The equation variation for the electric circuit is  V = 25R.

In each electric circuit, the voltage in a battery is measured in volt and the resistance in the circuit is measured in ohms.

The voltage, V is directly proportional to the resistance, R. In a given circuit the voltage is 200 volts, when the resistance is 8 ohms.

The equation variation for the circuit can be represented as follows:

V α R

V = kR

where

Therefore,

voltage = 200 volts

resistance = 8 ohms

200 = 8k

k = 200 / 8

k = 25

Answer:

116.7m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

distance(s) = 1km = 1 × 1000m = 1000m

Time(t) = 60– 30 = 30s

initial velocity = u

acceleration (a) = 10m/s

using the formula

S = ut + ½at²

1000 = 30u + ½ × 10 × 30²

1000 = 30u + 5 × 900

1000 = 30u + 4500

30u = 4500 – 1000

30u = 3500

divide both sides by 30

The gross pay of Adrian Ortega for assembling 70 units of electronics in a week is $425

Gross pay refers to the total payment earned over a period of time.

Adrian Ortega assembled 70 units in one week

Pay for 1–20 units = $4.50 × 20

= $90

Pay for 21 - 30 units = $5.50 × 10

= $55

Pay for 30 - 70 = $7 × 40

There is no point of intersection between a line that is tangent to the function () = x²  + 4 at = −1 , and the function () = x²  − 4

To find the point of intersection between the line that is tangent to the function y = x²  + 4 at x = −1 and the function y = x²  − 4 , we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x. This will give us the x-coordinate of the point of intersection.

Setting the two equations equal to each other, we have:

x^2 + 4 = x² - 4

This simplifies to:

2 = -8

This equation has no solutions, so the two functions do not intersect. This means that the point of intersection does not exist.

Alternatively, we could see that the two functions have different slopes at the point x = −1 .

However, since the two functions have different y-intercepts, they cannot be tangent to each other at this point. Therefore, the point of intersection does not exist.

Surface area of the given prism is 6 square cm .

How to Calculate the Surface Area of Prism?

The steps to determine the surface area of the prism are:

Step 1: Note down the given dimensions of the prism.

Step 2: Substitute the dimensions in the surface area of prism formula (2 × Base Area) + (Base perimeter × height).

Step 3: The value of the surface area of the prism is obtained and the unit of the surface area of the prism is placed in the end (in terms of square units).

The lateral area is the area of the vertical faces, in case a prism has its bases facing up and down. Thus, the lateral surface area of prism = base perimeter × height

The total surface area of a Prism = Lateral surface area of prism + area of the two bases = (2 × Base Area) + Lateral surface area or (2 × Base Area) + (Base perimeter × height).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know 5 movies and 2 video games cost $16 and 3 movies and 8 video games cost $47.

Let x be the cost of 1 movie and y be the cost of a video game.

5x + 2y = 16

3x + 8y = 47

In the first equation, lets solve for y

2y = 16 - 5x

y = 8 - 2.5x

Now, we can substitute this into the other equation.

3x + 8(8 - 2.5x) = 47

3x + 64 - 20x = 47

-17 x = - 17

x = 1

So a movie costs $1 to rent.

2y = 16 - 5(1)

2y = 11

y = 5.5

A video game costs $5.50 to rent.

The equation in standard form of the line that has a slope of 1/4 and passes through the point (4, −8) is written as: -x + 4y = -36.

The equation of a line can be written in standard form as Ax + By = C.

Given the following:

A point (4, -8) = (a, b).

Slope (m) = 1/4.

Substitute m = 1/4 and (a, b) = (4, -8) into y - b = m(x - a):

y - (-8) = 1/4(x - 4)

y + 8 = 1/4(x - 4)

Rewrite the equation in standard form:

4(y + 8) = x - 4

4y + 32 = x - 4

The Fourier transform of this sequence does not exist

What is Fourier Transform?

The output of a Fourier transform is a function of frequency and is a mathematical transformation that breaks down functions into frequency components.

To determine the z-transform of a given sequence, we need to find the sum of the sequence's terms multiplied by z raised to the negative of the term's position. For example, given a sequence x[n], the z-transform X(z) is given by:

[tex]X(z) = sum_{n=-infinity}^{infinity} x[n] * z^{-n}[/tex]

To sketch the pole-zero plot of a z-transform, we need to plot the poles (values of z where the z-transform is infinite) and zeros (values of z where the z-transform is zero) in the complex plane. The region of convergence (ROC) is the set of values of z for which the sum defining the z-transform converges.

[tex]x[n] = a^n u[n][/tex], where a is a constant and u[n] is the unit step function[tex](u[n] = 1 for n > = 0[/tex] and [tex]u[n] = 0 for n < 0)[/tex]

The z-transform of this sequence is given by:

[tex]X(z) = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} a^n * z^{-n}= 1 / (1 - a*z^{-1})[/tex]

This z-transform has a pole at z = 1/a and a zero at z = 0. The pole-zero plot consists of a single pole at 1/a in the complex plane. The ROC is the set of values of z such that [tex]|a*z^{-1}| < 1[/tex], which is the region inside the unit circle centered at the origin. The Fourier transform of this sequence exists.

[tex]x[n] = (-1)^n u[n].[/tex]

The z-transform of this sequence is given by:

[tex]X(z) = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} (-1)^n * z^{-n}= 1 / (1 + z^{-1})[/tex]

This z-transform has a pole at z = -1 and a zero at z = 0. The pole-zero plot consists of a single pole at -1 in the complex plane. The ROC is the set of values of z such that [tex]|z^{-1}| < 1[/tex], which is the region inside the unit circle centered at the origin. The Fourier transform of this sequence exists.

[tex]x[n] = n^2 u[n].[/tex]

The z-transform of this sequence is given by:

[tex]X(z) = sum_{n=0}^{infinity} n^2 * z^{-n}= z^{-2} / (1 - z^{-1})^3[/tex]

This z-transform has poles at z = 1, z = 1, and z = 1. The pole-zero plot consists of three poles at the origin in the complex plane. The ROC is the set of values of z such that [tex]|z^{-1}| > 1[/tex], which is the region outside the unit circle centered at the origin.
