A telephone pole has a wire attached to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49 feet less than the height of the pole. If the wire is to be 14 feet longer than the height of the pole, what is the height of the pole?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  105 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the pole. Then (x -49) is the distance from the pole to the anchor point, and (x+14) is the length of the wire from the top of the pole to the anchor point.

The Pythagorean theorem gives us the relation ...

  (x +14)² = x² +(x -49)²

  x² +28x +196 = x² +x² -98x +2401 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x² -126x +2205 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form

  x² -126x +3969 -1764 = 0 . . . . "complete the square)

  (x -63) = ±√1764 . . . . . . add 1764, take the square root

  x = 63 +42 = 105 . . . . . . highest value root. The pole must be higher than 49 feet

The height of the pole is 105 feet.

Answer:

  B. x + y < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations can be cleared of fractions by multiplying by 15.

  15(2/3(x +1) -4/5y) = 15(1/3)

  10(x +1) -12y = 5

  10x -12y = -5

and

  15(2/5x +1/3(2y +1)) = 15(1/5)

You can find the solutions any way you like, but you can answer the question without doing that. The lines are not parallel, nor coincident, so there is exactly one solution. (choices C and D are incorrect)

If we can locate the solution relative to the line x + y = 0, we can tell if choice A or choice B is correct. A quick look at the intercepts of the equations tells us the solution cannot lie in quadrants 1 or 4. The negative y-intercept and shallow slope (-3/5) of the second equation tells us the solution must lie below the line x + y = 0. That means x+y < 0, choice B.

_____

In the attached graph, the line x+y=0 is dashed orange. Above that line, x+y>0; below that line, x+y<0. We see the intersection point of the red and blue lines is in the region where x+y < 0.

For standard form equation ax+by = c, the x- and y-intercepts are c/a and c/b, respectively, so are easy to find from that form. Knowing these makes it easy to make a sketch of the graph, locating the solution point relative to the line x+y = 0.

Yogi is 6 years older than Michelle. The sum of their ages is 26. Write a system of linear equations to represent this information. What are their ages?

Answers

Answer:

10 and 16, x+(x+6)=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle has an age we don't know, so we put her age as x.

Yogi is 6 years older than her, so her age is x+6

Michelle=x

Yogi=x+6

we know both their ages equal 26. so we set it up as

x+(x+6)=26

combining like terms we get

2x+6=26

subtract 6 from both sides

2x=20

divide both sides by 2

x=10

now that we have the value for x, we plug it into their original ages

Michelle is 10, because her age is just x.

Yogi is 16, because her age is x+6

Answers

Answer:

12,963.00 (in the US)12,96 (some other places)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, a decimal point is represented by a period. This value is interpreted as an integer with no fractional part, so the fractional part is zero:

 12,963.00

__

Some other places, a comma is used to identify the beginning of the decimal fraction. In that form, this number has a fractional part that has 3 as its thousandths digit. The value of 3 is less than 5, so the number is simply truncated at the hundredths place.

  12,96

If the thousandths digit were 5 or greater, then 1 hundredth would be added to the truncated number.

obtain the value of X for which (X+1),(X-5),(X-2) is a geometric progression.hence find the sum of the first 12 terms of the progression.​

Answers

If x + 1, x - 5, and x - 2 are in a geometric progression, then there is some constant r for which

x - 5 = r (x + 1)

==>   r = (x - 5) / (x + 1)

and

x - 2 = r (x - 5)

==>   r = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Then

(x - 5) / (x + 1) = (x - 2) / (x - 5)

Solve for x :

(x - 5)² = (x - 2) (x + 1)

x ² - 10x + 25 = x ² - x - 2

-9x = -27

x = 3

It follows that the ratio between terms is

r = (3 - 5) / (3 + 1) = -2/4 = -1/2

Now, assuming x + 1 = 4 is the first term of the G.P., the n-th term a(n) is given by

a(n) = 4 (-1/2)ⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the first 12 terms - denoted here by S - is then

S = 4 (-1/2)⁰ + 4 (-1/2)¹ + 4 (-1/2)² + … + 4 (-1/2)¹¹

Solve for S :

S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ + (-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + … + (-1/2)¹¹]

(-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)¹ + (-1/2)² + (-1/2)³ + … + (-1/2)¹²]

==>   S - (-1/2) S = 4 [(-1/2)⁰ - (-1/2)¹²]

==>   3/2 S = 4 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 8/3 (1 - 1/4096)

==>   S = 1365/512

The mean = ΣX / n

n = sample size ; ΣX = sum of values

The mean = 658 / 18

A function of the form f(x)=ab^x is modified so that the b value remains the same but the a value is increased by 2. How do the domain and range of a new function compare to the domain and range of the original function?

Answers

Answer:

The domain and range remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

First, we must determine what increasing a by 2 really does to the exponential function.

In f(x)=ab^x, a represents the initial value (y-intercept) of the function while b represents the common ratio for each consecutive value of f(x).

Increasing a by 2 means moving the y-intercept of the function up by 2. If the original function contained the point (0,x), the new function would contain the point (0,x+2).

The domain remains the same; it is still the set of all real x-values. This is true for any exponential function, regardless of any transformations.

The range remains the same as well; for the original function, it would have been [tex]y\neq 0[/tex]. Because increasing a by 2 does not move the entire function up or down, the range remains the same.

When a closed curve is parameterized by {x[t], y[t]}, then as you advance along the curve in the direction of the parameterization, which way do the tangent vectors {x'[t], y'[t]} at {x[t], y[t]} point; in the direction you are going, or in the direction opposite to the direction you are going?

Answers

Answer:

In the direction you are going,

Explanation:

We know that the tangent to  {x[t], y[t]} are  {x'[t], y'[t]}. Since  {x'[t], y'[t]} are tangents at  {x[t], y[t]}, we know that the tangent at a point is always parallel to the direction of the function at that point and in the direction of the function. So, the tangent vectors {x'[t], y'[t]} at {x[t], y[t]} point in my direction of motion as I move along the curve.

So, the tangent vectors {x'[t], y'[t]} at {x[t], y[t]} point in the direction you are going.

What does the slope of the line represent?
A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure
B. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 1000 kPa
C. the wind speed of a hurricane with an air pressure of 0 kPa
D. the change in wind speed for every hour

Answers

Answer:

A. the change in wind speed for every 1 kPa increase in air pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b;

where y, x are variables, m is the slope (rate of change) of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0)

Given the line y=−1.22x+1250 where x is the air pressure in millibars (kPa) and y is the wind speed in knots.

The slope of the line is -1.22. The slope means that there is a decrease in wind speed by 1.22 miles per hour for every increase of 1 kPa in air pressure.
