Travis made 44 and 72 on the first two tests in algebra and has one test remaining. The average on the three tests must be at least 60 for Travis to pass the course. Let s represent his score on the last test.
Write an inequality to describe each situation.
total score in 3 tests = 44+72+s = 116+s
average = (116+s)/3...this should be atleast 60..so
(116+s)/3 >=60
116+s>=180
s>=180-116=64
s>=64

Express 2x^2+2y^2-12x+16y=-32.DIVIDING BY 2
x^2+y^2-6x+8y=-16
[X^2-2(X)(3)+3^2]-3^2+[Y^2+2(Y)(4)+4^2]-4^2=-16
(X-3)^2+(Y+2)^2=9=3^2
THIS IS IN THE STD.FORM OF

The owner of a highway construction company knows that the maximum load (L SAY)a cylindrical column of circular cross section can support varies directly as the fourth power of the diameter(D SAY) and inversely as the square of the height(H SAY). If a column 2 feet in diameter and 10 feet high supports up to 6 tons, how much of a load can a column 3 feet in diameter and 14 feet high support?
L = K*D^4*1/H^2...WHERE K IS A CONSTANT
CASE 1..
6=K*2^4/10^2=16K/100
K=6*100/16=75/2=37.5
CASE 2
L=37.5*3^4/14^2 = 37.5*81/196 = 15.5 T.

What is the area defined by the following graphs:
|x|+|y| is greater than or equal to 2
CASE 1 ..X AND Y POSITIVE..WE GET...X+Y>=2
CASE 2...X + VE Y - VE.....WE GET ..X-Y>=2
CASE 3...X -VE..Y -VE......WE GET ..-X-Y>=2
CASE 4...X - VE..Y..+ VE...WE GET ...-X+Y>=2
and |x|+|y| is less than or equal to 5
SAME WAY WE GET HERE X+Y<=5......X-Y<=5......-X-Y<=5.......-X+Y<=5
GRAPH LOOKS LIKE THIS


it is the area of square with side of 5sqrt(2) - area os square with side of 2sqrt(2) = 5*sqrt(2)*5*sqrt(2)-2*sqrt(2)*2*sqrt(2) =50-8=42

Find the center and the radius of the circle whose equation is given: x^2+y^2+6x+8=0
[X^2+2(X)(3)+3^2]-3^2+Y^2+8=0
(X+3)^2+Y^2=1
COMPARING WITH STD EQN.
(X-H)^2+(Y-K)^2 =R^2
CENTRE = (H,K) = (-3,0)
RADIUS =R =1

Center = (_,_) Radius = _


Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/55204: I have this problem that I would like someone to check my work:
If a skydiver jumps from an airplane at a height of 8256 feet, then for the first five seconds, her height above the earth is approximated by the formula h = -16t^2 + 8256. How many seconds does it take her to reach 8000 feet?
WORK DONE :
What I have done is:
h = 16^t + 8256
h = -16t^2 + 8256 = 8000
h = -16t^2 + 8256 - 8000 = 0
-16t^2 + 256 = 0
-16t^2 + 256 - 256 = - 256
16t^2 = -256
-16t^2/16 = -256/-16
t^2 = 16
t = 4

Solve and find exact solutions.
4^(2x-1)=1/2 =2^(-1)
[2^2]^(2x-1)=2^(-1)
2^{2(2x-1)}=2^(-1)
2(2x-1)=-1
4x-2=-1
4x=1
x=1/4

24. The owner of a highway construction company knows that the maximum load a cylindrical column of circular cross section can support varies directly as the fourth power of the diameter and inversely as the square of the height. If a column 2 feet in diameter and 10 feet high supports up to 6 tons, how much of a load can a column 3 feet in diameter and 14 feet high support?

24. The owner of a highway construction company knows that the maximum load (L SAY)a cylindrical column of circular cross section can support varies directly as the fourth power of the diameter(D SAY) and inversely as the square of the height(H SAY). If a column 2 feet in diameter and 10 feet high supports up to 6 tons, how much of a load can a column 3 feet in diameter and 14 feet high support?
L = K*D^4*1/H^2...WHERE K IS A CONSTANT
CASE 1..
6=K*2^4/10^2=16K/100
K=6*100/16=75/2=37.5
CASE 2
L=37.5*3^4/14^2 = 37.5*81/196 = 15.5 T.


Angles/54924: One angle of a triangle has a measure of 70 degrees. The other two angles have degree measures in a ratio of 5 to 6. What is the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the two largest angles?
I first tried 50 +60=110+70=180. Then I realized that 180 is the sum of all of the angles in a triangle, so it couldn't be right. Thanks if you can help!

One angle of a triangle has a measure of 70 degrees. The other two angles have degree measures in a ratio of 5 to 6. What is the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the two largest angles?
I first tried 50 +60=110+70=180.
ONE ANGLE =70
HENCE SUM OF OTHER 2 ANGLES = 180-70=110...YOU ARE CORRECT!WHY DOUBT?
SINCE ANGLES ARE IN 5:6 RATIO...TAKE THEM AS 5X,6X
5X+6X=11X=110...HENCE X=110/11=10
SO THE 2 ANGLES ARE 50,60..
Then I realized that 180 is the sum of all of the angles in a triangle, so it couldn't be right.
WHY IT IS RIGHT ..SUM OF 3 ANGLES 50,60,70 IS 180
Thanks if you can help!

SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE AND TRY FOR SLOPE AND A POINT PROBLEM
FOR THE 2 POINT PROBLEM SOLUTION IS AS FOLLOWS.
------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Write the slope-y-intercept equation form of the line which passes through the 2 points: X1,Y1=(-3,1), (0,6)=X2,Y2
FORMULA IS
Y= (Y2-Y1)(X-X1)/(X2-X1)+Y1
Y=(6-1)(X+3)/((0+3) + 1
Y=5(X+3)/3 +1
Y=(5X/3)+ 6.................M=5/3=SLOPE.........6=Y INTERCEPT
----------------------------------------------------------------
use the given conditions to write an equation in the point-slope form and the slope-intercept form...thank you
slope=-2 = M , passing through (0, -3) = X1,Y1
FORMULA IS
Y=M(X-X1)+Y1
Y=-2(X-0)+(-3)= -2X-3

THESE ARE MATERIAL BALANCE PROBLEMS.THE PRINCIPLE IS
TO APPLY
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS..
THIS PRINCIPLE CAN BE APPLIED TO TOTAL MIXTURE AS A
WHOLE AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE
MIXTURE.LET US SEE THE APPLICATION USING YOUR PROBLEM.
HERE THE MIXTURE COMPRISES 2 INPUTS-REGULAR YOGURT
(RY) & NO FAT YOGURT (NFY)
AND ONE OUT PUT-LOW FAT YOGURT (LFY).THE COMPONENT OF
IMPORTANCE IN THE MIXTURE IS FAT CONTENT.SO WE TAKE 2
BALANCES HERE ..ONE FOR THE TOTAL MIXTURE AND ANOTHER
FOR COMPONENT OF FAT IN THE MIXTURE.
I..TOTAL BALANCE...
INPUTS
1.QTY.OF.RY=X POUNDS
2.QTY OF NFY=Y POUNDS
OUT PUT
1.QTY.OF LFY=60 POUNDS
SO APPLYING
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS.....WE GET
X+Y=60.............................I
II..COMPONENT BALANCE..HERE IT IS FAT .
INPUTS
1.QTY.OF FAT IN RY=X*3/100=3X/100 POUNDS
2.QTY OF FAT IN NFY=Y*0/100=0 POUNDS
OUT PUT
1.QTY.OF FAT IN LFY=60*1/100=60/100 POUNDS
SO APPLYING
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS.....WE GET
3X/100 + 0=60/100.............................II
3X=60
X=20 POUNDS. OF REGULAR YOGURT
Y=60-20=40 POUNDS OF NO FAT YOGURT.

Given a right circular cone leaking water (original dimensions of r=6m h=8m
1. Rewrite the formula for V in terms of the radius only.
WHERE IS THE FORMULA?OK LET ME ASSUME
V=PI*R^2*H/3..IF YOU WANT ONLY INTERMS OF RADIUS WE HAVE TO BE GIVEN SOME RELATION BETWEEN HEIGHT AND RADIUS..AGAIN LET ME ASSUME SLANT HEIGHT IS GIVEN AS 10.(THIS CORRESPONDS WITH H=8 FOR R=6,SINCE R^2+H^2=6^2+8^2=36+64=10^2=100).THEN
R^2+H^2=10^2
H= SQRT (100-R^2)
HENCE
V=PI*R^2/3
2. Rewrite the formula for V in terms of height only.
SAME COMMENTS AS ABOVE APPLY..MAKING SAME ASSUMPTIONS
R^2=100-H^2
V=PI(100-H^2)*H/3

3. If the volume is decreasing at a rate of 81/32 (pie) m^3/min. how fast is the height dropping when h=3m?
V=PI(100-H^2)H/3=(100H-H^3)PI/3
DV/DT = (100-3H^2)(PI/3)DH/DT
DV/DT = 81PI/32
H=3
DH/DT = {(81PI/32)}/{(100-3*3^2)PI/3}=(81*3)/(32*73)=243/2336=0.104

OK THIS IS MY BIT TO YOUR HAPPINESS WITH YOUR BOY FRIEND THOUGH IT LOOKS A STRANGE TEST!!

(THIS TAKES IN TO ACCOUNT THAT P+1=0...OR...P=-1 .IS NOT POSSIBLE.THAT IS HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY PROPOSED TO YOU A WEEK AGO!!!HE HAS NOT DONE SO AS PER YOU!!..SO..IT IS OK)
P^2+3P+2=(P+1)(1.5+3P-3)=1.5P+3P^2-3P+1.5+3P-3=1.5P+3P^2-1.5
1.5P+3P^2-1.5-P^2-3P-2=0
2P^2-1.5P-3.5=0............MULTIPLYING WITH 2 TO REMOVE FRACTIONS..

4P^2-7P+4P-7=0
P(4P-7)+1(4P-7)=0
