Cameron is 1.85 meters tall. At 3 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 21.55 meters. He stands 16.6 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the tree can be found by establishing a proportional relationship between the heights and the shadows of the tree and Cameron and the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter is 2.40 m.

Proportional relationship

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

Therefore, we will establish a proportion to find the height of the tree.

Cameron height = 1.85 m

Tree shadow = 21.55 m

Cameron shadow length = 16.6 m

height of the tree = x

Therefore,

1.85 / x = 16.6 / 21.55

16.6x = 21.55 × 1.85

x = 39.8675 / 16.6

x = 2.40165662651

x = 2.40 m

Answers

Here is the completed two-way frequency table:

                         Comedy     Action     Total

Boys                    37              57              94

Total                   105              95             200

How to complete the two-way table?

Number of boys that prefer comedy = number of students that prefer comedy - Number of girls that prefer comedy

105 - 68 = 37

Number of boys that prefer action = total numer of boys - Number of boys that prefer comedy

If VZ=p–7 and WY=p–21, what is the value of p?

Answers

Answer:

p = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

the midsegment WY is half the measure of VZ , that is

WY = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] VZ ( substitute values )

p - 21 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (p - 7) ← multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2p - 42 = p - 7 ( subtract p from both sides )

p - 42 = - 7 ( add 42 to both sides )

p = 35


What are the solutions for the following system of equations?
y = 8x + 7
y = -x2 - 5x+7
(0,7) and (13, 97)
0 (0,7) and (-13, -97)

Answers

Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.

Point Form:

[tex](0,7),(-13,-97)[/tex]

Equation Form:

[tex]x=0,y=7\\x=-13,y=-97[/tex]

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    y-(8*x+7)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

Solve   y-8x-7  = 0

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.'

n this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-8x-7  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 7/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 7.00000

 y-intercept = 7/1  =  7.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 7/-8 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-0.87500

 x-intercept = 7/-8  = -0.87500

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 7.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 23.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 23.000 - 7.000 = 16.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = 16.000/2.000 =  8.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = 16.000/2.000 = 8.000

 x-intercept = 7/-8 = -0.87500

 y-intercept = 7/1 = 7.00000

Pull out like factors :

  -x2 - 5x - 7  =   -1 • (x2 + 5x + 7)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.2     Factoring  x2 + 5x + 7

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +5x  its coefficient is  5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +7

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 7 = 7

Step-2 : Find two factors of  7  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

     -7    +    -1    =    -8

     -1    +    -7    =    -8

     1    +    7    =    8

     7    +    1    =    8

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Find the Vertex of   y = -x2-5x-7

Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex .   Our parabola opens down and accordingly has a highest point (AKA absolute maximum) .    We know this even before plotting  "y"  because the coefficient of the first term, -1 , is negative (smaller than zero).

Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two  x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.

Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.

For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the  x -coordinate of the vertex is given by  -B/(2A) . In our case the  x  coordinate is  -2.5000  

Plugging into the parabola formula  -2.5000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate :

 y = -1.0 * -2.50 * -2.50 - 5.0 * -2.50 - 7.0

or   y = -0.750

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = -x2-5x-7

Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={-2.50}

Vertex at  {x,y} = {-2.50,-0.75}

Function has no real roots

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square

3.2     Solving   -x2-5x-7 = 0 by Completing The Square .

Multiply both sides of the equation by  (-1)  to obtain positive coefficient for the first term:

x2+5x+7 = 0  Subtract  7  from both side of the equation :

  x2+5x = -7

Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of  x , which is  5 , divide by two, giving  5/2 , and finally square it giving  25/4

Add  25/4  to both sides of the equation :

 On the right hand side we have :

  -7  +  25/4    or,  (-7/1)+(25/4)

 The common denominator of the two fractions is  4   Adding  (-28/4)+(25/4)  gives  -3/4

 So adding to both sides we finally get :

  x2+5x+(25/4) = -3/4

Adding  25/4  has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :

  x2+5x+(25/4)  =

  (x+(5/2)) • (x+(5/2))  =

 (x+(5/2))2

Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since

  x2+5x+(25/4) = -3/4 and

  x2+5x+(25/4) = (x+(5/2))2

then, according to the law of transitivity,

  (x+(5/2))2 = -3/4

We'll refer to this Equation as  Eq. #3.2.1  

The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.

Note that the square root of

  (x+(5/2))2   is

  (x+(5/2))2/2 =

 (x+(5/2))1 =

  x+(5/2)

A pool supply company sells 50-pound buckets of chlorine tablets. A customer believes that the company may be underfilling the buckets. To investigate, an inspector is hired. The inspector randomly selects 30 of these buckets of chlorine tablets and weighs the contents of each bucket. The sample mean is 49.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.2 pounds. The inspector would like to know if this provides convincing evidence that the true mean weight of the chlorine tablets in the 50-pound buckets is less than 50 pounds, so he plans to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 50 versus Ha: μ < 50, where μ = the true mean weight of all 50-pound buckets of chlorine tablets.

A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 1.
What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?

Answers

The circumference formula for a circle is C=πd where C is the circumference, d is the diameter of the circle and π is a constant. If you plug in 6 for C and solve the equation for d like:

6= πd and then divide both sides of the equation by π you get that d = 1.90

To find the central angle of an arc you would use the equation S = rθ where S is the length of the arc, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the measure of the angle which in this case is unknown. So with S = 1 and r = d/2 = 1.90/2 = 0.9549 you would have an equation that looks like this:

1 = 0.9549θ

Answer:

Break up the shape into a trapezoid and rectangle:

Trapezoid area = (Top + Bottom) * Height / 2

= (9 + 20) * (21-16) / 2

= 29 * 5 / 2

= 72.5

Rectangle area = Length * Width

= 20 * 16

= 320

Combining, the total area = 72.5 + 320

= 392.5 in^2

Answer:

A = 392.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure is made up of a rectangle and a trapezoid.

Calculate the area of the rectangle:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Area of a rectangle}&=\sf length \times width\\&=20 \times 16\\&=320\; \sf in^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Calculate the area of the trapezoid:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Area of a trapezoid}&=\dfrac{\text{base}\;a+\text{base}\;b}{2} \times \text{height}\\&=\dfrac{9+20}{2} \times (21-16)\\&=\dfrac{29}{2} \times 5\\&=72.5\; \sf in^2\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the composite figure it the sum of the area of the rectangle and the area of the trapezoid:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Total area of composite figure}&=\textsf{Area of rectangle}+\textsf{Area of trapezoid}\\&=320+72.5\\&=392.5 \; \sf in^2\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 392.5 in².

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Given:

Total amount = $285.75

Parking = $13.75

Price of ticket per person = $34.

So, money left after paying for parking

=285.75 - 13.75

= 272

Many parents also support the idea of a government-enforced curfew. These supporters believe that keeping the youth off the streets at night will deter youth-related crime. However, curfews are not effective at stopping juveniles. First, most of the crimes committed by juveniles happen in the late afternoon when they have free time. Many believe that the crimes committed by juveniles happen at night and that the curfews prevent it. However, this isn't true. Furthermore, a government-required curfew takes control away from parents. Parents should be able to decide what is best for their children, but an enforced curfew takes this power away. The idea of a curfew assumes that many youths will be committing crimes or participating in unsafe activities. But many young people are trustworthy and do not need an enforced curfew. This only creates tension between law enforcement and juveniles. This could be viewed as a lack of trust between law enforcement, the government, and youths. If a curfew is enforced, the people that put it in place should take all young people into account, not just those they fear will commit crimes or engage in hazardous behavior.Which sentence would be the best introduction to the essay?A.
