A pole that is 3.4 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.61 m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 36.75 m long. How tall is the building?
Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion with pole/building height on the top and shadow length on the bottom, using x for the unknown, which is the height of the building:

[tex]\frac{pole/building}{shadow}:\frac{3.4}{1.61}=\frac{x}{36.75}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve:

1.61x = 124.95 so

x = 78 m

Find the gradient of the line segment between the points (-5,2) and (4,3) give your answer in the simplest form

Answers

Answer: The gradient of the line segment between the points (-5,2) and (4,3) is [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for gradient of a line segment :

[tex]\text{Gradient}=\dfrac{\text{Difference between y-coordinates}}{\text{Difference between x-coordinates}}[/tex]

Given points of the line segment: (-5,2) and (4,3)

[tex]\text{Gradient} =\dfrac{3-2}{4-(-5)}[/tex]

What is the median of this set of data?

362, 187, 211, 298, 331, 250, 347, 199

Answers

Answer:

187, 199, 211, 250, 298, 331, 347, 362

[tex]median = {( \frac{n}{2} + 1) }^{th} \: value \\ = ( \frac{8}{2} + 1) {}^{th} \: value \\ = {5}^{th} \: value \\ median = 298[/tex]

Answer:

The median is the middle number in a set of data when the data is arranged in ascending (this is more common) or descending order. If there are an even number of values in the data set, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers. Thus, the median separates the lower and higher half of a data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The window of the school bus need to be washed by the end of the day. Mr.Casey washes 1/3 of the 33 before lunch. If Mr.Casey washes 8 of the remaining windows after lunch, how many windows still need to be washed by the end of the day? A 11 windows B 14 windows C 19 windows D 25 windows

Answers

Answer:

14 windows is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

windows washed before lunch = 1/3 of total windows

= 1/3 * 33

= 11 windows

windows washed after lunch = 8

windows remaining = total - washed before lunch - washed after lunch

remaining = 33 - 11 - 8

= 33 - 19

= 14 windows

find any 4 rational number between -1/2 and -1/3

Answers

Given:

The two numbers are [tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex].

To find:

The 4 rational numbers between the given numbers.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

First we need to make common denominators. So multiply and divide the first fraction by 3 and second fraction by 2.

[tex]-\dfrac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}=-\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1\times 2}{3\times 2}=-\dfrac{2}{6}[/tex]

We need to find 4 rational numbers between the given numbers. So, multiply and divide both fractions by five, (4+1=5).

[tex]-\dfrac{3\times 5}{6\times 5}=-\dfrac{15}{30}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{2\times 5}{6\times 5}=-\dfrac{10}{30}[/tex]

Now, the four numbers between -15 to -10 are -14, -13, -12, -11.

[tex]-15<-14<-13<-12<-11<-10[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{15}{30}<-\dfrac{14}{30}<-\dfrac{13}{30}<-\dfrac{12}{30}<-\dfrac{11}{30}<-\dfrac{10}{30}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}<-\dfrac{14}{30}<-\dfrac{13}{30}<-\dfrac{12}{30}<-\dfrac{11}{30}<-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the 4 rational number between the given numbers are [tex]-\dfrac{14}{30},\ -\dfrac{13}{30},\ -\dfrac{12}{30}\ -\dfrac{11}{30}[/tex].

How is the graph of y=5x^2-4 different from the graph of y=5x^2?

A. It is shifted 4 units to the left.

B. It is shifted 4 units to the right.

C. It is shifted 4 units down.

D. It is shifted 4 units up.

Answers

Answer:

C. It is shifted 4 units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shifted four units down. When a number is at the end of the equation, it means that that number shifts up or down depending on its sign.  

Answer:

It is shifted 4 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a function the constant number that is not multiplied by a variable, in this case, 4 in the first function, indicates where the function will intercept the y-axis, or when x is equal to 0.

In this case, we have two functions:

y = 5x^2 - 4, in which -4 is the constant that will determine where the function intercepts the y-axis. So if we say that we have x=0, then y=-4

In the second function we have:

y= 5x^2, this function is very similar but we don´t have another number after 5x^2, so we will have a similar graph but when x = 0 then y = 0.

So the first graph is shifted 4 units down. We can see this in the attachment.

It shifted 4 u it’s to the left

It is shifted 4 units to the left.

On a number line, graph all the temperature that are warmer than -2 degrees Celsius

Answers

The inequality would be x>2

(a) A temperature of -2 °C is warmer than a temperature of -5 °C as the temperature on the graph decreases.

(b)The inequality -2>-5 will be used to illustrate the connection between -2 and -5.

What is a graph?

A diagram depicting the relationship between two or more variables, each measured along with one of a pair of axes at right angles.

On a number line, graph all the temperature that are warmer than -2°C.

(a)-2 °C  temperature is warmer,As the temperature in the graph is decreasing,-2 °C temperature is warmer than -5 °C.

The inequality to express the relationship between -2 and -5 will be -2>-5.

Hence,temperature of -2 °C is warmer than a temperature of -5 °C as the temperature on the graph decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each side by -7 to get u = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

-7u = -21

To solve the problem we need to isolate u. Since -7 is being multiplied by u, we could divide to get rid of it.

Does f(x) = - 3x² + 6x - 4 have a maximum or
minimum? Find the value

Answers

Answer:

Maximum value.

it = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value as the coefficient of x^2  is negative.

To find this value we convert to vertex form:

y = -3x^2 + 6x - 4

y = -3(x^2 - 2x) - 4

y = -3[(x - 1)^2 - 1] - 4

y = -3(x - 1)^2 + 3 - 4

y = =3(x - 1)^2 - 1

Minimum value = -1.
