To find the safe load of a 10-foot long beam, first calculate the constant of proportionality k using the safe load and length of the known beam, and then multiply k by the new length. The safe load for a beam of length 10 feet would be 1333.3 pounds.

First, calculate the constant of proportionality k using the information provided: k = 2000 pounds / 15 feet = 133.33 pounds/foot.

Next, find the safe load y for a beam of length 10 feet: y = k * x = 133.33 pounds/foot * 10 feet.

Calculate the result: y = 1333.3 pounds.

Therefore, the safe load for a beam of length 10 feet would be 1333.3 pounds.

Answer:

it's 2.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The required speed of family's paddling speed in still water is 2.125 mi/h.

Given that,
A family is canoeing (with the current). Their speed relative to the banks of the river averages 2.75mi/h. During the return trip, they paddle upstream (against the current), averaging 1.5 mi/h relatives to the riverbank.

Speed is defined as when an object is in motion, the distance covered by that object per unit of time is called speed.

Here,
Let the speed of the family on still water be x,
Speed of the current be y
According to the question,
upstream speed,
1.5 = x - y  - - - - - (1)
Downstream speed,
2.75 = x + y - - - - - (1)

Solving equations 1 and 2 givens,
2x = 4.25
x = 2.125 mi / h

Thus, the required speed of the family paddling speed in still water is 2.125 mi/h.

The statement is true; a function defined only for a set of discrete numbers, such as whole numbers, is indeed called a discrete function.

The statement that a function defined only for a set of numbers that can be listed, such as the set of whole numbers, is called a discrete function is true. A discrete function is, in fact, characterized by a domain that consists of distinct and separate elements. For example, the number of phone calls you receive on each day is a representation of discrete data because the counts can only be whole numbers, demonstrating the nature of a discrete function. This is opposed to continuous functions, which have a domain that may include all real numbers, allowing for an infinite number of values between any two different numbers.

Additionally, the concept of a function is that it relates each element of its domain to a single and unique value in its range. If the domain is composed of discrete elements like whole numbers, then the function that relates these elements to values is considered a discrete function.

Keep in mind that a characteristic function or membership function can also be considered a discrete function since it maps elements to specific values, often representing the presence (1) or absence (0) within a set.

Answer:

Therefore the roots of equation 1 are 1,3 1/2,-i,+i

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question we have given

[tex]f(x) = 2x^5 - 9x^4 + 12x^3 - 12x^2 + 10x - 3 = 0[/tex].......1

we have to find the roots of this equation

put x=1 in equation 1

[tex]f(1)=2-9+12-12+10-3\\f(1)=0[/tex]

It means x=1 is root  of equation 1

now put x=3 in equation 1

[tex]f(3)=2\times3^5-9\times3^4+12\times3^3-12\times3^2+10\times3-3\\f(3)=0[/tex]

therefore,x=3 is root of equation 1

Now put x=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in equation 1

[tex]f(\frac{1}{2})=2\times (\frac{1}{2} )^5-9\times(\frac{1}{2})^4+12\times(\frac{1}{2})^3-12*(\frac{1}{2})^2+10\times \frac{1}{2}-3\\f(\frac{1}{2})=0[/tex]

It means x=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is also root of equation 1

therefore equation one can be written as

[tex]f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(2x-1)(x^2+1)[/tex]

therefore remaining 2 roots can be calculated by solving

The total cost of the boat after six years is $6,616.44.

To find the total cost of the boat after six years, we need to calculate the interest paid on the loan over that period of time.

The loan amount is $9,640 with an interest rate of 9.4% per year.

Since the loan is for six years, we multiply the loan amount by the interest rate and the number of years: $9,640 × 0.094 × 6 = $5,441.44.

Adding the down payment of $1,175 to the interest paid on the loan, we get the total cost of the boat after six years: $5,441.44 + $1,175 = $6,616.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression representing the larger number is [tex]\( 2x + 3 \)[/tex]. So option (b) is correct.

To solve this problem, let's represent the smaller number as x and the larger number as y. According to the given conditions:

1. y is 3 more than 2 times ( x ), so ( y = 2x + 3 ).

2. The sum of the two numbers is 27, so ( x + y = 27 ).

Now, let's substitute the value of ( y ) from the first equation into the second equation:

[tex]\[ x + (2x + 3) = 27 \][/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\[ 3x + 3 = 27 \][/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides:

[tex]\[ 3x = 27 - 3 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 3x = 24 \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{24}{3} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 8 \][/tex]

Now, we can find ( y ) by substituting the value of ( x ) into the equation for ( y ):

[tex]\[ y = 2(8) + 3 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y = 16 + 3 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y = 19 \][/tex]

So, the smaller number ( x ) is 8, and the larger number ( y ) is 19.

Now, let's check which expression represents the larger number:

1. [tex]\( 3x + 2 = 3(8) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26 \)[/tex]

2. [tex]\( 2x + 3 = 2(8) + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19 \)[/tex] - This matches the value we found for the larger number.

3. [tex]\( 2(x + 3) = 2(8 + 3) = 2(11) = 22 \)[/tex]

So, the correct expression representing the larger number is [tex]\( 2x + 3 \)[/tex].

Final answer:

To express the ratio of 7 meters to 250 centimeters in its lowest terms, convert both to the same unit and simplify. 7 meters is 700 centimeters, leading to an initial ratio of 700:250, which simplifies to a final ratio of 14:5.

Explanation:

To state 7m to 250cm as a ratio in its lowest terms, we need to convert them to the same unit. One meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters, so 7 meters is the same as 700 centimeters.

Now we can write the ratio as 700 cm : 250 cm, which can be simplified by dividing both terms by 250 cm (the greatest common divisor of both numbers).

The simplified ratio is 700÷ 250 : 250÷ 250, which simplifies to 7 : 2.5. Since we want the ratio in its lowest terms with whole numbers, we can multiply both terms by 2 to eliminate the decimal, resulting in a final ratio of 14 : 5.

Final answer:

The orange juice provides approximately 7.14% of the RDA of niacin.

Explanation:

To find the percentage of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of niacin provided by the orange juice, we need to compare the amount of niacin in the orange juice to the RDA. Given that 8 ounces of orange juice contain 1 mg of niacin and the RDA for niacin is 14 mg, we can calculate the percentage using the formula:

Percentage = (Niacin in orange juice / RDA) x 100

Substituting the values, we get:

Percentage = (1 mg / 14 mg) x 100 = 7.14%

Therefore, the orange juice provides approximately 7.14% of the RDA of niacin.

To find the maximum safe angle of elevation for a 110-foot ladder used at a height of 100 feet, we use the tangent inverse function with the ladder's maximum safe height as the opposite side and the ladder's hypothetical base length as the adjacent side. The angle of elevation is calculated using θ = tan⁻¹(100/adjacent). The specific calculation of the adjacent side isn't needed as the angle of elevation will be the same regardless of the actual length of the ladder along the ground.

The question is asking to find the maximum safe angle of elevation at which a 110-foot fire department ladder can be used, given that it can be safely used for rescues up to 100 feet off the ground. This is a trigonometry problem that involves the use of right-angled triangles.

To solve this problem, we will use the trigonometric function tangent (tan), which relates the angle of elevation θ to the opposite side of the triangle (the height of the building) and the adjacent side (the length of the ladder along the ground). The formula is θ=tan⁻¹(opposite/adjacent).

In this case, the opposite side is the maximum safe height of 100 feet, and the adjacent side would be the length of the ladder laid on the ground when the ladder reaches 100 feet high. We can find the length of the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theorem. However, we do not need to calculate it, as the angle of elevation does not depend on the horizontal distance but only on the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.

The calculation would be: θ = tan⁻¹(100/adjacent).

Since the ladder length is greater than the height it needs to reach, the ladder base (adjacent) will be inside the triangle formed by the ladder and the building. The maximum safe angle of elevation θ can be calculated using the inverse tangent function of the height over the hypothetical base length, which is less than 110 feet.
