James is solving a number puzzle that involves three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer. The product of a and b is 6. The product of a and c is -4. The product of b and c is -6.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer.

The product of a and b is 6.

The product of a and c is -4.

The product of b and c is -6.

To find:

The values of a,b and c.

Solution:

According to the given information:

[tex]ab=6[/tex]        ...(i)

[tex]ac=-4[/tex]       ...(ii)

[tex]bc=-6[/tex]      ...(iii)

From (ii), we get

[tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}[/tex]          ...(iv)

From (iii), we get

[tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{c}[/tex]         ...(v)

Putting [tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}[/tex]  and [tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{c}[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]\dfrac{-4}{c}\times \dfrac{-6}{c}=6[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{c^2}=6[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{6}=c^2[/tex]

[tex]4=c^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]\pm \sqrt{4}=c[/tex]

[tex]\pm 2=c[/tex]

It is given that c is a positive integer. So, it cannot be negative and the only value of c is [tex]c=2[/tex].

Putting [tex]c=2[/tex] in (iv), we get

[tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]a=-2[/tex]

Putting [tex]c=2[/tex] in (v), we get

[tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]b=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the values of a,b,c are [tex]a=-2,b=-3,c=2[/tex].

What is the diameter of a sphere with a volume of 332\text{ cm}^3,332 cm 3 , to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

Answers

Answer:

The diameter is 8.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Sphere

[tex]Volume = 332cm^3[/tex]

Required

Determine the diameter of the sphere

First, calculate the radius using:

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]Volume = 332cm^3[/tex]

[tex]332= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\\[/tex]

Solve for r

[tex]r^3 = \frac{332 * 3}{4 * \pi}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = \frac{996}{4 * \pi}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = \frac{249}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = \frac{249}{3.142}[/tex]

[tex]r^3 = 79.25[/tex]

Take cube roots

[tex]r = \sqrt[3]{79.25}[/tex]

[tex]r = 4.3[/tex]

Diameter (D) is calculated as:

[tex]D = 2r[/tex]

[tex]D = 2 * 4.3[/tex]

Martina runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?

Answers

It may be 45 I think

Answer:

4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Martina runs 6 miles in 50 minutes, we have to find the rate at which she is running. Put it in a fraction [tex]\frac{6}{50}[/tex] or she runs 6 miles every 50 minutes. When we divide we get that she is running, 0.12 miles evrey minute. The question askes us how far Matina will run in 35 minutes, so we multiply 0.12 by 35, and we get that she will run 4.2 miles.

Answer:

64 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(I pulled this out of the comments in case someone else needs this answer. Easier to see as an answer than as comments in the app)

Area 2 is easier, so we’ll start with that one. Area of a rectangle is length x width.

8 x 6 = 48 square cm

Area 1 is a triangle, so the formula is 1/2(base)(height). The height of the triangle is 8, because it’s the same as the base of the rectangle. The base of the triangle is 4, because we can subtract the 6 from the rectangle from the total side length of 10. Does that make sense?

So 1/2 (4)(8)= 1/2(32) = 16 square cm

Then we add 16 + 48 = 64 square cm

Which expression represents the area of the shaded region?

Answers

Given:

A circle of radius r inscribed in a square.

To find:

The expression for the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

Area of a circle is:

[tex]A_1=\pi r^2[/tex]

Where, r is the radius of the circle.

Area of a square is:

[tex]Area=a^2[/tex]

Where, a is the side of the square.

A circle of radius r inscribed in a square. So, diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square.

[tex]a=2a[/tex]

So, the area of the square is:

[tex]A_2=(2r)^2[/tex]

[tex]A_2=4r^2[/tex]

Now, the area of the shaded region is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the circle.

[tex]A=A_2-A_1[/tex]

[tex]A=4r^2-\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]A=4r^2-\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]A=r^2(4-\pi )[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is (a).

How many 1 -by-1 -by-1 -inch cubes fit inside of this
rectangular prism?

Answers

The number of 1 -by-1 -by-1 -inch cubes that can fit inside of this rectangular prism 120 cubes.

Volume of a rectangular prism

volume = lwh

where

l = lengthw = widthh = height

Therefore,

volume = 10 × 3 × 4 = 120 inches³

Volume of the cube = l³

where

l = side length

Therefore,

volume = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1 inches³

Therefore, the number of 1 -by-1 -by-1 -inch cubes that can fit inside of this rectangular prism is as follows;

number of cube = 120 / 1 = 120 cubes

16. You decide to drop a penny off the top of the Willis Tower (fromerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago, IL. The
height of the penny (in feet) can be represented by the equation h= -16t2 + 1451 where t is time (in seconds).
a) How long will it take for the penny to hit the ground? Show any work that leads to your answer.

Answers

Answer:

9.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation that represents the height of the penny as a function of time is:

h(t) = -16*t^2 + 1451

Where the height is in ft, and the time is in seconds.

a) We want to know how long takes the penny to hit the ground.

Well, the penny will hit the ground when its height is equal to zero.

Then we need to solve for t:

h(t) = 0 = -16*t^2 + 1451

0 = -16*t^2 + 1451

16*t^2 = 1451

t^2 = 1451/16 = 90.7

t = √90.7 = 9.5

This means that it takes 9.5 seconds to hit the ground.
