a) To find the total surface area of the cuboid, we need to find the area of each face and then add them up.

Area of one face = length x width

Area of top and bottom faces = 1.1 m x 0.55 m = 0.605 m² (2 faces)

Area of front and back faces = 2.2 m x 0.55 m = 1.21 m² (2 faces)

Area of side faces = 2.2 m x 1.1 m = 2.42 m² (2 faces)

Total surface area = (2 x 0.605) + (2 x 1.21) + (2 x 2.42) = 7.7 m²

Each tin of varnish covers 20 m², so Emma needs:

Number of tins = (total surface area x number of coats) / coverage per tin

Number of tins = (7.7 x 3) / 0.02 = 1155

Emma needs to buy 1155 tins of wood varnish.

b) The cost of each tin of varnish is $3.99 for 100 ml. To find the cost of 1155 tins, we first need to convert the volume of varnish needed into liters.

Volume of varnish needed = (total surface area x number of coats) / coverage per litre

Volume of varnish needed = (7.7 x 3) / 20 = 1.155 liters

The number of tins required to make up 1.155 liters of varnish is:

Number of tins = (1.155 / 0.1) = 11.55

So Emma needs to buy 12 tins of varnish. The total cost is:

Total cost = cost per tin x number of tins

Total cost = $3.99 x 12 = $47.88

The total cost of the wood varnish is $47.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can cut it 4 ways to obtain equal parts on both sides. It's along the same as the symmetry of a square.

A comparison of the cost of each for 100 g indicates that the standard which costs about $1.13 per 100 grams is more expensive than the supersize which costs about $0.69 per 100 g and the supersize is more expensive than the economy which costs $0.575 per 100 g.

The order of the cost of the brands from cheapest to most expensive can be presented as follows;

The cost per unit is the cost of a number of items, divided by the number of units of the item.

The unit cost of the brands of cereal sold at the supermarket are therefore;

Unit cost per 100 gram for Standard = $2.49/220 g × 100 ≈ $1.13/g

Unit cost per gram for Economy = $5.00/725 g × 100 = $100/145/ g ≈ $0.69/g

Unit cost per gram for Supersize = $11.50/2kg × 100 = $1150/2,000 g ≈ $0.575/g

Based on the above unit cost, we get;

1.13 > 0.69 > 0.575

Therefore, the cheapest brand is the supersize with a cost per 100 gram of $0.575/g, followed by the economy, with a cost per 100 grams which is about $0.69/g then the most costly is the standard, with a cost per 100 gram of $1.13/g

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a = 80°, b = 100°, c = 80°, d = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

You know a + b + c + d = 360°.

Plugging b + c + d = 280° into the formula above:

a + 280° = 360°.

a = 80°.

You know a + d = 180° because of angles on a straight line. Solve for d:

80° + d = 180°.

d = 100°.

For the same reason, you know a + b = 180°. b must be equal to d, which is 100°.

Lastly, c + d = 180° because they make up the second line. Solve for c:

c + 100° = 180°.

c = 80°.

a = 80°, b = 100°, c = 80°, d = 100°.

Step-by-step explanation:

We Know

(10x - 4) + (x - 14) must equal 180°

Find the value of x.

Let's solve

10x - 4 + x - 14 = 180

11x - 18 = 180

11x = 198

x = 18

So, x = 18 is the answer.

our final estimate for the area under the curve f(x)=1/x on [1,2] using 4 approximating rectangles and taking the average of the left and right endpoints is 0.76.

To estimate the area under the curve f(x)=1/x on [1,2], we can use 4 approximating rectangles.

a) Using left endpoints, the width of each rectangle is (2-1)/4 = 0.25. The left endpoints of the rectangles are 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75. The height of each rectangle is f(x) evaluated at the left endpoint.

So, the heights are f(1) = 1/1 = 1, f(1.25) = 1/1.25 = 0.8,

f(1.5)=1/1.5 = 0.67, and f(1.75) = 1/1.75 = 0.57.

The area of each rectangle is width times height, so the areas are

0.25*1 = 0.25, 0.25*0.8 = 0.2, 0.25*0.67 = 0.1675, and 0.25*0.57 = 0.1425.

Adding these areas together, we get an estimate of the total area under the curve as

0.25 + 0.2 + 0.1675 + 0.1425 = 0.76.

b) Using right endpoints, the width of each rectangle is the same as before. The right endpoints of the rectangles are

1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2.

The heights are f(x) evaluated at the right endpoint. So, the heights are

f(1.25) = 0.8, f(1.5) = 0.67, f(1.75) = 0.57, and f(2) = 0.5.

The areas of the rectangles are the same as before, so adding them up, we get an estimate of the total area as

0.2 + 0.1675 + 0.1425 + 0.25 = 0.76,  

which is the same as before.
c) To get the average of the two estimates, we add them together and divide by 2:

(0.76+0.76) / 2 = 0.76.

The dimensions of the cylinder that minimize the production cost are:

radius = approximately 2.78 cm

height = 600 / (πr^2) ≈ 7.14 cm

paper top radius = 2.5 cm

Let's start by finding the formula for the cost of the container in terms of its dimensions.

The volume of the cylinder is given as 600 cubic centimeters, so we have:

πr^2h = 600

where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is its height. Solving for h, we get:

h = 600 / (πr^2)

The surface area of the cylinder is given by:

A = 2πrh + 2πr^2

Substituting h in terms of r, we get:

A = 2πr(600/(πr^2)) + 2πr^2

= 1200/r + 2πr^2

The cost of the container is the sum of the cost of the styrofoam sides and bottom and the cost of the paper top. Let's call the radius of the paper top R, and assume that the height of the cylinder is greater than or equal to the radius of the paper top, so that the top can be completely covered with paper. Then the cost of the container is:

C = 0.04(2πrh + πr^2) + 0.05(πR^2)

Substituting h in terms of r, we get:

C = 0.08πr(600/(πr^2)) + 0.04πr^2 + 0.05πR^2

= 4.8/r + 0.04πr^2 + 0.05πR^2

To minimize the cost, we need to find the values of r and R that minimize the cost function C. To do this, we take the partial derivatives of C with respect to r and R, and set them equal to zero:

dC/dr = -4.8/r^2 + 0.08πr = 0

dC/dR = 0.1πR = 0

Solving for r and R, we get:

r = ∛(60/π) ≈ 2.78 cm

R = 2.5 cm

We can check that these values give us a minimum by checking the second derivatives:

d^2C/dr^2 = 9.6/r^3 + 0.08π > 0 (minimum)

d^2C/dR^2 = 0.1π > 0 (minimum)

Therefore, the dimensions of the cylinder that minimize the production cost are:

= (-4x-3)^2 + (-4x-3) + 9 (substituting g(x) into f(x))

= 16x^2 + 24x + 18

Therefore, (fg)(x) = 16x^2 + 24x + 18.

Next, we need to find the quotient function (f/g)(x):

(f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)

= (x^2 + x + 9) / (-4x - 3) (substituting f(x) and g(x))

To simplify this expression, we can use polynomial long division or synthetic division. Using synthetic division, we get:

  -4 |   1    1    9

      |_____-4__ 12

      |  1  -3   21

Therefore, (f/g)(x) = -4x + 3 - 21 / (-4x - 3)

Simplifying further, we get:

(f/g)(x) = -4x + 3 + (21/4)(1/(x + 3/4))

Therefore, (f/g)(x) = -4x + 3 + (21/4)(1/(x + 3/4)).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the appropriate fraction for the line plot, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of all the pencil lengths, and then express each length as an equivalent fraction with the GCF as the denominator.

The GCF of the pencil lengths is 1. Therefore, we can simply express each pencil length as an equivalent fraction with 1 as the denominator:

3/1, 7/1, 8/1, 5/1, 1/1, 4/1, 6/1, 8/1, 4/1, 2/1, 5/1

Now, we can see that the smallest unit increment we can use on the line plot is 1/8. This is because 1/8 is the smallest fraction that can represent all of the pencil lengths above the label (5/8, which is equivalent to 10/16).

Therefore, the students should use 1/8 as the fraction for the line plot.

The linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books is y = $6.50 + $1.00x and for 10 comic books, the second store has the better deal.

A linear function is a mathematical function where the graph of the function is a straight line. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where x and y are the variables, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line intersects the y-axis). The slope represents the rate of change of the function, while the y-intercept is the value of the function when x is equal to zero.

To write a linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books, we can use the given information to set up a system of equations:

Poster + 2 Comics = $7.50

Poster + 11 Comics = $16.50

We can solve for the cost of the poster and the cost of one comic book by subtracting the first equation from the second:

9 Comics = $9.00

1 Comic = $1.00

Then, we can use the cost of one comic to set up a linear function rule:

y = cost of poster + cost of x comics

y = $6.50 + $1.00x

Therefore, the linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books is y = $6.50 + $1.00x.

For the second store, the linear function rule is given as y = $5.75 + $1.00x.

To determine which store has the better deal, we can compare the cost of each package for a specific number of comic books. For example, if we want to buy 10 comic books, the cost at the first store would be:

y = $6.50 + $1.00(10) = $16.50

The cost at the second store would be:

y = $5.75 + $1.00(10) = $15.75

Therefore, for 10 comic books, the second store has the better deal. However, for a different number of comic books, the better deal may be at a different store. We can use the linear function rules to compare the costs for any number of comic books

Just trust me

The graph best represents the function y = f(x) = 7x, an exponential function.

The graph represents the function y = 7x, which is an exponential function. In an exponential function, the variable x is the base, and the exponent is a constant, which in this case is 7. This means that the function grows rapidly as x increases, creating a steep curve on the graph.

The other two options, y = f(x) = log7x and y = f(x) = x7, are not represented by the given graph.

The function y = f(x) = log7x is a logarithmic function, which has a different shape on the graph, with a horizontal asymptote and the x-axis acting as its asymptote.

The function y = f(x) = x7 is a polynomial function, where x is raised to the power of 7, and it would have a different pattern on the graph compared to the exponential function shown.

Kimo should make 5 loads in the small truck and 4 loads in the large truck per day to minimize the total cost while meeting the delivery and union requirements.

What is the equivalent expression?

Equivalent expressions are expressions that perform the same function despite their appearance. If two algebraic expressions are equivalent, they have the same value when we use the same variable value.

the total cost will be minimized when the loads are distributed in the following way:

5 loads in the small truck (total capacity of 5 * 50 = 250 cubic yards)

4 loads in the large truck (total capacity of 4 * 70 = 280 cubic yards)

This will result in a total of 9 loads and a total capacity of 530 cubic yards, which meets both the daily minimum delivery requirement of 350 cubic yards and the union contract requirement of 9 loads per day.

The total cost can be calculated as follows:

Cost of 5 loads in small truck = 5 * $87 = $435

Cost of 4 loads in large truck = 4 * $73 = $292

Total cost per day = $435 + $292 = $727

The coefficient 24,400 in the function S(t) represents the initial value of the sedan, which is the value of the car at t=0. The base 0.82 represents the decay rate or the percentage decrease in the value of the sedan each year. Similarly, in the function P(t), the coefficient 35,900 represents the initial value of the pickup truck and the base 0.71 represents the decay rate of the value of the pickup truck.

Since the base of the sedan's value decay is 0.82, it indicates that the value of the sedan decreases by 18% each year. Whereas the base of the pickup truck's value decay is 0.71, indicating that the value of the pickup truck decreases by 29% each year. Therefore, we can observe that the value of the pickup truck depreciates faster than the sedan. After two years, the value of the sedan would be approximately $16,650, and the value of the pickup truck would be approximately $14,161. After five years, the value of the sedan would be approximately $9,237, and the value of the pickup truck would be approximately $6,155.

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = L * W, and the perimeter is given by P = 2L + 2W.

From the given information, we have two equations:

Equation 1: A = 150 square centimeters

Equation 2: P = 62 centimeters

Substituting the formulas for area and perimeter, we get:

Equation 1: L * W = 150

Equation 2: 2L + 2W = 62

To solve these equations, we can use substitution or elimination. Let's solve by substitution:

From Equation 1, we can express one variable in terms of the other:

L = 150 / W

Substituting this into Equation 2:

2(150 / W) + 2W = 62

300 / W + 2W = 62

300 + 2W^2 = 62W

2W^2 - 62W + 300 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation. We can solve it by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. In this case, let's use factoring:

[tex]2W^2 - 62W + 300 = 0[/tex]

(W - 10)(2W - 30) = 0

This gives us two possible solutions:

W - 10 = 0 -> W = 10

2W - 30 = 0 -> W = 15

Since the width cannot be longer than the length, we discard the solution W = 15.

So, the width of the bookmark is W = 10 centimeters.

Now, we can substitute this value into Equation 1 to find the length:

L * 10 = 150

L = 150 / 10

L = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

√4x^2=2x

The variance of first n even natural numbers is n²-1/12. So, the correct option is (a) .

The first n even natural numbers can be represented as 2, 4, 6, ..., 2n. The mean or expected value of this sequence is given by:

mean = (2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n) / n

= 2(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n) / n

= 2n(n+1)/2n

= n+1

The variance of a sequence is the average of the squared differences from the mean, so we need to calculate:

Var = [(2- (n+1))² + (4- (n+1))² + (6- (n+1))² + ... + (2n- (n+1))²] / n

Simplifying the expression inside the brackets and using the formula for the sum of the first n integers, we get:

Var = [4(1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n²) - 4(n+1)(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n) + n(n+1)²] / n

Substituting the formula for the sum of the first n squares and the sum of the first n integers, we get:

Var = [4n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 - 4(n+1)n(n+1)/2 + n(n+1)²] / n

Simplifying and factoring out (n+1), we get:

Var = (n+1)(n² - 1) / 3

Thus, the correct option is (a) n²-1/12.
