The value of given function [tex]\int\limits^1_{-1}[/tex]f(x)dx is equal is 5/6. So, correct option is A.

To find the integral of f(x) from -1 to 1, we need to split the interval [-1,1] into three parts, where f(x) is defined differently.

For x < 0, f(x) = x², so the integral of f(x) from -1 to 0 is:

[tex]\int\limits^0_{-1}[/tex](x²)dx = (-1/3)x³ evaluated at x=0 and x=-1 = (-1/3)(0 - (-1)) = 1/3

For x = 0, f(x) = -1, so the integral of f(x) at x=0 is simply -1.

For x > 0, f(x) = x, so the integral of f(x) from 0 to 1 is:

[tex]\int\limits^1_{0}[/tex](x)dx = (1/2)x² evaluated at x=1 and x=0 = (1/2)(1 - 0)² = 1/2

Therefore, the integral of f(x) from -1 to 1 is:

[tex]\int\limits^1_{-1}[/tex]f(x)dx = [tex]\int\limits^0_{-1}[/tex](x²)dx  + [tex]\int\limits^0_{0}[/tex](-1)dx + [tex]\int\limits^1_{0}[/tex](x)dx

= 1/3 + (-1) + 1/2

The approximate surface area of the glass prism is approximately 1986.66 square millimeters.

To find the surface area of the glass prism, we need to determine the area of each of its faces and then add them together. The prism consists of two congruent equilateral triangles and three rectangular faces.

The area of an equilateral triangle with side length s and height h is given by:

A = (√(3)/4) * s²

Using this formula, we can find the area of each of the two equilateral triangles in the prism:

A = (√(3)/4) * 7² ≈ 21.22 mm²

Next, we need to find the area of each of the three rectangular faces. The length of each rectangular face is equal to the side length of the equilateral triangle (7 mm), and the height is equal to the length of the prism (93 mm). Therefore, the area of each rectangular face is:

A = length x height = 7 mm x 93 mm = 651 mm²

To find the total surface area of the prism, we add the areas of the two equilateral triangles and the three rectangular faces:

Total surface area ≈ 2 x 21.22 mm² + 3 x 651 mm² ≈ 1986.66 mm²

Therefore, the approximate surface area of the glass prism is approximately 1986.66 square millimeters.

The system of equations to represent the scenario is 1.73x + 3.38y ≤ 28,

and the ordered pair is (8,4).

What is the Linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation that represents a straight line on a coordinate plane. A linear equation has the form y = mx + b, where x and y are variables, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line intersects the y-axis).

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that involve the same variables. In a system of equations, the solution is a set of values for the variables that satisfy all the equations in the system simultaneously. For example, the system of equations:

2x + 3y = 7

x - 2y = 5

has two equations with two variables x and y. The solution to the system is the set of values for x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.

According to the given information:

Part 1:

We are given that Apple needs 12 ounces of the stir fry mix, which is made up of rice and dehydrated veggies. Let x be the amount of rice in ounces and y be the amount of dehydrated veggies in ounces.

The total amount of stir fry mix needed is 12 ounces, so we have:

x + y = 12

The cost of the rice is $1.73 per ounce and the cost of the dehydrated veggies is $3.38 per ounce. Apple has $28 to spend and plans to spend it all, so the cost of the stir fry mix must be less than or equal to $28:

1.73x + 3.38y ≤ 28

Part 2:

To solve the system of equations, we can use substitution or elimination. Here, we will use substitution to solve for one variable in terms of the other:

x + y = 12 --> y = 12 - x

Substituting y = 12 - x into the second equation, we get:

1.73x + 3.38(12 - x) ≤ 28

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

1.73x + 40.56 - 3.38x ≤ 28

-1.65x ≤ -12.56

x ≥ 7.616

We round up to the nearest whole number since we cannot buy a fraction of an ounce of rice. Thus, x = 8 ounces.

Substituting x = 8 into the equation y = 12 - x, we get:

y = 12 - 8

y = 4 ounces

Therefore, Apple buys 8 ounces of rice and 4 ounces of dehydrated veggies. The ordered pair is (8,4).

Part 3:

Our solution (8, 4) means that Apple needs to buy 8 ounces of rice and 4 ounces of dehydrated veggies to make 12 ounces of stir fry mix. The cost of the stir fry mix can be calculated by substituting these values into the cost equation:

1.73(8) + 3.38(4) = $21.48

Since this is less than or equal to the $28 that Apple has to spend, they can afford to buy the necessary ingredients to make the stir fry mix.

If a white dwarf in a binary star system gains mass beyond the Chandrasekhar limit (approximately 1.4 solar masses), it undergoes a runaway nuclear reaction, causing it to collapse and explode in a Type Ia supernova.

A white dwarf is a dense stellar remnant that is left behind after a star has exhausted all its nuclear fuel and has shed its outer layers. In a binary star system, the white dwarf may gain mass from its companion star, either through accretion or a merger. If the mass of the white dwarf exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, the gravitational forces become so strong that the electrons in the atoms are forced to combine with the atomic nuclei, forming neutrons. This process is called electron capture, and it releases a tremendous amount of energy.

The energy released is enough to ignite a runaway nuclear reaction, causing the white dwarf to collapse and explode in a Type Ia supernova. Type Ia supernovae are important cosmic events because they are used as standard candles to measure the distance to distant galaxies. These explosions are also believed to play a significant role in the chemical evolution of the universe, as they produce heavy elements such as iron and nickel that are scattered into the interstellar medium.

1. The area of square C is 625 ft². 2. The perimeter of square C is 46 ft. 3. The area of square B is 1456 ft². 4. The length of square A is 4√15 ft.

A key idea in geometry that connects the lengths of a right triangle's sides is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. It says that the hypotenuse's square length, which is the side that faces the right angle, is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides in a right triangle. It has the following mathematical expression:

a² + b² = c²

1. The area of square C can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Using the area the side is calculates as follows:

Side length of A = √225 = 15 ft

Side length of B = √400 = 20 ft

Now,

15² + 20² = c²

225 + 400 = c²

625 = c²

c = √625 = 25 ft

So the area of square C is:

Area of C = 25² = 625 ft²

2. The perimeter of square C can be found by adding up the side lengths of all three squares:

Perimeter of A = 36 ft, so each side length of A is 9 ft.

Perimeter of B = 48 ft, so each side length of B is 12 ft.

Perimeter of C = Side length of A + Side length of B + Side length of C

Perimeter of C = 9 + 12 + c

We found earlier that c = 25 ft, so we can substitute that in:

Perimeter of C = 9 + 12 + 25 = 46 ft

3. The area of square B can be found using the fact that the areas of squares A, B, and C are related by the equation:

Area of A + Area of B = Area of C

We know the area of A and the area of C, so we can solve for the area of B:

Area of A = 15² = 225 ft²

Area of C = 1681 ft²

Area of A + Area of B = Area of C

225 + Area of B = 1681

Area of B = 1456 ft²

4. Perimeter of B = 64 ft

Side length of B = 64 / 4 = 16 ft

Now we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side length of C:

a² + b² = c²

a = 15 ft (side length of A)

b = 16 ft (side length of B)

c = √(a² + b²) = √(15² + 16²) = √481 = 22 ft

Finally, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem again to find the side length of A:

a² + b² = c²

b = 16 ft (side length of B)

c = 22 ft (side length of C)

a = √(c² - b²) = √(22² - 16²) = √240 = 4√15 ft

The statement that best describes how pollination begins is that it starts when pollen from the male reproductive organ of a flower is transferred to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different flower. Pollination is an essential step in the reproduction of plants, and it allows for the exchange of genetic material between different plants.

Pollination can occur through various methods, including wind, water, and animals such as bees, butterflies, and birds. Once the pollen is transferred, it begins to grow and develop, ultimately leading to the formation of a seed and the growth of a new plant.

Pollination is vital to the continuation of plant life, and without it, many plant species would not be able to survive. It is essential for plant breeders to understand the pollination process, as they can use it to cross different plant varieties and produce new and improved plants.

In conclusion, pollination begins when pollen from the male reproductive organ of a flower is transferred to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different flower, allowing for the exchange of genetic material and the growth and development of new plants.

To solve this problem, we can use the Law of Cosines. Let's denote the distance between the man and Factory 1 as x, the distance between the man and Factory 2 as y, and the distance between the factories as z.

Given that the time difference for the man to hear the blasts from Factory 1 and Factory 2 is 4.2 seconds and 5.9 seconds respectively, we can calculate x and y using the speed of sound (344 m/s):

x = 4.2 seconds * 344 m/s = 1444.8 meters
y = 5.9 seconds * 344 m/s = 2030.4 meters

Now, we apply the Law of Cosines using the given angle of 40.8°:

z² = x² + y² - 2xy * cos(40.8°)
z² = 1444.8² + 2030.4² - 2(1444.8)(2030.4) * cos(40.8°)
z² ≈ 2904106.33

We know that if a ray stands on a straight line, then the sum of adjacent angles is 180°.

So, 28° + y° + 36° = 180°

y° + 64° = 180°

The quantity of heat which must be removed from the system in order to reduce the pressure from 2 bar to 1.6 bar is 4.23 kJ. The change in enthalpy per unit mass of the system is -123 kJ/kg, and the change in entropy per unit mass of the system is 0.134 kJ/kg-K.

To solve this problem, we need to use the steam tables to determine the properties of the steam at the initial and final conditions. We will assume that the system is undergoing a reversible, adiabatic process, so there is no heat transfer into or out of the system.

First, we determine the specific volume and enthalpy of the steam at the initial conditions of 2 bar and 0.9 dryness fraction. From the steam tables, we find that the specific volume is 0.4019 m^3/kg and the specific enthalpy is 2895.5 kJ/kg.

Next, we use the steam tables to find the specific volume and enthalpy of the steam at the final conditions of 1.6 bar. We find that the specific volume is 0.5059 m^3/kg and the specific enthalpy is 2772.5 kJ/kg.

The change in specific enthalpy per unit mass of the system is then given by:

Δh = h2 - h1 = 2772.5 - 2895.5 = -123 kJ/kg

The change in specific entropy per unit mass of the system is given by:

Δs = s2 - s1 = s2 - s1 = s2 - sf - x2*(sg - sf)

where sf and sg are the specific entropy of saturated liquid and saturated vapor at the final pressure of 1.6 bar, and x2 is the final dryness fraction. From the steam tables, we find that sf = 7.4332 kJ/kg-K, sg = 8.1248 kJ/kg-K, and x2 = 0.714.

Thus, we have:

Δs = s2 - s1 = s2 - sf - x2*(sg - sf) = (7.9757 - 7.4332) - 0.714*(8.1248 - 7.4332) = 0.134 kJ/kg-K

Finally, we can calculate the quantity of heat that must be removed from the system using the first law of thermodynamics:

Q = m*(h1 - h2) = m*Δh

where m is the mass of the steam in the system. To determine the mass of the steam, we use the specific volume at the initial conditions:

V = m/v1

where V is the volume of the system and v1 is the specific volume at the initial conditions. Substituting the given values, we have:

V = 85 L = 0.085 [tex]m^3[/tex]

m = Vv1 = 0.0850.4019 = 0.0344 kg

Substituting this value into the equation for Q, we obtain:

Q = mΔh = 0.0344(-123) = -4.23 kJ

Therefore, the quantity of heat which must be removed from the system in order to reduce the pressure from 2 bar to 1.6 bar is 4.23 kJ.

The length of the diagonal of a wide screen TV with an area of 150 inches and an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 is approximately 11.25 inches.

Aspect ratio refers to the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image or screen. In the case of a wide screen TV, the aspect ratio is 2.39:1, which means that for every 2.39 units of width, there is 1 unit of height.

To find the length of the diagonal of a wide screen TV with an area of 150 inches, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the diagonal is equal to the sum of the squares of the width and height.

First, we need to find the width and height of the TV screen. We can do this by setting up the equation:

2.39x^2 = 150

where x is the width of the screen. Solving for x, we get:

x = √(150/2.39) = 10.87 inches

Now we can find the height by dividing the width by the aspect ratio:

h = 10.87 / 2.39 = 4.55 inches

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the diagonal:

d^2 = 10.87^2 + 4.55^2 = 126.68

d = √126.68 = 11.25 inches

Therefore, the length of the diagonal of a wide screen TV with an area of 150 inches and an aspect ratio of 2.39:1 is approximately 11.25 inches.

[tex](5x * cos(5xz)) * (dz/dy) = -7x * e^(7xy) * (dx/dy) - 4Finally, divide by (5x * cos(5xz)) to isolate dz/dy:dz/dy = (-7x * e^(7xy) * (dx/dy) - 4) / (5x * cos(5xz))[/tex]

Answer:

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

calculate the slope m of  TU using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = T(- 7, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = U(- 2, - 6 )

[tex]m_{TU}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6-4}{-2-(-7)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-10}{-2+7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-10}{5}[/tex] = - 2

now calculate the slope of VW and equate to - 2

with (x₁, y₁ ) = V(8, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = W(7, y )

[tex]m_{VW}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y-7}{7-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y-7}{-1}[/tex]

now equating gives

[tex]\frac{y-7}{-1}[/tex] = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 to clear the fraction )

y - 7 = 2 ( add 7 to both sides )

y = 9
