A municipal solar power facility distributes its total generating capacity among three sectors: residential, commercial, and municipal. The residential sector is allocated 715\frac{7}{15} of the total capacity, and the commercial sector is allocated 36%36\% of the total capacity. The remaining 2626 megawatts (MW) of capacity is allocated to municipal buildings. What is the total generating capacity, in megawatts, of the facility?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 150

Cevap

The total generating capacity of the facility is 150 megawatts.
The residential portion (715\frac{7}{15}) and commercial portion (36%=92536\% = \frac{9}{25}) combine to equal 6275\frac{62}{75} of the total capacity. The municipal portion makes up the remaining 1375\frac{13}{75} of the total, which is given as 2626 MW. Setting 1375T=26\frac{13}{75} T = 26 and solving yields T=150T = 150 MW.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Convert the commercial percentage into a simplified fraction.
36%=36100=92536\% = \frac{36}{100} = \frac{9}{25}
Converting all proportions to fractions allows for direct operations.
2
Find the combined fraction of capacity allocated to residential and commercial sectors.
715+925=3575+2775=6275\frac{7}{15} + \frac{9}{25} = \frac{35}{75} + \frac{27}{75} = \frac{62}{75}
Finding a common denominator (7575) allows adding the two fractional parts.
3
Find the fraction corresponding to the remaining municipal portion.
16275=13751 - \frac{62}{75} = \frac{13}{75}
Subtracting the allocated fraction from 11 yields the unallocated fractional portion.
4
Calculate the total capacity by setting up a linear equation.
1375×Total=26    Total=26×7513=150\frac{13}{75} \times \text{Total} = 26 \implies \text{Total} = 26 \times \frac{75}{13} = 150
Multiplying the known remaining value by the reciprocal of its fraction gives the whole total.

Substituting the values into the formula gives L=(2)3(1/3)2163/4(2)2+12(1/3)=8984+4=7288=808=10L = \frac{(-2)^3 \cdot (1/3)^{-2} - 16^{3/4}}{(-2)^2 + 12(1/3)} = \frac{-8 \cdot 9 - 8}{4 + 4} = \frac{-72 - 8}{8} = \frac{-80}{8} = -10.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the terms in the numerator containing powers and negative exponents
a3=8a^3 = -8, b2=9b^{-2} = 9, and c3/4=8c^{3/4} = 8
Negative bases raised to odd powers remain negative: (2)3=8(-2)^3 = -8. A negative exponent represents the reciprocal raised to a positive exponent: (1/3)2=32=9(1/3)^{-2} = 3^2 = 9. Fractional exponent c3/4=(164)3=23=8c^{3/4} = (\sqrt[4]{16})^3 = 2^3 = 8.
2
Compute the full numerator
728=80-72 - 8 = -80
Multiply a3a^3 and b2b^{-2} to get (8)(9)=72(-8)(9) = -72, then subtract c3/4=8c^{3/4} = 8.
3
Evaluate the denominator
(2)2+12(13)=4+4=8(-2)^2 + 12\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = 4 + 4 = 8
Squaring a negative number yields a positive value: (2)2=4(-2)^2 = 4. Multiplying 1213=412 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = 4.
4
Divide the numerator by the denominator
808=10\frac{-80}{8} = -10
Dividing a negative integer by a positive integer yields a negative result.

A box contains 1010 tiles labeled with the integers from 11 through 1010. If 22 tiles are drawn at random without replacement, how many distinct pairs of tiles (where the order of selection does not matter) have a sum that is an odd number?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The total number of distinct pairs with an odd sum is 25.
To obtain an odd sum when adding two integers, one integer must be odd and the other must be even. In the range 11 through 1010, there are 55 odd integers (1,3,5,7,91, 3, 5, 7, 9) and 55 even integers (2,4,6,8,102, 4, 6, 8, 10). To form a pair with an odd sum, one tile must be selected from the 55 odd tiles and one tile must be selected from the 55 even tiles. By the Fundamental Counting Principle, the number of such distinct pairs is 5×5=255 \times 5 = 25.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the parity condition for an odd sum
One tile must be odd and the other must be even
The sum of two integers is odd if and only if one addend is odd and the other addend is even.
2
Count the number of odd and even options
5 odd tiles and 5 even tiles
Among the integers 11 through 1010, the odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,91, 3, 5, 7, 9 (55 total) and the even numbers are 2,4,6,8,102, 4, 6, 8, 10 (55 total).
3
Apply the Fundamental Counting Principle
5 × 5 = 25 distinct pairs
Selecting one odd tile out of 5 possibilities and one even tile out of 5 possibilities gives 5×5=255 \times 5 = 25 distinct unordered pairs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the acceptable sums for the two spins
The possible sums strictly greater than 12 are 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Since each spin has a maximum value of 8, the maximum possible sum is 8 + 8 = 16.
2
Count the ordered pairs (spin 1, spin 2) for each valid sum
4 outcomes for sum 13, 3 outcomes for sum 14, 2 outcomes for sum 15, and 1 outcome for sum 16.
First and second spins are ordered, so (5,8) and (8,5) represent distinct outcomes.
3
Sum the outcome counts across all valid cases
4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 outcomes.
The sets of outcomes for distinct sums are mutually exclusive.

Cevap

The average rate of change in conduction velocity over the specified interval is 2.5m/s per 100μm2.5\,\text{m/s per }100\,\mu\text{m} increase in fiber diameter.
To find the average rate of change in conduction velocity per 100μm100\,\mu\text{m} increase in fiber diameter between d=200μmd = 200\,\mu\text{m} and d=600μmd = 600\,\mu\text{m}, subtract the initial velocity (8.0m/s8.0\,\text{m/s}) from the final velocity (18.0m/s18.0\,\text{m/s}) to get Δv=10.0m/s\Delta v = 10.0\,\text{m/s}. Divide by the change in diameter Δd=600200=400μm\Delta d = 600 - 200 = 400\,\mu\text{m} to obtain 0.025m/s per μm0.025\,\text{m/s per }\mu\text{m}. Multiplying by 100100 yields 2.5m/s per 100μm2.5\,\text{m/s per }100\,\mu\text{m}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate data points for d=200μmd = 200\,\mu\text{m} and d=600μmd = 600\,\mu\text{m} in Table 1.
At d=200μmd = 200\,\mu\text{m}, v=8.0m/sv = 8.0\,\text{m/s}. At d=600μmd = 600\,\mu\text{m}, v=18.0m/sv = 18.0\,\text{m/s}.
These data points define the boundaries of the interval specified in the question.
2
Calculate the overall changes in velocity (Δv\Delta v) and diameter (Δd\Delta d).
Δv=18.08.0=10.0m/s\Delta v = 18.0 - 8.0 = 10.0\,\text{m/s} and Δd=600200=400μm\Delta d = 600 - 200 = 400\,\mu\text{m}.

An art gallery manager is arranging 6 unique paintings side by side in a single line on a display wall. Two specific paintings created by the same artist must be placed directly next to each other. How many different line arrangements of the 6 paintings are possible?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 240

Cevap

The total number of different line arrangements is 240.
To satisfy the constraint that two specific paintings must be adjacent, treat them as a single combined block. This reduces the problem to arranging 5 items (the single block plus the other 4 paintings), which can be ordered in 5! = 120 ways. Within the block, the two paintings can be ordered in 2! = 2 ways. Applying the Fundamental Counting Principle gives 120 * 2 = 240 distinct arrangements.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Group the two specific paintings together as a single block.
There are 5 units to arrange (1 block of 2 paintings plus 4 individual paintings).
Since the two paintings must remain adjacent, treating them as a single item guarantees they will stay together.
2
Calculate the permutations of the 5 units.
5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.
There are 5 distinct units being arranged in a straight line.
3
Determine the internal arrangements of the grouped pair.
2! = 2 * 1 = 2 ways.
The two specific paintings within the block can switch positions (Painting A then B, or Painting B then A).
4
Multiply the arrangements together.
120 * 2 = 240 total arrangements.
By the Fundamental Counting Principle, total arrangements equal the number of ways to place the units multiplied by the internal arrangements of the restricted pair.

The value of the expression is -7.
Substituting the given values into the expression requires careful application of exponent rules and order of operations. First, (3)2=9(-3)^2 = 9 and (12)1=2(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1} = -2, so x2y1=9×(2)=18x^2 y^{-1} = 9 \times (-2) = -18. Second, 82/3=(83)2=22=48^{2/3} = (\sqrt[3]{8})^2 = 2^2 = 4. This makes the numerator 18+4=14-18 + 4 = -14. The denominator evaluates to 2(3)(12)1=31=22(-3)(-\frac{1}{2}) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2. Dividing 14-14 by 22 gives the correct answer of 7-7.

If xx is a real number such that log5(x)+log5(x20)=3\log_5(x) + \log_5(x - 20) = 3, what is the value of xx?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The value of xx is 25.
Applying the logarithmic product rule simplifies the equation to log5(x220x)=3\log_5(x^2 - 20x) = 3. Writing this in exponential form yields x220x=125x^2 - 20x = 125. Rearranging into standard form gives x220x125=0x^2 - 20x - 125 = 0, which factors into (x25)(x+5)=0(x - 25)(x + 5) = 0. This gives potential solutions of 2525 and 5-5. Because the logarithmic arguments must be strictly positive, x=5x = -5 is extraneous. Therefore, the only correct value is 25.

1
Use the product property of logarithms to combine the terms on the left side.
log5(x(x20))=3\log_5(x(x - 20)) = 3
The sum of logarithms with the same base is equal to the logarithm of the product of their arguments: logb(M)+logb(N)=logb(MN)\log_b(M) + \log_b(N) = \log_b(MN).
2
Rewrite the logarithmic equation in exponential form.
x(x20)=53    x220x=125x(x - 20) = 5^3 \implies x^2 - 20x = 125
The logarithmic equation logb(y)=c\log_b(y) = c is equivalent to the exponential equation bc=yb^c = y.
3
Rearrange the quadratic equation into standard form and solve by factoring.
x220x125=0    (x25)(x+5)=0    x=25 or x=5x^2 - 20x - 125 = 0 \implies (x - 25)(x + 5) = 0 \implies x = 25 \text{ or } x = -5
Subtracting 125 from both sides sets the quadratic equation to 0, which can then be factored into binomials whose product is 0.
4
Verify the potential solutions in the original equation to identify any extraneous roots.
For x=5x = -5, the arguments of the original logarithms are negative, which is undefined. For x=25x = 25, the arguments are positive. Thus, the only valid solution is x=25x = 25.
Logarithmic functions are only defined for positive real numbers. Therefore, we must have x>0x > 0 and x20>0x - 20 > 0, which requires x>20x > 20.

In ABC\triangle ABC, the measure of angle AA is 4040^\circ. Point DD lies on side ACAC such that segment BDBD bisects angle ABCABC. If the measure of angle BDCBDC is 7575^\circ, what is the measure, in degrees, of angle CC?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 70

Cevap

The measure of angle C is 70 degrees.
The correct measure of angle CC is found by first identifying that angle ADBADB is supplementary to angle BDCBDC, giving a measure of 105105^\circ. Using the triangle angle sum theorem on triangle ABDABD, we find that angle ABDABD is 3535^\circ. Since BDBD bisects angle ABCABC, angle DBCDBC is also 3535^\circ. Finally, applying the triangle angle sum theorem to triangle BCDBCD, we subtract the measures of angles DBCDBC (3535^\circ) and BDCBDC (7575^\circ) from 180180^\circ to get 7070^\circ.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the measure of angle ADBADB using the supplementary angle relationship with angle BDCBDC.
105105^\circ
Angles ADBADB and BDCBDC form a linear pair along the line segment ACAC, so their sum is 180180^\circ.
2
Find the measure of angle ABDABD using the sum of interior angles in ABD\triangle ABD.
3535^\circ
The sum of interior angles in any triangle is 180180^\circ. Therefore, the measure of angle ABDABD is 180(40+105)=35180^\circ - (40^\circ + 105^\circ) = 35^\circ.
3
Find the measure of angle DBCDBC using the definition of an angle bisector.
3535^\circ
Since segment BDBD bisects angle ABCABC, the measures of angles ABDABD and DBCDBC must be equal.
4
Find the measure of angle CC using the sum of interior angles in BCD\triangle BCD.
7070^\circ
The sum of interior angles in BCD\triangle BCD is 180180^\circ. Therefore, the measure of angle CC is 180(35+75)=70180^\circ - (35^\circ + 75^\circ) = 70^\circ.

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The length of leg BCBC is 12 centimeters.
Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have 52+BC2=1325^2 + BC^2 = 13^2, which simplifies to 25+BC2=16925 + BC^2 = 169. Subtracting 25 from both sides gives BC2=144BC^2 = 144, and taking the square root of both sides gives BC=12BC = 12 centimeters.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the Pythagorean Theorem equation for right triangle ABCABC.
AB2+BC2=AC2AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
2
Substitute the given values for ABAB and ACAC into the formula.
52+BC2=1325^2 + BC^2 = 13^2
The length of leg ABAB is given as 5 centimeters, and the length of the hypotenuse ACAC is given as 13 centimeters.
3
Solve for the unknown leg length BCBC.
BC=12BC = 12
Squaring the values gives 25+BC2=16925 + BC^2 = 169. Subtracting 25 from both sides yields BC2=144BC^2 = 144. Taking the square root of both sides gives BC=12BC = 12.

The circle x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25 and the line y=2x5y = 2x - 5 intersect at two points. What is the sum of the yy-coordinates of these two intersection points?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -2

Cevap

The sum of the yy-coordinates of the intersection points is 2-2.
Substituting y=2x5y = 2x - 5 into the circular equation x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25 yields the quadratic equation 5x220x=05x^2 - 20x = 0. Factoring this equation gives x=0x = 0 and x=4x = 4. Evaluating the linear equation at these values gives the yy-coordinates 5-5 and 33. The sum of these coordinates is 5+3=2-5 + 3 = -2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Substitute y=2x5y = 2x - 5 into the circle equation x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25.
x2+(2x5)2=25x^2 + (2x - 5)^2 = 25
To find the points of intersection, we solve the system of equations by substitution.
2
Expand and simplify the resulting equation.
5x220x=05x^2 - 20x = 0
Expanding (2x5)2(2x - 5)^2 gives 4x220x+254x^2 - 20x + 25. Combining like terms and subtracting 25 from both sides simplifies the equation.
3
Factor the quadratic equation to solve for xx.
x=0x = 0 or x=4x = 4
Factoring out 5x5x gives 5x(x4)=05x(x - 4) = 0, which yields the roots x=0x = 0 and x=4x = 4.
4
Find the corresponding yy-coordinates by substituting the xx-values back into y=2x5y = 2x - 5.
The intersection points are (0,5)(0, -5) and (4,3)(4, 3).
For x=0x = 0, y=2(0)5=5y = 2(0) - 5 = -5. For x=4x = 4, y=2(4)5=3y = 2(4) - 5 = 3.
5
Calculate the sum of the yy-coordinates.

Adding the yy-coordinates 5-5 and 33 gives 5+3=2-5 + 3 = -2.

In the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane, a triangle has vertices at A(0,1)A(0, 1), B(2,3)B(2, 3), and C(8,11)C(8, 11). If point MM is the midpoint of side ABAB and point NN is the midpoint of side ACAC, what is the length of the line segment MNMN?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The length of the line segment MNMN is 55.
The length of the line segment MNMN is 55. Calculating the coordinates of the midpoint of ABAB, we get M(1,2)M(1, 2). For ACAC, the midpoint is N(4,6)N(4, 6). Applying the distance formula between MM and NN yields (41)2+(62)2=9+16=5\sqrt{(4-1)^2 + (6-2)^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = 5. Alternatively, by the Midsegment Theorem, the segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side. The length of the third side BCBC is (82)2+(113)2=36+64=10\sqrt{(8-2)^2 + (11-3)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = 10, so the length of MNMN is 102=5\frac{10}{2} = 5.

In a convex polygon, the measures of the interior angles form an arithmetic progression. The smallest interior angle measures 120120^\circ, and the common difference between consecutive interior angles is 55^\circ. What is the number of sides of this polygon?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The number of sides of the polygon is 9.
The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with nn sides is (n2)×180(n-2) \times 180^\circ. Since the angles form an arithmetic progression with the first term a=120a = 120^\circ and common difference d=5d = 5^\circ, their sum is also given by the arithmetic series formula: Sn=n2[2(120)+(n1)5]=n2(5n+235)S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2(120) + (n-1)5] = \frac{n}{2}(5n + 235). Setting the two sums equal yields n2(5n+235)=180(n2)\frac{n}{2}(5n + 235) = 180(n - 2), which simplifies to the quadratic equation n225n+144=0n^2 - 25n + 144 = 0. Solving this gives n=9n = 9 or n=16n = 16. Because the polygon is convex, every interior angle must be less than 180180^\circ. If n=16n = 16, the largest angle would be 120+15(5)=195120^\circ + 15(5^\circ) = 195^\circ, which is impossible for a convex polygon. If n=9n = 9, the largest angle is 120+8(5)=160120^\circ + 8(5^\circ) = 160^\circ, which is valid. Therefore, the number of sides must be 9.

1
Set up the equation equating the geometric sum of interior angles to the arithmetic series sum.
The sum of the interior angles of a convex nn-gon is (n2)×180(n - 2) \times 180^\circ. The sum of the arithmetic sequence of angles is Sn=n2[2(120)+(n1)5]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2(120^\circ) + (n - 1)5^\circ]. Setting them equal gives: n2(5n+235)=180(n2)\frac{n}{2}(5n + 235) = 180(n - 2).
This establishes the algebraic relationship between the polygon's geometric properties and the given sequence of angle measures.
2
Simplify the equation and solve the resulting quadratic equation for nn.
5n2+235n=360n7205n2125n+720=0n225n+144=05n^2 + 235n = 360n - 720 \Rightarrow 5n^2 - 125n + 720 = 0 \Rightarrow n^2 - 25n + 144 = 0. Factoring the quadratic yields (n9)(n16)=0(n - 9)(n - 16) = 0, so n=9n = 9 or n=16n = 16.
Solving the quadratic equation yields all mathematically possible values for the number of sides.
3
Apply the convexity constraint to determine the valid number of sides.
For a polygon to be convex, every interior angle must be less than 180180^\circ. For n=16n = 16, the largest angle is 120+15(5)=195120^\circ + 15(5^\circ) = 195^\circ, which is impossible. For n=9n = 9, the largest angle is 120+8(5)=160120^\circ + 8(5^\circ) = 160^\circ, which is valid.
The definition of a convex polygon requires all interior angles to be strictly less than 180180^\circ, which eliminates the extraneous solution of 16.

The equation x2+y212x+8y+3=0x^2 + y^2 - 12x + 8y + 3 = 0 defines a circle in the standard (x,y)(x, y) coordinate plane. What is the radius of this circle?

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The radius of the circle is 7.
Completing the square on the given equation yields (x6)2+(y+4)2=49(x - 6)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 49. By comparing this to the standard circle equation (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, we find r2=49r^2 = 49. Taking the square root of 4949 gives a radius of 77.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Group the xx and yy terms and move the constant to the right-hand side of the equation.
x212x+y2+8y=3x^2 - 12x + y^2 + 8y = -3
This groups terms containing the same variables together to prepare for completing the square.
2
Add the square of half of the linear coefficients to both sides to complete the square for both xx and yy.
(x212x+36)+(y2+8y+16)=3+36+16(x^2 - 12x + 36) + (y^2 + 8y + 16) = -3 + 36 + 16
Adding (122)2=36(\frac{-12}{2})^2 = 36 and (82)2=16(\frac{8}{2})^2 = 16 to both sides forms perfect square trinomials on the left side while maintaining equality.
3
Factor the trinomials into squared binomials and combine the constants on the right side.
(x6)2+(y+4)2=49(x - 6)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 49
This rewrites the equation in the standard circle equation form.
4
Extract the radius from the standard form equation (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2.
r=7r = 7
Since the constant on the right side corresponds to r2r^2, taking the square root of 4949 gives the radius of the circle.
