You have a 12 inch ruler being used as a miniature seesaw. A pencil is placed under the 4 inch mark. A weight is placed at the 2 inch mark that balances the seesaw. Now the uneven seesaw is balanced. if you then placed a pencil at the 12 inch end, how many similar pencils approximately will you need to place at the other 1 inch end to get a balance again?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of pencils that needs to be placed at the other 1 inch end to get a balance again is approximately 3 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the ruler used as a seesaw = 12 inch

The location where the pencil is placed = Under the 4 inch mark

The location where the weight is placed to balance the seesaw = The 2 inch mark

Therefore, the pencil at the 4 inch mark is fulcrum

The location where a pencil is placed on the ruler = The 12 inch end

The number of pencils, x, that needs to be placed at the other 1 inch end to get a balance again is given as follows;

The distance of the pencil at the 12 inch end from the fulcrum = 12 inches - 4 inches = 8 inches

The distance of the pencils placed at the 1 inch end from the fulcrum = 4 inches - 1 inch = 3 inches

Therefore at balance point, (equilibrium) the anticlockwise moment = The clockwise moment, which gives;

The mass of 1 pencil × 8 inches = x × The mass of 1 pencil × 3 inches

x = (The mass of 1 pencil × 8 inches)/(3 inches × The mass of x × 1 pencil)

x = 8/3 = 2.[tex]\overline 6[/tex]  ≈ 3 pencils

The number of pencils that needs to be placed at the other 1 inch end to get a balance again = x ≈ 3 pencils.

If y = -5, what is the value of
2y+2
-
4

Answers

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so I'm guessing that's a -4 but if its not, please correct me.

y= -5 is going to be plugged into 2y+2-4

This means that 2(-5)+2-4=?

2(-5) is the equivalent to 2 times -5, which is -10 (you solve multiplication first because order of operations)

Now, 2-4=-2

So using this, let's combine both equations!

If a rectangle piece of dimensions 3 cm x 2 cm is cut from one corner of a rectangular sheet of dimensions 10 cm x 6 cm and attached to it's side projecting out of the rectangle, what will be the change in perimeter of the new shape thus formed?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]6\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the larger rectangle are 10 cm and 6 cm.

The sides of the part cut out are 3 cm and 2 cm.

The part cut out is attached to one of the sides of the rectangle.

Perimeter of the new shape will be

[tex]6+7+2+3+2+3+2+13=38\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Perimeter of old shape

[tex]2(10+6)=32\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Change in the perimeter is [tex]38-32=6\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Which two numbers multiply to 20 and add to 9

Answers

Answer: 5x4=20

And 5+4=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The required two numbers are 4 and 5.

What is equation?

"It is a statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."

For given example,

We need to find two number such that if multiply then we get 20 and add to get 9.

Let 'a' and 'b' be two numbers.

According to given conditions,

a × b = 20                .........................(i)

a + b =9                    .......................(ii)

So, from given conditions we have two equations (i) and (ii).

From equation (ii) we have,

a = 9 - b                    ...............(iii)

Substitute above value of 'a' in equation (i),

⇒ (9 - b) × b = 20

⇒ 9b - b² = 20

⇒ b² - 9b + 20 = 0

Now we solve this quadratic equation to find b.

⇒ b² - 9b + 20 = 0

⇒ b² - 5b - 4b + 20 = 0

⇒ (b - 5) (b - 4) = 0

⇒ b = 5 or   b = 4

Find the value of 'a' from equation (iii)

When b = 5

⇒ a = 9 - 5

⇒ a = 4

When b = 4

⇒ a = 9 - 4

⇒ a = 5

Therefore, the required two numbers are 4 and 5.

Consider the line y = - 4x +3,
Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (2, -3).

Answers

Answer:

        y = -4x + 5     {slope-intercept form}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = - 4x + 3    ⇒   m₁ = -4    ⇒    m₂ = -4

The point-slope form of the equation of a line it's y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passing through.

m = -4

(2, -3)   ⇒   x₁ = 2,  y₁ = -3

point-slope form:

y - (-3) = -4(x - 2)

y + 3 = -4x + 8             {subtact 3 from both sides}

y = -4x + 5        ←    slope-intercept form

Find a probable next term for the sequence 9,20,39,72,125,204,315

Answers

Answer:

464

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 9.

The difference between the second and first term = 20 - 9 = 11

The difference between the third and second term = 39 - 20 = 19

The difference between the fourth and third term = 72 - 39 = 33

The difference between the fifth and fourth term = 125 - 72 = 53

The difference between the sixth and fifth term = 204 - 125 = 79

The difference between the seventh and sixth term = 315 - 204 = 111

The differences are 11, 19, 33, 53, 79, 111

From the difference: 19 - 11 = 8, 33 - 19 = 14, 53 - 33 = 20, 79 - 53 = 26, 111 - 79 = 32

We can see from the first difference (8), if we add 6 we get 14, if we add another 6 we get 20, if we add 6 we get 26, if add 6 we get 32

We get the eight term using:

32 + 6 = 38

let x be the difference between the eight term and the seventh term, hence:

x - 111 = 38

x = 111 + 38

x = 149

Therefore:

eighth term - seventh term = 149

eighth term - 315 = 149

eighth term = 149 + 315

eighth term = 464

The next probable term is 464
