18. The volume of a cone can be E×ρréššed as V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. Since the base and height of the pile are always equal, we can E×ρréšš the volume as V = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)πh^3. Taking the derivative with respect to time, we get dV/dt = πh^2 dh/dt = 30. We know that h = 10 ft, so we can solve for dh/dt: dh/dt = 30/(π(10)^2) ≈ 0.0938 ft/min. Therefore, the answer is (a) 0.238 ft/min (rounded to three decimal places).

19. To find when the particle comes to rest, we need to find when the velocity is zero. Taking the derivative of the position equation gives us v = 4t^3 + 18t^2 - 24t. Setting this equal to zero and factoring out a 4t gives us 4t(t^2 + 4.5t - 6) = 0. The roots of this equation are t = 0 and t = -4.5 ± √(4.5^2 + 4(6))/2 ≈ 0.957 and -5.457, but we can ignore the negative root since time cannot be negative. Therefore, the particle comes to rest at t ≈ 0.957 seconds, so the answer is (b) 1.035 sec (rounded to three decimal places).

20. The speed of the particle is given by the absolute value of the velocity, which is v = |4t^3 + 18t^2 - 24t|. Taking the derivative of this E×ρréššion gives us dv/dt = 12t^2 + 36t - 24 = 12(t^2 + 3t - 2). Setting this equal to zero and factoring, we get t = -3 ± √13 and t = 1. Plugging these values into the E×ρréššion for v, we find that the speed is increasing for t > 1, so the answer is (b) t≥ 0.673 sec.

21. The area of a rectangle is given by A = lw, where l and w are the length and width, respectively. In this case, we want to maximize the area of the rectangle inscribed in a right triangle with legs 3 cm and 4 cm. Let x be the length of the rectangle. Then the width is given by y = (4/3)x since the rectangle is similar to the right triangle. The area of the rectangle is A = xy = x(4/3)x = (4/3)x^2. To maximize this E×ρréššion, we take the derivative and set it equal to zero: dA/dx = (8/3)x = 0, which implies x = 0. Therefore, there is no rectangle inscribed in the right triangle, and the area is zero. Therefore, the answer is (a) 3 cm^2.

22. Let the width of the rectangle be w and the height be h. Then the perimeter of the window is given by P = 2w + (π/2)w = (2 + π/2)w. We want to maximize the area of the rectangle, which is given by A = wh. The diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle, so the height of the rectangle is also equal to the radius of the semicircle. Let r be the radius of the semicircle. Then we have the equation P = 2w + πr = 30, and we want to maximize A = wr = w(30/2 - πw/2). Taking the derivative of this E×ρréššion with respect to w and setting it equal to zero, we get 15 - πw = 0, which implies w ≈ 4.774 ft. Therefore, the answer is (d) 4.8 ft (rounded to one decimal place).

23. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. Let x be the distance from the base of the wall to the point where the ladder touches the ground, and let L be the length of the ladder. Then we have the equation x^2 + 10^2 = (x + 8)^2 + L^2, which simplifies to L^2 = 64x - 36. We want to minimize L, so we take the derivative of L^2 with respect to x and set it equal to zero: d(L^2)/dx = 64 = 0, which implies x = 8/5 ft. Substituting this value of x into the equation for L^2, we get L^2 = 64(8/5) - 36 = 70.4, which implies L ≈ 8.4 ft. Therefore, the answer is (a) 8.4 ft (rounded to one decimal place).

24. Let d be the distance from the wall on which the picture is hanging to the point where you stand, and let θ be the angle of vision occupied by the picture. Then we have tan(θ/2) = 1/(d/2 + 1), where 1 is the distance from your eye level to the ground. We want to maximize θ, so we take the derivative of tan(θ/2) with respect to d and set it equal to zero: d/dθ[tan(θ/2)] = 1/2(sec(θ/2))^2 = 0, which implies θ = π. Therefore, we need to solve the equation tan(θ/2) = 1/(d/2 + 1) for d when θ = π. This gives us d = √3, so the answer is (b) √2 m (rounded to one decimal place).

25. Let x be the distance from the 12-foot post to the stake, and let y be the length of the wire running from the stake to the top of the 28-foot post. Then we have the system of equations x^2 + y^2 = (30 - y)^2 and x/y = 12/28 = 3/7. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get x^2 + (7/3)x^2 = (30 - (7/3)x)^2. Simplifying this equation, we get 4x^2 - 252x + 900 = 0. Solving for x using the quadratic formula, we get x = (63 ± 3√221)/2. Since x must be less than 15 (half the distance between the two posts), we take the smaller root, which is x ≈ 7.35 ft (rounded to two decimal places). Therefore, the answer is (a) 7 ft.

26. Let the length and width of the enclosure be L and W, respectively. Then the area of the enclosure is A = LW. We want to maximize this area subject to the constraint that the perimeter of the enclosure is 100 m, which is given by P = 2L + 2W - 2. Solving for L in terms of W using the equation for P, we get L = 51 - W. Substituting this into the equation for A, we get A = W(51 - W) - 2W = -W^2 + 49W. To maximize this E×ρréššion, we take the derivative and set it equal to zero: dA/dW = -2W + 49 = 0, which implies W ≈ 24.5 m. Therefore, the maximum possible area is A ≈ 1300.5 m^2, so the answer is (c) 1300.5 m^2 (rounded to one decimal place).

27. Let the coordinates of the opposite corner of the rectangle be (x, y). Then the area of the rectangle is A = xy. We want to maximize this area subject to the constraint that the opposite corner lies on the line 3x + 2y = 12. Solving for y in terms of x, we get y = (12 - 3x)/2. Substituting this into the equation for A, we get A = x(12 - 3x)/2 = -(3/2)x^2 + 6x. To maximize this E×ρréššion, we take the derivative and set it equal to zero: dA/dx = -3x + 6 = 0, which implies x = 2. Substituting this value of x back into the equation for y, we get y = 3, so the area of the largest rectangle is A = 6, and the answer is (b) 3.

28. The equation of the ellipse can be written in standard form as (x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2/9 = 1. Let the sides of the inscribed rectangle be 2x and 2y. Then the area of the rectangle is A = 4xy. We want to maximize this area subject to the constraint that the rectangle is inscribed in the ellipse. We can use Lagrange multipliers to solve this problem. Let f(x,y) = 4xy and g(x,y) = (x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2/9 - 1. Then we want to find the maximum of f subject to the constraint g = 0. The Lagrangian is L(x,y,λ) = f(x,y) - λg(x,y) = 4xy - λ[(x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2/9 - 1]. Taking the partial derivatives of L with respect to x, y, and λ and setting them equal to zero, we get the system of equations 2y = λ(x - 2)/2 and 2x = λ(y + 1)/3 and (x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2/9 - 1 = 0. Solving for λ in terms of x and y and substituting into the first two equations, we get y = (3/4)x - 3/2 and x = (8/5)y - 8/5. Substituting these into the equation for g and simplifying, we get 89x^2 - 336x + 256 = 0. Solving for x using the quadratic formula, we get x = 16/89 or x = 4. Therefore, the maximum area of the rectangle is A = 4xy = 64/89, and the answer is (d) 13 (rounded to the nearest integer).

29. Let the height of the cylinder be h and the radius be r. Then the volume of the cylinder is V = πr^2h = 355 cm^3. We want to minimize the cost of metal, which is proportional to the surface area of the cylinder. The surface area of the cylinder is given by A = 2πrh + πr^2. The cost of metal is proportional to A, but the height of the cylinder must be greater than or equal to the radius (otherwise there is no open top), so we can write h = r + k, where k is a constant. Substituting this into the E×ρréššion for A and using the equation for the volume of the cylinder, we get A = 2πr(r +

29. Let the cylinder have radius $r$ and height $h$. The cost of the metal is proportional to the surface area of the cylinder, which is $2\pi rh+\pi r^2$. Since the volume is fixed, $355 = \pi r^2h$. Solving for $h$, we get $h = \frac{355}{\pi r^2}$. Substituting into the E×ρréššion for surface area, we get $2\pi r\left(\frac{355}{\pi r^2}\right) + \pi r^2 = \frac{710}{r} + \pi r^2$. To minimize this E×ρréššion, we find the critical points by taking the derivative and setting it equal to 0: $\frac{d}{dr}\left(\frac{710}{r}+\pi r^2\right) = -\frac{710}{r^2} + 2\pi r = 0$. Solving for $r$, we get $r = \sqrt{\frac{355}{\pi}} \approx 6.02$. Substituting back into the E×ρréššion for $h$, we get $h \approx 4.83$. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(c) } 4.83 \text{ cm}}$.

30. Let the cone have radius $r$ and height $h$, and let the sphere have radius $R$. The volume of the cone is $\frac{\pi}{3}r^2h$, and we want to minimize this subject to the constraint that the sphere has volume $\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = 288$. Solving for $R$, we get $R = \sqrt[3]{\frac{27 \cdot 288}{4\pi}} \approx 10.02$. We then observe that the cone must be tangent to the sphere at the center of the sphere. Drawing a cross-section of the figure, we see that the cone is similar to the sphere with ratio of similarity $\frac{r}{R}$. Therefore, we have $\frac{r}{R} = \frac{h}{2R}$, or $h = 2r$. We can now eliminate $h$ from the E×ρréššion for the volume of the cone: the volume is $\frac{\pi}{3}r^2(2r) = \frac{2\pi}{3}r^3$. Taking the derivative and setting it equal to 0, we get $\frac{d}{dr}\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}r^3\right) = 2\pi r^2 = 0$, so $r = 0$ or $r$ is undefined. Since $r>0$, there is no minimum volume. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(a) } 18 \text{ m}}$.

31. The word "MATHEMATICS" has 11 letters, so there are 11 choices for the first letter, 10 choices for the second letter (since we've used up one letter), 9 choices for the third letter, and so on until there are 2 choices for the second-to-last letter and 1 choice for the last letter. Therefore, the answer is $11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9 \cdots 2 \cdot 1 = \boxed{\textbf{(d) } 4,744,234}$.

32. Treat the group of boys as a single entity and the group of girls as a single entity. Then there are 2 entities to arrange in a row, and there are $3!$ ways to arrange the boys within their entity and $3!$ ways to arrange the girls within their entity. Therefore, the answer is $2 \cdot 3! \cdot 3! = \boxed{\textbf{(a) } 72}$.

33. Treat the group of girls as a single entity. There are 2 entities to arrange in a row, and there are $3!$ ways to arrange the girls within their entity. Within the other entity, there are 4 spots to place the group of girls, and there are $3!$ ways to arrange the boys within their entity. Therefore, the answer is $4 \cdot 3! \cdot 3! = \boxed{\textbf{(c) } 180}$.

34. For each friend, there are 2 choices: to invite or not to invite. Therefore, the total number of ways is $2^5 - 1 = \boxed{\textbf{(b) } 31}$ (we subtract 1 because we don't want to count the case where no one is invited).

35. There are 14 choices for the chairperson. After the chairperson is chosen, there are 13 choices for the vice chairperson. Finally, there are 12 choices for the college representative. Therefore, the total number of ways is $14 \cdot 13 \cdot 12 = \boxed{\textbf{(a) } 5298}$.

36. There are 7 choices for the first digit, 6 choices for the second digit (since we've used up one digit), and 5 choices for the third digit. Therefore, the total number of ways is $7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5 = \boxed{\textbf{(a) } 210}$.

37. The hundreds digit must be 4, 5, or 6. If it's 4, there are 3 choices for the hundreds digit, and there are $6 \cdot 5$ choices for the tens and units digit (since we've used up one digit). Similarly, if it's 5 or 6, there are $5 \cdot 4$ and $4 \cdot 3$ choices, respectively. Therefore, the total number of ways is $3 \cdot 6 \cdot 5 + 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 + 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 = \boxed{\textbf{(d) } 130}$.

38. For each of the 5 questions, there are 4 choices. Therefore, the total number of ways is $4^5 = \boxed{\textbf{(b) } 1024}$.

39. For each of the 5 questions, there are 3 incorrect choices. Therefore, the total number of ways is $3^5 = \boxed{\textbf{(c) } 243}$.

40. There are $\binom{8}{4} = 70$ ways to choose the positions of the blue boxes and the red boxes. Within the blue boxes, there is only 1 distinct arrangement, and within the red boxes, there are $3!$ distinct arrangements. Therefore, the total number of ways is $70 \cdot 1 \cdot 3! = \boxed{\textbf{(c) } 260}$.

41. There are $\binom{42}{6}$ ways to choose 6 numbers out of 42. Therefore, the probability of winning with one ticket is $\frac{1}{\binom{42}{6}} \approx \boxed{\textbf{(a) } 1.906 \cdot 10^{-7}}$.

42. The sample space for rolling a pair of dice consists of 36 equally likely outcomes. The pairs of dice that result in a sum of 9 are (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), and (6,3), which gives a total of 4 successful outcomes. Therefore, the probability of rolling a sum of 9 is 4/36 or 1/9. Answer: a. 1/9

43. To find the probability of at least one head occurring in two tosses, we can calculate the probability of getting no heads and subtract it from 1. The probability of getting no heads in two tosses is (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one head is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 or 0.75. Answer: b. 4/5

44. Let A be the event that the doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis, and let B be the event that the patient sues. Then the probability that the doctor makes an incorrect diagnosis and the patient sues can be calculated using the formula P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B|A). We are given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B|A) = 0.9. Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.3 x 0.9 = 0.27. Answer: a. 0.27

45. The probability of drawing a green ball on the first draw is 5/12. Since one ball has been removed, the probability of drawing a red ball on the second draw is 7/11. Therefore, the probability of drawing a green ball on the first draw and a red ball on the second draw is (5/12) x (7/11) = 35/132. Answer: b. 35/132

46. The expected value of purchasing one raffle ticket is equal to the sum of the possible outcomes multiplied by their probabilities. In this case, the possible outcomes are winning P100 with probability 1/100 and losing P5 with probability 99/100. Therefore, the expected value is (1/100) x 100 - (99/100) x 5 = -4.95 or approximately -5. Answer: a. -5

47. Let A be the event that a person has blue eyes, and let B be the event that a person has blonde hair. We are given P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.4, and P(A and B) = 0.14. We want to find P(B|A), the probability that a person has blonde hair given that they have blue eyes. Using Bayes' theorem, we can calculate this as P(B|A) = P(A and B) / P(A) = 0.14 / 0.25 = 0.56. Answer: a. 0.56

48. We want to find P(A|B), the probability that a person has blue eyes given that they have blonde hair. Using Bayes' theorem again, we can calculate this as P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B) = 0.14 / 0.4 = 0.35. Answer: d. 0.35

49. There are 16 cards that are either diamonds or jacks in a standard deck of 52 cards. To find the probability of drawing a diamond or a jack, we add the probability of drawing a diamond to the probability of drawing a jack and subtract the probability of drawing both (since we don't want to count these twice). The probability of drawing a diamond is 13/52, the probability of drawing a jack is 4/52, and the probability of drawing both is 1/52. Therefore, the probability of drawing a diamond or a jack is (13/52) + (4/52) - (1/52) = 4/13. Answer: c. 4/13

50. There are four possible outcomes when a family has two children: BB, BG, GB, and GG (where B represents a boy and G represents a girl). We are given that one of the children is a boy, which eliminates the GG outcome. Therefore, the remaining three outcomes are equally likely, and only one of them (BB) has two boys. Therefore, the probability that the other child is also a boy is 1/3. Answer: b. 1/3

51. The probability of rolling a six on one die is 1/6, and the probability of not rolling a six is 5/6. Therefore, the probability of rolling at least one six in five rolls is equal to 1 - (5/6)^5, which is approximately 0.67. Answer: c. 0.67

52. When rolling a die three times, there are 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 equally likely outcomes. To find the probability of getting exactly two sixes, we can use the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 1/6. The probability of getting two successes (sixes) and one failure (not a six) in any order is given by the binomial coefficient C(3,2) = 3. Therefore, the probability of getting exactly two sixes is 3 x (1/6)^2 x (5/6) = 5/72. Answer: a. 0.116

53. The average rate of occurrence of storms is twice per month, which means that the probability of a storm occurring on any given day is 2/30 or 1/15. Therefore, the probability of no storms occurring in a month (which has 30 or 31 days) is (14/15)^(30 or 31), depending on the month. This is approximately 0.025 for a 30-day month and 0.023 for a 31-day month. Answer: a. 0.555

54. To find the percentage of observations greater than 5 in a normal distribution with mean 8 and standard deviation 2, we can standardize the value x = 5 using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. This gives z = (5 - 8) / 2 = -1.5. Using a standard normal distribution table, we find that the percentage of observations to the right of z = -1.5 is approximately 0.9332 or 93.32%. Answer: a. 93.32%

55. To find the percentage of observations greater than 10, we can standardize the value x = 10 as before, giving z = (10 - 8) / 2 = 1. Using a standard normal distribution table, we find that the percentage of observations to the right of z = 1 is approximately 0.1587 or 15.87%. Answer: b. 15.87%

56. To find the percentage of observations less than 3, we can standardize the value x = 3 as before, giving z = (3 - 8) / 2 = -2.5. Using a standard normal distribution table, we find that the percentage of observations to the left of z = -2.5 is approximately 0.00621 or 0.621%. Answer: c. 0.621%

57. This is a binomial distribution problem with n=6 and p=0.8. The probability that the 4th person to share the article is the 6th person to see it can be calculated as follows:

P(4th person to share | 6 people see) = (5 choose 3) * (0.8)^3 * (1-0.8)^2 = 0.165

Therefore, the answer is (b) 0.165.

58. Let p be the probability of getting heads in a single throw. Then, the probability of getting tails in one throw is 1-p, and the probability of getting two heads in two successive throws is p^2. The problem tells us that these probabilities are equal, so we can set up the following equation:

p^2 = 1-p

Solving for p, we get:

p = (sqrt(5) - 1) / 2

Therefore, the answer is (a) 0.688.

59. This is a binomial distribution problem with n=5, p=0.05, and we want to find the probability of getting at least one defective iPhone in the sample. We can use the complement rule and calculate the probability of getting no defective iPhones:

P(no defective iPhone) = (95 choose 5) * (0.95)^5 / (100 choose 5) ≈ 0.734

Then, the probability of getting at least one defective iPhone is:

P(at least one defective iPhone) = 1 - P(no defective iPhone) ≈ 0.266

Therefore, the answer is (b) 0.267.

60. The formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution is:

σ = sqrt(np(1-p))

Plugging in n=60 and p=0.26, we get:

σ = sqrt(60*0.26*0.74) ≈ 3.674

Therefore, the answer is (b) 3.674.

61. We can simplify the given equation by using the identity sin^2(t) + cos^2(t) = 1:

r^2(4sin^2(8) + 9cos^2(0)) = 36
r^2(4sin^2(8) + 9) = 36
r^2 = 36 / (4sin^2(8) + 9)

This is the equation of an ellipse with semi-axes a=3 and b=2 (after some algebraic manipulation). The area of an ellipse is given by the formula A=πab, so we can calculate the area as:

A = πab = 6π

Therefore, the answer is (a) 6π.

62. To find the length of the curve r=f(θ), we use the formula:

L = ∫(θ2,θ1) sqrt[r^2 + (dr/dθ)^2] dθ

In this case, we have:

r^2 = 36 / (4sin^2(8) + 9)
dr/dθ = 0 (since there is no θ in the equation)

Plugging these into the formula, we get:

L = ∫(0,2π) sqrt[36/(4sin^2(θ) + 9)] dθ ≈ 16.02

Therefore, the answer is (a) 16.02.

63. The eccentricity of an ellipse is given by the formula:

e = sqrt(1 - (b/a)^2)

In this case, we have a=3 and b=2, so:

e = sqrt(1 - (2/3)^2) ≈ 0.720

Therefore, the answer is (a) 0.720.

64. The subnormal of a curve is the line perpendicular to the tangent line at a given point, passing through the point of tangency. In this case, the curve is y = 2x^2 + 1, and the given point is (1,3). We can find the equation of the tangent line by taking the derivative and evaluating at x=1:

y' = 4x
y'(1) = 4
tangent line: y = 4x - 1

The subnormal passes through (1,3) and is perpendicular to the tangent line, so its slope is -1/4. Therefore, the equation of the subnormal is:

y - 3 = (-1/4)(x - 1)
y = (-1/4)x + 13/4

To find the length of the subnormal, we can use the distance formula between the point of tangency (1,3) and the intersection point of the subnormal and the x-axis:

d = sqrt[(1 - (-13/4))^2 + (3 - 0)^2] ≈ 3.398

Therefore, the answer is (d) 3.398.

65. We can eliminate the parameter t by squaring both equations and adding them:

x^2 + y^2 = 1
y = cos(2t) - 1

x^2 + (cos(2t) - 1)^2 = 1
x^2 + cos^2(2t) - 2cos(2t) + 1 = 1
x^2 + cos^2(2t) - 2cos(2t) = 0
x^2 + (cos(2t) - 1)^2 = 1 - sin^2(2t)
x^2 = sin^2(2t)

Taking the square root and substituting y, we get:

x = ±sin(t)
y = cos(2t) - 1

Squaring x and y and adding them back, we can verify that this is indeed equivalent to the given parametric equation. Therefore, the equivalent Cartesian equation is:

y = -2x^2

Therefore, the answer is (c) y = -2x^2.

66. We can use the chain rule and product rule to find the derivative of the given function:

y = 2sin^2(x) + cos(2x)
y' = 4sin(x)cos(x) - 2sin(2x)

Therefore, the answer is (c) 0.

67. We can use the chain rule and the power rule to find the derivative of the given function:

y = 5^(3x)
y' = ln(5) * 3 * 5^(3x)

Therefore, the answer is (b) 3x*ln(5^(3x)).

68. We can use the chain rule and the exponent rule to find the derivative of the given function:

y = x^x
y' = x^x * (1 + ln(x))

Therefore, the answer is (d) x^(ln(x-1)).

69. When the curve crosses the x-axis, y=0. Therefore, we can solve for x:

x^3 + 3x + 14 = 0

Unfortunately, this polynomial does not factor easily. We can use numerical methods, such as Newton's method, to approximate the solution. Alternatively, we can use the rational root theorem to test a few possible rational roots:

±1, ±2, ±7, ±14

We can find that -2 is a root, so we can factor the polynomial as:

(x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 7)

The curve crosses the x-axis at x=-2, so the slope of the curve at that point is:

y'(-2) = 3(-2)^2 + 3 = 15

Therefore, the answer is (d) 15.

70. We can use the product rule to find the derivative of y=sin(x)cos(x):

y' = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)

At x=π/6, we have:

y' = cos^2(π/6) - sin^2(π/6) = 3/4 - 1/4 = 1/2

The equation of the tangent line can then be found using the point-slope form:

y - sin(π/6)cos(π/6) = (1/2)(x - π/6)
y = 0.5x + π/12 - √3/4

Therefore, the answer is (a) y = 0.5x + π/12 - √3/4.

71. The force acting on the piston is given by F = P*A, where P is the pressure and A is the cross-sectional area of the piston. Since the piston is at rest, the force due to the outside pressure (100 kPa) must be balanced by the force due to the water pressure. Therefore, we have:

P_water * A = P_outside * A
P_water = P_outside = 100 kPa

Therefore, the answer is (a) 198 kPa.

72. The pressure of the water in the vessel can be found using the ideal gas law, assuming that the water is in the form of steam:

P * V = m * R * T
P = m * R * T / V

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, m is the mass of water, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. At 100°C, the temperature is 373 K, and the mass of water is 2 kg. Therefore:

P = 2 * 8.31 * 373 / 1 = 618.86 kPa

To find the pressure required for a maximum temperature of 200°C, we can use the same equation with the new temperature:

P = 2 * 8.31 * 473 / 1 = 781.46 kPa

Therefore, the safety pressure valve should be adjusted to 781.46 kPa, which is closest to (c) 413.3 kPa.

73. The pressure at a depth of h meters is given by:

P = P0 + ρgh

where P0 is the atmospheric pressure, ρ is the density of the water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth. At a depth of 8 meters, the pressure gauge reads 60 kPa. Therefore:

60 kPa = P0 + 1000 kg/m3 * 9.81 m/s2 * 8 m
P0 = 20.944 kPa

To find the depth at which the gauge pressure will be 0, we set P equal to 0 and solve for h:

0 = 20.944 kPa + 1000 kg/m3 * 9.81 m/s2 * h
h = 2.129 meters

Therefore, the answer is (d) 44.118 m.

74. The standard thermometric substance is a substance that has a well-defined and reproducible temperature at a particular pressure, and can be used as a reference in temperature measurement. The most commonly used standard substance is pure water at its triple point, which is the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases can coexist in equilibrium. Therefore, the answer is (c) solid.

75. Shafts use rotational motion to do work. The torque applied to the shaft causes it to rotate, and this rotation can be used to transmit power and do work. Therefore, the answer is (b) rotational.

76. According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system:

ΔU = Q - W

where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system. In this case, the heat added to the kitchen is:

Q = -8000 kJ

since heat is being rejected by the condenser coil. The work done by the refrigerator is:

W = -2 kW * 30 min = -60 kJ

since the motor is supplying energy to the refrigerator. Therefore, the change in internal energy of the kitchen is:

ΔU = -8000 kJ - (-60 kJ) = -7940 kJ

which is closest to (a) 4600 kJ.

77. The power (P) delivered by the engine is given by:

P = τ * ω

where τ is the torque on the shaft and ω is the angular velocity in radians per second. The torque can be found using the formula:

P = 1200 hp * 746 W/hp = 895200 W
ω = 2000 RPM * 2π / 60 = 209.44 rad/s

Therefore:

τ = P / ω = 895200 W / 209.44 rad/s = 4271.6 Nm

which is closest to (a) 4214 Nm.

78. The force (F) required to move the car up the hill can be found using:

F = m * g * sinθ

where m is the mass of the car, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the angle of the hill. The power delivered by the engine is:

P = F * v

where v is the velocity of the car. Therefore:

F = P / v = 1200 hp * 746 W/hp / (100 km/h * 1000 m/km * 3600 s/h) = 33.33 kN

which is closest to (c) 11.8 kN.

79. The work done on the rod is:

W = F * d = P * A * d

where F is the force on the rod, d is the distance it moves, P is the air pressure, and A is the cross-sectional area of the cylinder. The maximum distance the rod can move is 0.5 m, so:

W = 2.5 kJ = P * 0.01 m2 * 0.5 m
P = 5000 kPa

Therefore, the diameter of the cylinder is:

A = π/4 * d2
0.01 m2 = π/4 * d2
d = 0.112 m

The diameter is twice the radius, so:

D = 2 * d = 0.224 m

which is closest to (b) 0.311 m.

80. The power (P) delivered by the force is:

P = F * v

where F is the force and v is the velocity. The velocity in meters per second is:

v = 60 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 16.67 m/s

Therefore:

P = 1.2 kN * 16.67 m/s = 20 kW

which is closest to (a) 20 kW.

81. The area (A) of a triangle with vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) can be found using the formula:

A = 1/2 * |x1*(y2-y3) + x2*(y3-y1) + x3*(y1-y2)|

Plugging in the values, we get:

A = 1/2 * |3*(1-(-6)) + (-2)(-6-4) + 5(4-1)|
A = 1/2 * |21 + 12 + 15|
A = 24

Therefore, the answer is (c) 40.

83. We can use the midpoint formula to find the point that is halfway between (-1, 3) and (4, -2), which is ((-1+4)/2, (3-2)/2) = (3/2, 1/2). We can then use the same formula to find the point that is 3/8 of the way from (-1, 3) to (4, -2), which is ((1-(-3/2))*3/8+(-1), (1-1/2)*3/8+3/2) = (7/8, 9/8).
Answer: b. (7/8, 9/8)

84. The radical center of three circles is the point where their pairwise radical axes intersect. To find the radical center of these circles, we need to find the pairwise radical axes and solve for their intersection point. The pairwise radical axes are the lines that are perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the two circles and pass through their intersection points.

The first two circles have equations (x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=1 and (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=1. The line connecting their centers is the line passing through (2,-1) and (-1,1), which has slope (1-(-1))/(2-(-1))=2/3. The perpendicular bisector of this line passes through the midpoint ((2+(-1))/2,(-1+1)/2)=(1/2,0) and has equation y=2/3(x-1/2). Solving for the intersection points of this line with the two circles gives (8/7,8/9) and (5,6).

The second and third circles have equations (x-2)^2+(y+1)^2=1 and (x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=4. The line connecting their centers is the line passing through (2,-1) and (3,-2), which has slope (-2-(-1))/(3-2)=-1. The perpendicular bisector of this line passes through the midpoint ((2+3)/2,(-1-2)/2)=(5/2,-3/2) and has equation y=1(x-5/2)-3/2=x-2. Solving for the intersection points of this line with the two circles gives (2,-1) and (5,0).

The first and third circles have equations (x+1)^2+(y-1)^2=1 and (x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=4. The line connecting their centers is the line passing through (-1,1) and (-3/2,-1), which has slope (-1-1)/(3/2-(-1))=-2/5. The perpendicular bisector of this line passes through the midpoint ((-1-3/2)/2,(1-(-1))/2)=(-5/4,0) and has equation y=5/2(x+5/4)+0=5/2(x+5/4). Solving for the intersection points of this line with the two circles gives (2,-1) and (-7/4,3/4).

The intersection point of the pairwise radical axes is (2,-1).
Answer: b. (2,-1)

85. We can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the line passing through the points (2,4) and (5,8). The slope of the line is (8-4)/(5-2)=4/3. Letting y=mx+b be the equation of the line, we have that 4=2m+b and 8=5m+b. Solving for m and b gives m=4/3 and b=-2/3. Thus, the equation of the line is y=4/3x-2/3.
Answer: b. 4x-3y+4=0

86. We can complete the square to rewrite the equation of the circle in standard form, which is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. The given equation can be rewritten as (x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=36. The center of the circle is (3,4).

The distance between a point (x,y) and the y-axis is the absolute value of x. Therefore, the distance between the center of the circle and the y-axis is |3| = 3.
Answer: c. 3

87. The center of the circle lies on the line 4x-y=7, so it has the form x = (y+7)/4. Since the circle passes through (-2, 4), we can substitute these values into the equation for the circle to obtain:

(-2 - (y+7)/4)^2 + (4-y)^2 + 49/16 - 7/2(y+7)/4 = 0

Simplifying this equation, we get:

25y^2 + 70y + 137 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find that the solutions are y = (-7 ± sqrt(1161))/10. Substituting these into the equation for x, we find that the center of the circle is (5,6) or (1,2). We can then use the distance formula to check that the radius of the circle is 5, and we can use the center and radius to write the equation of the circle. Plugging in (5,5) and (1,2) into the equation of the circle, we find that only option c is satisfied.

Therefore, the equation of the circle is (x-6)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25.
Answer: c. (x-6)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25

88. The acute angle between two lines with slopes m1 and m2 is given by the formula tan(theta) = |(m2-m1)/(1+m1m2)|.

The first line, 4x-y+3=0, has slope m1=4. The second line, 2x-5y-1=0, has slope m2=2/5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

tan(theta) = |(2/5-4)/(1+4(2/5))| = |-14/21| = 2/3

Taking the arctangent of both sides, we find that the acute angle is approximately 33.69 degrees.
Answer: not listed.

89. The line having the given parametric equations has slope 4/3. A line perpendicular to this line has slope -3/4.

Using point-slope form, the equation of the line passing through (2,-3) with slope -3/4 is y+3 = (-3/4)(x-2), which simplifies to y = (-3/4)x+3/2.

Answer: a. y = -0.55x-2.1

90. The center of the circle lies on both axes, so it has the form (h,k) = (a,a) for some value a. Since the circle contains the point (-8,-1), we have:

(a+8)^2 + (a+1)^2 = a^2

Expanding both sides and simplifying, we get:

a^2 + 18a + 65 = 0

Solving for a using the quadratic formula, we get a = -13 or a = -5. Only a = -5 results in tangent circles passing through (-8,-1). Therefore, the two circles are:

(x+5)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 5^2 and (x+13)^2 + (y+13)^2 = 2^2

Answer: b. (x+5)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 25 and (x+18)^2 + (y+19)^2 = 144

91. The latus rectum of a parabola is a line segment perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and passing through the focus. The distance between the focus and the directrix is equal to the length of the latus rectum.

To find the focus and directrix of the given parabola, we can rewrite it in vertex form as (x-1)^2 = 4(y-1/2). The vertex of the parabola is (1,1/2) and its axis of symmetry is the line x=1. The distance between the vertex and the focus is 1/4, which is also the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

Therefore, the length of the latus rectum is 2(1/4) = 1/2.
Answer: a. 4

92. The standard form of the equation of a parabola with vertex (h,k) and focus (h+p,k) is (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k).

The vertex of the given parabola is (2,4) and its focus is (4,4), which means that p=2. Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:

(x-2)^2 = 8(y-4)

Answer: a. (y-4)^2 = 8(x-2)

93. The maximum distance of an elliptical orbit from the sun is the sum of the distance to the closest point (0.587 AU) and the distance between the closest and farthest points, which is equal to the eccentricity times the distance to the closest point. Therefore, the maximum distance is:

0.587 + 0.967(0.587) = 1.156 AU

Rounding to the nearest 0.1 AU gives 1.2 AU.
Answer: not listed.

94. The eccentricity of an ellipse is equal to the distance between its foci divided by the length of its major axis. Since the major axis of the given ellipse is equal to the sum of its apogee and perigee, which is 2860 miles, we have:
