What is the cost? 1 solutions Answer 246655 by Alan3354(30982)   on 2010-09-18 10:37:22 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! A telephone wire is to be laid from the telephone company to an island 7 mi off shore at a cost of $200,000 per mile along the shore line and $300,000 per mile under the sea. How should the wire be laid @ the least expensive cost if the distance along the shoreline in 12 miles. What is the cost? ------------ This forms a right triangle with the shore side 12 miles long and the base = 7 miles to the island. x = the distance along the shore from the perpendicular from the island. The distance on land = 12 - x miles The distance under water = sqrt(x^2 + 49) miles The cost C = 200*(12-x) + 300*sqrt(x^2 + 49) (Cost in $1000) ------------- dC/dx = -200 + 300x*(x^2 + 49)^(-1/2) = 0 3x*(x^2 + 49)^(-1/2) = 2 3x = 2sqrt(x^2 + 49) 9x^2 = 4x^2 + 196 x^2 = 196/5 x = 2.8sqrt(5) miles for minimum cost --------------------------------------- Length of cable = 12 - 2.8sqrt(5) + sqrt(88.2) L = 12 - 2.8sqrt(5) + 4.2sqrt(5) L = 12 + 1.4sqrt(5) miles total L =~ 15.13 miles ----------------- Cost = 200*(12-x) + 300*sqrt(x^2 + 49) (Cost in $1000) C = 2400 - 560sqrt(5) + 1260sqrt(5) = 2400 + 600sqrt(5) Cost =~ $3,741,641

B. If there are 5280 feet in one mile, how long would it take an object to fall 1-1/2 miles? C. If it takes an object 5.9 seconds to fall d feet, how tall is the object? I tried sloving with a graphic calculator but I am not certain on how to show work. Please help 1 solutions Answer 246498 by Alan3354(30982)   on 2010-09-17 14:41:52 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! t=sqrt(d)/4 where d is the distance A. how long does it take a quarter dropped from a 35foot roof to reach the ground? t = sqrt(35)/4 seconds ---------------- B. If there are 5280 feet in one mile, how long would it take an object to fall 1-1/2 miles? 1.5 miles = 7920 feet t = sqrt(7920)/4 ---------------- C. If it takes an object 5.9 seconds to fall d feet, how tall is the object? If you mean it falls from the height of the object: d = 16t^2 = 16*5.9^2

Write equation on Ax +By = C form 1 solutions Answer 246431 by Alan3354(30982)   on 2010-09-17 10:31:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given 2 points example. Find the equation of the line thru the points (2,1) and (3,5) --------------------- This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points. slope, m = diffy/diffx m = (5-1)/(3-2) m = 4 --------- Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept. y = mx + b 5 = 4*3 + b b = -7 ------- y = mx + b y = 4x - 7 is the answer. ------------------------ Another approach using determinants: |x y 1| |2 1 1| = 0 |3 5 1| -------- x(1-5) - y(2-3) + 1(10-3) = 0 -4x + y + 7 = 0 y = 4x - 7 --------- For further assistance, or to check your work, email me via the thank you note or at Moral Loophole@aol.com

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/344438: A triangle has a side of length x . The second side of the triangle is 2 inches longer than the first side. The third side is 4 inches longer than the first side. The square of the first side plus the square of the second side is equal to the square of the third side. What is the length if each side of the triangle? USE THE 5-STEP METHOD. This is how much I've figured out so far: x²+(x+2)²=(x+4)² x²+x²+2x+2x+4 = x²+4x+4x+16 x(4)+4+4 = x²+8x+16 -4x -4x x(4)+4 = x² +4x+16 x(4)+4-4 = x²+4x+16-4 x(4) = x²+4x+12 -x² = -x² So if x²=4x+12, SOLVE FOR X. I think the answer is 6, but I don't know the procedure. I.E, x=5 x=6 25=20+12 36=24+12 25=32 36=36 6²+8²+10² 36+64 =100 x=6 I need help ASAP, please!!!
