Answers

The distance where the keys would drop from the base is 3.5m

Calculation far from the base of tower?

Height of the tower = 57m

Angle it makes to the ground = 86°

To solve this question, you have to understand that the tower isn't vertically upright and the height of the tower is different from the distance from the top of the tower to the ground.

The tower makes an angle 86° to the ground and that makes it not vertically straight because a vertically straight building is at 90° to the ground.

The distance from where the keys drop to the base of the tower can be calculated using

We have to use cosθ = adjacent / hypothenus

θ = 86°

Adjacent = ? = x

Hypothenus = 57m

Cos θ = x / hyp

Cos 86 = x / 57

X = 57 × cos 86

X = 57× 0.06976

X = 3.97 = 4m

The keys would fall from the tower's base at a distance of about 4 meters.

Answers

Solution:

Given:

[tex]\begin{gathered} focus=(1,2) \\ directrix,y=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 1:

The equation of a parabola is given below as

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{4(f-k)}(x-h)^2+k \\ (h,f)=focus \\ h=1,f=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2:

On the planet Alaber, there are 15 dubbles to every 13 rews. If farmer Mimstoon has 100 rews on his frent farm, how many dubbles are on the farm?

Answers

You have that on planet Alaber, there are 15 dubbles to every 13 rews. This proportion can be wrtten as 15:13, or 15/13.

In order to calculate how many dubbles are on the farm, while there are 100 rews. You use the previous ratio and proceed as follow:

15/13 = x/100 where x is the unknown number of dubbles

This is because the ratio between dubbles and rews must be the same.

You solve the previous equation as follow:

15/13=x/100 multiply both sides by 100 to cancel the denomitaro 100 right side

15/13(100) = x/100(100)

1500/13 = x

In order to write the previous result as a mixed number you divide numerator and denominator:

1500 | 13

143 115

70

65

5

Then, x = 1500/13 is also equal to:

x = 115 13/5

how do you find a point slope in geometry

Answers

see explanation below

Explanation:

To find the point slope form of an equation, we will apply the formula:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Given two points, we will be able to find the slope = m

for example: (1, 2), (2, 4)

m = slope = change in y/ change in x

m = (4-2)/(2-1)

m = 2/1

m = 2

Then, we will pick any of the points and insert into the formula for the point slope.

Let's assume we are using point (1, 2) = (x1, y1)

inserting into the formula together with the slope gives:

y - 2 = 2(x - 1)

The above is a point slope for the points given.

The formula of the coefficient 'm' is:

[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Let's substitute the points into the formula above to find the value of m. Then we use one of the points to find the slope-intercept form of the equation:

[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{-1-1}{-1-0}=2[/tex]

Write the equation that represents inverse function, h(a), which takes triangle's area as input and returns height of the triangle.

Answers

First problem:

Find the inverse of the function

m = 40 (d - 35)

Recall that for the inverse function we need to solve for d in terms of m (reverse the dependence), so we proceed to isolate d on the right hand side of the equation:

divide both sides by 40

m/40 = d - 35

now add 35 to both sides:

m/40 + 35 = d

The inverse function (dollars in terms of miles) is given then by:

d(m) = 1/40 m + 35

Second problem:

a = 7 * h / 2

in order to find the inverse function (as h in terms of a) we solve for h on the right hand side of the equation as shown below:

multiply both sides by 2:

2 * a = 7 * h

now divide both sides by 7 in order to isolate h on the right

2 a / 7 = h

So our inverse function of height in terms of area is given by:

h(a) = (2 a) / 7

How long will it take money to double if it is invested at the following rates?(A) 7.8% compounded weekly(B) 13% compounded weekly(A) years(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A) We'll use the below compound interest formula to solve the given problem;

[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]

where P = principal (starting) amount

A = future amount = 2P

t = number of years

r = interest rate in decimal = 7.8% = 7.8/100 = 0.078

Since the interest is compounded weekly, then r = 0.078/52 = 0.0015

Let's go ahead and substitute the above values into the formula and solve for t;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2P=P(1+0.0015)^t \\ \frac{2P}{P}=(1.0015)^t \\ 2=(1.0015)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's now take the natural log of both sides;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \ln 2=\ln (1.0015)^t \\ \ln 2=t\cdot\ln (1.0015) \\ t=\frac{\ln 2}{\ln (1.0015)} \\ t=462.44\text{ w}eeks \\ t\approx\frac{462.55}{52}=8.89\text{ years} \end{gathered}[/tex]

We can see that it will take 8.89 years for

B) when r = 13% = 13/100 = 0.13

Since the interest is compounded weekly, then r = 0.13/52 = 0.0025

Let's go ahead and substitute the values into the formula and solve for t;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2P=P(1+0.0025)^t \\ \frac{2P}{P}=(1.0025)^t \\ 2=(1.0025)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's now take the natural log of both sides;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \ln 2=\ln (1.0025)^t \\ \ln 2=t\cdot\ln (1.0025) \\ t=\frac{\ln 2}{\ln (1.0025)} \\ t=277.60\text{ w}eeks \\ t\approx\frac{2.77.60}{52}=5.34\text{ years} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitution method:

Substitution method is the way of finding the value of any one of the variables from one equation in terms of the other variable.

Given,

Here we have the system of equations

x + y = 20

y = 3x + 8

Now we need to find the solutions for these equation using the substitution method.

From the given details we know that the value of y is defined as 3x + 8.

So, we have to apply these value on the other equation in order to find the value of x,

x + (3x + 8) = 20

4x + 8 = 20

4x = 20 - 8

4x = 12

x = 3

Now apply the value of x into the other equation in order to find the value  of y,

Now, half the circumference measures pi, thus, pi/2 is a quarte of the circumference. As we want to find the angle -pi/2, then we need to rotate the terminal side clockwise:

Find the sine and the cosine.

The sine and the cosine in the unit circle are given by the coordinates as follows:

[tex](\cos\theta,\sin\theta)[/tex]

As can be seen in the given unit circle, the terminal side is located at:

[tex](0,-1)[/tex]

Thus, the values of cosine and sine are:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos\theta=0 \\ \sin\theta=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

if Maria collected R rocks and Javy collected twice as many rocks as Maria and Pablo collected 5 less than Javy. What is the sum of rocks collected by Pablo and Maria?

Answers

This problem deals with the numbers expressed in a more general way: letters or variables

That belongs to Algebra

We know Maria collected R rocks. Let's put this in a separate line:

M = R

Where M is meant to be the number of rocks collected by Maria

Now we also know Javy collected twice as many rocks as Maria did. Thus, if J is that variable, we know that

J = 2R

Pablo collected 5 less rocks than Javy. This is expressed as

P = J - 5

or equivalently:

P = 2R - 5

since J = 2R, as we already stated

We are now required to calculate the sum of rocks collected by Pablo and Maria.

This is done by adding P + M:

P + M = (2R - 5) + (R)

We have used parentheses to indicate we are replacing variables for their equivalent expressions

Now, simplify the expression:

P + M = 2R - 5 + R

We collect the same letters by adding their coefficients:

P + M = 3R - 5

Answer: Pablo and Maria collected 3R - 5 rocks together
