The sum of two numbers is 52 . The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number .What are the numbers

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

Angles formed when we turn clockwise in the given directions,

a) N to E → 90°

b). W to NE → (90° + 45°) = 135°

c). SE to NW → 180°

d). NE to N → 360° - 45° = 315°

e). W to NE → 90° + 45° = 135°

f). S to SW → 45°

g). S to SE → 360° - 45° = 315°

h). SE to SW → 180°

The following triple represents the side lengths of a triangle. Determine whether the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, a 30-60-90 triangle, or neither.2, 1, 2squared3.

Answer Choices:
a.
45-45-90 triangle
c.
neither
b.
30-60-90 triangle

Answers

If the sides of the triangle have lengths of: 2, 1, and 2√3

Then, the triangle is a

c. neither a 45-45-90 triangle nor a 30-60-90 triangle.

Looking at the lengths, if the triangle is a right triangle
2 and 1 must be the measure of the legs
2√3, the measure of the hypotenuse

If we use the Pythagorean theorem,
2^2 + 1^2 = (2√3)^2
5 = 12 (not correct)

Therefore, the triangle is not a right trangle

Isabel reads 24 chapters of a book in 8 hours. what is the rate in chapters per hour?can someone please show me the steps to help me find the answer​

Answers

GiveN:

  • Isabel reads 24 chapters of a book in 8 hours.

ToFind:

  • What is the rate in chapters per hour?

Step-wise-StepExplanation:

Considering that Isabel reads the book at a constant rate or we can say that no. of books she read is same for all the 8 hours.

⇒ In 8 hours = 24 chapters

⇒ In 1 hour = 24 / 8 chapters

⇒ In 1 hour = 3 chapters

That means, Isabel reads 3 chapters per hour with the same pace. The Question can be simply solved by using Unitary method.

Answer:

the unit rate, in chapters per hour, would be how many chapters in one hour --- but, for 23 chapters/78 hours = this fraction (23/78) is already in simplified (i.e., reduced) form --- i.e., 23 is prime, and 78 = 2(39) = 2(3)13, so 23 and 78 contain no factors in common --- so, the unit rate would be (23/78) chapters per hour --- if the problem had been, for example, 23 chapters in 69 hours, then the unit rate would have been (23/69) chapters per hour = (1/3) chapters per hour, or one chapter every 3 hours (though this is not a unit rate)

Suppose that c (x )equals 7 x cubed minus 70 x squared plus 13 comma 000 x is the cost of manufacturing x items. Find a production level that will minimize the average cost of making x items.

Answers

Answer:

A production level that will minimize the average cost of making x items is x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

c(x)=7x^3-70x^2+13,000x

is the cost of manufacturing x items

To find a production level that will minimize the average cost of making x items:

The average cost per item is f(x)=(c(x))/(x)

Now  we get f(x)= 7x^2-70x+13000

f(x) is continuously differentiable for all x

Here x≥0 since it represents the number of items.,

Put x=0 in 7x^2-70x+13000

For x=0 the average cost becomes 13000

f(0)=7(0)^2-70(0)+13000

=13000

∴ f(0)=13000

To find Local extrema :

Differentiating f(x) with respect to x

f^(\prime) (x)=14x-70=0

14x=70

x=(70)/(14)

∴  x=5 gives the minimum average cost .

At x=5 the average cost is

f(5)=7(5)^2-70(5)+13000

=12825

∴ f(5)=12825 which is smaller than for x=0 is 13000

∴ f(x) is decreasing between 0 and 5 and it is increasing after 5.
