We understand that

1 foot corresponds to 12 inches.


Step 1

Dimensions of the plywood needed are

(12+3+3) x (18+3+3)------> 18 inches x 24 inches.


Step 2

Convert inches into feet:

18 in-------> 18/12=1.5 ft.

24 in------> 24/12=2 ft.


Step 3

To calculate the area of plywood needed:

A=b*h------> 1.5*2------> A=3 ft².


The final result is

3 ft²

AnnZ [12381]

Response:

Max = 18\ mins

Min = 12\ mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given:

Time = 15\ mins

Variation = 3\ mins

Objective:

Calculate the maximum and minimum values

The max value is found as follows:

Max = Time + Variation

Max = 15\ mins + 3\ mins

Max = 18\ mins

The min value is identified as follows:

Min = Time - Variation

Min = 15\ mins - 3\ mins

Min = 12\ mins

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t
babunello [11817]

Answer:

To find the number of genuine solutions for a system of equations consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation

1) With two variables, say x and y, rearrange the linear equation to express y, then substitute this y in the quadratic equation

After that, simplify the resulting equation and determine the number of real roots utilizing the quadratic formula, x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a} for equations of the type 0 = a·x² - b·x + c.

When b² exceeds 4·a·c, two real solutions emerge; if b² equals 4·a·c, there will be a single solution.

AnnZ [12381]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 7!

In absence of any restrictions, the answer is 7! as it represents the permutations of all animals.

b) 4! x 3!

Considering there are 6 cats and 5 dogs, the first and last slots must be occupied by cats to ensure alternate arrangements. The only options available then are based on the arrangement of the cats among themselves and the dogs among themselves, yielding 4! permutations for the cats and 3! for the dogs, thus leading to a total of 4! x 3! arrangements.

c) 3! x 5!

Here, the arrangement of the dogs among themselves can occur in 3! ways. Considering the dogs as a singular “object,” we can arrange this unit with the 4 cats, providing 5! total arrangements possible, leading to 3! · 5! arrangement possibilities.

d) 2 x 4! x 3!

In this scenario, both cats and dogs must be grouped together, allowing positions where all cats come before the dogs or vice versa. As there are two configurations, the resultant count is 2 multiplied by both arrangements, resulting in 2 x 4! x 3!

A rocket was launched into the air from a podium 6 feet off the ground. The rocket path is represented by the equation h(t)=-16t
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The function provided is:

h(t)=-16t^2+120t+6

The average rate of change of h(t) as time goes from t=a to t=b is expressed as:

\frac{h(b)-h(a)}{b-a}

This function can be reformulated as: h(t)=-16(t-3.75)^2+231

The rocket's peak height is 231, which occurs at t=3.75 seconds.

\implies h(3.75)=231

The initial launch happens at: t=0

and h(0)=-16(0)^2+120(0)+6=6

The average rate of change from launch to max height is

\frac{h(3.75)-h(0)}{3.75-0}=\frac{231-6}{3.75-0} =60
