Two lines with slopes (frac{1}{4}) and (frac{5}{4}) intersect at ((1,1)). What is the area of the triangle formed by these two lines and the vertical line (x=5)?(A) 5(B) 10(C) 8(D) 12(E) 15

💡Okay, so I have this problem here where two lines with slopes 1/4 and 5/4 intersect at the point (1,1). I need to find the area of the triangle formed by these two lines and the vertical line x=5. The answer choices are 5, 10, 8, 12, and 15. Hmm, let's see how to approach this.First, I remember that to find the area of a triangle, I need to know the base and the height. But in this case, the triangle is formed by two lines and a vertical line, so I need to figure out the coordinates where these lines intersect the vertical line x=5. Once I have those points, I can determine the base and height of the triangle.So, let's start by finding the equations of the two lines. Both lines pass through the point (1,1), and they have slopes of 1/4 and 5/4. I can use the point-slope form of a line, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point the line passes through.For the first line with slope 1/4:y - 1 = (1/4)(x - 1)Let me simplify that:y = (1/4)x - (1/4) + 1y = (1/4)x + (3/4)Okay, so the equation of the first line is y = (1/4)x + 3/4.For the second line with slope 5/4:y - 1 = (5/4)(x - 1)Simplifying:y = (5/4)x - (5/4) + 1y = (5/4)x - (1/4)So, the equation of the second line is y = (5/4)x - 1/4.Now, I need to find where these two lines intersect the vertical line x=5. Since x=5 is a vertical line, its equation is simply x=5, and it doesn't have a slope or a y-intercept. To find the points of intersection, I can plug x=5 into both equations of the lines.Starting with the first line, y = (1/4)x + 3/4:y = (1/4)(5) + 3/4y = 5/4 + 3/4y = 8/4y = 2So, the first line intersects x=5 at the point (5, 2).Now, for the second line, y = (5/4)x - 1/4:y = (5/4)(5) - 1/4y = 25/4 - 1/4y = 24/4y = 6So, the second line intersects x=5 at the point (5, 6).Now, I have three points that form the triangle:1. The intersection point of the two lines: (1, 1)2. The intersection of the first line with x=5: (5, 2)3. The intersection of the second line with x=5: (5, 6)Let me visualize this. The triangle has vertices at (1,1), (5,2), and (5,6). To find the area, I can use the formula for the area of a triangle given three vertices. The formula is:Area = (1/2) | (x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2)) |Plugging in the coordinates:x1 = 1, y1 = 1x2 = 5, y2 = 2x3 = 5, y3 = 6So,Area = (1/2) | 1*(2 - 6) + 5*(6 - 1) + 5*(1 - 2) |= (1/2) | 1*(-4) + 5*(5) + 5*(-1) |= (1/2) | -4 + 25 - 5 |= (1/2) | 16 |= (1/2)*16= 8Alternatively, I could have noticed that the base of the triangle is along the vertical line x=5 from (5,2) to (5,6), which is a length of 4 units. The height of the triangle would be the horizontal distance from x=1 to x=5, which is 4 units. Then, using the formula for the area of a triangle (1/2)*base*height, it would be (1/2)*4*4 = 8.Either way, the area is 8. Looking back at the answer choices, 8 is option C. So, I think the answer is C) 8.But wait, just to make sure I didn't make any calculation errors. Let me double-check the points of intersection.For the first line:y = (1/4)x + 3/4At x=5:y = (1/4)*5 + 3/4 = 5/4 + 3/4 = 8/4 = 2. Correct.For the second line:y = (5/4)x - 1/4At x=5:y = (5/4)*5 - 1/4 = 25/4 - 1/4 = 24/4 = 6. Correct.So, the points are correct. The base is from (5,2) to (5,6), which is 4 units. The height is from x=1 to x=5, which is 4 units. So, area is (1/2)*4*4=8. Yep, that seems right.I think I'm confident with this answer.

Given sets A={xleft|right.x lt 2} and B={-1,0,1,2}, then A⋂B=left( right)A: {2}B: {0,1}C: {-1,0,1}D: {-1,0,1,2}

💡First, identify the elements of set ( B ), which are (-1, 0, 1, 2).Next, determine which of these elements are less than 2, as set ( A ) includes all real numbers less than 2.- (-1 < 2)- (0 < 2)- (1 < 2)- (2) is not less than 2Therefore, the elements (-1, 0, 1) are common to both sets ( A ) and ( B ).Thus, the intersection ( A cap B ) is ({-1, 0, 1}).

The condition "sinx cosx > 0" is a(n) _______ condition for "sinx + cosx > 1".A: Necessary but not sufficientB: Sufficient but not necessaryC: Both necessary and sufficientD: Neither necessary nor sufficient

💡Okay, so I have this problem here: "The condition 'sinx cosx > 0' is a(n) _______ condition for 'sinx + cosx > 1'." The options are A: Necessary but not sufficient, B: Sufficient but not necessary, C: Both necessary and sufficient, D: Neither necessary nor sufficient. Hmm, I need to figure out whether 'sinx cosx > 0' is a necessary, sufficient, both, or neither condition for 'sinx + cosx > 1'.First, let me recall what necessary and sufficient conditions mean. A necessary condition is one that must be true for another statement to be true, but it alone doesn't guarantee the truth of that statement. On the other hand, a sufficient condition is one that, if it's true, guarantees the truth of another statement, but the other statement might be true even if this condition isn't.So, in this case, I need to see if 'sinx cosx > 0' is necessary for 'sinx + cosx > 1', meaning that whenever 'sinx + cosx > 1' is true, 'sinx cosx > 0' must also be true. And I also need to check if 'sinx cosx > 0' is sufficient, meaning that if 'sinx cosx > 0' is true, then 'sinx + cosx > 1' must also be true.Let me start by analyzing 'sinx cosx > 0'. I know that sinx and cosx are both positive in the first quadrant (0 to π/2) and both negative in the third quadrant (π to 3π/2). So, 'sinx cosx > 0' implies that x is in the first or third quadrant.Now, let's consider 'sinx + cosx > 1'. I remember that sinx + cosx can be rewritten using the identity: sinx + cosx = √2 sin(x + π/4). So, √2 sin(x + π/4) > 1 implies sin(x + π/4) > 1/√2. The solutions to this inequality are when x + π/4 is in the first or second quadrant, specifically between π/4 and 3π/4, so x is between 0 and π/2, or between 3π/4 and 5π/4, but wait, actually, let me think again.Wait, sinθ > 1/√2 occurs when θ is between π/4 and 3π/4, so x + π/4 is between π/4 and 3π/4, meaning x is between 0 and π/2. Similarly, sinθ > 1/√2 also occurs when θ is between 5π/4 and 7π/4, so x + π/4 is between 5π/4 and 7π/4, meaning x is between π and 3π/2. So, 'sinx + cosx > 1' is true when x is in (0, π/2) or (π, 3π/2).Wait, that doesn't seem right because when x is between π and 3π/2, both sinx and cosx are negative, so their sum would be negative, which can't be greater than 1. Hmm, maybe I made a mistake in the transformation.Let me double-check the identity: sinx + cosx = √2 sin(x + π/4). So, sin(x + π/4) > 1/√2. The sine function is greater than 1/√2 in the intervals (π/4, 3π/4) and (5π/4, 7π/4). So, solving for x:For the first interval: π/4 < x + π/4 < 3π/4 ⇒ 0 < x < π/2.For the second interval: 5π/4 < x + π/4 < 7π/4 ⇒ π < x < 3π/2.Wait, but when x is between π and 3π/2, sinx and cosx are both negative, so their sum would be negative, which can't be greater than 1. So, maybe the second interval doesn't actually satisfy 'sinx + cosx > 1'. Let me test x = 5π/4, which is in the third quadrant. sin(5π/4) = -√2/2, cos(5π/4) = -√2/2, so their sum is -√2 ≈ -1.414, which is less than 1. So, that interval doesn't work. So, actually, 'sinx + cosx > 1' is only true when x is in (0, π/2).Wait, that seems conflicting with the earlier result. Maybe I need to approach this differently.Alternatively, let's square both sides of 'sinx + cosx > 1' to see if that helps. So, (sinx + cosx)^2 > 1. Expanding, we get sin²x + 2 sinx cosx + cos²x > 1. Since sin²x + cos²x = 1, this simplifies to 1 + 2 sinx cosx > 1 ⇒ 2 sinx cosx > 0 ⇒ sinx cosx > 0.Wait, so that means that 'sinx + cosx > 1' implies that 'sinx cosx > 0'. So, 'sinx cosx > 0' is a necessary condition for 'sinx + cosx > 1'. Because if 'sinx + cosx > 1' is true, then 'sinx cosx > 0' must also be true.But is 'sinx cosx > 0' sufficient for 'sinx + cosx > 1'? Let's see. If 'sinx cosx > 0', then x is in the first or third quadrant. In the first quadrant, both sinx and cosx are positive, so their sum could be greater than 1. For example, at x = π/4, sinx = cosx = √2/2 ≈ 0.707, so their sum is √2 ≈ 1.414 > 1. But what about x = π/6? sin(π/6) = 1/2, cos(π/6) = √3/2 ≈ 0.866, so their sum is ≈ 1.366 > 1. Hmm, still greater than 1.Wait, but what about x approaching 0? As x approaches 0, sinx approaches 0 and cosx approaches 1, so their sum approaches 1. So, just above 0, sinx + cosx is just above 1. But wait, when x is very small, say x = 0.1 radians, sin(0.1) ≈ 0.0998, cos(0.1) ≈ 0.995, so their sum is ≈ 1.0948 > 1. So, it's still greater than 1.Wait, but what about x = π/2? At x = π/2, sinx = 1, cosx = 0, so their sum is 1. So, just below π/2, say x = π/2 - 0.1, sinx ≈ 0.995, cosx ≈ 0.0998, sum ≈ 1.0948 > 1. So, in the first quadrant, 'sinx + cosx' is always greater than 1?Wait, no, that can't be right because when x approaches 0, sinx + cosx approaches 1, but is slightly above 1. Wait, actually, let's compute the minimum of 'sinx + cosx' in the first quadrant.The function 'sinx + cosx' has a maximum of √2 at x = π/4 and a minimum of 1 at x = 0 and x = π/2. So, in the first quadrant, 'sinx + cosx' is always greater than or equal to 1, but actually, at x = 0 and x = π/2, it's exactly 1. So, for x in (0, π/2), 'sinx + cosx' is greater than 1.But in the third quadrant, where both sinx and cosx are negative, their sum would be negative, which is less than 1. So, 'sinx cosx > 0' includes both the first and third quadrants, but 'sinx + cosx > 1' only occurs in the first quadrant.So, if 'sinx cosx > 0' is true, it could be in the first or third quadrant. But 'sinx + cosx > 1' only occurs in the first quadrant. Therefore, 'sinx cosx > 0' is necessary for 'sinx + cosx > 1' because whenever 'sinx + cosx > 1' is true, 'sinx cosx > 0' must be true. But 'sinx cosx > 0' is not sufficient because it could also be in the third quadrant where 'sinx + cosx > 1' is false.Therefore, the condition 'sinx cosx > 0' is necessary but not sufficient for 'sinx + cosx > 1'. So, the answer should be A.Wait, but earlier when I squared both sides, I concluded that 'sinx + cosx > 1' implies 'sinx cosx > 0', which makes 'sinx cosx > 0' a necessary condition. And since 'sinx cosx > 0' doesn't guarantee 'sinx + cosx > 1' because it could be in the third quadrant, it's not sufficient. So, yeah, A is correct.

Jett bought a cow from the market at 600 and took it to his farm. He spent 20 every day to buy food. He also used 500 to vaccinate and deworm the cow. If he sold the cow for 2500 after 40 days, calculate the profit he made from selling back the cow to the market.

💡First, I need to determine the total cost Jett incurred in purchasing and maintaining the cow. He initially bought the cow for 600 and spent an additional 500 on vaccination and deworming. This gives a total of 1,100 for these one-time expenses.Next, Jett spends 20 each day on food for the cow. Over 40 days, this amounts to 800 in food costs.Adding the one-time expenses and the food costs together, the total expenses amount to 1,900.Jett sold the cow for 2,500. To find the profit, I subtract the total expenses from the selling price: 2,500 minus 1,900 equals a profit of 600.

Crazy Eddie has a key chain factory. He managed to decrease the cost of manufacturing his key chains while keeping the same selling price. The profit from the sale of each key chain increased to 50% of the selling price. If the manufacturing cost is now 50 and it was 70 before the decrease, what was the profit percentage before the decrease?

💡Okay, so I'm trying to figure out this problem about Crazy Eddie and his key chain factory. Let me read it again carefully."Crazy Eddie has a key chain factory. He managed to decrease the cost of manufacturing his key chains while keeping the same selling price. The profit from the sale of each key chain increased to 50% of the selling price. If the manufacturing cost is now 50 and it was 70 before the decrease, what was the profit percentage before the decrease?"Alright, so let's break this down. There are a few key pieces of information here:1. The manufacturing cost decreased from 70 to 50.2. The selling price remained the same.3. After the decrease, the profit is 50% of the selling price.4. We need to find the profit percentage before the decrease.First, I need to understand what "profit percentage" means. I think it refers to the percentage of the selling price that is profit. So, if the selling price is 100 and the profit is 30, then the profit percentage is 30%.Given that after the decrease, the profit is 50% of the selling price, and the manufacturing cost is now 50, I can probably find the selling price first. Once I have the selling price, I can then calculate the profit before the decrease when the manufacturing cost was 70.Let me denote the selling price as P.After the decrease:Profit = 50% of P = 0.5PManufacturing cost = 50So, selling price = manufacturing cost + profitTherefore:P = 50 + 0.5PHmm, that seems like an equation I can solve for P.Subtract 0.5P from both sides:P - 0.5P = 500.5P = 50So, P = 50 / 0.5 = 100Okay, so the selling price is 100.Now, before the decrease, the manufacturing cost was 70, and the selling price was still 100.So, profit before the decrease = selling price - manufacturing cost = 100 - 70 = 30Now, to find the profit percentage before the decrease, I need to express this profit as a percentage of the selling price.Profit percentage = (Profit / Selling Price) * 100%So:Profit percentage = (30 / 100) * 100% = 30%Wait, that seems straightforward. But let me double-check to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.First, after the decrease:Profit = 0.5P = 0.5 * 100 = 50Manufacturing cost = 50So, selling price = 50 + 50 = 100, which matches what I found earlier.Before the decrease:Manufacturing cost = 70Selling price = 100Profit = 100 - 70 = 30Profit percentage = (30 / 100) * 100% = 30%Yes, that seems correct.I think I've got it. The profit percentage before the decrease was 30%.

💡First, I need to compare the given decimal numbers to determine which one is the largest. I'll start by examining the tenths and hundredths digits of each option, as these are the most significant digits in determining the size of the number.All the options have the same tenths digit, which is 9, and the same hundredths digit, which is 3. This means I need to look at the thousandths digit to find a difference.Next, I'll compare the thousandths digits:- Option (A) has a 8 in the thousandths place.- Option (B) has a 8 in the thousandths place.- Option (C) has a 8 in the thousandths place.- Option (D) has a 7 in the thousandths place.- Option (E) has a 8 in the thousandths place.Since all options except (D) have the same thousandths digit, I'll move on to the ten-thousandths digit for further comparison:- Option (A) has a 7 in the ten-thousandths place.- Option (B) has a 1 in the ten-thousandths place.- Option (C) has a 5 in the ten-thousandths place.- Option (E) has a 9 in the ten-thousandths place.Among these, Option (E) has the highest digit in the ten-thousandths place, which is 9. Therefore, Option (E) is the largest value.
