The opening under a bridge is in the shape of a semielliptical arch and has a span of 82 feet. The height of the arch, at a distance of 9 feet from the center, is 28 feet. Find the height of the arch at its center. Hint: let the center of the horizontal span be (0, 0).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

28.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola is in the form:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\ \\where\ (\pm a,0)=major\ axis,(0,\pm b)=minor\ axis[/tex]

The bridge can be represented as:

Since the width of the bridge is 82 feet, therefore 2a = 82, a = 41

[tex]\frac{x^2}{41^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2}=0\\ \\The\ point\ (9,28)\ lie\ on \ the\ ellipse\ hence\ substituting:\\\\\frac{9^2}{41^2} +\frac{28^2}{b^2}=1\\\\0.048+\frac{28^2}{b^2}=1\\\\\frac{28^2}{b^2}=1-0.048=0.952\\\\b^2=824\\\\b=\sqrt{824}\\ \\b=28.7 \\\\[/tex]

The arch is 28.7 feet from its center

Which inequality is represented by this graph?

Answers

Answer:

y≤-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise/run, aka the slope, would be 1/3 because you move down/up one, and to the side 3. It is -1/3 because the line is going up to down.

Since the y-intercept is 1, you would be adding 1 to the end of the equation.

4. Marlene purchases dollars worth of stock on her broker's advice and pays her
broker a 1.5% broker fee. She sells her stock when it increases to y dollars two
years later, and uses a discount broker who charges $21 per trade.
A. Express Marlene's net proceeds algebraically.

Answers

Answer:

y - 1.015x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let worth of stock = x

Broker fee = 1.5% of x = 0.015x

Total cost incurred to purchase stock = x + 0.015x = 1.015x

Worth of stock after 2 years = y

Broker fee = $21 per trade :

Amount Realized from sale = y - $21

Net proceed = Amount Realized from sale - cost incurred to purchase

= (y - 21) - (1.015x)

= y - 21 - 1.015x

= y - 1.015x - 21

Two containers are leaking water.Container A Leaked at a rate of 2/3 a gallon every 1/4 an hour. Container B leaked at a rate of 3/4 a gallon every 1/3 an hour. Which container is is losing water faster?

Answers

Answer:

container A is losing water faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the rate of water loss in container A = 2/3 a gallon every 1/4 an hour

the rate of water loss in container B = 3/4 a gallon every 1/3 an hour

Determine the rate of water loss for each container;

Container A:

Volume of water loss,  V = 2/3 a gallon

time of water loss, t = 1/4 an hour = 15 minutes

rate of water loss, Q = V/t

[tex]Q = (\frac{2 }{3}\ gallon) *(\frac{1}{15 \ mins} )\\\\Q = \frac{2}{45}(\frac{gallon}{mins}) = 0.0444 \ gpm[/tex]

Container B:

Volume of water loss,  V = 3/4 a gallon

time of water loss, t = 1/3 an hour = 20 minutes

rate of water loss, Q = V/t

[tex]Q = (\frac{3}{4} \ gallon)*(\frac{1}{20 \ mins})\\\\Q = \frac{3}{80} (\frac{gallon}{mins}) = 0.0375 \ gpm[/tex]

The rate of container A is higher than container B, thus container A is losing water faster

The length of a book cover is 28.3 cm and the width of the book cover is 21 cm. What is the minimum width?explain

Answers

Answer:

The minimum width of the book = 20.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the book cover = 28.3 cm

The width of the book cover = 21 cm

Given that the uncertainty in measurement should be included due to the likelihood of error in measurement, the uncertainty in measurement can be presented as follows;

Measurement = (Best estimate + Uncertainty) units

Whereby the display of the measuring device is limited to one decimal place, we can have the measurement of the width, w, as follows;

Width of the book = (21 ± 0.1) cm

The range of the width of the book is therefore 20.9 cm to 21.1 cm

The minimum width of the book = 20. cm

3. A random survey of the quality of Raleigh city parks is taken. Sixty-five percent of the people surveyed were pleased with the condition of the parks. If 280 people were surveyed, then how many were pleased?

Answers

Answer: 182 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Number of people surveyed = 280

Percentage of people pleased = 65%

The number of people that were pleased will be:

= Percentage of people that were pleased × Number of people surveyed

= 65% × 280

= 65/100 × 280

= 0.65 × 280

= 182

182 people were pleased with the condition of the park

Step-by-step explanation:

Kelsey has to pay $200 to rent a booth at the craft fair. The materials for each pendant cost $7.80, and she plans to sell each pendant for $13.50. To make a profit, she must make more money than she spends. Kelsey has already made 10 pendants.
Part C
It takes Kelsey 5 hours to make 12 pendants. If she works 8 hours per day for 3 days before the craft fair, can she make enough additional pendants to sell so that she can make a profit of at least $50? Explain.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate how much she will spend:

She has to pay $200 for the rent.

She made 10 pendants that costed $7.80 each, that's a total of 10*$7.80 = $78.

Therefore, she will spend $200 + $78 = $278.

Let's define x as the amount of pendants she makes.  

To make a profit, the amount of pendants she makes, multiplied by $13.50 that is the price, has to be greater than $280 added to the amount of pendants she makes, multiplied by $7.80 that is the cost.

We write that as  

13.50x > 280 + 7.80x

Let's subtract 7.80x on both sides:

13.50x -7.80x > 280 + 7.80x - 7.80x

5.70x > 280

Now we divide by 5.70 on both sides:

5.70x/5.70 > 280/5.70

x > 49.1

To make profit, she needs to make and sell more than 49 pendants.
