18 POINTS! At the AoPS office, mice vary inversely with cats, that is, mice=k/cats, for some value of k. When there are 3r-19 cats, there are 2r+1 mice, and when there are 6r-27 mice, there are r-5 cats. Find k. Please help, and do not answer with an "I don't know" or "Sorry, this is too hard." Thank you all!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

k=30

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of mice vary inversely with cats. This is written as:

[tex]Mice \propto \dfrac{1}{Cat} \\Mice = \dfrac{k}{Cat}[/tex]

When there are 3r-19 cats, there are 2r+1 mice

[tex]2r+1 = \dfrac{k}{3r-19}\\$Cross multiply$\\k=(3r-19)(2r+1)[/tex]

When there are 6r-27 mice, there are r-5 cats.

[tex]6r-27 = \dfrac{k}{r-5}\\$Cross multiply$\\k=(6r-27)(r-5)[/tex]

Taking the values of k above, we have:

[tex]k=(3r-19)(2r+1) =(6r-27)(r-5)\\(3r-19)(2r+1) =(6r-27)(r-5)\\6r^2+3r-38r-19=6r^2-30r-27r+135\\$Collect like terms\\6r^2-6r^2+3r+30r-38r+27r-19-135=0\\22r-154=0\\22r=154\\$Divide both sides by 22\\r=7[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]k=(3r-19)(2r+1) \\=(3*7-19)(2*7+1)\\=(21-19)(14+1)\\=2*15\\k=30[/tex]

Write in standard form an equation for the line with slope 1/3 through
the point (2,-2).

Answers

Answer:

x - 3y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)  where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

So substituting the given values:

y - (-2) = 1/3(x - 2)

y + 2 = 1/3x - 2/3     Multiply through by 3:

3y + 6 = x - 2

x - 3y  =  6 + 2

Each handful of cheese covers 21 sqaure inches. How much handful of cheese they need to cover 5 slices of cheese with a area of 125.7in

Answers

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the number of slices of cheese (5) by the area of each slice (125.7)

125.7 (5) = 628.5 in2

Finally we have to divide that result by the area that each handful of cheese covers (21 in2)

628.5 / 21 = 29.92 = 30 handful of cheese

Answers

Answer:

D. 1,248 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the rectangular prism = length*width*height = 12*8*13 = 1248 cubic units

Answer: D. 1,248 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a rectangular prism volume is: V = Length x Width x Height.

In this question it already gives us all of the sides that we need! So all we need to do is just multiply all the sides together to get the volume.

12 x 8 x 13 = 1,248. Therefore D is correct!

Complete question:

Emily convinced her mom to buy a giant box of her favorite cereal. Her mom doesn't think the box will fit on their shelf. The volume of the box is 10,000 cm^3 cubed. The base of the box is 25cm by 10cm.

How tall is the box of cereal?

Answer: 40cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

A box is normally in the shape of a cube

formula of volume of a cube;

We want to find the height(tallness)

Volume=LengthxWidthxHeight

Volume = 10,000cm^3

Base of box = 25cm by 10cm,

Base of box = Length × width

Therefore:

Length = 25cm, Width = 10cm

Volume = Lengh × Width × Height

10,000cm^3 = 25cm × 10cm × Height

10,000cm^3 = 250cm^2 × Height

Height = 10,000cm^3 ÷ 250cm^2

Height = 40cm

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

PLATO

So, sin E=0.5. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, AB║DE and sinA= 0.5.

We need to find the value of sin E.

How to find the value of sin?

The value of sinθ must always be between −1 and 1. So the domain of f(x) = sinθ contains all the real numbers, but the range is −1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1. We can also see that the function repeats itself every 360°.

Now, sinA = 0.5

⇒∠A=30°

∠A=∠E=30° (∵∠A and ∠E are alternate angles)

 

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points.

Answers

Answer:

y = x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope

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

m = (7-3)/(2 - -2)

   =(7-3)/(2+2)

  = 4/4

   = 1

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b

y = x+b

Substitute a point in

7 = 2+b

Subtract 2 from each side

5 =b

y = x+5

Answer:

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

= (7 - 3) / (2 - (-2))

= 4/4

= 1

Since y = mx + b and m = 1,

y = (1) * x + b

y = x + b

7 = 2 + b

b = 5

Putting b = 5 in y = x + b, we get:

y = x + 5

Answers

Answer:

576π in² and 1,809 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, the formula for the area of a circle, or A = πr², will need to be used.

In this question, we are only given the diameter. Simply divide by 2 to calculate the radius:

48/2 = 24 inches.

Now, plugging this into the equation for the Area of a Circle, gets us:

A = π24²

A = 576π or 1808.64 in².

Looking at the answer choices, we can choose 576π in² and 1,809 in² (as 1808.64 ≈1809)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the gradient of a line,

divide the value of decrease by the value across.

So, count across from the extreme left toll the extreme right = 13

Where you completed in the extreme right, you have to count down till you reach the other end of the line = 6.5

Now, you divide: 6.5 divided by 13 = 0.5

Since we counted down, it is negative = -0.5
