Dr. Black is standing 15 feet from the streetlamp. The lamp is making his shadow 8 feet long. He estimates that the angle of elevation from the tip of his shadow to the top of the streetlamp is 50°. To the nearest foot, the streetlamp is about _______

Answers

Answer 1

use tangent because tangent is opposite over adjacent ( to remember sin cos and tan use the phrase "Oscar Has A Hairy Old Asss")
the angle is from his shadow so use (15+8) as the adjacent side
so tan(50)=x/23
so tan(50)(23)=x
so x=about 27 feet

The variable Z is inversely proportional to X. When X is 6, Z has the value 2. What is the value of z . When x = 13
Round to at least the thousandths place if needed.

Answers

Given that z is inversely proportional to x, then:
z α 1/x
hence;
z=k/x
where:
k is the constant of proportionality;
when x=6, z=2
therefore;
2=k/6
hence;
k=2*6=12

Therefore:
z=12/x
the value of z when x=13 will be:
z=12/13
the answer is 12/13

A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the equation x^2-2x-8=0. Where did the student go wrong?

Step 1. Factor the polynomial into (x-4) and (x-2)
Step 2. x-4=0 and x-2=0
Step 3. x=4 and x=3

A. The student did not make any mistakes, the solution is correct
B. in step 1
C. in step 2
D. in step 3

Answers

In step 1, because you want to find factors that multiply to -8 and add to -2. So the correct factorization is (x-4)(x+2). The student got the minus sign wrong.

(Then in step 3 the x=3 is also very wrong, but that looks more like a typo).
(Also, it should be x-4=0 OR x+2=0, there is no x for which both factors are 0 at the same time!)

Can you use the ASA Postulate or the AAS Theorem to prove the triangles congruent?

Answers

Answer:

ASA only

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a picture of two triangles with one side and one angle congruent.

Comparison of these two triangles given

side = side

one angle = one angle (given)

Second angle = second angle (Vertically opposite angles)

Thus we find here that two angles and one corresponding side are congruent.

HEnce we say that these two triangles are congruent by ASA theorem

ASA theorem can be applied here because the equal side is between the two congruent angles.

Instead if the side is not between the congruent angles but corresponding side then we can only use AAS

SO here ASA is correct.

Answer:

ASA only

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two triangles in which

An angle of triangle is equal to its corresponding angle of second triangle.

One side of a triangle is equal to one side of other triangle.

ASA postulate: It states that two angles and included side of one triangle are congruent to its corresponding angles and corresponding side of other triangle , then the two triangles are congruent.

AAS postulate: It states that two angles and non- included side of one triangle are congruent to its corresponding two angles and its corresponding side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent by AAS postulate.

A pair of numbers is a solution of y = -3x if the second number, y, is -3 times the first number, x.

What about the pair (-1, 4)? If you replace x with -1, you get y = -3(-1) = 3, not 4. So (-1, 4) is NOT a solution.

For each answer choice, you have to check all three of the given pairs.

(0, 0) is a solution because if x = 0, then y = -3(0) = 0.
(3, -9) is a solution because if x = 3, then y = 3(-3) = -9.

The initial temperature of a cup of tea is 200ºF. The surrounding temperature is 70ºF, and the value of the constant k is 0.6.
Applying Newton's cooling model, the temperature of the tea after 2 hours will be ___
ºF. round to the nearest integer.

Answers

Newton's Law of Cooling states that the change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the ambient temperature over time.

Therefore when expressed mathematically, this is equivalent to:

dT = - k (T – Ts) dt

dT / (T – Ts) = - k dt

Integrating:

ln [(T2– Ts) / (T1– Ts)] = - k (t2 – t1)

Before we plug in the values, let us first convert the temperatures into absolute values R (rankine) by adding 460.

R = ˚F + 460

T1 = 200 + 460 = 660 R

Ts = 70 + 460 = 530 R

ln [(T2– 530) / (660 – 530)] = - 0.6 (2 - 0)

T2 = 569.16 R

T2 = 109 ºF

Answer: After 2 hours, it will be 109 ºF

Solve cos x +sqrt2 = -cos x for x over the interval (0,2pi) .

Answers

Final answer:

The equation cos x + sqrt(2) = -cos x is solved by combining like terms and isolating cos x, resulting in the solutions x = 3π/4 and 5π/4 over the interval (0,2π).

Explanation:

To solve the equation cos x + sqrt(2) = -cos x for x over the interval (0,2π), first combine like terms by adding cos x to both sides of the equation, resulting in:

2 cos x + sqrt(2) = 0

Isolate cos x by subtracting sqrt(2) from both sides:

2 cos x = -sqrt(2)

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for cos x:

cos x = -sqrt(2)/2

The value of cos x = -sqrt(2)/2 corresponds to angles in the second and third quadrants. So, the solutions for x in the interval (0,2π) are:

x = 3π/4, 5π/4

(First of all, Melanie, you should really get a lamp. And second why is it you own more shorts than shirts?)

Answers

Answer: 1/24

---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

A = selects green pair of shorts
B = selects gray t-shirt

P(A) = probability of selecting green shorts
P(A) = (number of green shorts)/(number of shorts total)
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = probability of selecting gray t-shirt
P(B) = (number of gray t-shirts)/(number of t-shirts total)
P(B) = 1/4

P(A and B) = probability of selecting green shorts AND gray t-shirt
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... since A and B are independent events
P(A and B) = (1/6)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(6*4)
P(A and B) = 1/24

Note: The fraction 1/24 is approximately equal to 0.041667

Answers

The expression that represents the width of the rectangle is x - 8

Area of a rectangle:area = lw

l = length

w = width

area = x² + 15x + 56

length = x - 7

Therefore,

x² - 15x + 56 = (x - 7) w

divide both sides by x - 7

w = x² - 15x + 56 / x - 7

w = (x - 7)(x - 8) / x - 7

A gardener has 27 pansies and 36 daisies. He plants an equal number of each type of flower in each row.What is the greatest possible number of pansies in each row?

Answers

There are 27 pansies.
The factors of 27 are (3,9)
Therefore,
Either (a) plant 3 pansies in 9 rows, or
(b) plant 9 pansies in 3 rows.

There are 36 daisies.
The factors of 36 are (3,12), (6,6) or (9,4).
Therefore
Either (a) plant 3 daisies in 12 rows, or
(b) plant 12 daisies in 3 rows, or
(c) plant 6 daisies in 6 rows, or
(d) plant 9 daisies in 4 rows, or
(e) plant 4 daisies in 9 rows.

Because each row has an equal number of pansies and daisies, the only common arrangements are
(a) 9 pansies and 12 daisies in 3 rows, or
(b) 3 pansies and 4 daisies in 9 rows.

To have the greatest number of daisies in each row means planting 9 pansies and 12 daisies in 3 rows.

Which is a counterexample that disproves the conjecture? After completing several multiplication problems, a student concludes that the product of two binomials is always a trinomial.

Answers

When you make the product of a binomial of the kind x + a times other binomial that is of the kind x - a, you obtain another binomial (not a trinomial), so any example with that form will be a counterexample that disproves the conjecture:

(x + a) * (x - a) = x^2 - a^2

For example, (x +3) * (x - 3) = x^2 - 9. So, not always the product of two binomials is a trinomial.

For large parties, a restaurant adds a 15% service charge to the bill. how much would be added to a bill of $638.40?

Answers

In restaurants, especially the fine dining ones, the bill includes a service charge. This payment is intended for the service given by the restaurant crew to make your experience in their premises worthwhile.

The service charge accounts for a fixed percentage of your total expenses. If your total expenses amount to $638.40, then the service charge would be equal to 638.4(0.15) = $95.7. Therefore, $95.7 will be added to your original bill.

Answer:

Service charge added to a bill of $638.40 is $95.76 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

For large parties, a restaurant adds a 15% service charge to the bill.

Bill of the parties is $638.40 .

15% is written in the decimal form

[tex]= \frac{15}{100}[/tex]

= 0.15

Thus

Service charge = 0.15 × Bill of the parties .

= 0.15 × $638.40

= $ 95.76

Therefore service charge added to a bill of $638.40 is $95.76 .
