A 12 foot ladder leans against a building. The angle of elevation from the ground to the foot of the ladder is 46°. Find, to the nearest tenth of a foot, how far is the foot of the ladder from the building

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse is the longest side

Opposite is the side opposite the angle

Adjacent is the remaining side

Draw the triangle out, and you'll find that the hypotenuse (length of ladder) is 12ft, and that you are looking for the adjacent side (length of the foot of the ladder to the building). Rule out the opposite side (side of building) as it is not needed. The appropriate trigonometric formula is then the [tex]cos(angle) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex], rearranged to find the adjacent side is [tex]adjacent = cos(angle)*hypotenuse[/tex]  

substitute the values in and you get cos(46) x 12 = 8.335900446

For a polynomial p(x), the value of p(3) is −2. Which of the following must be true about p(x)?

A) x−5 is a factor of p(x).
B) x−2 is a factor of p(x).
C) x+2 is a factor of p(x).
D) The remainder when p(x) is divided by x−3 is −2.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial p(x) is divided by a polynomial of the form x+k (which accounts for all of the possible answer choices in this question), the result can be written as

p(x)/x+k = q(x) + r/x+k

where q(x) is a polynomial and r is the remainder. Since x+k is a degree-1 polynomial (meaning it only includes [tex]x^{1}[/tex] and no higher exponents), the remainder is a real number.

Therefore, p(x) can be rewritten as p(x) = (x+k)q(x) + r, where r is a real number.

The question states that p(3) = −2, so it must be true that

−2 = p(3) = (3+k)q(3) + r

Now we can plug in all the possible answers. If the answer is A, B, or C, r will be 0, while if the answer is D, r will be −2.

A. −2=p(3)=(3+(−5))q(3)+0

−2=(3−5)q(3)

−2=(−2)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3)=1

B. −2=p(3)=(3+(−2))q(3)+0

−2=(3−2)q(3)

−2=(−1)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3)=2

C. −2=p(3)=(3+2)q(3)+0

−2=(5)q(3)

This could be true, but only if q(3) = −2/5

D. −2=p(3)=(3+(−3))q(3)+(−2)

−2=(3−3)q(3)+(−2)

−2=(0)q(3)+(−2)

This will always be true no matter what q(3) is.

Of the answer choices, the only one that must be true about p(x) is D, that the remainder when p(x) is divided by x−3 is -2.

The final answer is D.

The graph of linear function f passes through the points (-8,-2) and (4,4). What is the x-intercept of f?

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

X= 2

just make a graph and you got the answer

.

The value of the x-intercept if f passes through the points (-8,-2) and (4,4), is -4 and the equation of the line is 2y -x = 4.

What is function?

Each element of X receives exactly one element of Y when a function from one set to the other is used. The sets X and Y are collectively referred to as the function's domain and co-domain, respectively.

Given:

The graph of linear function f passes through the points (-8,-2) and (4,4),

Calculate the equation of the line as shown below,

y - 4 = [4-(-2) / 4 - (-8)](x - 4)

y - 4 = 6 / 12 (x - 4)

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

2y - 8 = x - 4

2y -x = 4

Calculate the x-intercept by putting y = 0,

0 × 2 - x = 4

x = -4

Thus, the value of x is -4.

Let’s design a new ferris wheel!! Create a sketch of a new Ferris wheel. This new ferris wheel must have an arc length measuring 3 25π feet. What is the equation of your new ferris wheel if the center must be at least 60 feet from the ground? Be sure to show and explain all work.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x^2 +(y -61)^2 = 625/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the above equation is attached.

If the circumference of the wheel is 25π/3 feet, the diameter is ...

  d = C/π = (25/3π)/π = 25/3 . . . feet, about 8.33 feet

The radius will be half that value, or 25/6 feet.

For a center point (h, k) and radius r, the equation of a circle is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

You want the center to be more than 60 feet from the ground, so we can make it be 61 feet. The horizontal location is not specified, so we can make it zero.

This means we apparently want the equation for a circle of radius 25/6 feet with a center that is (x, y) = (0, 61). The equation of this circle is ...

  x^2 +(y -61)^2 = 625/36

A piece of fabric 4 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is 1.25 meters long. How much longer is the second piece of fabric?

Answers

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

the fabric is 4 meters long

first piece is 1.25 meters long

second piece will be (4-1.25)=2.75 meters long

therefore the second piece is (2.75-1.25) meters longer

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

4 meters - 1.25 meters=2.75m is the length of the second one.

But when they ask how much longer , I think they want you to compare the two pieces meaning to get the answer you have to take 2.75m-1.25m=1.5m thats how much longer the 2nd fabric is longer than the other one.

How do you do this?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attached for 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's almost like drawing any other graph. Here, you need to pay attention to the domain on which each piece is defined. You need to add dots where the function is discontinuous to show how the function is defined at the discontinuity.

__

1) The dividing line is at x=2.

To the left of that line, the graph is the constant function y=3.

To the right of that line, the graph is the quadratic function y = (x-3)².

The dots are placed where x=2 (at the boundary between the parts of the function). A solid dot is placed on the end of the horizontal line, since that is the function value at x=2. An open dot is placed on the end of the parabola, since the function is not defined at that point (2, 1).

The graph is shown in the first attachment.

__

2) Here, the dividing line between the pieces is at x=-4. Again, the function is constant to the left of that line. To the right of that line, it is a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3. The treatment of dots at the ends of the curve is the same, since the function is defined at x=-4 as the left piece, not the right piece.

The graph is shown in the second attachment.

Answer:

12 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically you need to use ratios using the gallons and pints

so for every 8 pints you get a gallon so the ratio would be 1:8 in the next number we have 1 and 1/2 we already found 1 gallon which is 8 then you need to find half of a gallon which is 8/2 or splitting the 8 in half which is 4. 8 pints (1 gallon) plus 4 pints (half a gallon) equals 12 pints. you can apply this rule for the next number we have 1 gallon which is 8 pints and we need to find 2 which would be 8 times 2 or 16 pints.

Paired or independent? To construct a confidence interval for each of the following quantities, say whether it would be better to use paired samples or independent samples, and explain why.

a. The mean difference in height between identical twins.
b. The mean difference in height between men and women.
c. The mean difference in apartment rents between apartments in two different cities.
d. The mean difference in apartment rents in a certain town between this year and last year.

Answers

Answer:

Paired or Independent Samples

Quantities   Samples

a.                 Paired Samples because the heights of the identical twins are dependent on each other.

b.                 Independent Samples; the height of men and women are independent of the other.

c.                 Independent Samples; rents in two different cities are not expected to be dependent on each other.

d.                Paired Samples; rent in a certain town between this year and last year are dependent on each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paired Samples are used when there is a natural or matched coupling such that a data set is generated in which each data point in one dependent sample is uniquely paired to a data point in the second dependent sample.  In this case, the two samples are dependent on each other.

Independent Samples are used when there is a random selection of samples because their observations are independent.

ms. lorenz needs to rent a car for 3 days. she can choose from two plans. plan a costs $60 per day. plan b costs $30 per day plus $.40 for each mile she drives. ms lorenz decides that plan b will cost her less than plan a. write and solve an inequality to represent the number of miles, m, that ms. lorenz expects to drive. PLEASE HELP!!!

Answers

Answer:

distance driven < 300 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plan A

She needs the car for 3 days.

1 day costs 60 dollars

3 days cost 60*3 = 180 So this is the maximum amount that she can spend

Plan B

She still needs the car for 3 days

1 day costs 20 dollars of the car does not move

3 days costs 3*20 = 60 dollars.

60 + 0.4m < 180                Subtract 60

0.4m < 180 - 60

0.4m < 120                        Divide by 0.4

m < 120/ 0.4

m < 300  

Answer

so she should drive less than 300 miles.
