Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A building is of unknown height. At a distance of 400 feet away from the building .

An observer notices that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 35º and that the angle of elevation to a poster on the side of the building is 15º .

To Find :

How far is the poster from the roof of the building .

Solution :

Height is given by :

[tex]h=d\times tan\theta[/tex]

( Here , [tex]\theta[/tex] is angle of elevation )

So , height of tower :

[tex]H=400\times tan 35^o\\\\H=280.08 \ feet[/tex]

For height of poster :

[tex]h=400\times tan 15^o\\\\h= 107.18\ feet[/tex]

Therefore , distance of poster from the roof of the building is :

[tex]( 280.08-107.18) = $$172.9\ feet[/tex]

Hence , this is the required solution .

a carpenter has a wooden dowel that is 96 cm long. she wants to cut it into two pieces so that one piece is 5 times as long as the other. what is the length of the longer piece? ​

Answers

Answer:

30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem (word problem), we are examined on how to express equations from words.

let us initialize some variables

let the length of the first piece (the short piece) be x

and that of the second(the longer piece) be 5x

given that the total length is 96 cm

Also from the problem statement, the total length can be expressed as

5x+x= 96

6x= 96

divide both sides by 6 to solve for x

x= 96/6

x= 16

now the longer side = 5x

        the longer side= 5*6

       the longer side = 30 cm

Find the measure of the indicated angle

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m\angle A = 98[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a triangle all it's interior angles sum up to 180°

The triangle is isosceles which means two of it's angles are equal

From the question

[tex]m\angle B = m\angle C = 41 \degree[/tex]

So to find [tex]m \angle A[/tex] add up all the angles and equate it to 180° and solve for A

That's

[tex]m\angle A + m\angle B + m\angle \: C = 180 \\ m\angle A = 180 -m\angle B - m\angle \: C \\ m\angle A = 180 - 41 - 41 \\ = 180 - 82[/tex]

We have the final answer as

[tex]m\angle A = 98[/tex]

Pete’s Painting Company will charge a one-time fee of $60 for labor and $20 for each room painted. Carla’s Creative Colors will charge $40 a room but only $20 to hire workers. Write a function rule for Pete’s Painting Company in function notation. Write a function rule for Carla’s Creative Colors in function notation.

Answers

Answer:

Pete's: [tex]f(x) = 20x + 60[/tex]

Carla's: [tex]f(x) = 40x + 20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that [tex]x[/tex] is the amount of rooms painted, and [tex]f(x)[/tex]

For Pete's Painting Company, they charge a flat fee of $60, so we will have a constant of 60.

They also charge 20$ per room, meaning that we will multiply 20 by [tex]x[/tex], the amount of rooms painted.

This gets us the function [tex]f(x) = 20x + 60[/tex]

For Carla's Creative Colors, they charge 20$ to hire the workers, meaning this will be our constant.

They also charge $40 a room, meaning we will multiply 40 by [tex]x[/tex], the amount of rooms painted.

So the function is  [tex]f(x) = 40x + 20[/tex].

Q:Resolve this into partial fraction.
9/(X-1)(X+2)^2

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{x-1}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{x+2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3}{(x+2)^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing as a partial fraction

[tex]\frac{9}{(x-1)(x+2)^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{A}{(x-1)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{B}{(x+2)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{C}{(x+2)^2}[/tex] ( A, B, C are numerical values to be found )

Multiply both sides by (x - 1)(x + 2)²

9 = A(x + 2)² + B(x - 1)(x + 2) + C(x - 1)

Choose value for x that are zeros of the factors and substitute into right side

x = - 2 : 9 = - 3C ⇒ C = - 3

x = 1 : 9 = 9A ⇒ A = 1

x = 0 : 9 = 4A - 2B - C , that is

9 = 4 - 2B + 3 = - 2B + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

2 = - 2B ⇒ B = - 1, then

A = 1, B = - 1, C = - 3

Thus

[tex]\frac{9}{(x-1)(x+2)^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{x-1}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{x+2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3}{(x+2)^2}[/tex]

if the sides of a triangle are produced in order prove that the sum ofexterior angles so formed is equal to four right angles

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, c be the measures of the interior angles and x, y, z be the measures of the exterior angles of the triangle. Where x and adjacent to a, y is adjacent to b and z is adjacent to c.

By interior angle sum postulate of a triangle:

a + b + c = 180°... (1)

Therefore, by remote interior angle theorem:

x = b + c.... (2)

y = a + c..... (3)

z = a + b.... (4)

Adding equations (2), (3) & (4)

x + y + z = b + c + a + c + a + b

x + y + z = 2a + 2b + 2c

x + y + z = 2(a + b + c)... (5)

From equations (1) & (5)

[tex]x + y + z = 2 \times 180 \degree \\ x + y + z = 360 \degree \\ x + y + z = 4 \times 90\degree \\ x + y + z = 4 \: right \: angles[/tex]

Thus, the sum of exterior angles so formed is equal to four right angles.

Answer: 9^-16

Step-by-step explanation:

If an exponents have the same base and are  being multiplied together, all you do is just add the exponents and make the base stay the same

9[tex]9^{-53} * 9^{37} = 9^{-16}[/tex]

Negative exponents can be rewritten as positive exponents if you put them in the denominator.

[tex]x^{-a}=\frac{1}{x^a}[/tex]

Using this rule, we can rewrite the equation.

[tex]9^{-53}*9^{37}=\frac{1}{9^{53}}*9^{37}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9^{37}}{9^{53}}[/tex]

Then, we can use exponent division rules.

[tex]\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9^{37}}{9^{53}}=9^{37-53}[/tex]

[tex]9^{-16}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{9^{16}}[/tex]

2) Now combine like term on each side of the equal sign. You will get 8x-14=4+2x

3) Move the 14 to the right side of the equation making it +14 and move your 2x to the left side of the equation making it -2x. You will get 8x-2x=4=+14

4) calculate each side. You will get 6x=18

Each letter of the alphabet is printed on an index card. What is the theoretical probability of randomly choosing any letter except Z? Write your answer as a fraction or percent rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

25/26 or 96.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the alphabets, we have 26 letters

If we remove Z, we have A -Y which is 25 alphabets

The question requires us to find the theoretical probability of choosing any other letter that is not Z

Probability= ratio of other alphabets that are not z to the number of letters in the alphabets.

Probability = 25/26 (as a fraction)

Probability = 0.9615 x 100 = 96.2% (as a percentage and to the nearest tenth)

Beth is solving this equation: 1/x + 3 =3/x
she says "I can multiply both sides by X and get the linear equation 1 + 3x = 3 whose solution is x = 2/3 ."
which of the following statements makes this a correct argument, or shows that it is in correct? Select all that apply.

a. you cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.

b. you can assume x = 0 because both sides are undefined if x = 0

c. after multiplying both sides by X you need to subtract 1 from both sides.

d. the equation is not linear, so you cannot use the methods normally used for solving linear equations.

Answers

Answer:

a. you cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\frac{1}{x} + 3 = \frac{3}{x}[/tex]

Required

Select which of the option that applies

Considering (a):

A is incorrect:

Because: Multiplying both sides by x has nothing to do with whether the value of x is known or not

Considering (b):

B is incorrect:

Substitute 0 for x in the given expression

[tex]\frac{1}{0} + 3 = \frac{3}{0}[/tex]

[tex]Und efi ned[/tex]

Both sides of the equation are undefined

However, you cannot assume x to be 0

Considering (c):

C is correct:

Start by multiplying both sides by x

[tex]x (\frac{1}{x} + 3) = \frac{3}{x} * x[/tex]

[tex]1 + 3x = 3[/tex]

Then, subtract 1 from both sides

[tex]1 - 1 + 3x = 3 - 1[/tex]

[tex]3x = 2[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]x = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Considering (d):

D is incorrect;

Because, the equation is linear
