the average length of string a and string d is 10x cm. the average length of string b and string c is 8x cm . the average length of strings b , c , d is 6x cm . find the length of string a in terms of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a = 18x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex]

Required

The value of (a)

We have:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex] --- multiply by 2

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex] --- multiply by 2

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex] --- multiply by 3

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex]

[tex]a + d = 20x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex]

[tex]b + c = 16x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex]

[tex]b + c + d= 18x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]b + c = 16x[/tex] in [tex]b + c + d= 18x[/tex]

[tex]16x + d = 18x[/tex]

Solve for d

[tex]d = 18x - 16x[/tex]

[tex]d = 2x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]d = 2x[/tex] in [tex]a + d = 20x[/tex]

[tex]a + 2x = 20x[/tex]

Solve for (a)

[tex]a = 20x - 2x[/tex]

[tex]a = 18x[/tex]

A scientist is studying the growth of anew species of bacteria. Looking back on his meticulous records, the scientist sees that his starting population was 50 bacteria. Five hours later, he measured 550 bacteria. What is the population of the bacteria after 10 hours, after 20 hours?

Answers

Answer:

In 10 hours, the population is 6050 bacteria. In 20 hours, the population is 732050 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacterial populations can be assumed to grow exponentially. In 5 hours, since the population will have multiplied by 11, in 10 hours it will have multiplied by 121 (11^2) and by 14641 (11^4).

50 * 11 * 11 = 6050

50 * 11 * 11 * 11 * 11 = 732050

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

550 = 50 [tex]x^{5}[/tex]

11 =   [tex]x^{5}[/tex]

ln(11) = 5 ln(x)

x = [tex]e^{ln(11)/5}[/tex]

x = 1.615

10 hours ....

A= 50 ([tex]1.615^{10}[/tex] )

A= 50 ([tex]1.615^{10}[/tex] )

A=6050

20 hours ....

A= 50 ([tex]1.615^{20}[/tex] )

A= 50 ([tex]1.615^{20}[/tex] )

A=732,050

What is the area of the triangle in centimeters
squared?

Answers

Answer:

A = 112cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = (bh) / 2

b = base length and h  = height

The triangle shown has a given base length of 14cm and a given height of 16cm

Hence area = ( 16 * 14 ) / 2

16 * 14 = 224

224 / 2 = 112

A = 112cm²

the length of rope P is three times the length of rope Q. After 10cm of rope is cut from rope P and rope Q respectively, the length of rope P is four times the length of Q. Calculate the original length, in cm, of rope P before it is cut.

Answers

Answer:

150 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question includes;

The length of rope P = 3 × The length of rope Q

The length of rope P - 10 cm  = 4 × (The length of rope Q - 10 cm)

Let p represent the original length of rope P and let q represent the original length of rope Q, we have;

p = 3·q...(1)

p - 10 = 4·(q - 10)...(2)

Expanding equation (2) gives;

p - 10 = 4·q - 40

∴ p = 4·q - 40 + 10 = 4·q - 50

p = 4·q - 50...(3)

Equating the values of p in equation (1) and equation (3) gives;

p = 3·q, and p = 4·q - 50, therefore, by the substitution property of equality, we have;

3·q = 4·q - 50

50 = 4·q - 3·q = q

q = 50

p = 3·q

∴ p = 3 × 50 = 150

The original length of P before it was cut, p = 150 cm.

Answers

Answer:

D: 9.041 × 10^(10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression is;

(9.84 × 10^(10)) - (7.99 × 10^(9))

To subtract this, we need to ensure that both terms have the same powers.

Thus, (7.99 × 10^(9)) = (0.799 × 10^(10))

Lets now solve;

>> (9.84 × 10^(10)) - (0.799 × 10^(10))

Collecting like terms we have;

(9.84 - 0.799) × 10^(10)

>> 9.041 × 10^(10)
