Which three lengths CANNOT be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
Question 2 options:

A. 21 m, 6 m, 10 m

B. 11 m, 11 m, 12 m

C. 23 m, 17 m, 14 m

D. 5 m, 7 m, 8 m

Answers

Answer 1
The set of sides that cannot be the sides of a triangle is set A. 
The sum of two sides of a triangle must be longer than the third side, but 6 + 10 is less than 21, so it cannot be a triangle.

Answer:

      
          2
y =  -------- + 4 <------- the fourth option
      (x + 3)

Explanation:

1) Given function:

y = f(x) = 2 / x

2) Translatiing 3 units to the left is making f(x + 3), so that implies:

y = 2 / (x + 3)

3) Translating 4 units up is making f(x + 3) + 4, so that implies:
      
          2
y =  -------- + 4
      (x + 3)

Which is the fourth option.


Question 2.  simplify

t^2 + 2t - 24
----------------
  t^2 - 36

Answer: fourth option

t - 4
------ , with t ≠ - 6 and t ≠ 6.
t + 6

Explanation:

1) Factor the numerator:

t^2 + 2t - 24 = (t + 6) (t - 4)

2) Factor the denominator:

t^2 - 36 = (t + 6) (t - 6)

3) Rewrite the fraction:

 (t + 6) (t - 4)
-------------------
(t + 6) (t - 6)

4) Cancel the factor t + 6 which is in both numerator and denominator, which you can do only y t + 6 ≠ 0 => t ≠ -6.

 t - 4
-------
 t - 6

That is the simplified expression, with the restrictions that t ≠ - 6  and t ≠ 6, because the denominator cannot be 0.

Question 3. Find the product of:

x^2 + 7x + 10     x^2 - 3x - 18
------------------ * ---------------------

Answer: the fhird option:


(x + 5) (x - 6)
------------------
        x - 1

with x ≠ -3, x ≠ - 2, and x ≠ 1.

Explanation:

1) Factor x^2 + 7x + 10

x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 5) (x + 2)

2) Factor x^2 - 3x - 18

x^2 - 3x - 18 = (x - 6)(x + 3)

3) Factor x^2 + x - 2

x^2 + x - 2 = (x + 2) (x - 1)

4) Rewrite the given expression using the factors:

  (x + 5) (x + 2) (x - 6) (x + 3)
--------------------------------------
     (x + 3) (x + 2) (x - 1)

5) Cancel the factors that appear on both the numerator and denominator:

 (x + 5) (x - 6)
------------------
        x - 1

The restrictions are those values of x that make any factor that is or was in the denominator: x ≠ -3, x ≠ - 2, and x ≠ 1.

             n + 1
          -----------
             n + 3

Answer: option 4.

       n - 4
------------------
(n - 5) ( n + 3)

Explanation

1) Factor n^2 - 2n - 15


n^2 - 2n - 15 = (n - 5)(n + 3)

2) rewrite the expression:

             n - 4
    ---------------------
      (n - 5) ( n + 3)
----------------------------
              n + 1
            ----------
              n + 3

3) Convert (n + 1) / (n + 3) into its reciprocal (n + 3) / (n + 1), and multiply instead of dividing.


             n - 4              n + 3
    ---------------------  * --------
      (n - 5) ( n + 3)      ( n + 1)

4) Cancel n + 3

       n - 4
------------------
(n - 5) ( n + 3)


That is the simplest form.

Question 5. Find the difference

Answer: second choice

--------
 n + 4

Explanation:


1) given:

n^2 + 3n + 2        2n
----------------- -   -------
n^2 + 6n + 8       n + 4

2) factor the two quadratic trinomials

n^2 + 3n + 2 = (n + 2) ( n + 1)

n^2 + 6n + 8 = (n + 4) (n + 2)

3) Rewrite the expression:

   (n + 2) (n + 1)          2n
-----------------------  -  -------
   (n + 4 ) (n + 2)       n + 4

4) cancel the factor n + 2

   n + 4         n + 4

5) subract the fractions. They have the same denominator.

  n + 1 - 2n           1 - n
--------------- =     ----------
    n + 4                n + 4

And that is the simples form.

Question 6.  Problem

Irina paints 1 room in 9 hours
Paulo paints 1 room in 8 hours

How long working together?

Answer:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1, x ≈ 4.24 hours

Explanation:

1) In the time x, Irina will paint x / 9 parts of the room

2) Paulo will paint (in the same time) x / 8 parts of the same room

3) The total painted is 1 room.

So the equation is:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1

4) The solution of that equation is:

[8x + 9x ] / (9*8) = 1

=> 8x + 9x = 72

=> 17x = 72

=> x = 72 / 17

=> x ≈ 4.24 hours

What is the value of n? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that  when two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal. Thus, using this property, we have

[tex](n+8)5=(n+4)7[/tex]

⇒[tex]5n+40=7n+28[/tex]

⇒[tex]40-28=7n-5n[/tex]

⇒[tex]12=2n[/tex]

⇒[tex]n=6[/tex]

Thus, the value of n is 6.

Answer:

[tex]n=6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the value of n.

We can see that two chords of our given circle are intersecting inside it, so we will use intersecting chords theorem to solve for n.

Intersecting chords theorem states that when two chords of a circle intersect inside the circle, then product of the segments of both chords is equal.

Using intersecting chords theorem we can set an equation as:

[tex]5(n+8)=7(n+4)[/tex]

Using distributive property [tex]a(b+c)=a*b+a*c[/tex] we will get,

[tex]5*n+5*8=7*n+7*4[/tex]

[tex]5n+40=7n+28[/tex]

Subtracting 40 and 7n from both sides we will get,

[tex]5n-7n+40-40=7n-7n+28-40[/tex]

[tex]-2n=-12[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -2 we will get,

[tex]\frac{-2n}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]n=6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of n is 6.

In a "torture test" a light switch is turned on and off until it fails. if the probability that the switch will fail any time it is turned on or off is 0.001, what is the probability that the switch will fail after it has been turned on or off 1,200 times?

Answers

The probability that the switch does not fail is 1-0.001=0.999. In order to switch the lights off and on 1200 times, we need to press the switch 2400 times. Each event is assumed independent from the others; when we press the switch, its probability that it will fail is not influenced by the previous pressing of the switch. Thus, the probability that it won't fail after 2 times is 0.999*0.999=0.999^2. Similarly, we get that the required probability is : [tex]P=0.999^{2400}=0.091[/tex]
This is a relatively low probability. We see that even if the probability that the switch fails one time is very low, after many repetitions it becomes quite probable that the switch will fail at least one time.

Final answer:

The probability of a light switch failing after 1,200 operations can be calculated by first finding the likelihood of it not failing across those operations with the formula [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex], and then subtracting that result from 1.

Explanation:

The question asks about the probability that a light switch will fail after being turned on or off 1,200 times, given that the probability it will fail on any given operation is 0.001. This can be approached by calculating the probability that the switch does not fail in all 1,200 operations and then subtracting that probability from 1.

To calculate the probability of the switch not failing in a single operation, we subtract the failure probability from 1: 1 - 0.001 = 0.999. The probability of the switch not failing in all 1,200 operations is [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex].

Finally, the probability of the switch failing at least once in 1,200 operations is [tex]1 - 0.999^{1200}[/tex]. When you calculate this, it gives the probability of failure after 1,200 operations.

Answers

The angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

What is the meaning of the angle of depression?

Its an angle that is formed with the horizontal line if the line of sight is downward from the horizontal line.

Given is that a building that is 115 feet tall casts a shadow that is 190 feet long

Assume that the angle of elevation or the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β}. Then, with respect to the question, we can write -

tan{β} = (height of building)/(length of shadow)

tan{β} = (115/190)

tan{β} = 0.606

{β} = tan⁻¹(0.606)

{β} = 31.22°

Therefore, the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

The windows of a downtown office building are arranged so that each floor has six fewer windows than the floor below it. If the ground floor has 52 windows, how many total windows are on the first eight floors?

Answers

248 


windows on first floor = 52 

windows on 8th floor (52 - 6 * 7) = 10 

average windows = (52 + 10)/2 = 62/2 = 31 

8 floors * 31 average windows = 248.

Answer:

There are 248 windows on the first eight floors.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given:

The ground floor has 52 windows.

This question is based on arithmetic sequence:

a1 = 52

d = - 6 (each floor has six fewer windows than the floor below it)

[tex]a_n=a1+(n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_8 =a1+7d[/tex]

=> [tex]52+[7 \times (-6)][/tex]

=> [tex]52-42 =10[/tex]

We know:

[tex]S_n= n/2 \times (a1 +a _n)[/tex]

[tex]S_8 =8/2 \times(52+10)[/tex]

= 248

Therefore, there are 248 windows on the first eight floors.

C.

Answer: D) About 314 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the radius of the wheel = 25 inches

Also, the angle in one turns of the wheel [tex]= 2\pi[/tex]

⇒ The angle in 2 turn of the wheel [tex]= 4\pi[/tex]

Hence, the distance it will cover in two turns

flip the fraction: 3/4 ----> 4/3
Then flip the sign: 4/3 ----> -4/3
In other words, we take the negative reciprocal

Notice how the original slope 3/4 and the perpendicular slope -4/3 multiply to -1

A reflecting telescope is purchased by a library for a new astronomy program. The telescope has a horizontal parabolic frame and contains two mirrors, 3 inches apart from each other- the first in the base and the second at the focal point. The astronomy teacher would like to attach a digital monitoring system on the edge of the telescope, creating a straight line distance above the focal point. Assuming that the telescope is placed on the edge of the roof in such a way that it is parallel to the ground, the position of the monitoring system, in relationship to the distance between the base and the focal point is modeled by the equation, x =[tex] \frac{1}{12} [/tex] y2 (x = the distance between the base and the focal point; y= the height of the monitoring system).

Rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope. How high above the focal point is the digital monitoring system attached to the telescope? Include your function and the height, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, in your final answer.

Answers

Hello! To rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope, we simply need to alter the equation such that the other side would be left with y alone.

[tex]x= \frac{1}{12} y^{2} [/tex]
[tex]12x=y^{2}[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{12x}=y [/tex]
[tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex]

We have replaced y with f(x) to show that it is a function.

For the second part we just use the fact that the two mirrors are 3 inches apart. From the definition of the variables we know that this is just the value of x. We plug this into the function to know how high above the focal point the digital monitoring system is attached.

[tex]f(3)=2 \sqrt{3(3)}=2\sqrt{9}=2(3)=6[/tex]

ANSWER: The function is given by [tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex] and the digital monitoring system is 6.0 inches above the focal point.

Final answer:

To find the height of the digital monitoring system, we rearrange the given parabolic equation to solve for y, substitute the known distance of 3 inches, and determine that the monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point.

Explanation:

The equation given for the reflecting telescope by the library for their astronomy program is x = \frac{1}{12} y^2. To solve for the height of the digital monitoring system as a function of the distance x, we need to rewrite the equation in terms of y. First, we multiply both sides by 12 to get 12x = y^2. Then, take the square root of both sides to solve for y, which gives us y = \sqrt{12x}. Given that the distance between the base and the focal point is 3 inches, we substitute x with 3 to find the height of the monitoring system. Thus, we have y = \sqrt{12 \cdot 3} which simplifies to y = \sqrt{36} or y = 6 inches. This means the digital monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point of the telescope.

(2n - 5)(n + 4) = 0

n = 2.5 Or n = -4

However n can not be less than 0

So n = 2.5
Height =2n +4
=2(2.5) +4
=5+4
=9

Final Answer:

The height of the box is 9 units.

Explanation:

Let's denote the width of the box as w, the length as l, and the height as h. According to the problem, we have the following relationships:
l = 2w (the length is twice the width) and
l = h - 4 (the length is also 4 less than the height).

The surface area SA of a rectangular box is calculated by the formula:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Given that the surface area is 160, we set up our equation:
160 = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Now let's substitute the relations l = 2w and l = h - 4 into the surface area equation:
Since l = 2w, 160 = 2(2w)w + 2(2w)h + 2wh.

Simplifying the equation, we have:
160 = 4w² + 4wh + 2wh
160 = 4w² + 6wh

Now we use the fact that l = h - 4 to substitute for h:
h = l + 4
h = 2w + 4

Now substitute h back into the surface area equation:
160 = 4w² + 6w(2w + 4) ,

Expand the terms:
160 = 4w² + 12w^2 + 24w,

Combine like terms:
160 = 16w² + 24w

Now, we must solve for w. Let's move all terms to one side to solve the quadratic equation:
16w² + 24w - 160 = 0

Divide all terms by 8 to simplify:
2w² + 3w - 20 = 0

We can now attempt to factor the quadratic equation:
(2w - 5)(w + 4) = 0

This gives us two solutions:
2w - 5 = 0 or  w + 4 = 0

Solving the first equation for w:
2w = 5,[tex]\( w = \frac{5}{2} \)[/tex]

w = 5/2
We can disregard the second solution w + 4 = 0 for w, as it gives us a negative width, which isn't possible for a box.

Now that we have w, we can find h.
Using our earlier substitute for h:
h = 2w + 4 ,
[tex]h = 2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} + 4[/tex] ,
h = 5 + 4 ,
h = 9 .
Thus, the height of the box is 9 units.
