500units 4)b
Step-by-step explanation:
For the cost function, which is the amount used for production, we are told to use x and number of canoes produced, and canoe is produced at $40 per canoe, multiplying both
So production cost is $40x
And each canoe is sold at $80 per canoe, multiplying with no of canoes
so revenue is $80x
The break even cost happens when the amount of money put into the business equals the amount of revenue got, so total amount of money put into the business is the addition of the fixed cost and production cost of the canoes which is $20,000 + $40x (1)
And the revenue cost is 80x (2)
So equating (1) and (2) together, we find the value of x to reach the break even point
20000 + 40x = 80x
20000 = 80x - 40x
20000 = 40x
20000/40 = x
x = 500 units
I've already explained the answer to 4 being option b, because that's the fact we used to solve the amount of units to produce and sell to reach the break even point

Step-by-step explanation:
Ashley is making lemonade. The recipe she is using calls for $\frac{3}{4}$ cup of water. Ashley wants to make five times the amount of lemonade that the recipe calls for. She mistakenly uses $4$ cups of water. If $x$ is the number of cups of water Ashley is supposed to use and $y$ is the number of cups of water she actually uses, what is $x-y$? Express your answer as a decimal.
Answer:
x - y = - 0.25 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x : The number of cups of water Ashley is supposed to use
y : The number of cups of water she actually uses
The actual measurement of water for 1 glass lemonade = 3/ 4 cup
So, the measurement of water for 5 glass lemonade
= 5 x ( Measure of water for 1 glass) = [tex]5 \times (\frac{3}{4})[/tex]
The amount of water Ashley actually uses for 5 glass lemonade = 4 cups
⇒ [tex]x = 5 \times (\frac{3}{4})[/tex] = 3. 75 cups
and y = 4 cups
So, x - y = 3.75 cups - 4 cups = -0.25 cups.
Hence, she used the amount 0.25 cups water extra while making 5 glass lemonades according to the given recipe.
To find x-y, subtract the amount of water Ashley actually uses from the amount she is supposed to use.
Explanation:To find the value of x-y, we need to find the difference between the amount of water Ashley is supposed to use (x) and the amount of water she actually uses (y).
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of water. Since Ashley wants to make five times the amount of lemonade, she needs to use 5 times the amount of water, which is 5 times 3/4 = 15/4 cups of water.
However, Ashley mistakenly uses 4 cups of water, so y = 4. Therefore, x-y = 15/4 - 4.
A farmer has 336 feet of fencing to enclose 2 adjacent rectangular pig pens sharing a common side. What dimensions should be used for each pig pen so that the enclosed area will be a maximum? The two adjacent pens have the same dimensions.
Final answer:
To maximize the enclosed area, each pig pen should have a length of 84 feet and a width of 168 feet.
Explanation:
To find the dimensions of the pig pens that will maximize the enclosed area, we can use the quadratic formula. Let's assume the length of each pen is 'x' feet. Since the two pens share a common side, the combined length of the pens will be '2x' feet. The total length of the fencing, including both sides and the common side, will then be '2x' + 'x' + 'x' = '4x' feet.
According to the problem, the total length of the fencing is 336 feet. Therefore, we can write the equation '4x = 336'. To find the value of 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 4: 'x = 84'.
So, each pen should have a length of 84 feet and a width of 2x the length, which is '2 × 84 = 168' feet.
Final Answer:
The dimensions for each pig pen that would yield the maximum enclosed area are 84 feet in length and 56 feet in width.
Explanation:
To solve this optimization problem, we can use calculus. Let's denote:
- The length of each pig pen by L
- The width of each pig pen by W
- The total amount of fencing by P, which is 336 feet
Since the two pig pens share a common side, the amount of fencing will be used for 3 widths and 2 lengths. So our perimeter constraint is:
3W + 2L = P
Since we know P is 336 feet, we can write this as:
3W + 2L = 336
We want to maximize the area, A, of the two pens combined. Since the two pens are adjacent and identical, this area can be represented by:
A = 2 * (L * W)
We want to maximize A with respect to our constraint.
First, let's express L in terms of W using our perimeter constraint:
2L = 336 - 3W
L = (336 - 3W) / 2
Now, we can express the area solely in terms of W:
A = 2 * (L * W)
A = 2 * ((336 - 3W) / 2 * W)
A = (336W - 3W^2)
To maximize A, we take the derivative of A with respect to W and set it to zero:
dA/dW = 336 - 6W
Setting dA/dW to zero gives us:
336 - 6W = 0
6W = 336
W = 336 / 6
W = 56
Now we have the width of each pig pen. Next, we'll use the value of W to find L:
L = (336 - 3W) / 2
L = (336 - 3 * 56) / 2
L = (336 - 168) / 2
L = 168 / 2
L = 84
So the dimensions of each rectangular pen that will maximize the area with 336 feet of fencing are:
- Length (L) = 84 feet
- Width (W) = 56 feet
We should verify this solution is a maximum by checking the second derivative of the area function:
d²A/dW² = -6
Since the second derivative is negative, our critical point W = 56 feet corresponds to a maximum. Therefore, the dimensions for each pig pen that would yield the maximum enclosed area are 84 feet in length and 56 feet in width.

true or false, and explain: (a) If a die is rolled three times, the chance of getting at least one ace is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 1/2. (b) If a coin is tossed twice, the chance of getting at least one head is 100%.
Answer:
a.False
b.False
Step-by-step explanation:
a.Total possible outcomes of a die=1,2,3,4,5,6=6
Probability of getting an ace=[tex]\frac{favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}[/tex]
Favorable cases=1
Probability of getting an ace=[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
A die is rolled three times .
We are given that the probability of getting at least one ace is
[tex]\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
There are using addition rule but it is not correct because addition rule used when the events are mutually exclusive .
The events are mutually exclusive when the events cannot occur at the same time.
Since it is possible to obtain one ace on more than one roll of a die.
Therefore, the events are not mutually exclusive.
Hence, the given statement is false.
b.Total cases in one coin=2(H,T)
Number of cases in favor of head=1
The probability of getting on head=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The coin is tossed twice.
We are given that
If a coin is tossed twice ,the chance of getting at least on head is 100%.
There are using addition rule but it is not correct because addition rule used when the events are mutually exclusive .
The events are mutually exclusive when the events cannot occur at the same time.
Since it is possible to obtain head on both tosses of coin.
Therefore, the events are not mutually exclusive.
Hence, the given statement is false.
Both statements are false. For the dice rolls, the chance of getting at least one ace is calculated by finding the complementary probability. For the coin tosses, the chance of getting at least one head is 3 in 4, not 100%.
Explanation:The question revolves around basic probability concepts applied to dice and coin tossing. Firstly, part (a) of the question is false. When a die is rolled three times, the chances of getting at least one ace (or a one) are not simply the sum of the individual probabilities. Events are independent, meaning the outcome of one roll doesn't affect the other.
The correct approach is to calculate the probability of not getting an ace in all three rolls (5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6) and subtract this from 1 to get the complementary probability of at least one ace.
For part (b), the statement is also false. When a coin is tossed twice, the chance of getting at least one head is not 100%. To find the correct probability, we can list all possible outcomes (HH, HT, TH, TT) and calculate that there is a 3 in 4 chance of getting at least one head.
A central angle in a circle has a measure of 180 The length of the arc it intercepts is 8 in.
What is the radius of the circle?
**Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to ONE decimal place.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An arc is the length along the circumference of a circle that is bounded by 2 radii. I
A central angle in a circle has a measure of 180. This means that the arc subtends an angle of 180 degrees at the center of the circle.
The length of the arc is 8 inches
Formula for the length of an arc is expressed as
Length of arc = #/360 × 2πr
r = radius of the circle
Length of arc = 8 inches
# 180 degrees
π = constant = 3.14
Substituting,
8 = 180/360 ×2 × 3.142 × r
8 = 3.14r
r = 8/3.14 = 2.56 inches
Suppose the time to process a loan application follows a uniform distribution over the range of 8 to 13 days. What is the probability that a randomly selected loan application takes longer than 12 days to process?
Answer: 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that , the probability density function for uniform distribution is given buy :-
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{b-a}[/tex], where x is uniformly distributed in interval [a,b].
Given : The time to process a loan application follows a uniform distribution over the range of 8 to 13 days.
Let x denotes the time to process a loan application.
So the probability distribution function of x for interval[8,13] will be :-
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{1}{13-8}=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
Now , the probability that a randomly selected loan application takes longer than 12 days to process will be :-
[tex]\int^{13}_{12}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{13}_{12}\dfrac{1}{5}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}[x]^{13}_{12}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}(13-12)=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2[/tex]
Hence, the probability that a randomly selected loan application takes longer than 12 days to process = 0.2
The probability a loan application takes no longer than 12 days is 0.1666
Range = 8 to 13 daysMaximum number of days = 12The probability a loan takes no longer than 12 daysLet x = time to process a loan application
for a uniform distribution (8, 13)
[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{6} ; 8 < x < 13[/tex]
The probability is
[tex]Pr[x > 12] = \int\limits^1^3_1_2 {f(x)} \, dx = 1/6\int_1_2^1^3 dx = \frac{13-12}{6} = 1/6[/tex]

Answer:
Co-ordinates of point N is (3,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given point:
Endpoint K(7,-2)
Mid-point of segment KN (5,-4)
Let endpoint [tex]N[/tex] have co-ordinates [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Using midpoint formula:
[tex]M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]
Where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] are co-ordinates of the endpoint of the segment.
Plugging in values to find the midpoint of segment KN.

[tex]\frac{-2+y_2}{2}\times 2=-4\times 2[/tex]
[tex]-2+y_2=-8[/tex]
Adding both sides by 2.
[tex]-2+y_2+2=-8+2[/tex]

You have one type of nut that sells for $2.80/lb and another type of nut that sells for $9.60/lb. You would like to have 20.4 lbs of a nut mixture that sells for $6.60/lb. How much of each nut will you need to obtain the desired mixture?
Answer:11.396Ibs of nuts that cost $9.60/Ib and 9.014Ibs that cost $2.80/Ib
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find the cost of the supposed mixture we are to get by selling it $6.60/Ib which weighs 20.41Ibs
Which is 6.6 x 20.41 = $134.64
Now we label the amount of mixture we want to get with x and y
x = amount of nuts that cost $2.8/Ib
y = amount of nuts that cost $9.6/Ib
Now we know the amount of mixture needed is 20.41Ibs
So x + y = 20.41Ibs
And then since the price of the mixture to be gotten overall is $134.64
We develop an equation with x and y for that same amount
We know the first type of nut is $2.8/Ib
So for x amount we have 2.8x
For the second type of nut that is $9.6/Ib
For y amount we have 9.6y
So adding these to equate to $134.64
2.8x + 9.6y = 134.64
So we have two simultaneous equations
x + y = 20.41 (1)
2.8x + 9.6y = 57.148 (2)
We can solve either using elimination or factorization method
I'm using elimination method
Multiplying the first equation by 2.8 so that the coefficient of x for both equations will be the same
2.8x + 2.8y = 57.148
2.8x + 9.6y = 134.64
Subtracting both equations
-6.8y = -77.492
Dividing both sides by -6.8
y = -77.492/-6.8 =11.396
y = 11.396Ibs which is the amount of nuts that cost $9.6/Ib
Putting y = 11.396 in (1)
x + y = 20.41 (1)
x +11.396 = 20.41
Subtract 11.396 from both sides
x +11.396-11.396 = 20.41-11.396
x = 9.014Ibs which is the amount of nuts that cost $2.8/Ibs
To obtain the desired mixture, we set up a system of equations. However, there is no solution to this problem.
Explanation:To find the amount of each type of nut needed to obtain the desired mixture, we can set up a system of equations.
Let x be the amount of the first type of nut (selling for $2.80/lb), and y be the amount of the second type of nut (selling for $9.60/lb).
We have the following equations:
x + y = 20.4 (total weight of the mixture)2.80x + 9.60y = 6.60(20.4) (total cost of the mixture)Multiplying equation 1 by 2.80 and subtracting equation 2 from it, we can eliminate x and solve for y:
2.80x + 2.80y - (2.80x + 9.60y) = 56.16 - 6.60(20.4)
Simplifying the equation gives:
6.80y = 56.16 - 133.92
6.80y = -77.76
y = -77.76/6.80 ≈ -11.44
Since we cannot have a negative amount of nuts, the value of y is not valid.
Therefore, there is no solution to this problem. It is not possible to obtain a nut mixture with the given requirements.

Find the total amount a college student has in a savings account if $5 comma 000 was invested and earned 7% compounded semiannually for 9 years. Use Upper A equals Upper P (1 plus StartFraction n Over n EndFraction )Superscript nt Baseline .
Answer:
$ 9287.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the amount formula in compound interest,
[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]
Where,
P = principal amount,
r = rate per period,
n = number of periods per year,
Here, P = $ 5,000, r = 7% = 0.07, t = 9 years, n = 2 (semiannual in a year),
Thus, the amount after 9 years,
[tex]A=5000(1+\frac{0.07}{2})^{18}[/tex]
[tex]=5000(1+0.035)^{18}[/tex]
[tex]=5000(1.035)^{18}[/tex]
= $ 9287.45
A processor of carrots cuts the green top off each carrot, washes the carrots, and inserts six to a package. Twenty packages are inserted in a box for shipment. Each box of carrots should weigh 20.4 pounds. The processor knows that the standard deviation of box weight is 0.5 pound. The processor wants to know if the current packing process meets the 20.4 weight standard. How many boxes must the processor sample to be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound?
Answer:
24 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
The processor knows that the standard deviation of box weight is 0.5 pound
[tex]\sigma = 0.5[/tex]
We are supposed to find How many boxes must the processor sample to be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound
Formula of Error=[tex]z \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
Since we are given that The estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound
So, [tex]z \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=0.2[/tex]
z at 95% confidence level is 1.96
[tex]1.96 \times \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n}}=0.2[/tex]
[tex]1.96 \times \frac{0.5}{0.2}=\sqrt{n}[/tex]
[tex]4.9=\sqrt{n}[/tex]
[tex](4.9)^2=n[/tex]
[tex]24.01=n[/tex]
Hence the processor must sample 24 boxes to be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound
To be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound, the processor must sample approximately 25 boxes, as the calculation using the sample size estimation formula indicates.
To determine how many boxes must be sampled to be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound, we use the formula for the sample size in estimation:
n = (Z·σ/E)^2
Where:
n is the sample sizeZ is the z-score corresponding to the desired confidence levelσ is the population standard deviationE is the margin of errorFor a 95% confidence level, the z-score (Z) is approximately 1.96. Given that the population standard deviation (σ) is 0.5 pound and the desired margin of error (E) is 0.2 pound, the formula becomes:
n = (1.96· 0.5/0.2)^2
Calculating:
n = (1.96· 2.5)^2
n = (4.9)^2
n = 24.01
The processor must sample approximately 25 boxes (since we round up to the nearest whole number when it comes to sample size) to be 95% confident that the estimate of the population mean is within 0.2 pound.
A standard die is rolled 360 times in hopes of rolling a 5 or 6. So the probability of success is p=1/3. Find the standard deviation of the binomial distribution.
8.9
80.0
119.9
0.2
Answer: option 1 is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of times for which the die was rolled is 360. It means that our sample size, n is 360.
The probability of rolling a 5 or a 6 is 1/3. It means that probability of success,p = 1/3. The probability of failure,q is
1 - probability of success. It becomes
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
The formula for standard deviation is expressed as
√npq. Therefore
Standard deviation = √360 × 1/3 × 2/3
= √80 = 8.9443
Standard deviation is approximately 8.9

A spaceship traveled 3 4 of a light-year and stopped at a space station. Then it traveled 1 12 of a light-year further to a planet. How far did the spaceship travel in all?
Final answer:
The total distance the spaceship traveled is 5/6 of a light-year, which was obtained by adding 3/4 and 1/12 light years together after finding a common denominator for the fractions.
Explanation:
The student's question is about calculating the total distance a spaceship travels based on two separate distances given in light years. To find this total distance, we will perform an addition of the two distances.
First, the spaceship traveled 3/4 of a light-year to a space station. Then, it traveled an additional 1/12 of a light-year to a planet.
To get the total distance traveled, we simply add the two distances:
(3/4) light years + (1/12) light yearsTo add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 12 in this case:
(9/12) light years + (1/12) light yearsNow, when we add these fractions, we get:
(9/12 + 1/12) light years = (10/12) light yearsWe can simplify this fraction to:
(5/6) light yearsTherefore, the spaceship traveled a total of 5/6 of a light-year.
In the first equation in the system of equations, y represents the money collected from selling sweatshirts. In the second equation, y represents the money spent to produce x sweatshirts with team logos on them for a professional sports league.
y=35x; y=-0.05(x-400)^2+9,492
What does the solution of the system represent in this context?
The solution to the system of equations represents the break-even point for the production and sale of sweatshirts, indicating the number of units that must be sold to cover production costs.
Explanation:The solution of the system of equations y=35x and y=-0.05(x-400)^2+9,492 represents the break-even point where the money collected from selling x number of sweatshirts equals the money spent to produce those sweatshirts. In this context, solving the system means finding the number of sweatshirts (x) that need to be sold at $35 each to exactly cover the production costs described by the second equation.
This involves first substituting the expression for y from the first equation into the second equation, then solving for x to find the exact point where income equals expenses. Once x is found, it can be plugged back into either equation to verify the break-even amount of money (y).
A rectangular area adjacent to a river is fenced in; no fence is needed on the river side. The enclosed area is 1500 square feet. Fencing for the side parallel to the river is $ 10 per foot, and fencing for the other two sides is $ 3 per foot. The four corner posts are $ 20 each. Let x be the length of one of the sides perpendicular to the river.
a) Write a function C(x) that describes the cost of the project.
b) What is the domain of C?
Answer:
a) C(x) = 15000/x + 6x +80
b) Domain of C(x) { R x>0 }
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
Enclosed area = 1500 ft² = x*y from which y = 1500 / x (a) where x is perpendicular to the river
Cost = cost of sides of fenced area perpendicular to the river + cost of side parallel to river + cost of 4 post then
Cost = 10*y + 2*3*x + 4*20 and accoding to (a) y = 1500/x
Then
C(x) = 10* ( 1500/x ) + 6*x + 80
C(x) = 15000/x + 6x +80
Domain of C(x) { R x>0 }
The function for the cost of the project depending on x, a side perpendicular to the river, is C(x) = $15000/x + $6x + $80. The domain of this function, representing all possible lengths of x, is from 0 to the square root of 1500, exclusive on the lower end, inclusive on the upper end.
Explanation:For part a, we can set up the function C(x) as follows:
Given that the area of the rectangle is 1500 sq. ft, the length of the side parallel to the river will be 1500/x.
The cost of the side parallel to the river: $10*(1500/x) = $15000/xThe cost of the side perpendicular to the river: $3*x*2=$6x (since there are two such sides).The cost of the four corner posts: 4*$20=$80.Therefore, combining all these costs, your C(x) = $15000/x + $6x + $80.
As for part b, the domain of C(x) is the set of all possible values of x. Since x represents the length, it must be greater than zero but less than or equal the length of a side of the rectangular area where the length of the side is limited by the area of 1500 square feet. Hence, the domain of C is (0, sqrt(1500)].

A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. Its diameter is 15 ft, and its height is 44 ft. What is the volume of the silo?
Use the value 3.14 for , and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
Answer:
Volume of the silo is 7772 cubic ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A grain Silo is cylindrical in shape.
Height (h) = 44 ft.
Diameter (d) = 15 ft.
[tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex]
We need to find the Volume of silo.
We will first find the radius.
Radius can be given as half of diameter.
hence Radius (r) = [tex]\frac{d}{2} =\frac{15}{2}=7.5ft.[/tex]
Since Silo is in Cylindrical Shape we will find the volume of cylinder.
Now We know that Volume of cylinder can be calculate by multiplying π with square of the radius and height.
Volume of Cylinder = [tex]\pi r^2h = 3.14\times(7.5)^2\times44 = 7771.5 ft^3[/tex]
Rounding to nearest whole number we get;
Hence,Volume of Silo is [tex]7772 \ ft^3[/tex].
The volume of the cylindrical grain silo with a diameter of 15 ft and a height of 44 ft is approximately 7,853 cubic feet.
Explanation:The volume of a cylindrical grain silo can be found using the formula V = πr²h, where V is volume, π (pi) is approximately 3.14, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is the height.
To calculate the volume, you first need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by two. The diameter is given as 15 ft, so the radius is 15 ft / 2 = 7.5 ft. Using the volume formula, the volume V is:
π × (7.5 ft)² × 44 ft
Performing the multiplication:
3.14 × (7.5 ft × 7.5 ft) × 44 ft
3.14 × 56.25 ft² × 44 ft = 7,853 ft³ (to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the volume of the silo is approximately 7,853 cubic feet.
