- The resistance of a copper wire carrying an electrical current is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. A copper wire with a diameter of 0.0126inch has a resistance of 64.9ohms per thousand feet. What length of 0.0201-inch-diameter copper wire will produce a resistance of 33.5ohms?arrow_forwardA. Representing Functions Juan is working as a seller of salted eggs, His boss lets him sell it for 15 pesos per piece, and which is not the real price of it, for him to have an additional income to his 200 pesos working salary that his boss always gives him. What will be the equation/s in finding the amount of his income per day considering that the real price of the salted egg is only 13 pesos? Representations: I- Total income per day E- Number of salted eggs sold 1. Which do you think is the independent variable? 2. Which do you think is the dependent variable? 3. What will be the equation for Total income per day? 4. What will be his Total Income, if he sold 200 pieces in a day? 5. How about if he has no sales in a day? 6. Create new equations for his (a.) daily SALES and (b.) his total daily income if his boss sets discounts such that every 3 eggs will cost 40 pesos. (he will be given 4 pesos per 3 salted eggs)arrow_forwardState whether each function is increasing, decreasing, or neither. a. Volume of a sphere as a function of its radius b.

- When a car makes an emergency stop on dry pavement, it leaves skid marks on the pavement. The speed S, in miles per hour, of the car when the brakes were applied is related to the length L, in feet, of the skid mark. The relationship is S(L) = 5.05 (square root) Use functional notation to express the speed at which the skid mark will be 60 feet. Calculate that speed. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) mpharrow_forwardDerive the following function 6. y = 23x²arrow_forwardSince the start of the year, the price of gasoline has been decreasing at the cost of 5 cents per gallonper month.
