James is 5 ft. tall and casts a 6.5 ft. shadow. At the same time, a palm tree casts a 26 ft. shadow. How tall is the palm tree?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  20 feet

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

Work Shown:

(height)/(shadow length) = (height)/(shadow length)

(5 ft)/(6.5 ft) = (x ft)/(26 ft)

5/(6.5) = x/26

5*26 = 6.5*x

130 = 6.5x

6.5x = 130

x = 130/(6.5)

x = 20

The palm tree is 20 feet tall, which is the same height as a 2 story building (assuming each floor is 10 ft).

Answers

Answer:

 6 pears

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the number of ratio units is 5-3 = 2. This corresponds to an original difference of 2+2 = 4, so each ratio unit represents 2 pieces of fruit.

There are 900 seats on a train. 540 of the seats are empty. What percentage of the seats on the train are empty?

Answers

60% of the seats on the train are empty

you have to divide 900 by 9 to get 100 because percents are out of 100, then you have to divide 540 by 9 also.

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 540 empty, and 900 total, you need to divide 540 by 900.

540/900=54/90=6/10=60/100

When you get 60/100, or 0.6, you know that it is 60 percent because percent is out of 100.

Statement 1: If √12 - √8 = a, then √12 + √8 is equal to 4/a.
Statement 2: a + √b is called the rationalizing factor of c + √d if their product is 1.

• Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

• Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is true; 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.

• Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is false.

• Statement 1 is false; Statement 2 is true.

It is an assertion-reasoning question. Please help me to solve this. Need step-by-step explanation as well. Thank you.​

Answers

Answer:

Statement 1 is true; Statement 2 is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1:

√12 - √8 = a

Let's use the given value of √12 + √8 ,that is, 4/ a.

If we multiply both the expressions such that their Left Hand Sides get multiplies together and Right Hand Sides together:

=> (√12- √8)(√12 + √8) = a × 4/a

On the LHS,

identity used:

(a-b)(a+b) = a²-b²

On the RHS:

a gets canceled due to its presence in both the numerator as well as the denominator.

=> 12 - 8 = 4

=> 4 = 4

That's it!

We got LHS = RHS, that approves the existence of the given statement.

___________________

Statement 2:

"a + √b is called the rationalizing factor of c + √d if their product is 1"

That's not entirely right!

The correct statement would be:

" a + √b is called the rationalizing factor of c + √d if their product is a rational number ."

Since, rationalizing has got nothing to do with 1, (1 is just another rational number), even if we get 2 by their multiplication, it will be called rationalizing as long as we're getting a rational number.

___________________

Answer:

Hence, I'd say:

Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 isn't.

That's the third option.

how many solutions does x squared= 4x -5 have

Answers

Answer: There are no solutions

Answer:

Two

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 4x - 5 is equivalent to x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0 in standard quadratic form.

All quadratics have exactly two roots/solutions.

In this case the coefficients of the polynomial are 1, -4 and 5, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or (-4)^2 - 4(1)(5), or 16 - 20 = -4.

Since the discriminant is negative, we conclude that this polynomial has two complex roots/solutions.

Hi,

x² + 8x + 12 = 0

a= 1 ; b= 8 c= 12

∆ = b² - 4ac

∆ = 8² - 4*1*12

∆ = 64 - 4*12

∆ = 64 - 48

∆ = 16

∆>0 :

x1 = (-b-√∆)/2a = (-8-4)/2 = -12/2 = -6

x2 = (-b+√∆)/2a = (-8+4)/2 = -4/2 = -2

S= { -6 ; -2 }

x = -6

➺ x² + 2x + 6x = 0

➺ x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2) =0

➺ (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0

En un barrio de 3.120 habitantes, se realizó una encuesta a 620 sobre la preferencia
por comer huevo al desayuno todos los días, contestando que, si le gusta 18 personas,
probablemente en el barrio, ¿cuántas personas prefieren lo mismo?

Answers

Es probable que el número de personas a las que si les gusta comer huevo al desayuno todos los días sea 90 personas.

Según principios estadísticos, es posible determinar una tendencia general utilizando una muestra de la población. En otras palabras, es posible tener una idea aproximada de las preferencias de una población si se logran determinar las preferencias de un pequeño grupo de dicha población.

En este caso sabemos que la población total equivale a 3120 habitantes, la muestra equivale a 620 personas y en la muestra 18 personas comen huevo al desayuno todos los días.

Usando una regla de tres podemos determinar la tendencia general:

Si a 18 personas de 620 les gusta comer huevo todos los días al desayuno, a cuántas personas de 3120 les gusta lo mismo.

18 = 620x = 3120

x = 18 x 3120 / 620x = 56160 / 620x=  90

Es decir que aproximadamente 90 personas tienen esta misma preferencia.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,5) and is perpendicular to the graph of y=2x-3

Answers

Hello there! :)

We are given that the line passes through the point (4,5) and that it's perpendicular to the line y=2x-3.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

This means we take a number, make it negative, and flop it over:

2

-2

-1/2

So the slope of the line perpendicular to y=2x-3 is -1/2.

Now, we have the slope and a point that the line passes through, so we can write the equation in point-slope form, which looks like so:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Where

y1 is the y-coordinate of the point

m is the slope

x1 is the x-coordinate of the point

Now, let's plug our values into the equation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-5=-1/2(x-4)

y-5=-1/2x+2

y=-1/2x+2+5

y=-1/2x+7

Hence, that is the equation of the line.

Hope it helps.
