A trough at the end of a gutter spout is meant to direct water away from a house. The homeowner makes the trough from a rectangular piece of aluminum that is 22IN long and 4 IN wide. He makes a fold along the two long sides a distance of inches from the edge.

(a) Write a function to represent the volume in terms of x

(b) What value of x will maximize the volume of water that can be carried by the gutter?

(c) What is the maximum volume?

Answer:

x = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5 / x + 7
combine like terms

X + 4x = 5x

5 + 7= 12

12/ 5x

Divide

12 /5= 2.4

X= 2.4

The value of angle x is determined as 55⁰.

The measure of angle x can be calculated by applying circle theorem which states that the angle at the center of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference of a circle.

This theorem is known as, "Angle at the Center Theorem" or "Central Angle Theorem". It states that the angle formed by two radii (lines segment from the center of the circle to any point on the circumference) of a circle is always twice the size of the angle formed by the same arc (portion of the circumference) when measured at the circumference.

The value of angle x is calculated as follows;

from the given figure;

m ∠MOL = 2 m∠MNL

110⁰ = 2x

x = ¹/₂ x 110⁰

x = 55⁰

Answer:

The common ratio of this geometric sequence is -1/2, so we have

a(7) = 16 × -1/2 = -8, a(8) = -8 × -1/2 = 4.

Dividing by -1/2 is the same as multiplying by -2. Working backwards, we have:

a(5) = -2 × 16 = -32

a(4) = -2 × -32 = 64

a(3) = -2 × 64 = -128

a(2) = -2 × -128 = 256

a(1) = -2 × 256 = -512

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can estimate 485% as 500%. We know that 500% is equal to 5.

Therefore,

The equation of the line through the points is 7y = -2x - 15.

The equation of a line that passes through two given points is calculated as follows;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where;

The slope is calculated as;

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (-3 + 1) / (3 + 4)

m = -2/7

The equation of the line is calculated as;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = (-2/7)(x - (-4))

y + 1 = (-2/7)(x + 4)

y + 1 = (-2/7)x - (8/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.96 cm is the value of the side x.

From the general formula of the sine rule:

[tex]\frac{sin\ a}{A} =\frac{sin\ b}{B} =\frac{sin\ c}{C}[/tex]

Where A, B, and C are the sides of the triangle and a, b, and c are the corresponding angles of the triangle.

In the given problem,

a= 90 degrees

A = 10 cm

b= 37 degrees

B = unknown

c =180 -90-37 = 53 (Sum of all inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees)

C = x

Thus,

x = 10 sin53°

x = 10*0.3959

A box plot—displays the five-number summary of a set of data.

The five-number summary is the

minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

In a box plot, we draw a box from the first quartile to the third quartile.

A vertical line goes through the box at the median.

So the median of this set of data = 7

only C & D show a median of 7.

Then, Just like the median divides the data into half so that 50% of the measurement lies below the median and 50% lies above it, the quartile breaks down the data into quarters so that 25% of the measurements are less than the lower quartile, 50% are less than the median, and 75% are less than the upper quartile.

Answer:

There were 480 customers on Friday.

To calculate the increase from Thursday to Friday, we can use the following formula:

```

Increase = (percent increase / 100) * starting value

```

In this case, the percent increase is 1/5, and the starting value is 400 customers. So, the increase is:

```

Increase = (1/5 / 100) * 400 = 8

```

This means that there were 8 more customers on Friday than there were on Thursday. So, the total number of customers on Friday is:

```

Total = Starting value + Increase

= 400 + 8

= 480

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that will be useful in finding the area of the triangle is: Pythagoras theorem

The formula to find the area of the triangle is expressed by the formula:

A = ¹/₂bh

Where:

b is base

h is height

Now, we have the base but we don't have the height.

Pythagoras Theorem is defined as the way in which we find the missing length of a right angled triangle.

The triangle has three sides, namely the hypotenuse (which is always the longest), Opposite (which doesn't touch the hypotenuse) and the adjacent (which is between the opposite and the hypotenuse).

Pythagoras is in the form of;

a² + b² = c²

where c is the hypotenuse

Thus, to find the height of the triangle, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get:

h = √(6² - 4²)

The value of the car went down by an average of $1,725 each year over the six-year period.

Depreciation is the loss in value of an asset due to factors such as age, wear and tear, market conditions, and obsolescence. It is usually calculated on a linear basis, meaning that the same amount of depreciation is spread evenly over a period of time.

In this case, the car was purchased for $22,995, and six years later it was worth $12,645.

To calculate the linear depreciation of the car, we need to subtract the value at the end of the period from the value at the beginning, and divide by the number of years:

Depreciation = ($22,995 - $12,645) / 6

Depreciation = $1,725

This means that the car depreciated by an average of $1,725 each year. In other words, the value of the car went down by an average of $1,725 each year over the six-year period.

Step-by-step explanation:

we can substitute book B as B

we can substitute book A as A

using the information above we can create an eqaution

we know B is $15.00 more than 3 times the cost of A

B = 3A + 15.00

we know the sum of the books is $75.00

A + B = 75.00

substitute B with eqaution 1 we will get

A + 3A + 15.00 = 75.00

4A + 15.00 = 75.00

- 15.00 -15.00

4A= 60.00

A = 15.00

Now a new crew of painters takes two times as long to paint a small apartment as the experienced crew  then,

x = 2y ----> 1

both crews can paint the apartment in 6 hours then,
