The square of T varies directly with the cube of a and inversely with the square of d; T = 2 when a = 2 and d = 4

Answers

Answer 1

The general formula that describes the variation is T² = 18a³/d²

Direct variation: When a variable x changes directly with another variable y,  it is written in this form;

          x ∝ y.

          This can then be written as;

           x = ky

           Where;

           k = constant rate of change.

Inverse: When one variable x changes in the opposite direction to another variable y,  it is written in this form; x ∝ 1 / y This can then be written as; x = k (1/y) Where; k = constant rate or variation

Combined variation: When a variable x varies directly with variable y and inversely with variable z, we write it in this form;

            x ∝ (y/z)

           This can then be written as;

            x = k (y/z)

           Where;

           k = constant rate or variation

The square of T varies directly with the cube of a and inversely with the square of d.

Note that

square of T = T²

cube of a = a³

square of d = d²

Therefore, we can write;

T² ∝ a³/d²

T² = k (a³/d²)

Since;

T = 4 when a = 2 and d = 3

We can find the constant of proportionality k, by substituting the values of T=4, a = 2 and d = 3 into equation (i) and solve as follows;

(4)² =  k (2³/3²)

16 =  k (8/9)

8k = 16 x 9

8k = 144

k = 144/8

k = 18

Therefore, The overall formula for describing the variation is

T² =  18 a³/d²

Answers

The principal for the loan is $27,890.

The total amount of interest to be paid on the loan, at a rate of 5.25% after 66 months is $8053.24

How to find the principal

The principal is the amount of money to be paid for the automobile which is $27,890.

How to find the interest

from simple interest formula = ( principal * time * rate ) / 100

given data

principal = $27,890

time =  66 months

rate = 5.25%

converting the time to years gives

time = 66 / 12

time = 5.5 years

simple interest = ( 27 890 * 5.5 * 5.25 ) / 100

simple interest = 805 323.75 / 100

simple interest = $8053.24

We can therefore say that the amount of interest paid on the loan at a rate of 5.25% after 66 months is $8053.24

AE = EB and CF = FB

ca = 18
de = 7
cb = 14
fe = [?]

Answers

Answer:

by comparing the two triangles,

we take the ratio of each side to be equal

Step-by-step explanation:

By comparing the sides of the triangles,

we take the ratio of each sides to each other

de/cb = fe/ca

de.ca = fe.cb

fe = (de.ca)/cb

fe = (7* 18)/14

fe = 9

The measure of side FE of triangle DEF is FE = 9

What are similar triangles?

If two triangles' corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional, they are said to be similar triangles. In other words, similar triangles have the same shape but may or may not be the same size. The triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are also of identical length.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio. The ratio of area of similar triangles is the same as the ratio of the square of any pair of their corresponding sides

Given data ,

Let the first triangle be represented as ABC

Now , let the second triangle be DEF

And triangle ABC and DEF are similar triangles

So , corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio

And , AE = EB and CF = FB

From the similar triangle theorem ,

EF / AC = DE / CB

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

EF / 18 = 7 / 14

Multiplying by 18 on both sides of the equation , we get

EF = ( 7 x 18 ) / 14

EF = 18/2

EF = 9

Therefore , the value of EF is 9

Hence , the measure of side EF is 9

What is the probability of not drawing a queen from a standard deck of 52 cards?

Answers

The probability of not drawing a queen from a standard deck of 52 cards is 12/13

How to determine the probability of not drawing a queen from a standard deck of 52 cards?

In a standard deck of 52 cards, we have

Total number of cards = 52

Queen cards = 4

The probability of not drawing a queen from a standard deck of 52 cards is calculated as

P = 1 - P(Queen)

Where

P(Queen) = Queen cards/Total number of cards

So, we have

P(Queen) = 4/52

Substitute P(Queen) = 4/52 in the equation P = 1 - P(Queen)

This gives

P = 1 - 4/52

Evaluate the difference

P = 48/52

P = 12/13

Answers

The diagonal of the parallelogram be 10 cm or 8 cm.

What is defined as the parallelogram?

A parallelogram is just a quadrilateral with two parallel sides (and therefore opposite angles equal).

A rhombus is a quadrilateral to equal sides, while a rectangle is a parallelogram with all right angles. Furthermore, because a square is a degenerate situation of a rectangle, rectangles and squares are both special kinds of parallelograms.A parallelogram's opposite sides are all the same length.A parallelogram's adjacent or adjoining angles add up to 180°.A parallelogram's diagonals cross each other.

For the given case.

The sides of the 3  cm and 5 cm. As, these two side are the adjacent sides of the parallelogram, the diagonal formed will be the closing side of the triangle.

As, the diagonal is the longest side of the triangle, thus its value must be greater than other side.

This is possible with the diagonal values of 10 cm and 8 cm.

Thus, 10 cm and 8 cm are the correct values for the diagonal of parallelogram.

What is proof by contraposition?

Proof by contrapositive, also known as proof by contraposition, is an inference technique used in mathematics where a conditional statement's contrapositive is used to infer the conditional statement's conclusion. To put it another way, the conclusion "if A, then B" is inferred by building a proof of the claim "if not B, then not A" instead. This method is frequently chosen if the contrapositive is more straightforward to establish than the first conditional statement.

The term "contraposition" describes a proving strategy known as "proof by contraposition," which involves drawing an inference from a conditional statement to its logically equivalent contrapositive. The antecedent and consequent of a sentence are inverted and flipped in the contrapositive.

Answers

The length, width, and height of the box in factored form is  -x (x-5)(x +2) which is option A

The box is in the shape of a cuboid

The volume of a cuboid = l b h, where l is the length, b is the breath or width and h is the height

Putting the values of width and volume in the formula

x³ - 3x²-10x = l ×(5-x) × h

This becomes a cubic equation

l × h = (x³-3x²-10x)/ 5-x

l × h = -x²-2x

l × h = -x(x+2)

Now, putting the value of l × h in the equation we get

v= -x ( x+ 2) (5-x)

v = -x (x-5)(x +2)

Hence, the length, width, and height of the box in factored form is  -x (x-5)(x +2) which is option A
