Eli Whitney here demonstrates interchangeable parts.He took several guns, dismantled them, put the pieces in a box, and shook it. He then randomly selected the pieces he needed, assembled on rifle, and fired it. popularized in America when Eli Whitney used them to assemble muskets in the first years of the 19th century, allowed comparatively unskilled workers to manufacture vast quantities of arms rapidly and at lower expense, and made repair and replacement of parts exponentially simpler.

Mary has some money to purchase furniture for her home. She bought a television that cost $1400. She spent 40% of the remaining money on a bed. If the bed cost 25% as much as the total amount of money she had at first. What is the difference between the cost of the television set and the bed?

Answers

Answer:

The difference $2.733.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money be x

The remaining money will be (x-1400)

40% of this on a bed

= 40/100 (x-1400)

= 0.4(x-1400)

cost of bed is 25% of x

Thus;

0.4(x-1400) = 25/100 * x

0.4(x-1400) = 0.25x

0.4x - 560 = 0.25x

0.4x-0.25x = 560

= 0.15x = 560

x = 560/0.15

So the difference between the tv and. bed, will be ;

560/0.15 - 1400

= (560-210)/0.15 = $2,333.33

Write the simplest polynomial function for each set of zeros

Zeros = -2, 5, -1

Answers

Answer:

The polynomial is ;

x^3 -2x^2 -13x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros, we set them to equal zero so as to get the linear factors

Mathematically, that will be as follows;

x = -2

x + 2

x = 5

x-5

x = -1

x + 1

So we have the polynomial as;

(x + 1)(x + 2)(x-5)

= (x -5)(x^2 + 3x + 2)

= x^3+ 3x^2 + 2x -5x^2 -15x - 10

= x^3 -2x^2 -13x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Each team can have 3 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

159 students grouped in three's = 159/3=53

The same thing goes for if they were grouped in 4's, 5's, or 6's.

159/4=39.75 159/5=31.8 159/6=26.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The angles are vertical and congruent, that is

x - 10 = 125 ( add 10 to both sides )

x = 135

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

(b)

Supplementary angles sum to 180°

The angles are in the ratio 2 : 3 = 2x : 3x ( x is a multiplier ), then

2x + 3x = 180

5x = 180 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 36

thus

2x = 2 × 36 = 72

3x = 3 × 36 = 108

Then the 2 angles are 72° and 108°

A polynominal function that describes an enclosure is v(x)=1500x_x2 where x is the length of the fence in feet what is the maximum area of the enclosure

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynominal function that describes an enclosure is v(x)=1500x-x2 where x is the length of the fence in feet what is the maximum area of the enclosure

Solution:

The maximum area of the enclosure is gotten when the differential with respect to x of the enclosure function is equal to zero. That is:

V'(x) = 0

V(x) = x(1500 - x) = length * breadth.

This means the enclosure has a length of x and a width of 1500 - x

Given that:

v(x)=1500x-x². Hence:

V'(x) = 1500 -2x

V'(x) = 0

1500 -2x = 0

2x = 1500

x = 1500 / 2

x = 750 feet

The maximum area = 1500(750) - 750² = 562500

The maximum area = 562500 feet²

Answer:

562500 feet²
