Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. A vertical pole is supported by two ropes staked to the ground on opposite sides of the pole. One rope is 8 meters long, and the other is 7 meters. The distance between the stakes is 6 meters, and the height of the pole is meters.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.78 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the set up forms a triangle with length of ropes two sides of the triangle a = 8 m and b = 7 m respectively, the distance between them which is c = 6 m forms the third side of the triangle.

To find the height of the pole, we need to find the angle between any of the ropes and the ground. So, choosing the 8 m long rope side and using the cosine rule,

b² = a² + c² - 2accosФ where Ф is the angle opposite the 7 m long side which is also the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

So, making, Ф subject of the formula, we have

b² - (a² + c²) = 2accosФ

cosФ = [b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Ф = cos⁻¹{[b² - (a² + c²)]/2ac}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[7² - (8² + 6²)]/2(8)(6)}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - (64 + 36)]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{[49 - 100]/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-51/96}

Ф = cos⁻¹{-0.53125}

Ф = 122.09°

Since the height of the pole, h is a perpendicular bisector to the base of the triangle, and the 8 m long side form a triangle with it and the ground and the 8 m long side being the hypotenuse side of this triangle, we have that

sinФ = h/a where a = 8 m and Ф = 122.09° = the angle between the 8 m long side and the ground.

h = asinФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = asinФ

h = (8 m)sin122.09°

h = 8 m × 0.8472

h = 6.78 m

A positive real number is 4 less than another. If the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72, then find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

Our two numbers are:

[tex]2+4\sqrt{2} \text{ and } 4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex]

Or, approximately 7.66 and 3.66.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

One positive real number is four less than another. So, we can write that:

[tex]b=a-4[/tex]

The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72. Therefore:

[tex]a^2+b^2=72[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]a^2+(a-4)^2=72[/tex]

Solve for a. Expand:

[tex]a^2+(a^2-8a+16)=72[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2a^2-8a+16=72[/tex]

Divide both sides by two:

[tex]a^2-4a+8=36[/tex]

Subtract 36 from both sides:

[tex]a^2-4a-28=0[/tex]

The equation isn't factorable. So, we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -28. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(-28)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{128}}{2}=\frac{4\pm8\sqrt{2}}{2}=2\pm4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

So, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1=2+4\sqrt{2}\approx 7.66\text{ or } x_2=2-4\sqrt{2}\approx-3.66[/tex]

Since the two numbers are positive, we can ignore the second solution.

So, our first number is:

[tex]a=2+4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

And since the second number is four less, our second number is:

[tex]b=(2+4\sqrt{2})-4=4\sqrt{2}-2\approx 3.66[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]2+4\sqrt{2}\text{ and }4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the large number be [tex]x[/tex]. We can represent the smaller number with [tex]x-4[/tex]. Since their squares add up to 72, we have the following equation:

[tex]x^2+(x-4)^2=72[/tex]

Expand [tex](x-4)^2[/tex] using the property [tex](a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex]:

[tex]x^2+x^2-2(4)(x)+16=72[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]2x^2-8x+16=72[/tex]

Subtract 72 from both sides:

[tex]2x^2-8x-56=0[/tex]

Use the quadratic formula to find solutions for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex] for [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

In [tex]2x^2-8x-56[/tex], assign:

[tex]a\implies 2[/tex] [tex]b \implies -8[/tex] [tex]c\implies -56[/tex]

Solving, we get:

[tex]x=\frac{-(-8)\pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4(2)(-56)}}{2(2)},\\x=\frac{8\pm 16\sqrt{2}}{4},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{8+16\sqrt{2}}{4}, x=\boxed{2+4\sqrt{2}} \\x=\frac{8-16\sqrt{2}}{4}, x=\boxed{2-4\sqrt{2}}\end{cases}[/tex]

Since the question stipulates that [tex]x[/tex] is positive, we have [tex]x=\boxed{2+4\sqrt{2}}[/tex]. Therefore, the two numbers are [tex]2+4\sqrt{2}[/tex] and [tex]4\sqrt{2}-2[/tex].

Verify:

[tex](2+4\sqrt{2})^2+(4\sqrt{2}-2)^2=72\:\checkmark[/tex]

Please help I really need ur help please

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put both equations into slope-intercept form.

x + 3y - 4 = 0

3y = -x + 4

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

2x + 5y - 20 = 0

5y = -2x + 20

y = (-2/5)x + 4

For a line to be perpendicular to y = (-1/3)x + (4/3), its slope should be the opposite and reciprocal of this line's slope.

The slope of y = (-1/3)x + (4/3) is (-1/3). The slope of a perpendicular line is 3.

To find the x-intercept of y = (-2/5)x + 4, plug in 0 for y and find x.

0 = (-2/5)x + 4

x = 10

The equation of the line right now is y = 3x + b

Plug in (10, 0) to find the y-intercept.

0 = 3(10) + b

b = -30

The equation of the line is y = 3x - 30

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph the system of inequalities given.

y > 2x + 1 -----(1)

y > |x| --------(2)

For inequality (1),

Solution area will be the area above the dotted line y = 2x + 1

Similarly, solution area of the second inequality will be the area above the dotted lines of y = |x|

Solution area of the system of inequalities will be the common area of both the graphs of the given system.

That will lie in quadrants 1 and 2.

Option (1) will be the answer.

1. Brad invested $2,300 in a corporate bond
that pays 14% interest compounded
continuously. How long will it take
Brad's investment to triple?

Answers

Given:

Principal value = $2300

Rate of interest = 14% compounded continuously.

To find:

The time taken by Brad's investment to triple.

Solution:

The formula for amount after the compound interest (Continuously) is:

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

Where, P is the principal, r is the rate of interest in decimal and t is the time period.

Triple of Brad's investment is

[tex]3\times \$ 2300=\$ 6900[/tex]

Substituting [tex]A=6900,P=2300\ r=0.14[/tex], we get

[tex]6900=2300e^{0.14t}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6900}{2300}=e^{0.14t}[/tex]

[tex]3=e^{0.14t}[/tex]

Taking natural log on both sides, we get

[tex]\ln 3=\ln e^{0.14t}[/tex]

[tex]1.0986=0.14t[/tex]                [tex][\because \ln e^x=x][/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1.0986}{0.14}=t[/tex]

[tex]7.84714=t[/tex]

After approximating the value, we get

[tex]t\approx 7.85[/tex]

Therefore, Brad's investment will take 7.85 years to triple.

Mrs. Laser is building a new space for her chickens. She has 80 feet of fencing. What is the greatest fencing area she could create using fencing?

Answers

Answer:

400 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be shown that a square area is the most efficient way in which to use fencing.  If the area is not square, the area will inevitably be smaller.  

Calculus is the tool most often used in higher math to solve optimization problems.  

But the same goal can be achieved in this problem by working with constraints:  

If x and y are the length and width respectively, then

2x + 2y = 80 ft, or x + y = 40, or x = 40 - y.  This is one constraint.  

The other constraint involves the area:  A = x*y, or A = (40 - y)*y.  To maximize this, we need to rewrite (40 - y)*y in standard form:

A = 40y - y^2, or, finally, A = -y^2 + 40 y.  The coefficients of this quadratic are -1, 40 and 0; the axis of symmetry is thus

x = -b/ [2a], or, in this case, x = -40/[2*(-1)], or x = 20.

Thus, If x = 20, y = 20 also, proving that the shape of the enclosed yard is that of a square.

Then Mrs. L' 80 feet of fencing is sufficient to construct a 20 ft by 20 ft space, which comes out to a maximum area of 400 ft^2.

40 -

400ft hope this helps you out
