A building casts a shadow that is 55 feet long. At the same time, a woman standing nearby who is 5 feet 3 inches tall casts a shadow that is 45 inches long. How tall is the building to the nearest foot?

Answer:

  a)  21, 34.5, 54.75, 85.125

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the answer choices differ in the first term, so that is the only one you need to figure here. However, we will do them all, so you can see it done.

We note that x > 0 for all of the values of x that we need to use. That means the recursive relation is the one we're using for computation.

f(1) = 3/2·f(0) +3 = (3/2)(12) + 3 = 18 +3 = 21 . . . . . . matches choice (a)

f(2) = 3/2·f(1) +3 = (3/2)(21) +3 = 63/2 +3 = 69/2 = 34.5

f(3) = 3/2·f(2) +3 = (3/2)(34.5) +3 = 51.75 +3 = 54.75

f(4) = 3/2·f(3) +3 = (3/2)(54.75) +3 = 82.125 +3 = 85.125

When you're computing for sequential input values, each depends on the previous value you computed.

Answer:

1. FH, 2. GH,  3.IH  4. GI,  5. FG

Step-by-step explanation:

According to a certain geometric theorem, the smallest angle is always opposite to the smallest side of a triangle. Likewise, the largest angle is always opposite to the largest side. Using this theorem we can properly order the angles and sides.

Additionally, the interior degrees of a triangle will always be 180, and the interior of this quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Using this we can determine the missing angles.

180 - 75 - 55 = 50 (first missing angle)

180 - 59 - 63 = 58 (second missing angle)

The smallest angle would be 50 degrees and the largest 75.

The second smallest is 55 degrees, the third smallest is 58 degrees, the fourth smallest is 59 degrees, and the fifth is 63 degrees.

Now, one thing that seems a bit confusing is the fact that GH is opposite to 2 different angles, so how do we know WHICH angle to use to find its length. From what I understand, we should be able to find the average of the two angles across from this side to see what its place would be in terms of length.

63 + 50 = 56.5

This would make side  GH larger than FH but less than HI

This is how I would solve the problem, and I think this is the correct order. Please let me know whether it turns out right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line that goes through (18, 3) and (x, y) is

So

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's replace Ram with r and Sudha with s.

(r = 3s) + 3 = (r = 2s)

(r = 2x) = ( r = 3s - 3)

3s - 3 = 2x

3s - 1x = 2x

s = 3

If r = 3s and s = 3, then r = 3 x 3 = 9.

Ram is 9 years old and Sudha is 3 years old.

Answer:

age of ram = 9 years

and the age of sudha is 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age of ram be x

and his sister sudha's present age be y

Ram is three times as old as his sister Sudha

so, x = 3y ----i)

After three years, he will be twice as old as Sudha.

so , x+3 =(y+3)2

=> x+3 = 2y+6 ----ii)

now putting the value of x in equation ii)

=> 3y+3 = 2y+6

=> 3y-2y = 6-3

=> y = 3 { the present age of sudha is 3 year}

now the age of ram = x = 3y

=> x = 3(3)

=> x = 9

Answer:

The surface area of a rectangular box is the sum of the areas of the flat rectangular faces of the box. The height is the vertical side of the box.  So the other sides are the length and width.  Try to picture a box in your head, or you can draw it on paper.

Let x = length

Let y = width

Let h = height

Using these variables, we can write an equation that represents the surface formula.

A = 2(area of bottom face) + 2(area of front face) + 2(area of side face)

A = 2xy + 2xh + 2yh

This is general equation for surface area.  All we need to do is plug in the known values into it and solve for h.

496 = 2(18)(8) + 2(18)h + 2(8)h

496 = 288 + 36h + 16h

Now it comes down to simple algebra.  Isolate the h terms and solve for h from there.

208 = 52h

Divide both sides of the equation by 52 to get your height.  I let you finish up here.

125,000 tons of garbage per landfill

Step-by-step explanation:

250 million total tons of garbage was sent to 2,000 landfills. Since it is assumed each landfill gets an equal amount of garbage, we can easily divide.

250,000,000 / 2,000 = 125,000 tons of garbage per landfill

henceforth, each landfill received 125,000 tons of garbage

Answer:

 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

Then the given ratio is ..

21 feet : 10 yards = 7 yards : 10 yards = 7 : 10

As a fraction, the ratio is 7/10.

The marginal cost that can be deduced from the information given about the company is 40e^-t.

Marginal cost simply means the change in production cost due to an additional unit produced.

From the complete question, the cost function is given as 60 - 40e^-t. Therefore, the marginal cost will be:

C'(t) = d/dt (60 - 40e^-t)

= d/dt (60) - 40 d/dt (etc)

= 0 - 40(-1)e^-t

= 40 e^-t.

Answer: The new number is 1.44% smaller than the original.

=========================================================

Explanation:

To increase by 12%, we involve the multiplier 1.12

Think of 1.12 as 100% + 12% = 1 + 0.12 = 1.12

We go from x to 1.12x

To decrease by 12%, we will use the multiplier 0.88 because 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

Think of it like a discount. If you save 12%, then you pay the remaining 88%

So 0.88*1.12x = 0.9856x

The value 0.9856 is smaller than 1, meaning that overall we have a net discount going on.

The discount rate is 1 - 0.9856 = 0.0144 = 1.44%

In other words, x ultimately goes down by exactly 1.44%

----------------

If you want to use an actual number to see an example, let's go for x = 100

Increasing 100 by 12% means we increase by 0.12*100 = 12

We go from 100 to 112

Then decreasing by 12% means the value goes down by 0.12*112 = 13.44 and drops to 112-13.44 = 98.56

The original value 100 becomes the final value 98.56

This is a percent decrease of (100-98.56)/100 = 0.0144 = 1.44%
