The number of plastic straws produced by a machine varies directly as the amount of time the machine is operating. If the machine produces 20,000 straws in 8 hours, how many straws can it produce in 50 hours? 

Answers

Answer 1

Given is the direct relationship between number of produced straws and the hours of operating machine.

Given that 20,000 straws are produced in 8 hours of machine's operation.

Let's assume that 'x' straws are produced in 50 hours of machine's operation.

Using the concept of proportions, x straws in 50 hours would be proportional to 2000 straws in 8 hours.

[tex] \frac{X \;straws}{50 \;hours} =\frac{20,000 \;straws}{8 \;hours} \\\\\frac{X \;straws}{20,000 \;straws} =\frac{50 \;hours}{8 \;hours} \\\\\frac{X}{20,000} =\frac{50}{8} \\\\Cross \;multiplying \\\\8*X = 50*20000 \\\\8X = 1,000,000 \\\\\frac{8X}{8} =\frac{1,000,000}{8} \\\\X=125,000 \;straws [/tex]

Hence, total 125,000 straws would be produced in 50 hours.

for the function f(x)= -(x + 1)^2 + 4 identify the vertex, domain, and range

Answers

Vertex (-1, 4)

Domain = All real numbers

Range = All y values such that y ≤ 4

Answer:

Vertex = (-1, 4)

Domain = All real numbers i.e. R

Range = (-∞, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the quadratic equation:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Here, Vertex = (h,k)

Thus, Vertex = (-1, 4)

Domain = All real numbers i.e. R

Range = All real numbers less than or equal to 4 i.e. (-∞, 4) or f = ≤ 4.

Further, the possible values of x are called Domain.

And, the possible output we get as y is called Range.

What is the diameter of a sphere that has a surface area of 1041 square inches?

A) 9.1

B) 22.5

C) 40.3

D) 18.2

Answers

The answer is 18.2
I got the answer by solving it
1st you need equation for the surface area of a sphere which is:
A=4*π*r^2
Where r=radius
r = diameter/2 or d/2

So
area of a sphere = 4*π*(d/2)^2

Plug in the area given
1041 = 4*π*(d/2)^2

Solve for d
1041/(4* π)=82.84

82.84 = (d/2)^2

Sqrt(82.84)=d/2

9.10=d/2

9.10*2= d

18.2=d
So the answer is 18.2 in





The length of a rectangle is 4 inches less than twice its width. If the area of the rectangle is 70 square inches, what are its demensions

Answers

By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:
 A = w * l
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 70 = w * (2w-4)
 Rewriting we have:
 70 = 2w ^ 2-4w
 2w ^ 2 - 4w - 70 = 0
 Solving the polynomial we have:
 w1 = -5
 w2 = 7
 We take the positive root because it is a dimension.
 w = 7 inches
 Then, the length will be:
 l = 2w-4
 l = 2 (7) -4
 l = 14-4
 l = 10 inches
 Answer:
 
its demensions are:
 
w = 7 inches
 
l = 10 inches
let
x-----------> the length side of rectangle
y----------> the width side of rectangle

we know that
70=x*y--------> x=70/y-----------> equation 1
x-4=2y--------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2

[70/y]-4=2y--------> multiply by y------> 70-4y=2y²----> 2y²+4y-70=0

using a graph tool ----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is 
y=5
x=70/y--------> x=70/5=14

the answer is
the dimensions are
length=14 in

O is the center of the circle. Assume that lines appear to be tangent are tangent. What is the value of x?

A. 34
B. 36.5
C. 73
D. 107

Answers

tangent lines are perpendicular to their intersection point so add 17 and 90 then subtract 107 to 180 to get {[(73)]}

Answer:

Option C. 73

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure Δ OPQ is the right angle triangle because radius is always perpendicular to the tangent drawn on the circle from an external point.

Here OQ is radius and PO is tangent.

So ∠OQP = 90°

Now sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

Therefore, ∠OPQ + ∠OQP + ∠POQ = 180°

                  17° + 90° + x° = 180°

                 107 + x = 180

                 x = 180 - 107

                 x = 73°

Option C. 73

A rectangle is a type of quadrilateral that has its parallel sides equal to each other and all the four vertices are equal to 90 degrees.

Given that:

Let the perimeter of rectangular swimming pool be x metres.

Then, its length =21 feet.

The width of the pool = 9 feet

The Perimeter of a rectangle =2(Length+Breadth)

According to the given condition, we have

Perimeter of a rectangle =2(Length+Breadth)

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(21+9)

Perimeter of a rectangle=2*30

Perimeter of a rectangle=60 feet

But, ​carlos swam the perimeter of a rectangular pool seven times.

Old perimeter=7*60=420  feet

Which equation represents a parabola with a focus at (0,-2) and a directrix of y=6?

Answers

Hey there!!

First, let's learn the parabola formula when the focus and the directrix is given.

Formula :

[tex]y = \frac{( x - a ) ^{2} }{ 2 ( b - k ) } + \frac{( b + k ) }{2}[/tex]

We have ,

Focus : ( 0 , -2 )

Hence, a = 0 and b = -2

And k = 6

Now, we will just have to plug in the values and find out the equation.

[tex]y = \frac{( x - 0 )^{2} }{2 ( - 2 - 6 )} + \frac{( - 2 + 6 ) }{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{x^{2} }{-16}+ 2[/tex]

Write an expression for the volume of a cylinder with a height 7in. greater than the radius.

Answers

Answer: 7 π r² + π r³

Explanation:

1) The general formula for the volumen, V, of a cylinder with radius r and height h is:

V = π r² h

2) Now you have the condition that the height is 7 inches greater than the radius, that is:

h = 7 + r

3) Replace h with its expression

V = π r² (7 + r)

4) Expand the product (use distributive property):

V = π (7r²) + π r³ = 7 π r² + π r³

Write an equation to match each graph.

Solution:

The first graph is V shaped graph centered at origin, (0,0) and the graph is not shifted or translated. So, the equation of first graph is,

y=|x|

The second graph is V shaped graph centered at (1,0) and y=|x| is horizontally shifted right by 1 unit. So, the equation of second graph is,

y=|x-1|

The third  graph is also V shaped but, it is inverted V graph centered at (0,1) . As, the graph is inverted V So, the graph must have y=-|x|. But, as the center is (0,1). So, the graph is shifted up by 1 unit. So, the equation of the third graph is,

y=-|x|+1

The fourth graph is shifted V graph, whose center is (1,-1). So, y=|x| is shifted right by 1 unit and down by 1 unit. So, the equation of fourth graph is,

y=|x-1|-1

The center of fifth graph is (-1,0), So, y=|x| graph is shifted left by 1 unit. So, the equation of fifth graph is

 r = 20 * t + 500
 For Willa:

 Equating the equations:
 20 * t + 500 = 40 * t
