If $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are replaced by four distinct digits from $1$ to $9$, inclusive, then what's the largest possible value of the difference $a.b - c.d$ ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is 18.3Dollar replacement 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct answer

Given that a, b, c, and d are different numbers (from 1 to 9), we are to find the largest possible value of a.b + c.d.

This problem can be answered by trial and error and with some logic. Clearly, a to d cannot be at the lower end of the values (1 to 5). Since the digits must be different, it can be a combination of digits from 6 to 9.

It is rather tempting to say that the 9.8 + 7.6 would yield the highest possible sum (=17.4) but this is incorrect. Since it is the sum of two numbers with a decimal, we have to maximize on the one-digit first before maximizing the tenths digit. Therefore: the combination of numbers must then be:

9.7 + 8.6 which results to 18.3

9.6 + 8.7 yields 18.3 as well.

Dollar replacement

For the value of the difference to be largest, the minuend should be maximum(most possibly) and the subtrahend should be minimum

[in A-B=X, A is minuend and B is subtrahend ]

So, $a.b should be the maximum. as there is a condition that 4 digits should be distinct, the product will be maximum if we choose 2 maximum valued numbers from the given numbers. so, one of them should be 9 and the other should be 8.

Therefore, $a.b=9*8=72

As mentioned above, c.d$ should be minimum. this will be possible only when we choose  2 minimum valued numbers from the given numbers. so, one of them should be 1 and the other should be 2.

Therefore, c.d$ = 1*2 = 2

Hence, the difference = 72-2 = 70

Thus,  the largest possible value of the difference $a.b - c.d$ = 70

Answer 2

Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The units digits matter most, so we make a as large as possible (a=9) and make c as small as possible (c=1). Then we can use any of the digits from 2 through 8. We still want b as large as possible and d as small as possible so we set b=8 and d=2. This gives a maximum possible difference of 9.8 - 1.2 = 8.6.

Fond the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of internal angles in a triangle is equal to 180

58 + 47 + x = 180

105 + x = 180 subtract 105 from both sides

x = 75

This is an acute triangle so each angle has to be less than 90 degrees in total we already have 105 and then lastly you can find out the last angle is kind of the same angle of angle 58 so its closer to 58 than 47 this is just a clue to the answer because I cant measure the angle from over the screen.

The sum of two numbers is 24. Three times the smaller numbers is 3 less than twice the larger number. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

9, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller number

y = larger number

system of equations:

x + y = 24

3x = 2y - 3

substitution method:

x = 24 - y

3(24 - y) = 2y - 3

72 - 3y = 2y - 3

72 = 5y - 3

75 = 5y

y = 15

x + 15 = 24

x = 9

4. Two rectangular corrals are to be made from 100 yds. of fencing. If a rancher wants the
total area to be maximized, what should the dimensions of the coral be?

Answers

The dimensions of the coral if the area is maximized will be 50/3 yards by 25yards.

Measurement is a branch of mathematics used in determining the area and volume of an object.

From the question,

Let the length of the two rectangular corrals be x

Let the length of the three fence section be y

Note that the area of the rectangle A = length * width

A = xy .....1

Also, since the rectangular corrals are to be made from 100 yd, then;

3x + 2y = 100 ..... 2

Divide through by 2

3x/2 + 2y/2 = 100/2

1.5x + y = 50

y = 50 - 1.5x .... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1 to have:

A = x(50-1.5x)

A = 50x - 1.5x²

Since the total area is to b maximized, this means that:

dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 50 - 3.0x

0 = 50 - 3x

3x = 50

x = 50/3 yards

Substitute the value of x into equation 3:

y = 50 - 1.5x

y = 50 - 1.5(50/3)

y = 50 - 25

y = 25yards

Hence the dimensions of the coral if the area is maximized will be 50/3 yards by 25yards.

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 329. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults. There are half as many adults as there are children. If the total ticket sales was $ 2388, How many children, students, and adults attended?

___ children attended.
___students attended.
____adults attended.

Answers

Answer:

170 children

74 students

85 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

[tex]C = Children; S = Students; A = Adults[/tex]

For the capacity, we have:

[tex]C + S + A = 329[/tex]

For the tickets sold, we have:

[tex]5C + 7S + 12A = 2388[/tex]

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

[tex]A = \frac{C}{2}[/tex]

Required

Solve for A, C and S

The equations to solve are:

[tex]C + S + A = 329[/tex] -- (1)

[tex]5C + 7S + 12A = 2388[/tex] -- (2)

[tex]A = \frac{C}{2}[/tex] -- (3)

Make C the subject in (3)

[tex]C = 2A[/tex]

Substitute [tex]C = 2A[/tex] in (1) and (2)

[tex]C + S + A = 329[/tex] -- (1)

[tex]2A + S + A = 329[/tex]

[tex]3A + S = 329[/tex]

Make S the subject

[tex]S = 329 - 3A[/tex]

[tex]5C + 7S + 12A = 2388[/tex] -- (2)

[tex]5*2A + 7S + 12A = 2388[/tex]

[tex]10A + 7S + 12A = 2388[/tex]

[tex]7S + 22A = 2388[/tex]

Substitute [tex]S = 329 - 3A[/tex]

[tex]7(329 - 3A) + 22A = 2388[/tex]

[tex]2303 - 21A + 22A = 2388[/tex]

[tex]2303 +A = 2388[/tex]

Solve for A

[tex]A = 2388 - 2303[/tex]

[tex]A = 85[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]C = 2A[/tex]

[tex]C = 2 * 85[/tex]

[tex]C = 170[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]S = 329 - 3A[/tex]

[tex]S = 329 - 3 * 85[/tex]

[tex]S = 329 - 255[/tex]

[tex]S = 74[/tex]

Hence, the result is:

[tex]C = 170[/tex]

[tex]S = 74[/tex]

[tex]A = 85[/tex]

Find the f to the nearest whole number​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12 or 103

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle is opposite the shorter side, so there will be two solutions.

In order to find f, we need to know angle F. We can find that by first finding angle E.

  E = arcsin(e/d·sin(D)) = arcsin(71/62·sin(36°)) = 42.307° or 137.693°

  F = 180° -D -E = 180° -36° -{42.307°, 137.693°} = {101.693°, 6.307°}

Then the measure of f is ...

  f = sin(F)/sin(D)×d = 62/sin(36°)×sin({101.693°, 6.307°})

  f = {103.29, 11.59}

Side f is either 12 or 103.

Answer:

103

Step-by-step explanation:

Find ∠E

sin E / 71 = sin 36° / 62sin E = 71 (sin 36°) / 62sin E = 0.673m∠E = arcsin (0.673)m∠E =  42° (rounded)

Find m∠F

m∠F = 180° - (36° + 42°) = 102

Find f

sin 102° / f = sin 36° / 62f = (62 sin 102°) / (sin 36°) f = 103 (rounded)
