The base of a 40-foot ladder is placed 24 feet away from a wall. What is the
height of the wall if the other end of the ladder reaches the top of it?
A. 32 ft
B. 64 ft
C. 16 ft
D. 26 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 32 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras for right-angled triangles (as that is what this is here - the floor from the base of the ladder to the wall, the wall up to where the ladder ends, and the ladder itself as the Hypotenuse).

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

so, we know,

c = 40 ft

a = 24 ft

we are looking for B

=>

40² = 24² + b²

1600 = 576 + b²

1024 = b²

b = 32 ft

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 14 cubic meters. The length of its base is twice the width. Material for the base costs 10 dollars per square meter. Material for the sides costs 8 dollars per square meter. Find the cost of materials for the cheapest such container.

Answers

Answer:

C(min)  =  277.95 $

Container dimensions:

x = 2.822 m

y = 1.411 m

h = 3.52 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call x  and  y the sides of the rectangular base.

The surface area for  a rectangular container is:

S = Area of the base (A₁) +  2 * area of a lateral side x (A₂) + 2 * area lateral y (A₃)

Area of the base is :

A₁ =  x*y       we assume, according to problem statement that

x  =  2*y      y  = x/2

A₁  =  x²/2

Area lateral on side x

A₂  = x*h           ( h  is the height of the box )

Area lateral on side y

A₃ = y*h        ( h  is the height of the box )

s = x²/2  + 2*x*h + 2*y*h

Cost  =  Cost of the base + cost of area lateral on x + cost of area lateral on y

C = 10*x²/2  + 8* 2*x*h  + 8*2*y*h

C as function of x is:

The volume of the box is:

V(b) = 14 m³  = (x²/2)*h       28 = x²h      h = 28/x²

C(x) = 10*x²/2  + 16*x*28/x² + 16*(x/2)*28/x²

C(x)  =  5*x²  +  448/x  + 224/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

C´(x)  =  10*x  -  448/x² - 224/x²

C´(x)  =  0             10x  -  448/x² - 224/x² = 0     ( 10*x³ - 448 - 224 )/x² = 0

10*x³ - 448 - 224 = 0       10*x³ = 224

x³  =22.4

x = ∛ 22.4

x = 2.822 m

y = x/2  =  1.411 m

h = 28/x²  =  28 /7.96

h =  3.52 m

To find out if the container of such dimension is the cheapest container we look to the second derivative of C

C´´(x) = 10 + 224*2*x/x⁴

C´´(x)  =  10 + 448/x³    is positive then C has a minimum for x = 2.82

And the cost of the container is:

C = 10*(x²/2) +  16*x*h + 16*y*h

C = 39.82 +  158.75  + 79.38

C =  277.95 $

Answers

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see from the diagram that:

SY = SK + KY

So, substituting the given values:-

36 - x = 13x - 5 + 2x + 9

-x - 13x - 2x = - 5 + 9 - 36

-16x = -32

x = 32/16 = 2.

So SK = 13(2) - 5 = 21.

KY = 2(2) + 9 = 13.

SY = 36 - 2 = 34.

21 + 13 = 34 so this is a check that our calculation is correct.


The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s. When
the length is 12 cm and the width is 4 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing (in cm/s)? Write an equation for A in terms of l and w.

Answers

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 84 square centimeters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area for a rectangle is given by the formula:

[tex]A=w\ell[/tex]

Where w is the width and l is the length.

We are given that the length of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s and that the width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s. In other words, dl/dt = 6 and dw/dt = 5.

First, differentiate the equation with respect to t, where w and l are both functions of t:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left[w\ell][/tex]

By the Product Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dw}{dt}\ell +\frac{d\ell}{dt}w[/tex]

Since we know that dl/dt = 6 and that dw/dt = 5:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=5\ell + 6w[/tex]

We want to find the rate at which the area is increasing when the length is 12 cm and the width is 4 cm. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=5(12)+6(4)=84\text{ cm}^2\text{/s}[/tex]

The area of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 84 square centimeters per second.

Answer:

maximum: (x, y) = (12.4n+3.2, 186.322)minimum: (x, y) = (12.4n+9.4, 163.498)

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that cos(α) is a maximum at α=0, 2π, 4π, and all even multiples of π. You know cos(α) is a minimum for α=π, 3π, 5π, and all odd multiples of π.

You can find your value of x at which y will be a maximum by setting the argument of the cosine function equal to zero (and/or 2nπ). If we use α=2nπ, then we have ...

  α = (5π/31)(x -3.2) = 2nπ

  (x -3.2) = (31/5)(2n) = 12.4n

Tidal maxima will occur at ...

 x = 12.4n +3.2 . . . . . for integer values of n

Without bothering to go through the solution for α being odd multiples of π, we can see from this that the period is 12.4 hours. We know the tidal minimum  will be half a period later, or 6.2 hours later than this.

Tidal minima will occur at ...

  x = 12.4n +9.4 . . . . for integers n

__

Of course, cos(α) has extremes of ±1, so your tidal maximum will be ...

  y = 11.412 +174.91 = 186.322

and your tidal minimum will be ...

  y = -11.412 +174.91 = 163.498

A company is interested in testing sample sets of 20 Widgets to see how they withstand a heat test. Widgets fail the heat test when they develop cracks in their top paint coating. Suppose historically that 10% of the Widgets develop paint cracks. a. Does this problem represent the application of a Continuous or Discrete Distribution

Answers

Answer:

Discrete Distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each widget, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they develop paint cracks, or they do not. The probability of a widget developing paint cracks is independent of any other widgets, which means that the binomial probability distribution, which is a discrete distribution, is used to solve this question. Thus the answer is a Discrete Distribution.

Nichol walks at a constant pace of 1.2 m/s and takes 15 minutes to get to school.
Sakura walks at 1.4 m/s and takes 20 minutes to get to school.
What is the difference between the distances they walked?

Answers

Answer:

The difference between the distances they walked is 600 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the distance traveled by Nichol and Sakura with the following equation:

[tex] d = v*t [/tex]

Where:

v: is the speed

t: is the time

The distance traveled by Nichol is:

[tex] d_{n} = 1.2 m/s*15min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1080 m [/tex]

And the distance traveled by Sakura is:

[tex] d_{s} = 1.4 m/s*20 min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1680 m [/tex]

Hence, the difference between the distances they walked is:

[tex] d_{t} = d_{s} - d_{n} = 1680 m - 1080 m = 600 m [/tex]

Sakura traveled 600 meters more than Nichol.

Therefore, the difference between the distances they walked is 600 meters.

Intravenous fluid bags are filled by an automated filling machine. Assume that the fill volumes of the bags are independent, normal random variables with a standard deviation of 0.08 fluid ounces.
(a)What is the standard deviation of the average fill volume of 22 bags?
(b)The mean fill volume of the machine is 6.16 ounces, what is the probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces?
(c)What should the mean fill volume equal in order that the probability that the average of 22 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0171 fluid ounces.

b) 0% probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces

c) The mean should be of 6.153 fluid ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Standard deviation of 0.08 fluid ounces.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.08[/tex]

(a)What is the standard deviation of the average fill volume of 22 bags?

This is s when n = 22. So

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]s = \frac{0.08}{\sqrt{22}}[/tex]

[tex]s = 0.0171[/tex]

(b)The mean fill volume of the machine is 6.16 ounces, what is the probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces?

We have that [tex]\mu = 6.16[/tex]. The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 5.95. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{5.95 - 6.16}{0.0171}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -12.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -12.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.

0% probability that the average fill volume of 22 bags is below 5.95 ounces.

(c)What should the mean fill volume equal in order that the probability that the average of 22 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001?

[tex]X = 6.1[/tex] should mean that Z has a p-value of 0.001, so Z = -3.09. Thus

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]-3.09 = \frac{6.1 - \mu}{0.0171}[/tex]

[tex]6.1 - \mu = -3.09*0.0171[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 6.153[/tex]

The mean should be of 6.153 fluid ounces.
