Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[tex]l = 30 \ cm\\w = l\\\frac{dl}{dt} = 2 \ cm/h\\h = 20 \ cm\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 3 \ cm/h[/tex]

Step 2: Differentiate

Rewrite [VRP]:                                                                                                 [tex]V = l^2h[/tex]Differentiate [Basic Power Rule]:                                                                         [tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 2l\frac{dl}{dt} \frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]

Step 3: Solve for Rate

Substitute:                                                                                                           [tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 2(30 \ cm)(2 \ cm/h)(3 \ cm/h)[/tex]Multiply:                                                                                                               [tex]\frac{dV}{dt} = 360 \ cm^3/h[/tex]

Here this tells us that our volume is decreasing (ice melting) at a rate of 360 cm³ per hour.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 3/5 and each fraction so that that they have the same denominator by finding the (lowest) common multiple. If they have the same numerator, then the fractions are equivalent.

Whatever you multiply the denominator by, you need to multiply the numerator by.

A) The lowest multiple of 5 and 15 is 15.

5 * 3 = 15

3 * 3 = 9

3/5 = 9/15

B) The lowest multiple of 5 and 16 is 80.

5 * 16 = 80

3 * 16 = 48

3/5 = 48/80

16 * 5 = 80

12 * 5 = 60

C) The lowest multiple of 5 and 50 is 50.

5 * 10 = 50

3 * 10 = 30

3/5 = 30/50

D) The lowest multiple of 5 and 60 is 60.

5 * 12 = 60

3 * 12 = 36

3/5 = 36/60

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With the properties of congruent triangle we conclude that the statement of both student I and student II are correct.

Congruent triangle-If the sides of two triangle measure same lengths and the angle have same measures then the two triangle are said to be congruent.

Given-

Statement of student 1-Because reflections preserve side lengths,

[tex]QR \cong SR[/tex],

[tex]PQ \cong TS[/tex],

[tex]PR \cong TR.[/tex] so,

[tex]\bigtriangleup PQR \cong \bigtriangleup TSR[/tex]

In all the three sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, then the two triangle are said to be congruent by the side side side (SSS) rule. Hence, the above statement is correct.

Statement of student 2- Because reflections preserve both side lengths and angle measures,

[tex]\angle RQP \cong \angle RST[/tex]

[tex]QR \cong SR[/tex]

[tex]PQ \cong TS[/tex]

[tex]\bigtriangleup PQR \cong \bigtriangleup TSR[/tex]

In any two sides and the angle included between the sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding two sides and the angle between the sides of the second triangle, then the two triangle are said to be congruent by the side angle side (SAS) rule. Hence the above statement is correct.

Hence, with the properties of congruent triangle we conclude that the statement of both student I and student II are correct.

The hybrid SUV uses 32/55 gallons per hour which is the correct answer would be an option (A).

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions.

The operator that perform the arithmetic operations are called arithmetic operators.

Operators which let do basic mathematical calculation

+ Addition operation : Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 4 + 2 = 6

- Subtraction operation : Subtracts right hand operand from left hand operand.

for example 4 -2 = 2

* Multiplication operation : Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 4*2 = 8

Given that a hybrid SUV gets 32miles per gallon on the highway driving at a constant 55 miles per hour

To determine miles per gallon of gas,

We take the 32miles the hybrid SUV travels and divide it by the highway driving at a constant 55 miles per hour

⇒ 32/55

Hence, the hybrid SUV uses 32/55 gallons per hour.

Bobby's dad is 41 and is 6 more than 5 times Bobby's age. Bobby's little sister Emma is one less than half his age. How old are Bobby and his little sister Emma?

Answers

Bobby is 7 and his sister is 3.

Explanation : his dads age : 41
since his dads age is six more than, you would subtract 6 from 41 to get 35.
and since 35 is 5 times bobby’s age you would divide 35 by 5 to get 7
So bobby is 7.

bobby’s sister :
bobby’s age : 7
bobby’s little sisters age is one less than half of his age you subtract 1 from 7 and you would get 6
Now that it’s one less you have to find half so divide 6 by 2 and you’ll get 3
So bobby’s sister is 3.



bobby’s age : 41 - 6 = 35
35 (divided by) 5 = 7
bobby’s sister : 7 - 1 = 6

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf b=8}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

In this triangle, 6 and b are the legs, because they form the right angle.

10 is the hypotenuse, because it is opposite the right angle. Plus, it's the longest side.

[tex]a=6 \\b=b\\c=10[/tex]

Substitute the values into the Theorem.

[tex]6^2+b^2=10^2[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents.

6²= 6*6= 36

[tex]36+b^2=10^2[/tex]

10²= 10*10= 100

[tex]36+b^2=100[/tex]

Subtract 36 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable (b).

[tex]36-36+b^2=100-36[/tex]

[tex]b^2=100-36[/tex]

[tex]b^2=64[/tex]

b is being squared. The inverse of a square is a square root. Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

[tex]\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{64[/tex]

[tex]b=\sqrt{64}[/tex]

[tex]b=8[/tex]

In this triangle, b (the other leg) is equal to 8

grab the image of the rectangle DEFG reflection across the line x= 3​

Answers

Answers:

D ' at (9, -9)E ' at (5, -9)F ' at (5, -2)G ' at (9, -2)

Refer to the diagram below

========================================

Explanation:

For points D,E,F,G we will follow these steps

Shift everything 3 units to the left so that the vertical line x = 3 will move on top of the y axis (which is the vertical line x = 0).Reflect across the y axis using the rule [tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]. Here we have the x coordinate flip in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa. The y coordinate stays the same.Shift everything 3 units to the right so we effectively undo the first step. This places the points in the proper final position.

Let's go through an example:

Point D is located at (-3, -9). Apply the three steps mentioned above.

Shift point D three units to the left to arrive at (-6, -9)Reflect over the y axis to go from (-6, -9) to (6, -9)Lastly, shift 3 units to the right to move to (9, -9) which is the location of D'

In short, D(-3,-9) reflects over the line x = 3 to land on D ' (9, -9)

The other points E, F, G will follow the same steps to get the answers you see at the top.

The diagram below visually summarizes everything.

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

Side notes:

The distance from D to the line of reflection is the same as the distance from D' to the line of reflection. Put another way, the line of reflection bisects segment DD'. Points E,F,G follow the same property.Going from D to E to F to G has us go counterclockwise. Going from D' to E' to F' to G' has us go clockwise. Any reflection transformation will flip the orientation.

3/4 of girls in sss1 play basketball and 4/7 play volleyball. Every girl plays at least one of these games. if 27 play both games how many girls are in the class​

Answers

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of class don't play basketball but do play volleyball

so 9/28 of class play both since 4/7 - 1/4 = 9/28

9/28 of class = 27

1/28 of class = 3

class = 3*28

There are 84 girls in the class.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

Girls who plays basketball = (3/4)x

Girls who plays volleyball = (4/7)x

Girls who plays both games = 27

Now, Let us consider total girls in the class = x

So we can write it as mathematical equation as;

⇒ (3/4)x +(4/7)x - 27 = x

By taking L.C.M. -

⇒ (21x+16x)/28 - (27) = x

⇒ 37x/28 = x + 27

⇒ 37x = 28x + (27×28)

⇒ 9x = 27×28

⇒ x = (27×28)/9

⇒ x = 3×28

⇒ x = 84

So, There are total 84 girls in the class.

It didnt work, but it has proved to be a much loathed and admired analysis of human affairs from a coldly realist point of view. When Machiavelli speaks of a prince, he does not mean the son of a king, but is using the word in its older meaning the first, or the ruler of a territory. Italy was divided into many small city-states and other domains, which were in constant competition with each other. From Chapter 17: On cruelty and compassion, and whether it is better to be loved than to be feared, or the contrary Descending next to the other qualities mentioned before, I say that each prince ought to desire to be believed compassionate, and not cruel, nonetheless he must be alert not to use this compassion badly. Cesare Borgia was believed cruel; nonetheless, that cruelty of his restored the Romagna, unified it, and led it back to peace and to faith . . . A prince, therefore, must not care about the infamy of cruelty in keeping his subjects united and faithful, because if he makes a very few examples, he will be more compassionate that those who, through too much compassion, allow disorders to occur from which arise killings and robberies. For the latter usually harm an entire population, but those executions that come from the prince harm a particular person . . . From the above a debate arises whether it is better to be loved than feared or the contrary. The answer is that one would want to be both the one and the other, but because it is difficult to join them together, it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one has to do without one of the two. For the following may be said generally about men; that they are ungrateful, changeable, pretenders and dissemblers, avoiders of dangers, and desirous of gain, and while you do them good they are wholly yours, offering you their blood, their property, their life, and their children, as I said above, when the need is far off, but when it comes close to you they revolt. And that prince who has founded himself wholly on their words, because he finds himself naked of other preparations, is ruined. For the friendships that are acquired at a price, and not with greatness and nobility of spirit, are paid for but they are not possessed, and when they come due they cannot be used. Men have less fear of offending one who makes himself loved than one who makes himself feared, since love is held in place by a bond of obligation which, because men are wretched, is broken at every opportunity for utility to oneself, but fear is held in place by a fear of punishment that never abandons youNevertheless, the prince must make himself feared in such a way that, although he does not acquire love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated, which will always be as long as he abstains from the property of his citizens and subjects and from their women. But when it is necessary for him to proceed against the life of someone, he must do it on proper justification and for manifest cause, but above all things he must keep his hands off the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony. Besides, pretexts for taking away the property are never wanting; for he who has once begun to live by robbery will always find pretexts for seizing what belongs to others; but reasons for taking life, on the contrary, are more difficult to find and sooner lapse. But when a prince is with his army, and has under control a multitude of soldiers, then it is quite necessary for him to disregard the reputation of cruelty, for without it he would never hold his army united or disposed to its duties.ScoreEssay Prompt: Write a 4-5 paragraph essay answering the question, who was Machiavelli and what was his opinion on the way a leader should rule; through love or through fear?
