a pyramid whose altitude is 5ft weighs 800lbs. at what distance from its vertex must it be cut by a plane parallel to its base so that the two solids of equal weight will be formed?

Answers

Answer 1

A structure which has a square base and four triangular sides meeting at a point is called pyramid.

At distance of 3.97 feet from its vertex , pyramid is cut by plane  so that the two solids of equal weight will be formed.

It is assumed that weight of pyramid is proportional to its volume.

So,   [tex]w = k V[/tex] , where V is volume of original pyramid and v is volume of small pyramid and k is constant.

Let us consider that at h  distance,  pyramid is cut from its vertex. So a small pyramid is also formed.

Assume that base area of original pyramid is A and base of small pyramid is a.

Volume of original pyramid is,   [tex]V= \frac{1}{3} *A* 5[/tex]

So, weight of original pyramid,  [tex]W = k *(\frac{1}{3} *A* 5) = 800[/tex]

Volume of small pyramid is,  [tex]v = \frac{1}{3}* a* h[/tex]

So, weight of small pyramid, [tex]w = k*(\frac{1}{3}* a* h)=400[/tex]

Since, base and height of small pyramid and original pyramid are in proportion.

So,  [tex]\frac{a}{A} = (\frac{h}{5}) ^{2}[/tex]

       [tex]a = (\frac{h}{5} )^{2}A[/tex]

Substituting value of a in  equation [tex]k*(\frac{1}{3}* a* h)=400[/tex]

So, [tex]k*(\frac{1}{3}* \frac{h^{2} }{25}A * h)=400[/tex]

       [tex](k*\frac{1}{3}* A*5)*\frac{1}{5} *\frac{h^{2} }{25} * h)=400[/tex]

Since, [tex](k *\frac{1}{3} *A* 5) = 800[/tex], substitute in above equation.

    So, [tex]800*\frac{h^{3} }{125}=400\\\\h^{3}=\frac{125}{2}\\\\h=\sqrt[\frac{1}{3} ]{62.5}\\\\h=3.97 feet[/tex]

Suppose y = sqrt 2x+1, where x and y are functions of t.
(a) If dx/dt = 9, find dy/dt when x = 4.
(b) If dy/dt = 3, find dx/dt when x = 40.

Answers

If y = √(2x + 1), then differentiating both sides implicitly with respect to t gives

dy/dt = 1/2 • 1/√(2x + 1) • 2 • dx/dt = 1/√(2x + 1) • dx/dt

(a) If dx/dt = 9 and x = 4, then

dy/dt = 1/√(2•4 + 1) • 9

dy/dt = 1/√(8 + 1) • 9

dy/dt = 1/√9 • 9

dy/dt = 9/3

dy/dt = 3

(b) If dy/dt = 3 and x = 40, then

3 = 1/√(2•40 + 1) • dx/dt

3 = 1/√(80 + 1) • dx/dt

3 = 1/√81 • dx/dt

3 = 1/9 • dx/dt

dx/dt = 27

Bears vs. Wildcats footbal game.
The number of Wildcat fans was
250 less than three times the
number of Bear fans in attendance
How many Wildcat fans were at
the game? How many
Bear Fans were there?

Answers

The number of Wildcat fans were at  the game is 3557.

The number of  bears fans at the game is 1269.

Let:

W = number of wildcats fans at the game

B = number of bears fans at the game.

The total number of fans at the game: W + B = 4826

This equation can be used to represent the number of wildcats fans at the game: W = 3b - 250

Replace for w in the above equation:

3b - 250 + b = 4826

To determine the value of b, take the following steps

Combine and add similar terms

4b = 5076

Divide both sides by 4

b = 1269

To determine the value of w, substitute for b in the first given equation.

W + 1269 = 4826

w = 4826 - 1269

w = 3557

B 1.) As time increases the amount of candy in the container decreases. At what rate is the amount of candy decreasing?
_____ pounds per minute?

B 2.) As time increases the amount of candy in the container increases. At what rate is the amount of candy increasing?
____pounds per minute?

Answers

Answer:

  A) 20 pounds

  B.2) (increasing) 60 pounds per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The graph shows the container has 20 pounds in it at x=0 minutes.

__

B) The graph goes up to the right (is increasing).

At minute 0, the container has 20 pounds.

At minute 1, the container has 80 pounds.

The increase in one minute is 80-20 = 60 pounds per minute.

The initial amount of candy in the container is 2 pounds.  As time increases, the amount of candy in the container decreases at a rate of 1 pound per minute.

A.) The amount of candy in the container at 0 minutes is 2 pounds.

B1.) As time increases, the amount of candy in the container decreases. The rate at which the amount of candy is decreasing is 1 pound per minute.

B2.) As time increases, the amount of candy in the container increases. However, this option is not applicable in this case as the graph shows a decreasing trend.

Answers

Answer:

80o, 60o, 40o

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum has to add up to 180 degrees because of the three sides and this is what matches.

Answer:

Let the given angles of the triangle be 4x, 3x and 2x.

We know that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Therefore,

4x+3x+2x = 1809x = 180x = 180/9x = 20

Hence, the angles of the triangle are -

4x = 4×20 = 80°3x = 3×20 = 60°2x = 2×20 = 40°

The brand manager for a brand of toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determine the percentage of adults who have heard of the brand. How many adults must he survey in order to be % confident that his estimate is within percentage points of the true population percentage

Answers

Using the margin of error, it is found that he must survey 601 adults in order to be 95% confidence that his estimate is within 4 percentage points of the true population percentage.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

95% confident, hence:

[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex].

We have no estimate, hence, [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex] is used.

Within 4%, hence, it is needed to find n for which M = 0.04.

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96(0.5)}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96(0.5)}{0.04}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 600.25[/tex]

Rounding up, 601 adults must be sampled.

simplify by expressing with radicals n√x^3^n​

Answers

We can work with the exponents to simplify our expression, and we will get:

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x^{3n}} = x^3[/tex]

How to simplify the expression?

Remember that a root of degree n is equivalent to an exponent of 1/n.

This means that we can rewrite a root of degree n as:

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}[/tex]

Then our expression:

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x^{3n}}[/tex]

Can be rewritten as follows.

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x^{3n}} = (x^{3n}})^{1/n}[/tex]

Now we have the exponent of an exponent, that means that we just need to take the product between the two exponents.

Now we can take the product of the exponents to get.

[tex]\sqrt[n]{x^{3n}} = (x^{3n}})^{1/n} = x^{3n*1/n} = x^3[/tex]

You can see that in the third step the exponents n and 1/n cancell eachother, so we end only with the exponent 3.

That is the expression simplified.
