A hockey player takes a shot 20 feet away from a 5-foot goal. If the puck travels at a 15° angle of elevation toward the center of the goal, will the player score?
EXPLANATION
Let's see the facts:
shoot = 20 feet
goal = 5 foot
Let's draw the statement:
Since we are finding the side opposite the given angle and know the side adjacent, we can use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the needed value.

Which statement is true about the given function?fx) > 0 over the interval (-0,3).f(x) > 0 over the interval (-:-).f(x) <0 over the interval (-0,3).f(x) <0 over the interval (- : -).
f(x) means the value of y
The graph has a part down the x-axis which means f(x) < 0
The graph has another part over the x-axis which means f(x) > 0
The value of x for the negative part is from - infinity to 3
Then f(x) < 0 at the interval (-00, 3)
The value of x for the positive part is from 3 to infinity
then f(x) > 0 at the interval (3, 00)

Which line is perpendicular to a line that has a slope
of 1?
Oline MN
Oline AB
Oline EF
Oline JK
JK is perpendicular to a line that has a slope
What is Slope?
The ratio of how much y grows as x grows by a certain amount is known as a line's slope. The slope of a line indicates how steep it is, or how much y rises as x rises. Anywhere along the line, the slope remains constant (the same).
Two lines, L1 and L2, with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if
m1 x m2 = -1.
In our case m1 = 1
1 x m2 = -1
m2 = -2
so the slope of the perpendicular line is -2.
( -2 x (1) = -1).
As x increases, the line with a slope of -2 increases. Line JK is the only line displayed that fits this. Line AB cannot be the solution because it is "falling" as x grows.

the volume of a rectangular box with a square base remains constant at 1100 cm3 as the area of the base increases at a rate of 10 2/sec. find the rate at which the height of the box is decreasing when each side of the base is 15 cm long. (do not round your answer.)
The height of the box is decreasing at a rate of 2/45 cm/sec.
The volume of a box remains constant at 1100m³ but the area of the base is increasing at a rate of 10 m²/sec.
Since the base of the box is a square, let the sides of the box be a, a, and h. The area of the base can be written as,
A = a²
Differentiate the above equation with respect to t.
dA/dt = 2a(da/dt)
Substitute 10 for dA/dt and 15 for a, to find the rate of change of side of base.
10 = 2(15)(da/dt)
da/dt = 1/3
The volume of the box can be written as,
V = (a)(a)(h) = a²h
Differentiate the above equation with respect to t.
0 = 2a(da/dt) + a² (dh/dt)
dh/dt = -2/a (da/dt)
Substitute 15 for a and 1/3 for da/dt in the above equation, to find the rate of change of height of the box.
dh/dt = -2/15 (1/3)
= -2/45
Thus, the height of the box is decreasing at a rate of 2/45 cm/sec.

The admission fee at an amusement park is 1.5 dollars for children and 4 dollars for adults. On a certain day, 281 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 684 dollars. How many children how many adults were admitted?
Answer:
176 children and 105 adults.
Explanation:
Let's call x the number of children and y the number of adults.
If 281 people entered the park, we can write the following equation
x + y = 281
If they collected 684 dollars, we can write the following equation
1.5x + 4y = 684
because it cost $1.5 for children and $4 for adults.
Now, we have the following system of equations
x + y = 281
1.5x + 4y = 684
First, we need to solve the first equation for y, so
x + y = 281
x + y - x = 281 - x
y = 281 - x
Then, replace this expression on the second equation
1.5x + 4y = 684
1.5x + 4(281 - x) = 684
1.5x + 4(281) - 4(x) = 684
1.5x + 1124 - 4x = 684
-2.5x + 1124 = 684
Finally, we can solve the equation for x
-2.5x + 1124 - 1124 = 684 - 1124
-2.5x = -440
-2.5x/(-2.5) = -440/(-2.5)
x = 176
So, the value of y is equal to
y = 281 - x
y = 281 - 176
y = 105
Therefore, they admitted 176 children and 105 adults.

What is output by the following code? Select all that apply.
c = 2
while (c < 12):
print (c)
c = c + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
that is not mathematics, and I am not sure, if you listed everything, but the result to such a loop is
25811
because it first prints the Imuran content of c (2).
then it increases the content of c by 3. c is now 5
then it checks that 5 is still smaller than 12 (yes it is), and it prints 5.
then it prints 8. then 11. and then c becomes 14 and is therefore larger than 12. and the loop ends.
I don't know what your particular print command does, but I assume it is just a basic "bring the parameter to output". in that case it will write all numbers right after the previous number.
hence : 25811

during a span of 2 hours , lalia played her video games for 50 minutes . what percentage of time was spent on the game
Total time = 2 hours
Time playing video games = 50 minutes
We have to write an equation:
Total time (2hours) multiplied by the percentage in decimal form (x) must be equal to 50 minutes
Time must be in the same unit ( minutes)
since 60 minutes =1 hour
2 hours = 2 (60) =120 minutes
Back with the equation:
120 x = 50
Solving for x
x = 50/120
x = 0.42
In percentage form:
0.42 x 100 = 42%

what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 15x + 12y = -108
First, rewrite the equation in its slope intercept form:
(slope intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope ; b = y-axis intercept)
15x + 12y = -108
Subtract 15x from both sides:
15x + 12y - 15x = -108 - 15x
12y = -108 - 15x
Divide both sides by 12:
12y/12 = (-108 - 15x)/12
y = -5x/4 - 9
As you can see the slope of this line is -5/4
Now, two lines are perpendicular if:
m1*m2 = -1
Where:
m1 = Slope of the line 1
m2 = Slope of the line 2
m1 in this case would be -5/4
so:
-5/4* m2 = -1
Solving for m2:
m2 = -1/(-5/4) = 4/5 = 0.8
Find the value of x that will make A||B.
X = ?
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are opposite exterior angles, they are congruent, so you set them equal to each other
5x = 4x + 12
- 4x - 4x
x = 12
For A and B to be parallel then the angle (4x+12)⁰ and the angle opposite to angle (5x)⁰ should be equal since the two are congruent to each other.
therefore
5x = opposite angle=(4x+12)
=> 5x=(4x+12)
=>5x-4x= 12
therefore
X =12⁰

a builder appoints three construction workers akash, sunil and rakesh on one of his sites. they take 20, 30 and 60 days respectively to do a piece of work. how many days will it take akash to complete the entire work if he is assisted by sunil and rakesh every third day?
It will take 15 days for Akash to complete the entire work if he is assisted by Sunil and Rakesh every third day.
To determine the number of days, we first represent the number of days to do a piece of work by each one of them in fractions as follows;
Fraction of work completed by Akash in 1 day = 1/20
Fraction of work completed by Sunil in 1 day = 1/30
Fraction of work completed by Rakesh in 1 day = 1/60
The total work done in 1 day can be given as;
Total work done by the three in one day = [(1/20) + (1/30) + (1/60)] = 1/10
Work done by Akash in two days = 2 × (1/20) = 2/20 = 1/10
The work done in three days (1 day of all three together + Work done by Akash in two days) = (1/10) + (1/10) = 1/5
Therefore; the total work done in 3 days = 1/5
At this rate, the total number of cycles required to finish the work =
(1) ÷ (1/5) = 5
Since each cycle has three days, the total number of days required to finish the work can be calculated as follows;
5 × 3 = 15 days
