The force with respect to the x and y axes can be calculated as follows:

F_x = 100N cos(30) = 86.6N

F_y = 100N sin(60) = 50N

Let F be the magnitude of the force, (theta) be the angle between the force and the x-axis, and (gamma) be the angle between the force and the y-axis. The components of the force with respect to the x and y axes can be calculated using the following formulas:

F_x = F cos(theta)

F_y = F sin(gamma)

For example, if the magnitude of the force is 100N and (theta) = 30 degrees and (gamma) = 60 degrees, then the components of the force with respect to the x and y axes can be calculated as follows:

F_x = 100N cos(30) = 86.6N

De acuerdo con lo anterior, la respuesta correcta serían 270,000 es el precio más bajo que obtuvo para comprar un motor generador de ondas estacionarias para cuerdas en el primer almacén.

¿Cómo calcular cuál almacén le ofrece el precio más bajo a Juan?

Para calcular cuál es el almacén que le ofrece el precio más bajo a Juan debemos identificar a cuanto equivale el descuento y restarlo del precio total. Cuando sepamos el precio final comparamos para saber cuál de todos es el menor.

300,000 / 100 = 3,000

3,000 * 10 = 30,000

300,000 - 30,000 = 270,000

400,000 / 100 = 4,000

4,000 * 14 = 56,000

400,000 - 56,000 = 344,000

500,000 / 100 = 5,000

5,000 * 20 = 100,000

500,000 - 100,000 = 400,000

700,000 / 100 = 7,000

7,000 * 22 = 154,000

700,000 - 154,000 = 546,000

750,000 / 100 = 7,500

7,500 * 12 = 90,000

750,000 - 90,000 = 660,000

800,000 / 100 = 8,000

8,000 * 10 = 80,000

800,000 - 80,000 = 720,000

1'000.0000 / 100 = 10,000

10,000 * 6 = 60,000

1'000.000 - 60,000 = 940,000

1'200.000 / 100 = 12,000

12,000 * 4 = 48,000

1'200,000 - 48,000 = 1'152.000

1'500.000 / 100 = 15,000

15,000 * 2 = 30,000

1'500,000 - 30,000 = 1'270,000

The client should invest $8889 in AAA bonds, $4444 in A bonds, and $5667 in B bonds.

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example: 2x + 4 = 8 is an equation.

We have,

Amount invested in AAA bond = 2x

Amount invested in A bond = y

Amount invested in B bond = x

Now,

Average yield:

AAA bond = 4%

A bond = 5%

B bond = 8%

Now,

Total amount = $19,000

Total yield = $990

Now,

Two equations can be made:

2x + y + x = 19000

3x + y = 19000 _____(1)

0.04 x (2x) + 0.05 x y + 0.08x = 990

0.08x + 0.05y + 0.08x = 990

0.16x + 0.05y = 990 ______(2)

From (1) and (2),

3x = 19000 - y

x = (19000 - y)/3

Substituting in (2)

0.16 x (19000 - y)/3 + 0.05y = 990

0.053 x 19000 - 0.053y + 0.05y = 990

1007 - 0.003y = 990

1007 - 990 = 0.003y

y = 17/0.003

y = 5666.6

y = 5667

Now,

x = (19000 - y)/3

x = (19000 - 5667)/3

x = 4444.333

x = 4444

Now,

x = $4444

y = $5667

2x = $8889

Thus,

Amount invested in AAA bond = $8889

Amount invested in A bond = $5667

Amount invested in B bond = $4444

An equation is said to be linear if each term has a maximum of one degree.

It is possible to formulate linear equations in the form y=mx+c.

A straight line results from a linear equation with two variables when its axes are plotted on the cartesian plane.

When the second equation for x is solved,

x + 5y = 32

x = 32 - 5y

Add the value of x to the first equation now,

2(32 - 5y) + 5y = 34

64 - 10y + 5y = 34

-5y = -30

y = 6

the value of y should be replaced in any one of the equations,

Least Common Multiple is the meaning of the acronym LCM. The lowest number that may be divided by both numbers is known as the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers. It may also be computed using two or more real numbers.

Starting with the runner on the outside track, the provided parameters are;

The runner covered n₁ = 5 places on the outside track, which is the number of spaces.

Next, the inner runner will traverse n₂ spaces, which equals one space.

The following inner runner will cover n₃ = 3 spaces.

The subsequent runner will traverse n₄ = 2 spaces.

The Lowest Common Multiple, or LCM, of all the runners' speeds or the total number of spaces they cover in the same amount of time, determines where all the runners will be placed next to one another.

LCM(5, 1, 3, 2) = 30 is the LCM of 5, 1, 3, and 2.

Time = 30/ = 6

Consequently, when the first runner has covered 30 places, we have;

Six time units have been expended.

The runner comes to a stop at position 30- (30 -19) = Position 19.

First runner's new destination is Spot 19.

The distance covered simultaneously by runner 2 is 6 x 1 = 6.

The distance covered by two runners running simultaneously equals six spaces.

Second runner's new position: 6 spaces plus spot 13 equals spot 19.

The combined distance covered by the three runners is 6 x 3 = 18.

The distance runner 3 covers 18 spaces simultaneously.

Third runner's new position: 18 spaces + Spot 1 = 19 spaces

Runner 4 covers a distance of 6 x 2 = 12 at the same time.

The pattern is continued, so we have to define where the cat and mouse would be after the 247th move.

Divide the issue into two parts: the location of the mouse and the location of the cat after the 247th move.

Every cycle, which consists of four different positions for the cat, is repeated once every four movements. When 247 is divided by 4, the remainder is 3. This matches the bottom right corner, where the cat is located after the third move.

Similar to the mouse, which repeats every eight moves, the mouse has eight possible places in a single cycle. When 247 is divided by 8, the remainder is 7. This matches the rat's bottom left corner position after the seventh motion.

The trapezoid's vertices are S(2, 4), T(2, 4), U(3, 2), and V. (13, 10).

The distance formula is then used to calculate the length of the ST and UV sides;

Length = [tex]\sqrt{x_{2}-x_{1}+y_{2}-y_{1}}[/tex]

Side ST's length is S(-2, 4), T(-2, -4).

ST = [tex]\sqrt{x_{2}-x_{1}+y_{2}-y_{1}}[/tex]

ST = [tex]\sqrt{(-2-(-2))^2+(-4-(4))^2[/tex]

ST = [tex]\sqrt{0 + 64}[/tex]

ST √64

ST = 8

Side UV's length is U(3, 2), V. (13, 10).

UV = [tex]\sqrt{(13-3)^2+(10-(-2))^2[/tex]

UV = [tex]\sqrt{(10)^2+(12)^2[/tex]

UV = √244

UV = 15.62

Therefore,

The mid-segment STUV's length is,

Length of mid-segment = (ST + UV)/2

Length of mid-segment = (8 + 15.62)/2

Length of mid-segment = (23.62)/2

Length of mid-segment = 11.81

Therefore, 11.69 is the exact length needed for the mid-segment of the trapezoid with STUV vertices.

The two points on the line y = − 54x − 3 will be (1, −57) and (−1, 51).

The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.

y = − 56x − 4

Let x = 1, the value of y will be

y = − 54 (1) − 3

y = − 54 − 3

y = − 57

Let x = − 1, the value of y will be

y = − 54(−1) − 3

y = 54 − 3

y = 51

The two points on the line y = − 56x − 4 will be (1, −57) and (−1, 51). Then the diagram of the line is given below.

Answer:

41.  (-∞, -1] ∪ [2, 3)

42.  (2, 5) ∪ (5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rational inequality:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2-x-2}{x-3} \leq 0[/tex]

Factor the numerator:

[tex]\dfrac{(x-2)(x+1)}{x-3} \leq 0[/tex]

Find the roots by solving f(x) = 0  (set the numerator to zero):

[tex]\implies (x-2)(x+1)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x-2=0 \implies x=2[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1[/tex]

Find the restrictions by solving f(x) = undefined  (set the denominator to zero):

[tex]\implies x-3=0 \implies x=3[/tex]

Create a sign chart, using closed dots for the roots and open dots for the restrictions (see attachment 1).

Choose a test value for each region, including one to the left of all the critical values and one to the right of all the critical values.

For each test value, determine if the function is positive or negative:

[tex]f(-2)=\dfrac{(-2)^2-(-2)-2}{(-2)-3} =\dfrac{+}{-}=-[/tex]

[tex]f(0)=\dfrac{(0)^2-(0)-2}{(0)-3} =\dfrac{-}{-}=+[/tex]

[tex]f(2.5)=\dfrac{(2.5)^2-(2.5)-2}{(2.5)-3} =\dfrac{+}{-}=-[/tex]

[tex]f(4)=\dfrac{(4)^2-(4)-2}{(4)-3} =\dfrac{+}{+}=+[/tex]

Record the results on the sign chart for each region (see attachment 1).

As we need to find the values for which f(x) ≤ 0, shade the appropriate regions (zero or negative) on the sign chart (see attached).

Therefore, the solution set is:

As interval notation:

Given rational inequality:

[tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{(x-2)|x-5|} > 0[/tex]

Find the roots by solving f(x) = 0  (set the numerator to zero):

[tex]\implies \sqrt{x}=0 \implies x=0[/tex]

Find the restrictions by solving f(x) = undefined  (set the denominator to zero):

[tex]\implies (x-2)|x-5|=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x-2=0 \implies x=2[/tex]

[tex]\implies |x-5|=0 \implies x=5[/tex]

[tex]f(1)=\dfrac{\sqrt{1}}{(1-2)|1-5|}=\dfrac{+}{-}=-[/tex]

[tex]f(3)=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{(3-2)|3-5|}=\dfrac{+}{+}=+[/tex]

[tex]f(6)=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{(6-2)|6-5|}=\dfrac{+}{+}=+[/tex]

Record the results on the sign chart for each region (see attachment 2).

As we need to find the values for which f(x) > 0, shade the appropriate regions (positive) on the sign chart (see attached).

Therefore, the solution set is:
