Recall that
Pressure = Force ÷ Area

In this context we have,
Pressure = 24,000 ÷ (16 × 12)
= 24,000 ÷ 192
= 125 Pa

Answer:

125 N/m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the the pressure(P) we need area(A) and force(F) because pressure is a function of force and area:

$P=F/A$ $(N/m^2)$

We can calculate the Area as:

$A=16*12=192$ m^2

Therefore we can calculate pressure per square meter:

$P=24000*(192)=4608000$ N/m^2

Product Property: Sometimes also referred to as the Zero Product Property, states that if AB=0 , than A=0 and/or B=0.

Example: If AB=0, than A=0 and/or B=0.

Quotient Property: Sometimes also referred to as the Quotient of Powers Property, states that when you have the same base, you subtract the exponents.

Example: (5^3)/(5^7) = 5^-4 OR 1/(5^4)

Negative Exponent: This simply means "How many times I you divide by that number?"

Example: 5^-3 = 5/5/5 = 0.2

Power of a Power Property: Sometimes also referred to as the Product of Powers Property, states that rather than adding the exponents of that base, you multiply them instead. This is the way to find the single exponent of the base.

Example: 5^3^3 = 5^(3*3*3) = 5^27

Power of a Product Property: For this property, rather than multiplying the exponents of the same base, you add them instead.

Example: 5^3 * 5^15 = 25^18

Terrence and Lee were selling magazines for a charity. In the first week, Terrance sold 30% more than Lee. In the second week, T

timurjin [86]

Lee sold 60 magazine

Step-by-step explanation:

Terrence and Lee were selling magazines for a charity

In the first week, Terrance sold 30% more than Lee
In the second week, Terrance sold 12 magazines, but Lee did not sell any
Terrance sold 50% more than Lee by the end of the second week

We need to find how many magazines Lee sold

Assume that Lee sold x magazines

∵ Terrance sold 30% more than Lee in the first week

∵ Lee sold x magazines in the first week

- Find 30% of x and add it to x to find how many magazines

Terrance sold

∵ Terrance sold = 30% × x + x

∴ Terrance sold = $\frac{30}{100}$ × x + x = 0.3 x + x

∴ Terrance sold = 1.3 x magazines in the first week

∵ Terrance sold 12 magazines in the second week

- Add 1.3 x to 12 to find the number of magazines that Terrence

sold in the two weeks

∴ Terrence sold 1.3 x + 12 magazines in the two weeks

∵ Lee did not sell any in the next week

∴ Lee sold x magazines in the two weeks

∵ Terrance sold 50% more than Lee by the end of the 2nd week

- Equate 1.3 x + 12 by the sum of x and 50% of x

∴ 1.3 x + 12 = 50% × x + x

∵ 50% × x = $\frac{50}{100}$ × x = 0.5 x

∴ 1.3 x + 12 = 0.5 x + x

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∴ 1.3 x + 12 = 1.5 x

- Subtract 1.3 x from both sides

∴ 12 = 0.2 x

- Divide both sides by 0.2

∴ 60 = x

Lee sold 60 magazine

The solution set for -2x^2+12x=0

natita [175]

Answer:

{0,6}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x^2+12x = 0

Factor out a -2x

-2x(x-6) =0

Using the zero product property

-2x = 0 and x-6=0

-2x = 0

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 0/-2

x=0

x-6=0

Add 6 to each side

x-6+6 =0+6

x=6

The solutions are 0 and 6

Jennifer's grandmother buys carrots at the farm stand. She and her 3 grandchildren equally share the carrots. The total weigh of

viva [34]

Jennifer will get 7 kilograms of carrots.

To solve this, simply divide 28 by 4, which is the total number of people sharing the carrots altogether. You wouldn’t divide the number of carrots, 3, by 4, because that is additional info that is out there to throw you off track. Instead, to find the weight of the carrots that Jennifer would get, you would divide the total weight of the carrots by the people sharing them to get 7 kg.
