Evaluate. 58−(14)2=58-142= ________

(a) The multiplicative inverse of 1234 (mod 4321) is x so that 1234*x ≡ 1 (mod 4321). We can apply Euclid's algorithm:

4321 = 1234 * 3 + 619

1234 = 619 * 1 + 615

619 = 615 * 1 + 4

615 = 4 * 153 + 3

4 = 3 * 1 + 1

Now we will express 1 as a linear combination of 4321 and 1234:

1 = 4 - 3

1 = 4 - (615 - 4 * 153) = 4 * 154 - 615

1 = 619 * 154 - 155 * (1234 - 619) = 619 * 309 - 155 * 1234

1 = (4321 - 1234 * 3) * 309 - 155 * 1234 = 4321 * 309 - 1082 * 1234

This reduces to

1 ≡ -1082 * 1234 (mod 4321)

Thus, the inverse is

-1082 ≡ 3239 (mod 4321)

(b) Since both 24140 and 40902 are even, their GCD cannot equal 1, indicating no inverse exists.

Answer:

The amount of ovens that must be produced in a week to earn a $1610 profit is 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A small-appliance manufacturer determines the profit P (in dollars) from producing x microwave ovens weekly by the formula:

with 0 ≤ x ≤ 200.

The target profit is $1610

So, set P = 1610, then solve for x:

Multiply both sides by 10:

Next, factor the quadratic:

Solving for x gives:

Since x=230 is outside the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 200, we discard it.

Hence, the valid solution is x=70.

Therefore, to achieve a $1610 profit, the manufacturer must produce 70 ovens weekly.

Response:

The fence's length is expressed as 6.28x - 150 cm.

Detailed Breakdown:

Assuming the circular pool has a radius (r) of x cm.

As the pool is circular, its circumference represents the length of the fence. Additionally, subtracting the 150 cm for the gate gives us the actual length of the fence.

Length of fence = Circumference of pool – gate's width.

Length of fence = 2 π r – 150

Length of fence = 2 × 3.14 × x – 150

Therefore, the fence length is 6.28x – 150 cm.

a(t) = 210 - 5t

(1) What does t represent?

Since t is given in minutes, it stands for time.

Interpreting t as the balloon’s altitude is incorrect since a(t) represents altitude.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time elapsed since the balloon starts descending

This is the correct interpretation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time for the balloon to reach ground level is incorrect because that would be a fixed moment, not a variable t.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) What does a(t) represent?

The balloon’s altitude

This is the correct answer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time since descent began is incorrect because that is represented by t.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to reach the ground is inaccurate since a(t) is altitude, not time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) What does a(5.5) signify?

It does not represent the time to reach 5.5 feet altitude.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The altitude of the balloon after 5.5 minutes

This is the correct interpretation since a(5.5) is altitude when t = 5.5 minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not the time needed to reach the ground.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.5 minutes alone is not correct because a(t) denotes altitude, not time.

a(5.5) refers to altitude at t = 5.5 minutes.
