Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g) (x) = f(x) - g(x)

Given: LM ∥ KN
LP ⊥ KN , KL = MN
KN = 30, LM = 20
m∠KLM=126°
Find: LP

Answers

An angle is produced at the point where two or more lines meet. Thus the value of LP required in the question is approximately 14.

Two lines are said to be perpendicular when a measure of the angle between them is a right angle. While parallel lines are lines that do not meet even when extended to infinity.

From the question, let the length of LP be represented by x.

Thus, from the given question, it can be deduced that;

LM ≅ PN = 20

KP = KN - PN

    = 30 - 20

KP = 10

LP = x

Also,

<MLP is a right angle, so that;

< KLP = < KLM - <PLM

         = 126 - 90

<KLP = [tex]36^{o}[/tex]

So that applying the Pythagoras theorem to triangle KLP, we have;

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan 36 = [tex]\frac{10}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{10}{Tan 36}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{10}{0.7265}[/tex]

x = 13.765

Therefore the side LP ≅ 14.

OC. y=3x-4
OD. y=3x + 12

Answers

Answer: [tex]\Large\boxed{A.~y=3x+4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Slope = 3

Point = (-3, -5)

Given the format of the equation

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = Slopeb = y-intercept

Substitute values into the equation

y = (3)x + b

y = 3x + b

Substitute the given point into the equation to get the value of [ b ]

(-5) = 3(-3) + b

-5 = -9 + b

b = -5 + 9

b = 4

Answer:

C looks most correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the sample space S​={1,2,3,4,...,15} a single number is to be selected at random. Given the following​ events, find the indicated probability.
A. the selected number is even
B. the selected number is a multiple of 4.
C. the selected number is a prime number.
P(BIA)

Answers

The probabilities of the given events are:

A. P(even) = P(A) = 7/15

B. P(multiple) = P(B) = 3/15

C. P(prime) = 6/15

D. P(B|A) = 3/7

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes of an event to the total number of possible outcomes.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

Calculation:

The given sample space is S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}

So, n(S) = 15

A. The selected number is even:

Consider the event as A.

The set of even numbers in the given sample is {2,4,6,8,10,12,14}

So, n(A) = 7

Then, the required probability is

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

       = 7/15

B. The selected number is a multiple of 4:

Consider the event as B.

The set of multiples of 4 in the given sample is {4,8,12}

So, n(B) = 3

Then, the required probability is

P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

       = 3/15

C. The selected number is prime:

Consider the event as C.

The set of prime numbers in the given sample is {2,3,5,7,11,13}

So, n(C) = 6

Then, the required probability is

P(C) = n(C)/n(S)

       = 6/15

D. calculate P(B|A):

Since events B and A are dependent events of the same sample,

n(A∩B) = 3 and the set is {4,8,12}. Then, P(B|A) is

P(B|A) = n(A∩B)/n(A)

⇒ P(B|A) = 3/7

The revenue function in terms of q will be 200q - 3q².

How to calculate the revenue?

The following can be deduced based on the information given:

P(q) = 200 - 3q

C(q) = 75 + 80q - q²

The revenue function in terms of q will be:

= Price × Quantity

= (200 - 3q) × q

= 200q - 3q²

The profit will be:

= Total revenue - Total cost

= (200q - 3q²) - (75 + 80q - q²)

= 200q - 3q² - 75 + 80q + q²

= -2q² + 280q - 75

= 2q² - 280q + 75

The average cost function will be:

= Total cost / Quantity

= (75 + 80q - q²) / q

= 75/q + 80 - q

The marginal cost will be 80 - 2q.

The marginal revenue will be 200 - 6q.

The marginal cost when q = 20 will be:

= 80 - 2q

= 80 - 2(20)

= 80 - 40

= 40

The marginal revenue when q = 20 will be:

= 200 - 6q

= 200 - 6(20)

= 200 - 120

= 80

The company should decrease production from 20 units in order to gain more profit.

The production level that gives the largest profit for the company will be gotten by finding the second derivative for the profit function as illustrated in the question. The profit function is 2q² - 280q. Then the production level will be 4.

An electrician plans to install solar panels on a rectangular section of roof with an area 180m2. This width of this section of roof is 7 1/5 m across. What is the length of this section of roof?

Answers

The length of the rectangular section of the roof is 25 m

Calculating area

From the question, we are to determine the length of the section of the roof

From the given information,

The area of the rectangular section = 180 m²

The width of the rectangular section = 7 1/5 m = 7.2 m

Using the formula for area of a rectangle

A = l × w

Where A is the area

l is the length

and w is the width

Then,

180 = l × 7.2

l = 180/7.2

l = 25 m

Una química tiene 3 soluciones acidas de varias concentraciones. La primera es 10% acida; la segunda 20% y la tercera 40%. ¿Cuántos mililitros de cada una debe ella usar para hacer 100ml de una solución al 18%, si tiene que usar cuatro veces mas de la solución al 10% que de la solución al 40%?

Answers

Based on the percentage of the first, second, and third acids, the milliliters of each acid that should be used to make 100 ml of 18% are:

10% acid  = 40 ml20% acid = 50 ml40% acid = 10 ml

What concentrations are needed to make the solution?

Assuming the concentration of the 40% acid is denoted as x, the other acid concentrations would be:

10% acid = 4x

20% = 100 - 5x

The target solution is 100ml of 18%.

Solving gives:

(10% × 4x) + (20% × (100 - 5x)) + (40% × x) = 18% x 100

(80% × x) + 20 - x = 18

(80x - 100x) / 100 = 18 - 20

-20x / 100 = -2

20x = 200

x = 200 / 20

x = 10 ml

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that the total amount of money the two ladies spent was of $782.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

Variable x: Amount Mrs. Smith had initially.Variable y: Amount Mrs. Wilson had initially.

Mrs smith had $46 more than Mr.s Wilson at first, hence:

x = y + 46.

Mrs Wilson spent 4/7 of her money on some clothes and, and Mrs. Smith spent 3/5 of her on household items, then they remained with an equal amount, so:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}x = \frac{3}{7}y[/tex]

Since x = y + 46, we have that:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}(y + 46) = \frac{3}{7}y[/tex]

14(y + 46) = 15y

y = 14 x 46

y = $644

x = 644 + 46 = $690

Hence the amount they spent is given as follows:

[tex]\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{4}{7}y = \frac{3}{5} \times 690 + \frac{4}{7} \times 644 = 782[/tex]

I'm not sure if the last two apostrophes are part of the quote - "Solve ... " - or if you mean the second derivative [tex]x''[/tex]. I think you mean the first interpretation, but I'll include both cases since they are both solvable.

If the former is correct, separate variables to solve.

[tex]x' = -9tx \implies \dfrac{dx}{dt} = -9tx \implies \dfrac{dx}x = -9t\,dt[/tex]

Integrate both sides to get

[tex]\ln|x| = -\dfrac92 t^2 + C[/tex]

Solve for [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]e^{\ln|x|} = e^{-9/2\,t^2 + C} \implies \boxed{x = Ce^{-9/2\,t^2}}[/tex]

If you meant the latter, then the ODE can be rewritten as

[tex]9t x'' + x' = 0[/tex]

Reduce the order of the equation by substituting [tex]y(t) = x'(t)[/tex] and [tex]y'(t) = x''(t)[/tex].

[tex]9t y' + y = 0[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y'[/tex] and separate variables.

[tex]y' = -\dfrac y{9t} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac y{9t} \implies \dfrac{dy}y = -\dfrac{dt}{9t}[/tex]

Integrate.

[tex]\ln|y| = -\dfrac19 \ln|t| + C[/tex]

Solve for [tex]y[/tex].

[tex]e^{\ln|y|} = e^{-1/9 \,\ln|t| + C} \implies y = Ct^{-1/9}[/tex]

The radius of the circle of the circle equation (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1 is 1 unit

How to determine the radius of the circle?

The circle equation of the graph is given as:

(x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1

The general equation of a circle is represented using the following formula

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

Where the center of the circle is represented by the vertex (a, b) and the radius of the circle is represented by r

By comparing the equations (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 and (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1, we have the following comparison

(x - a)^2 = (x + 3/8)^2

(y - b)^2 = y^2

1 = r^2

Rewrite the last equation as follows:

r^2= 1

Take the square root of both sides of the equation

√r^2 = √1

Evaluate the square root of 1

√r^2 = 1

Evaluate the square root of r^2

r = 1

Hence, the radius of the circle of the circle equation (x + 3/8)^2 + y^2 = 1 is 1 unit
