A weight of 15 ounces stretches a spring 10 inches. A weight of 24 ounces stretches the same spring 16 inches. How many inches does the spring stretch per ounce of additional weight?

Answers

Answer 1
F = k x 
15 = k *10 
k = 1.5 

check: 
24 = 1.5 x 
x = 16 sureenough 

so 1.5 oz/inch 
= 1/1.5 inches/oz = 2/3 = 0.6666.... in/oz
Answer 2

The spring stretch  0.6 inches per ounce of additional weight.

What is a unitary method?

A unitary method is a mathematical way of obtaining the value of a single unit and then deriving any no. of given units by multiplying it with the single unit.

Given, A weight of 15 ounces stretches a spring 10 inches.

∴ Inches increase of the spring per ounce of weight is the total increase in length divided by the total weight,

= (10/15) inches.

= 0.6 inches of increase in length per ounce.

an ice cream factory makes 200 quarts of ice cream in 10 hours . How many quarts could be made in 12 hours? what was that rate per day ?

Answers

200=10x divide by 10 and get 20=x. they make 20 quarts of ice cream every hour. multiply by 12, we get 240=12x. they can maek 240 quarts in 12 hours
first you need to determine the ammount of icecream per hour, so 200 divided by 10.    you get 20 quarts per hour.  so if you go for twelve hours you do 20 times 12 which is 240 so, 240 per 12 hours, and you have 24 hours in a day so multiply 240 times 2 and you get 480 quarts per day

Marco wants to set up 12 small turbines with 3 blades each.If 4 wind turbines blades cost $79.64,how much will all the blade cost?

Answers

Hello!


If Marcos has 12 turbines with 3 blades / turbine, then 36 blades. If 4 blades cost $ 79.64, then how much do the 36 blades cost?

Let's make a simple three rule:

Blade ___ price

4 ----------- 79.64
36 --------- y


4 * y = 36 * 79.64
4y = 2,867.04
[tex]y = \frac{2,867.04}{4} [/tex]

y = 716.76

The 36 blades cost $ 716.76

If Marco wants to set up 12 small turbines with 3 blades each. If 4 wind turbines blades cost $79.64 then $716.76 costs for all blades.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions connected with an equal sign is called ad equation.

Given Marco wants to set up 12 small turbines with 3 blades each. If 4 wind turbines blades cost $79.64, then we have to find the cost of all blades.

Each turbine has 3 blades, so for 12 tubines we have

3×12=36 blades.

If 4 blades cost is  $79.64, then we have to find cost of 36 blades.

Let y be the cost of 36 blades.

4 /36= 79.64/y

Use cross multiplication,

4 * y = 36 * 79.64

4y = 2,867.04

y=716.76

Therefore 36 blades cost is $ 716.76.

y= 1/2x + 2 is the answer
the easiest way to determine the equation of this line is to 
1) determine the y-intercept, and 
2) use the given slope to come up with another point on the line.

Looking at the graph, you can easily see that the graph crosses the y-axis at (0,2).  Thus, the y-intercept is 2.  

Now let's determine the slope of this line:

Begin at the point (-4,0) (which happens to be the x-intercept).

Move 4 units from there to the right.  How many units UP must you then travel to reach the graph?  call this "m."

Then the slope is m/4.

Then the equation of the line is   y = mx + b, or

                                                     y=(1/2)x + 2     or    y = x/2 + 2

The requried factor of the given quadratic expression  [tex]3x^2 + 4x - 4[/tex] is (3x-2). Option C is correct.

To find the factor of the quadratic expression [tex]3x^2 + 4x - 4[/tex], we need to identify two binomials that, when multiplied together, result in the given expression.

The expression is in the form of [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex], where a = 3, b = 4, and c = -4.

To factor the quadratic expression, we look for two binomials of the form (mx + p) and (nx + q) such that:

(mn) = a (which is 3 in our case), and

(pq) = c (which is -4 in our case).

Now, we need to find the factors of 3 and -4:

Factors of 3: 1, 3

Factors of -4: 1, -1, 2, -2, 4, -4

Now, we need to find combinations of these factors such that their product is 3 (the coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex]) and -4 (the constant term). The combination that works is:

3 * -1 = -3

So, the two binomials are (3x - 2) and (x + 2) because:

[tex](3x - 2) * (x + 2) = 3x^2 - 2x + 6x - 4\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 3x^2 + 4x - 4[/tex]

Therefore, the correct factor is C.) (3x - 2).

Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time. When Dina reached the end of the 10 km, Masha still had 2 km left to bike. If Dina’s biking speed was 5 km/h, find Masha’s biking speed.

Answers

4 km/h because 10-2 because of the 2 km left which =8 then you divide that by 2 to figure out the km per hour which = 4 so 4 km/h

Answer:

4 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Dina and Masha started out on a 10 km bike path at the same time.

Distance = 10 km

Dina’s biking speed was 5 km/h

Time taken by Dina is Distance / speed

So [tex]time (Dina) = \frac{10}{5} =2[/tex]

Time taken by Dina is 2 hours

Same time is taken by Masha but 2 km left

So distance covered by Masha in 2 hours is 10-2 = 8 km

We know speed = distance / time

[tex]speed of Masha = \frac{8}{2}=4[/tex]

Masha’s biking speed= 4km/hr

Let a, b, c, and d be constants. Describe the possible solution sets of the inequality ax+b

Answers

Final answer:

An inequality's solution set is determined by its specific properties. For a quadratic inequality, it can be solved by first finding the roots with the quadratic formula and then testing ranges between the roots to see where the inequality holds.

Explanation:

The question seems a bit incomplete, as there is no inequality provided related to constants a, b, c, and d. Typically, if we had a complete inequality, the solution set would depend on the specifics of the inequality. For instance, if we took a quadratic inequality, ax²+bx+c>0, or ax²+bx+c<0, we would solve it by finding the roots using the quadratic formula (-b ± √b² - 4ac) / 2a, which gives us the values of x where the expression equals zero, and testing regions determined by these roots to find where the inequality holds. However, without a specific inequality provided, it's difficult to describe the possible solution sets accurately.

Jason is standing on the ground and throws a ball vertically upward with an initial speed of 80 ft/sec.  Its height after t seconds is given by h = 80t-16t^2 
a) How high does the ball go?  
b)  How many seconds does it take to reach maximum height?
c) When does the ball hit the ground?   

Answers

Hello, I think you are missing extra information, another formula to go with this problem. 
Using calculus,
the velocity equation will be the derivative of the h function that gives.
v=80-32t

At its highest point the velocity=0, so we set v=0 and solve for t.
0=80-32t
32t=80   t=2.5 seconds
the height at this point would be
h=80(2.5)-16(2.5)^2
h=200-16(6.25)=200-100=100
A) h=100ft

B) at t=2.5 seconds

The ball will take an additional 2.5 seconds to come back down. Therefore the total time for it to hit the ground would be 
C) 5 seconds.

Find the distance from the point (4, 1, −1) to the plane x − 2y + 2z + 3 = 0

Answers

I believe the answer is -17????
Distance from point (4,1,-1) to plane x-2y+2z+3 = 0 is 1. The formula for the distance from a point to a plane is d = abs(Ax + By + Cz + D) / sqrt(A^2 + B^2 + C^2) where d = distance (x,y,z) = coordinates of point A,B,C,D = coefficients of equation for the plane For this problem, the values for A,B,C,and D are A=1, B=-2, C=2, and D=3. So substituting the known values into the equation, we get: d = abs(1*x - 2*y + 2*z + 3) / sqrt(1^2 + (-2)^2 + 2^2) d = abs(1*4 - 2*1 + 2*(-1) + 3) / sqrt(1 + 4 + 4) d = abs(4 - 2 - 2 + 3) / sqrt(9) d = abs(3) / 3 d = 1
