Standing side by side, a woman casts a 41.4-inch shadow and her 40-inch-tall son casts a 24-inch shadow. What is the height of the woman to the nearest inch?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Son:

[tex]Height = 40\ inch[/tex]

[tex]Shadow = 24\ inch[/tex]

Woman:

[tex]Height = 41.4\ inch[/tex]

Required

Determine the height of the woman's shadow

From the question, the height is directly proportional to the height of the shadow:

So, we have:

[tex]40\ inch = 24\ inch[/tex] --- For the son

and

[tex]41.4\ inch = x[/tex]

Where x represents the shadow of the woman

Cross Multiply:

[tex]x * 40 = 24 * 41.4[/tex]

[tex]x * 40 = 993.6[/tex]

[tex]40x = 993.6[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 993.6/40[/tex]

[tex]x = 24.84[/tex]

[tex]x = 25[/tex] ---- approximated

Hence, the woman's shadow is 25 inches tall

How far will 25 N of force stretch a spring with a spring with a spring constant of 125 N/m?​

Answers

Answer:

-0.656168ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If Spring force constant (k)  is 125  N/m

And the force is (F) 25 N ,

then the spring displacement (Δx) -0.656168

Equation used:

Knowing Hooke's law, we can write it down it the form of a formula:

F = -kΔx

F is the spring force (in N);

k is the spring constant (in N/m); and

Δx is the displacement (positive for elongation and negative for compression, in m).

i need help with these 9 questions they’re pretty simple

Answers

Answer:

1. n = 4

2. n = -29

3. n = -28

4. n = -48

5. n = -22

6. n = 97

7. n = 220

8. n = -18

9. n = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -n = -4

Multiply both by -1 to get n = 4

2. 12 + n = -17

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to get n = -29

3. -n/14 = 2

Multiply by 14 on both sides of the equation to get -n = 28

Multiply -1 on both sides of the equation to get n = -28

4. -42 = n + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation to get -48 = n or n = -48

5. -4n = 88

Divide -4 on both sides of the equation to get n = -22

6. n + -3 = 94

Add 3 to both sides of the equation to get n = 97

7. 11 = -n/-20

Multiply by -20 on both sides of the equation to get -220 = -n or -n = -220

Multiply -1 on both sides of the equation to get n = 220

8. -108 = 6n

Divide by 6 on both sides of the equation to get -18 = n or n = -28

9. 67 = 31 + n

Subtract 31 from both sides of the equation to get 36 = n or n = 36

How to tell if your table is linear or exponential?

Answers

Answer: If the first difference is the same value, the model will be linear. If the second difference is the same value, the model will be quadratic. If the number of times the difference has been taken before finding repeated values exceeds five, the model may be exponential or some other special equation.

Step-by-step explanation: You can tell if a table is linear by looking at how X and Y change. If, as X increases by 1, Y increases by a constant rate, then a table is linear. You can find the constant rate by finding the first difference. This table is linear.
