Tim needs 6 lb of a metal that contains 54 % silver. If Tim combines one metal with 29%
silver, and another with 80 % silver, how much of each metal does Tim need?

Answers

Answer 1

After solving the Algebraic expression we gets Tim needs 3.05 lbs. and 2.95 lbs. Metal.

What is algebra ?

Algebraic expressions are constructed using integer constants, variables, and the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations of basic arithmetic.

To form the Algebraic expression

Let x be the quantity of silver at 29% and y the quantity at 80%

Then x*28% + y*61% = 6*54%

and x + y = 6

 Let y = 6-x then

29*x + (6-x)*80= 324

29*x + 480- 80*x = 324

51*x = 156 and x = 156/51 = 3.05 lbs.

so y = 6 - x = 2.95 lbs.

Hence,

Tim needs 3.05 lbs. and 2.95 lbs. Metal.

Given polynomial with descending degrees of x would be,

x^4z^4 + x^3 - x^2z + z^3

In this question we have been given a polynomial x^3 + z^3 - x^2z + x^4z^4

We need to write given polynomial by descending degrees of x.

The highest degree of x in above polynomial is 4

x^3 + z^3 - x^2z + x^4z^4

then the second term would be x with degree 3.

x^3 + z^3 - x^2z + x^4z^4

the third term would be x with degree 2

x^3 + z^3 - x^2z + x^4z^4

and the last term is the term x with degree 0:

x^3 + z^3 - x^2z + x^4z^4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A ball is kicked with an initial velocity of 15 m/s in the horizontal direction and 18 m/s in the vertical direction. (Assume the ball is kicked from the ground.)

At what speed (in m/s) does the ball hit the ground?

For how long (in s) does the ball remain in the air?

What maximum height (in m) is attained by the ball?

Answers

A) The speed (in m/s) at which the ball hits the ground is; 23.43 m/s

B) The time (in s) that it takes the ball to remain in the air is; 3.67 s

C) The maximum height attained by the ball is; 16.51 m

How to solve projectile problems?

A) The motion of the ball on the vertical axis is basically uniformly accelerated motion, with acceleration g = 9.81 m/s² and initial vertical velocity v_y = 18 m/s, so the vertical position of the ball at time t is:

y(t) = v_y*t - ¹/₂gt²

The formula for time when the ball hits the ground is;

t = 2v_y/g

t = (2 * 18)/9.81

t = 3.67 s

Thus, vertical velocity at time t is given by the formula;

v_y(t) = v_y - gt

v_y(t) = 18 - (9.81 * 3.67)

v_y(t) = -18 m/s (which shows it is in the opposite direction because of the negative sign)

Thus, the speed at which the ball hits the ground is the resultant of the vertical and horizontal velocity at time t;

v = √(v_x² + v_yt²)

v = √(15² + 18²)

v = 23.43 m/s

b) From a above, the time that the ball remains in the air is the time it takes to hit the ground which is t = 3.67 s

c) The time to reach maximum height is half the time it takes to reach the ground. Thus;

t = 3.67/2 = 1.835 s

Thus maximum height is given by the formula;

y(t) = v_y*t - ¹/₂gt²

y(1.835) = 18(1.835) - ¹/₂(9.81)(1.835²)

y = 16.51 m

much interest did she earn?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

The interest eared from the given amount, rate of interest and time period is $426.883.

Given that, amount = $700, rate of interest = 4% and time period = 2 years.

What is the compound interest?

Compound interest is the interest on savings calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods.

The formula used to find the compound interest is [tex]Amount=Principal(1+\frac{r}{100})^{nt}[/tex]

Let the money deposited be x.

So, [tex]700=x(1+\frac{4}{100} )^{2\times12}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]700=x(1+0.04)^{24}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]700=x(1.04)^{24}[/tex]

⇒ 700 = 2.563x

⇒ x=700/2.563

⇒ x=$273.117

So, interest = 700-273.117

= $426.883

Therefore, the interest eared from the given amount, rate of interest and time period is $426.883.

Square plank of 48 inches triangular base length of 12 inches height of 6 inches how much paper to cover

Answers

Applying the area of square and triangle, the amount of paper needed is:  180 inches².

What is the Area of a Square Shape and Area of a Triangular Shape?

The area of a square shape = (side length of the shape)².

The area of a triangular shape = 1/2(base)(height)

The diagram that illustrates the problem given is shown in the image attached below, where the triangular paper to cover the triangular plank and the square paper for the square plank are shown also with their dimensions.

Therefore, the amount of paper that would cover the piece of art = area of the square shape + area of the triangular shape.

Area of the square shape = 12² = 144 inches²

Area of the square shape = 144 inches²

Area of the triangular shape = 1/2(12)(6)

Area of the triangular shape = 36 inches²

How to determine the midpoint of the line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q)?

To get the midpoint of the line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q), we first have to add the x coordinates of two points and divide it by 2. So the midpoint's x coordinate will be (a+p)/2 . Similarly, we have to do the same with y. Then the midpoint of the line joining two points (a,b) and (p,q) will be [(a+p)/2,(b+q)/2}.

To get the midpoint of (6,-5) and (-1,-6) , first, we have to add the x coordinates and divide it by 2 . And have to do the same with y.

Which of the following is the correct factorization 64x^3+8?

Answers

The correct factorization of the expression, [tex]64x^{3} +8[/tex], is 4[tex](2x-1)^{2}[/tex] (8x+2).

According to the question,

We have the following information:

[tex]64x^{3} +8[/tex]

The factors of this expression can be found using identity because 64[tex]x^{3}[/tex] is the whole cube of 4x and 8 is the cube of 2.

So, we have the following expression:

[tex](4x)^{3} + 2^{3}[/tex]

Now, we can use the following identity to factor the given expression:

[tex]a^{3} +b^{3} = (a+b) (a^{2} -ab+b^{2} )[/tex]

We have a = 8x and b = 2:

(8x+2) {[tex](4x)^{2}[/tex]-16x+[tex]2^{2}[/tex]}

(8x+2) (16[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-16x+4)

Taking 4 as the common factor from the second bracket:

4(8x+2) (4[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-4x+1)

Now, finding the factors of second bracket:

4(8x+2) ([tex]4x^{2}[/tex]-2x-2x+1)

4(8x+2) {2x(2x-1)-1(2x-1)}

4(8x+2) (2x-1) (2x-1)

4[tex](2x-1)^{2}[/tex] (8x+2)

Hence, the correct factorization of the expression, [tex]64x^{3} +8[/tex], is 4[tex](2x-1)^{2}[/tex] (8x+2).

OD. g(x)= |||

Answers

Option A is the correct answer g(x) = |x+3| by using the relation with the parent function.

Explain absolute value function.

A function that wraps an algebraic expression in absolute value symbols is known as an absolute value function. Remember that a number's distance from 0 on the number line represents its absolute value.

The definition of the absolute value parent function, f(x)=| x |, is as follows:

f(x) = [tex]\left \{ {{x ~, ~ x > 0} \atop {0 ~ , ~x = 0}} \atop {-x ~, ~x < 0} \right.[/tex]

Given parent function is f(x) = |x|

g(x) is obtained by stretching the graph of f(x) by a factor of 3.

Use the function g(x)=f(x−h) to translate the absolute value function f(x)=| x | horizontally.

The graph of f(x) is moved h units to the right to obtain g(x) for h>0

The graph of f(x) is translated h units to the left to obtain g(x) when h>0

Therefore, g(x) = |x+3|

Answers

The proof to the above diagram is ∠1 + ∠3 = 180

What are Supplementary angles?

Supplementary angles are angles whose sum equals 180°

If angle A + angle B = 180°, then both angles are said to be supplementary, meaning angle A is the supplement of Angle B.

∠2 ≅ ∠3. This means ∠2 is approximately equal to ∠3

Also ∠1 + ∠2 = 180°( sum of angles on a straight line)

making ∠2 the subject of the equation

∠2 = 180 - ∠1

But ∠2 ≅ ∠3, which we can say that ∠2 = ∠3

substituting ∠2 for ∠3 in the equation, we have

∠3 = 180 - ∠1

which is further simplified as,

∠1 + ∠3 = 180°

Which  means both angles are also supplementary.
