Find the exact value of x

We can presume that x is a positive number because we are aware of the widening of the roadways and the increase in Jonathan's speed. It takes three seconds for Jonathan's speed to change by 234.67 + 2x feet per second.

the definition of speed. a direction or speed at which an object's location changes. The distance travelled relative to the time it took to travel that distance is how fast something is moving.

In contrast to velocity, which describes the speed and direction of an object's movement, speed is the rate of movement along a path. Alternatively, velocity is a vector while speed is a scalar quantity.

Let's first convert Jonathan's initial speed of 160 miles per hour to feet per second, since we're measuring the change in speed every three seconds.

160 miles per hour = 160 * 5280 feet per hour = 844800 ft/h

= 844800/3600  ft/s (since there are 3600 seconds in an hour)

= 234.67 ft/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, let's assume that Jonathan's speed increases by x feet per second every three seconds. After three seconds, his new speed will be 234.67 + x feet per second. After another three seconds, his speed will be 234.67 + 2x feet per second, and so on.

Since we know that the roads are getting wider and Jonathan's speed is increasing, we can assume that x is a positive number.

Therefore, the rate of change of Jonathan's speed is 234.67 + 2x feet per second every three seconds.

The distance of the point P to the plane is 42/√629 units. The solution has been obtained by using vectors.

What are vectors?

An item with both magnitude and direction is said to contain a vector. An object's motion from one point to another is described by a vector.

We are given three points Q, R and S. So, we will find equation of the plane defined by the three points.

Vector RQ = < 5, 1, -4 >  and RS = < 7, 6, -7>  and their cross product

RQ x RS = < 5, 1, -4 > x < 7, 6, -7> = < 17 , 7, 23>  = n  

This is a vector normal to the plane.

So, the equation of the plane is 17x + 4y + 18z = 139

The distance is calculated using

⇒d = (|A·Mx + B·My + C·Mz + D| )/(√A² + B² + C²)

⇒d = (|-17·3 + (-4)·1 + (-18)·7 + 139|)/((-17)² + (-4)² + (-18)²)

⇒d = 42/√629

What is right-angle triangle?

A right triangle, also known as a right-angled triangle, right-perpendicular triangle, orthogonal triangle, or formerly rectangle triangle, is a triangle with one right angle, or two perpendicular sides. The foundation of trigonometry is the relationship between the sides and other angles of the right triangle.

The height of the right-angle triangle is 11. The hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle is x. The measure of the angle opposite to height is 31°.

The sine of an angle is the ratio of height to the hypotenuse.

Therefore,

sin 31° = height/hypotenuse

sin 31° = 11/x

Multiply x with both sides:

x sin 31° = 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.1. Advantages of Selling Prepaid Electricity

Two advantages of selling prepaid electricity are:

a) Reduced costs for the municipality: Prepaid meters eliminate the need for the municipality to send meter readers to each property and manually read the meter. This can save the municipality time and money.

b) Improved cash flow: By receiving payment before the electricity is used, the municipality can improve its cash flow as it will have funds available to purchase more electricity.

1.2. Number of Units Mr Nkomo Received When He Bought Prepaid Electricity for R68,02

The rate per kWh including VAT is R1,33. To determine the number of units Mr Nkomo received, we can use the formula:

Units = Amount / Rate

Units = R68,02 / R1,33

Units = 51.04 kWh

So, Mr Nkomo received 51.04 kWh of electricity when he bought prepaid electricity for R68,02.

1.3. Cost of 310 kWh of Electricity

The rate per kWh including VAT is R1,33. To determine the cost of 310 kWh of electricity, we can use the formula:

Cost = Units * Rate

Cost = 310 kWh * R1,33

Cost = R411,30

So, Mr Nkomo will have to pay R411,30 for 310 kWh of electricity.

1.4. Percentage Profit the Municipality Makes When a Customer Buys 290 kWh of Electricity

To determine the percentage profit the municipality makes when a customer buys 290 kWh of electricity, we need to calculate the cost price and the selling price of the electricity. The cost price of electricity is R1,33 per kWh. The selling price is given in the table as R144,72 for 2-50 kWh, R186,06 for 51-350 kWh, R261,87 for 351-600 kWh, and R308,37 for over 600 kWh.

Since the cost price is R1,33 per kWh and the selling price is different for different ranges of units, we need to calculate the cost and selling price for each range of units and find the average.

For 2-50 kWh:

Cost = 2-50 kWh * R1,33

Cost = 50 kWh * R1,33

Cost = R66,50

Selling price = R144,72

Profit = Selling price - Cost

Profit = R144,72 - R66,50

Profit = R78,22

Percentage profit = (Profit / Cost) * 100

Percentage profit = (R78,22 / R66,50) * 100

Percentage profit = 17.7%

For 51-350 kWh:

Cost = 51-350 kWh * R1,33

Cost = 350 kWh * R1,33

Cost = R466,50

Selling price = R186,06

Profit = Selling price - Cost

Profit = R186,06 - R466,50

Profit = R29,56

Percentage profit = (Profit / Cost) * 100

Percentage profit = (R29,56 / R466,50) * 100

Percentage profit = 6.3%

For 351-600 kWh:

Cost = 351-600 kWh * R1,33

Cost = 600 kWh * R1,33

Cost = R798,00

Selling price = R261,87

Profit = Selling price - Cost

Profit = R261,87 - R798,00

Profit = -536,13

Percentage profit = (Profit / Cost) * 100

Percentage profit = (-536,13 / R798,00) * 100

Percentage profit = -67.3%

For over 600 kWh:

Cost = over 600 kWh * R1,33

Cost = R1,33 * 1000

Cost = R1330,00

Selling price = R308,37

Profit = Selling price - Cost

Profit = R308,37 - R1330,00

Profit = -1021,63

Percentage profit = (Profit / Cost) * 100

Percentage profit = (-1021,63 / R1330,00) * 100

Percentage profit = -76.7%

The average percentage profit for the municipality is calculated by finding the total profit and total cost for each range of units and then dividing the total profit by the total cost.

For the range 2-50 kWh, the total profit is R78,22 and the total cost is R66,50, so the average percentage profit is (R78,22 / R66,50) * 100 = 17.7%.

For the range 51-350 kWh, the total profit is R29,56 and the total cost is R466,50, so the average percentage profit is (R29,56 / R466,50) * 100 = 6.3%.

For the range 351-600 kWh, the total profit is -536,13 and the total cost is R798,00, so the average percentage profit is (-536,13 / R798,00) * 100 = -67.3%.

For the range over 600 kWh, the total profit is -1021,63 and the total cost is R1330,00, so the average percentage profit is (-1021,63 / R1330,00) * 100 = -76.7%.

The average percentage profit for the municipality for the four ranges of units is calculated as follows:

Average percentage profit = (17.7% + 6.3% - 67.3% - 76.7%) / 4

Average percentage profit = -34.05%

Therefore, Mr Nkomo's claim that the percentage profit the municipality makes when a customer buys 290 kWh of electricity is more than 34% is NOT VALID.

The relative minimum's coordinates are (1, -5).

The first derivative test can be used to determine if a continuous function's critical point is a relative minimum or maximum. Simply put, the first derivative is a relative minimum if it is negative to the left of the critical point and positive to the right of it.

The parabola's equation takes the following form because its vertex is at (1, -5).

y = a(x - 1)² - 5

where "a" is a constant that determines the shape of the parabola. Since the parabola crosses the y-axis at (0, -3), we can substitute these coordinates into the equation and solve for "a" as follows:

-3 = a(0 - 1)² - 5

-3 = a - 5

a = 2

Thus, the equation of the parabola is:

y = 2(x - 1)² - 5

The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by x = 1

If "a" is a root of a polynomial, then (x-a) is a factor of the polynomial.

If the multiplicity of a root a is "p", then (x-a)^p is a factor of the polynomial.

Based on the roots and multiplicity, we have:

    P(x) = k · (x-2)^2 · (x-0) · (x - (-2))

    P(x) = k · (x-2)^2 · (x-0) · (x+2)

We need that "k" up front to account for any vertical stretch or compression to hit the exact point (5,189).

To find "k", we plug in that point and solve for "k":

     189 = k · (5-2)^2 · (5-0) · (5+2)

     189 = k · (3)^2 · (5) · (7)

     189 = k · 315

Step-by-step explanation:

here is a step-by-step explanation for finding the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (0, -8):

Identify the two points that the line passes through: (0, -3) and (0, -8)

Determine the slope of the line: The slope of a line is given by the formula "rise over run," or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). However, in this case, the line is vertical and has an undefined slope.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept. Since the slope of the line is undefined, the equation of the line cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where "m" is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line. Since the slope of the line is undefined, the equation of the line cannot be written in point-slope form.

Write the equation of the line as an x-intercept form: The x-intercept form of a line is given by the equation x = a, where "a" is the x-coordinate of the point that the line passes through. In this case, the line passes through the point (0, -3) and (0, -8), so the equation of the line is x = 0.

So, the equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (0, -8) is x = 0.

Answer: Let's call the ratio of the perimeters of the two similar figures "k". That means that for every unit of length in RSTU, there are k units of length in ABCD.

Since UR = 18 and DA = 24, k = 24/18 = 4/3.

So for every length in RSTU, there are 4/3 times that length in ABCD. We can use this ratio to find the corresponding lengths in ABCD. For example, SR = 36, so BS = 36 * (4/3) = 48.

Now that we have the lengths of all sides of ABCD, we can find its perimeter:

Perimeter of ABCD = 24 + 48 + BC + 24 = 120 + BC

Perimeter of RSTU = 18 + 36 + 18 + 36 = 108

So the ratio of their perimeters is:

Perimeter of ABCD / Perimeter of RSTU = (120 + BC) / 108 = (120 / 108) + (BC / 108) = 20/18 + BC/108

Since the perimeters of the two figures are similar, the ratio of their perimeters is equal to the ratio of their corresponding side lengths:

20/18 + BC/108 = 4/3

Solving for BC:

BC = (4/3 - 20/18) * 108 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The low Q₁ is 13 and the median Q₃ is 16.5, the high is 18 and the interquartile range is 3.5

The interquartile range is a measure of dispersion that tells us how spread out the middle 50% of a dataset is. To calculate the IQR, we first need to find the quartiles of the dataset. Quartiles divide a dataset into four equal parts, with the first quartile (Q₁) representing the 25th percentile, the second quartile (Q₂) representing the 50th percentile (also known as the median), and the third quartile (Q₃) representing the 75th percentile.

To find the quartiles of the dataset {10, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18}, we first need to order the data in ascending order:

10, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18

The low is the smallest value in the dataset, which is 10.

To find Q₁, we need to find the value that is 25% of the way through the dataset. Since we have 9 values in our dataset, 25% of 9 is 2.25. This means that Q₁ lies between the 2nd and 3rd values in the dataset, which are both 13. To find the exact value of Q₁, we can take the average of these two values:

Q₁ = (13 + 13) / 2 = 13

The median is the middle value in the dataset, which is 15.

To find Q₃, we need to find the value that is 75% of the way through the dataset. 75% of 9 is 6.75, which means that Q₃ lies between the 6th and 7th values in the dataset, which are 16 and 17, respectively. To find the exact value of Q₃, we can take the average of these two values:

Q3 = (16 + 17) / 2 = 16.5

The high is the largest value in the dataset, which is 18.

Now that we have found the quartiles, we can calculate the IQR by subtracting Q1 from Q₃:

IQR = Q₃ - Q₁ = 16.5 - 13 = 3.5

Therefore, the interquartile range of the dataset {10, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18} is 3.5. This tells us that the middle 50% of the dataset is relatively tightly clustered around the median, with values ranging from 13 to 16.5.

How to calculate the Volume of Composite Shapes?

Composite shapes have a volume that is made up of basic shapes. We can calculate the volume of the composite shapes using the steps listed below:

Step 1: Break down the compound shape into different components.

Step 2: Determine the volume of each basic shape.

Step 3: Combine the volumes of all the basic shapes.

Step 4: Write the solution in cubic units.

Firstly we can divide the figure into two rectangular prisms A and B. Then add these two to total volume the volumes of each prism.

The volume of prism A = length × width × height

V = 4 * 2 * 1

V = 8 cubic in.

The volume of prism B = length × width × height

V  = 1 * 2 * 2

V = 4 cubic in.

Total volume = volume of prism A + volume of prism B

= 8 cubic in + 4 cubic in
