Answer:

hx = 1.5 cm·x + 11 cm

126 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the following ordered pairs (x, hx).

  • (1, 12.5 cm)
  • (2, 14 cm)
  • (3, 15.5 cm)

We need to find a linear equation represented as:

hx = a·x + b

where,

a is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In order to determine the slope, we select any pair of values to insert into a specific expression.

a=\frac{\Delta hx }{\Delta x} =\frac{h2-h1}{2-1} =\frac{14cm-12.5cm}{2-1} =1.5cm

<pthus the="" general="" formula="" is:="">

hx = 1.5 cm·x + b

Next, we can substitute in an ordered pair to find b. Let's utilize h1.

h1 = 1.5 cm·x1 + b

12.5 cm = 1.5 cm·1 + b

b = 11 cm

The final equation is:

hx = 1.5 cm·x + 11 cm

<pif hx="200" cm="">

200 cm = 1.5 cm·x + 11 cm

189 cm = 1.5 cm·x

x = 126

Answer:

Approximately 59 stacked cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following measurements:

Height of one cup = 12.5 cm,

Height of two cups stacked = 14 cm,

Height of three cups stacked = 15.5 cm,

...and so on.

This situation can be described by an arithmetic sequence,

12.5, 14, 15.5,....

The first term is defined as a = 12.5,

with a common difference of d = 1.5 cm.

Thus, the height of x stacked cups is given by

h(x) = a+(x-1)d = 12.5 + (x-1)1.5 = 1.5x + 11

As per the problem,

h(x) = 200

⇒ 1.5x + 11 = 200

⇒ 1.5x = 189

⇒ x = 59.3333333333 ≈ 59.

Therefore, you will need approximately 59 stacked cups.

Norma Jean makes $25 per hour. She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. How much should Nor
babunello [3635]

Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Norma Jean earns $25 hourly and works 35 hours per week.

Her earnings without commission total 35 * 25 = $875

Total commission earned by Norma = 4500 - 875 = $3625

Let the total sales made by Norma be x

15% can be expressed as 15/100

Thus, (15/100) * x = 3625 Multiplying both sides by 100

15x = 362500 Rearranging for x

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should achieve total sales amounting to $24166.67

-3x + 2c = -3, solve for x
zzz [4022]

Answer:

x=2c/3+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 2c from both sides.

−3x=−3−2c

The equation has been transformed into standard form.

−3x=−2c−3

Next, divide both sides by −3.

-3x/-3=-2c-3/-3

Dividing by −3 negates the multiplication by −3.

x=-2c-3/-3

Finally, divide −3−2c by −3.

x=2c/3+1

22.Island A is 160 miles from island B. A ship captain travels 170 miles from island A and then finds that he is off course and
babunello [3635]

We can summarize that

By applying the law of cosines: 


c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C) 

where: 

a,b, and c represent the triangle's sides and C denotes the angle opposing side c.

Let us assign:

a=170 miles

b=200 miles

c=160 miles

Thus, we establish: 

160² = 170² + 200² - 2(170)(200)cos(C).


We now aim to solve for C.


25,600 = 28,900 + 40,000 - 68,000cos(C).

25,600 - 28,900 - 40,000 = -68,000cos(C).

-43,300=-68,000cos(C).

Thus, cos(C)=0.6367.

C=arc cos(0.6367)--------> C=50.45°.


Consequently, the captain should adjust toward island B by

180 - 50.45 = 129.55 degrees.


The final answer is

129.55 degrees

7. During a person's commute to school, she spends 10 minutes driving 30 miles per hour (mph) and 5 minutes stopped at red light
Inessa [3907]

Answer:

5 miles in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time spent driving = 10 min = 10 / 60 = 1/6 hour

Duration of stop = 5 min

Driving speed = 30 miles per hour

Find:

Complete distance

Computation:

Distance traveled = Speed × time

Distance = 30 × (1/6)

Total distance = 5 miles
