: West Gorham High School is to be located at the population center of gravity of three communities: Westbrook, population 16,000; Scarborough, population 22,000; and Gorham, population 36,500. Westbrook is located at 43.6769˚N, 70.3717˚W; Scarborough is located at 43.5781˚N, 70.3222˚W; and Gorham is located at 43.6795˚N, 70.4447˚W.
 a. Where should West Gorham High School be located?
 b. If only two pieces of adequate land are available for sale: Baker’s Field at 43.6784˚N, 70.3827˚W; or L onesome Acres at 43.5119˚N, 70.3856˚W, using rectilinear distances, which is closer to the site located in part (a)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a) 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W

  (b) Baker's Field

Step-by-step explanation:

The locations are all within a 7-mile square, so we will make the assumption of a flat Earth with parallel longitude lines. Then the "central" location will be the weighted average of the latitude and longitude coordinates.

(a)

Total population is 16000 +22000 +36500 = 74,500. For purposes of the arithmetic, we will subtract 43 from latitude and 70 from longitude, then multiply each fraction by 10. Similarly, we will divide each population by 1000.

The weighted average location is found from ...

  (16/74.5)(6.769, 3.717) +(22/74.5)(5.781, 3.222) +(36.5/74.5)(6.795, 4.447)

  = (1.4537, 0.7983) +(1.7071, 0.9515) +(3.3291, 2.1787) = (6.490, 3.928)

The center of gravity is about 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W.

__

(b)

The coordinate differences from the center of gravity are (in (°lat, °long)) ...

  Baker's Field: (0.0294, -0.0101)

  Lonesome Acres: (-0.1371, -.0072)

Clearly, Baker's field is closer to the site of part (a).

_____

Additional comment

Distance calculations could be refined further by considering that a degree of longitude at this latitude represents about 0.72 times the distance of a degree of latitude. In this problem, the location of Lonesome Acres has a latitude difference that is several times any of the other coordinate differences, so it is clearly much farther away from the desired location.

The calculations done here are a sort of first-level approximation. The least-significant digits in the coordinates represent a distance of less than 50 feet. If you really want accuracy to that level, then the (approximately) spherical shape of the Earth needs to be accounted for. As a second-level approximation, some reference point needs to be identified, and coordinates in miles (or feet) need to be expressed in relation to that reference. The best accuracy would be obtained using spherical trigonometry to identify the distances.

We expect any school that is constructed to be somewhat larger than 50 feet in any direction, so accuracy to the 4th decimal place in these locations is probably not required--except to satisfy some answer-checker.

Evaluate the integral:

Answers

Substitute x = √7 sin(t) and dx = √7 cos(t) dt. Then

∫ √(7 - x²) dx = ∫ √(7 - (√7 sin(t))²) • √7 cos(t) dt

… = √7 ∫ √(7 - 7 sin²(t)) cos(t) dt

… = 7 ∫ √(1 - sin²(t)) cos(t) dt

… = 7 ∫ √(cos²(t)) cos(t) dt

We require that -π/2 ≤ t ≤ π/2 in order for the substitution we made to be reversible. Over this domain, cos(t) ≥ 0, so

√(cos²(t)) = |cos(t)| = cos(t)

and the integral reduces to

… = 7 ∫ cos²(t) dt

Recall the half-angle identity for cosine:

cos²(t) = (1 + cos(2t))/2

Then the integral is

… = 7/2 ∫ (1 + cos(2t)) dt

… = 7/2 (t + 1/2 sin(2t)) + C

… = 7t/2 + 7/4 sin(2t) + C

Get the antiderivative back in terms of x. Recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2t) = 2 sin(t) cos(t)

We have t = arcsin(x/√7), which gives

sin(t) = sin(arcsin(x/√7)) = x/√7

cos(t) = cos(arcsin(x/√7)) = √(7 - x²)/√7

Then

∫ √(7 - x²) dx = 7/2 arcsin(x/√7) + 7/4 • 2 sin(arcsin(x/√7)) cos(arcsin(x/√7)) + C

… = 7/2 arcsin(x/√7) + x/2 √(7 - x²) + C

WHAT is to solve their is notting

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the system using substitution 5x+3y=-4 y-2x=6

Answers

Solving steps:-

5x+3y=−4

y−2x=6

-->To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

5x+3y=−4,−2x+y=6

-->Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.

5x+3y=−4

-->Subtract 3y from both sides of the equation.

5x=−3y−4

--> Divide both sides by 5.

x = 1/5(-3y - 4)

--> Multiply 1/5 −3y−4.

x = -3/5y - 4/5

--> Substitute -3y - 4/ 5 for x n the other equation, −2x+y=6.

-2 (-3/5y - 4/5) + y = 6

--> Multiply −2 times -3y - 4/ 5

6/5y + 8/5 + y = 6

--> Add 6y/5 to y

11/5y + 8/5 = 6

--> Subtract 8/5 from both sides of the equation.

11/5y = 22/5

--> Divide both sides of the equation by 11/5, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

y = 2

--> Substitute 2 for y in x= -3/5y - 4/5. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x = -3/5 x 2 - 4/5

--> Multiply -3/5 times 2.

x = -6 - 4/ 5

--> Add -4/5 to -6/5 by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.

x = -2

--> The equation is now solved.

Answer : x = -2, y = 2

Find radiuses of circles, if OO1=20cm and 3AK=2BK

Answers

Answer:

radius of smaller circle on the left =  8 centimetersradius of larger circle on the right =  12 centimeters

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

Explanation:

The letter O looks very similar to the number zero, so I'm going to use other letters to avoid confusion. For the smaller circle on the left, it'll have center P. The circle on the right will have center Q. See the diagram below.

Based on that, we can say that PQ = 20 cm.

Let x = length of PK

PK + KQ = PQ

KQ = PQ - PK

KQ = 20 - x

We'll keep this in mind for later. I'll refer to this as "Fact 1" when it does come up later.

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

We're given this equation

3AK=2BK

Let's get the numbers to one side and the letters to the other side like so:

3AK=2BK

3AK/BK = 2

AK/BK = 2/3

We'll use this later as well.  I'll refer to this as "Fact 2" when it does come up later.

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

Next, draw a segment from P to A to form triangle PAK (also shown in the diagram below). Do the same for points Q and B to form triangle QBK.

The segments PA and PK are radii of the smaller circle, so PA = PK which leads to triangle PAK being isosceles. Triangle QBK is also isosceles for similar reasoning.

The angles AKP and QKB are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

The facts mentioned so far boil down to the two triangles being similar triangles (use the angle angle method to prove).

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

Now that we know the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to solve for x.

PK/KQ = AK/KB

PK/KQ = 2/3  .... use fact 2

x/(20-x) = 2/3 .... use fact 1

3x = 2(20-x) .... cross multiply

3x = 40 - 2x

3x+2x = 40

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

So,

PK = x = 8KQ = 20-x = 20-8 = 12

The radius of the smaller circle on the left is 8 cm.

The radius of the larger circle on the right is 12 cm.

For example, Let's say Ram spends 36 Rs. for a dozen (12) bananas.

12 bananas will set you back 36 Rs. 1 banana costs 36 x 12 = 3 Rupees.

As a result, one banana costs three rupees. Let's say we need to calculate the price of 15 bananas.

This may be done as follows: 15 bananas cost 3 rupees each; 15 units cost 45 rupees.

Given:

The kindergarten class at Stokes Elementary drinks about 210 pints of milk per week.
