Travel_Word_Problems/203761: Please help me solve, Iam unsure how to set up the problem... it shows in the book also but I cannot understand the explanation #10. A student finishes the first half of an exam in 2/3 the time it takes to finish the second half . If the entire exam takes an hour, how many minutes does she spend on the first half of the exam? The back of the book sets up the problem like this... 5/3S = 60, then 3/5 * 5/3S = 3/5*60, then S=36.... I do not understand how they came up with the 5/3, then I figured 2/3 + 2/3 + 1hr = 5/3, but why did they multiply the recipricols and then place 3/5 on the other side *60? 1 solutions Answer 153739 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-07-21 13:59:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the time, in minutes, it took to finish the second half of the exam. Then we are given that is the time, in minutes, it took to finish the first half of the exam. Add these two quantities for the total time, again in minutes, to finish the exam which is 60 because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So: But , so: So far, so good. There are two ways to go about solving from here. You can either multiply both sides by 3: And then multiply both sides by : Or, you can combine those two steps into one, as your book shows, but multiplying by the reciprocal of the fractional coefficient on the variable. (That is because we know that ) Achieving the same result, as one would expect. John

Finance/203764: Geometry A square pool has side length p. The border of the pool is 1 ft wide. The combined area of the border and the pool is 400 ft^2.

If the pool is square and the border is uniformly 1 foot wide all the way around, then the side length of the outside edge of the border must be The overall area must then be Solve for (exclude the negative root) and John

Travel_Word_Problems/203758: Please help me solve, Iam unsure how to set up the problem... it shows in the book but I cannot understand the explanation #6. If a car travels 1/100 kilometer each second, how many kilometers does it travel in an hour? I tried this 1/100*120 seconds... this is not right, I dont understand why. 1 solutions Answer 153732 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-07-21 12:54:28 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm not exactly sure how you derived the 120 in , but I suspect that you added 60 seconds per minute to 60 minutes per hour. That makes as much sense as adding 3 apples to 4 math homework assignments -- which is to say no sense at all. Each minute consists of 60 seconds. So, the first minute is 60 seconds, and the second minute has 60 seconds, so 2 minutes has seconds. 3 minutes would be seconds, and so on. But an hour has 60 minutes, so an hour is , for 60 terms of 60 each which is the same as So what you need is: John

Polygons/203689: how many diagonals can be drawn from each vertex of a decagon? 1 solutions Answer 153676 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-07-20 21:43:27 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! One less than the number of vertices, which is the same as the number of sides. John

Geometric_formulas/203316: This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra Needn help finding the area of a square. The problem states: Find a polynomial A(x) that represents the area of the shaded region in the accompanying figure. There is a picture of this square with the variables and shading, I have included my book info so that you can see what I am talking about thanks. My try: (x+2)^2? 1 solutions Answer 153396 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-07-17 00:39:07 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Nice of you to leave your book info. Not that it will do any good. There are hundreds of Algebra texts in current use, each of which has a price tag of $50 to $150. You do the math.

You didn't specify, but I suspect that is your universe set. It has to be, otherwise expressions like don't make any sense. Given that S is the Universe set, , read 'the complement of A', means "everything that is in S that is NOT in A". The union of two sets is everything that is in one set and everything in the other set as well. It will be helpful to first enumerate . First we have a set of integers, larger than zero but less than ten, so: and then we have the letters of the word 'dice': Put them all together: From that set, cross out each element of and you are left with the complement of , or You should be able to figure out the rest.

Trigonometry-basics/203165: 2/(x-2)*2 1. what is the vertical asymptote 2. horizontal symptoto 3. what are the zeros if any ? 1 solutions Answer 153317 by solver91311(16868)   on 2009-07-15 19:36:57 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is a vertical asymptote at where is any value that would make the denominator zero, provided that it doesn't make the numerator zero also. Compare the degree of the numerator polynomial to the degree of the denominator polynomial. If the degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator, then there is a horizontal asymptote at . If the degree of the numerator and denominator are the same, then there is a horizontal asymptote at where is the lead coefficient of the numerator and is the lead coefficient of the denominator. If the degree of the numerator is larger than the degree of the denominator by 1 then there is an oblique asymptote whose equation is the quotient excluding any remainder obtained by performing polynomial long division of the numerator by the denominator. In order for a rational expression to be equal to zero, there must be a value of the variable that makes the numerator equal to zero. So to answer your question, you must ask yourself "Is there any value of the variable that will cause 2 to be equal to zero?" If there are, then those values are the zeros of the rational expression. If not, then there are no zeros. John

Graph the two lines. Note that (0,0) is in the solution set for both of them, hence the solution set for each of the inequalities is the half-plane region below and to the left of the graphed line. The two non-negative constraints further bound the area of feasibility to above and to the right of the coordinate axes. See graph: Considering the two non-negative constraints, the area of feasibility is the quadrilateral region bounded by the two coordinate axes, the green graph line on the top and the red graph line on the right. The proof is beyond the scope of this discussion, so take it on faith that the optimum point will be one of the vertices of the feasibility area, namely: (0,0), (0,16), (26,0), or (20, 8). Substitute the coordinate values for the 4 possible optimum points into your objective function and see which one has the maximum result. You can calculate the other two and decide which is maximum.

The 'upsidedown v', means "and" in English. Replace every instance of with the word "and". The 'v' symbol, means "or" in English. Replace every instance of with the word "or". The tilde, (~) means "not" in English. Where ever you see the (~) symbol in front of a statement, insert the word "not" into the statement at a place where it makes sense. For example would be "It is not raining" (rather than "Not it is raining", "It not is raining", or "It is raining not"). An arrow that has an arrowhead only on the right means "if. . .then" Put the statement that precedes the arrow after the 'if' and before the 'then', and put the statement that follows the arrow after the 'then'. A double headed arrow means "if and only if", and the statement to the left of the double headed arrow would come first, then "if and only if" followed by the statement to the right of the arrow. Otherwise, replace the variables , , and with the statements that define them. John
