An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 8x − 7, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of hours after the sun has risen. When f(x) is a negative number, the icicle is not dripping. Determine the values when the icicle starts and stops dripping.

Answers

Answer 1

Find when f(x) = 0. By factorizing, we have

-x² + 8x - 7 = - (x - 7) (x - 1) = 0

so either x - 7 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, or simply x = 1 or x = 7.

Split the domain into three intervals, and check the sign of f(x) over each interval at some test point in the interval. The sign will tell you when the icicle is dripping (positive) or not (negative).

• [0, 1) : at x = 0, we have f(0) = -7 < 0

• (1, 7) : at x = 2, we have f(2) = 5 > 0

• (7, 10] : at x = 8, we have f(8) = -7 < 0

This tells us that the icicle is not dripping when 0 ≤ x < 1, begins to drip when x = 1, drips for the duration of 1 < x < 7, stops dripping when x = 7, and keeps on not dripping when 7 < x ≤ 10.

The expression that represents the volume, in cubic units, of the shaded region of the composite figure is option: A. One-half(14)(10)(8) – π(2.52)(8).

How to find the volume of a prism?

If the prism is such that if we slice it horizontally at any height smaller or equal to its original height, the cross-section is same as its base,

then its volume is:

V = B x  h

where h is the height of that prism and B is the area of the base of that prism.

Given:

Base side length =14 and 10 units

Height=8 units

Diameter=5 units

The volume of the shaded region is;

Expression =  1-( half 14)(10)(8) - π(2.52)(8)

Expression = 1-(7) (10)(8) - π(2.52)(8)

Expression = 1- (560)- 63.33

Expression = -559-63.33

Which data set could be represented by the box plot shown below?

Answers

It’s B i believe others are not correct I think

Answer:

  B

Step-by-step explanation:

A box and whisker plot is a graphical representation of the 5-number summary of a data set. It shows the minimum, maximum, median, and the values of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. Here, you're asked to identify the data set having the same 5-number summary as that shown in the plot.

__

extremes

The minimum of the data set is shown by the end of the left "whisker." The plot shows a minimum value of 41. Choice C has a minimum of 40, so is not the data set we're looking for.

The maximum of the data set is shown by the end of the right whisker. The plot shows a maximum of 50, matching all of the answer choices shown.

median

The median of the data set is shown by the vertical line in the middle of the box. Here, the median of the data set is indicated as 44. This will be the middle value, or the average of the two middle values of the set of data.

These sets of data have 10 values, an even number, so the median is the average of the middle two.

Choices A and B have a middle pair of 43 and 45, which means their median is (43+45)/2 = 44. Choice D has a middle pair of 43 and 47, so a median of (43+47)/2 = 45. Choice D is not the data set we're looking for.

quartiles

The 1st and 3rd quartiles of the data set are shown by the left and right ends of the box, respectively. They are indicated as being 43 and 48.

The median divides the data set into two parts. It is not considered to be a member of either part. The 1st quartile is the median of the lower (left) part. The 3rd quartile is the median of the upper (right) part.

Here, each part has 5 data values, so the quartile values are 3rd from the ends of the data set. In choice A, they are 43 and 49, not a match to the given plot. In choice B, they are 43 and 48, matching the values in the given box plot.

The data set in choice B could be represented by the box plot shown.

The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.

Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have

x/y = 8/7

   y = 7x/8

Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be

 10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²

110.25 = x² + 49x²/64

110.25 = 113x²/64

      x² = 62.44

        x = 7.902

        x ≅ 7.9 feet

Then the other leg will be

y = 7.9 x 7 / 8

y = 6.91

What is the congruent triangle?

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

The ∠STR and ∠RTQ are congruent.

Now, consider two triangles ∠QTR and ∠STR

In the following triangle

TR  ≅  TR

QTR ≅ STR

QT ≅ ST

Now, according to SAS rule, two congruent triangles have congruent corresponding to their sides,

1. QR ≅ SR

2. QRT ≅ SRT

Since the above two angles are congruent so, they will have the same measure

That will be 90 degree.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -3) and (-5, 4).
Put your answer in fully simplified point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or
horizontal line.

Answers

Answer:

y₁ - y₂ = (-7/9)(x₁ - x₂)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure for an equation in point-slope form is:

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)

In this form, "m" represents the slope and the "x" and "y" values come from each point. To find "m", plug the values of each point into the equation.

Point 1: (4, -3)                   Point 2: (-5,4)

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)                                  <---- Original equation

-3 - 4 = m(4 - (-5))                                 <---- Plug values in for "x" and "y"

-7 = m(4 - (-5))                                      <---- Simplify left side

-7 = m(9)                                               <---- Simplify within parentheses

-7/9 = m                                              <---- Divide both sides by 9

I don't exactly understand what "fully simplified point-slope form" means because if all of the variables are plugged in, you wouldn't be left with an equation. It may just be asking for the slope, which in this case would make the equation look like this:

y₁ - y₂ = (-7/9)(x₁ - x₂)  

It may want you to find the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), and you would have to find "b". Sorry I don't quite understand what exactly you are looking for.

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 160 square inches, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

L = 16

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Area = 160 sqr inches

width = x

length = x + 6

Equation

Area = L * w

Solution

Substitute in the equation all of the givens.

160 = x(x + 6)                     Remove the brackets

160 = x^2 + 6x                   Subtract 160 from both sides.

160-160 = x^2 + 6x - 160

0 = x^2 + 6x - 160

This equation factors. Turn it around first

consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 6 and - 1 , since
