A lighthouse casts a 128-ft shadow. A nearby lamppost that measures 5
feet casts an 8-foot shadow. What is the height of the light house, rounded
to the nearest foot? *

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.

Consider the arithmetic senes 336+ 332+328+....+4 Numeric Response 1 The number of terms in the series above is (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below) Your answer DCC Numeric Response 2. The sum of the series above is (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below) ​

Answers

The first term in the series is 336. The second term is obtained by subtracting 4 from the first term; subtract 4 from that to get the third term; and so on. Then the n-th term in the series is

336 - 4 (n - 1)

or

340 - 4n

The last term in this series is 4, so we solve for n :

340 - 4n = 4

336 = 4n

n = 336/4 = 84

The sum of the series is then

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{84}(340-4n) = 340\sum_{n=1}^{84}1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{84}n[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{N} 1 = N[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2[/tex]

Then the sum we want is

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{84}(340-4n) = 340\times84 - 4\times\frac{84\times85}2 = \boxed{14,280}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × breadth

   = (2 + [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )(4-2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ) ← expand using FOIL

   = 8 - 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] + 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] - 4 ← collect like terms

   = 4 units²

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

The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent , so

When 3 liters of oil are removed from an upright cylindrical can, the level falls by 10cm. Find the radius of the can

Answers

Answer:

9.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder can be gotten with this formula

V=πr2h

h = height of the oil.

We were told that 3 litres of oil was removed, then, there is a falling in the level of oil by 10 cm, hence the height of the oil is now

h° =( h) - (0.1)

Then the new volume can be calculated as

V°= V - (3×10^-3)

But

volume= (π r2h°)

Then substitute we have

πr2h - 0.003 = π r2 (h-0.1)

If we open the bracket we have

0.003 = (πr2 ×0.1)

πr2=0.003/0.1

Then r=√ (0.03/0.1π)

=9.8 cm

Note that 1L = 10-3 m3

Question: "If y > 3, what is the value of n ?"

Answers

Answer:

y-3

Problem:

What is the remainder when the dividend is xy-3, the divisor is y, and the quotient is x-1. ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend=quotient×divisor+remainder

So we have

xy-3=(x-1)×(y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder *distributive property

Now we just need to figure out what polynomial goes in for the remainder so this will be a true identity.

We need to get rid of minus y so we need plus y in the remainder.

We also need minus 3 in the remainder.

So the remainder is y-3.

Let's try it out:

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+(y-3)

xy-3=xy-3 is what we wanted so we are done here.

B. Explain when it is appropriate to use the statement PT = TS.

Answers

Answer:

We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 of its sides being equal

With R, being the midpoint of PS, we can say that

PR=RS

Noting that, with R as midpoint, we can conclude that RT is a straight line which divides angles TPR and TSR into 2 right angle triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

therefore angle at P is 45°. Angle at S also 45°

Therefore PT = TS

This is because T is 45 degrees as well as P which is also 45 degrees

angle in triangle PTS is 180 degrees

R is 90 degrees, P is 45 degrees and the whole of T is also 45 degrees(which has been split into 2)

What are the solutions to the system of equations?

{y=2x²−6x+3
{y=x−2

Answers

Answer:

x = 1, y = −1

x = 5/2, y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

y = 2x² − 6x + 3 ........ (1)

y = x − 2 ...... (2)

We can obtain the solutions to the equation as follow:

y = 2x² − 6x + 3 ........ (1)

y = x − 2 ...... (2)

Substitute the value of y in equation 2 into equation 1

y = 2x² − 6x + 3

y = x − 2

2x² − 6x + 3 = x − 2

Rearrange

2x² − 6x − x + 3 + 2 = 0

2x² − 7x + 5 = 0

Solve by factorization

Obtain the product of 2x² and 5. The result is 10x².

Find two factors of 10x² such that their sum will result to −7x.

The factors are −2x and −5x.

Replace −7x in the equation above with −2x and −5x as shown below:

2x² − 2x − 5x + 5 = 0

2x(x − 1) − 5(x − 1) = 0

(x − 1)(2x − 5) = 0

x − 1 = 0 or 2x − 5 = 0

x = 1 or 2x = 5

x = 1 or x = 5/2

Substitute the value of x into equation 2 to obtain y

y = x − 2

x = 1

y = 1 − 2

y = −1

x = 5/2

y = x − 2

y = 5/2 − 2

y = (5 − 4)/2

y = 1/2

SUMMARY:

x = 1, y = −1

x = 5/2, y = 1/2

An employee is scheduled to work 40 hours per week at a base rate of $18.50 per hour. In addition to the 40 scheduled hours, the employee is asked to work 8 hours of overtime for one week due to staffing shortages. If overtime is paid at a rate of 1.5 times the base rate, how much will the employee earn for the week? (use $xxx.Xx format)

Answers

Answer:

$962.00

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start from the first sentence of the word problem and work from there.

First, the employee is working for 40 hours at $18.50 per hour. This means that for each hour, the employee is gaining $18.50 . This can be represented as $18.50 * 40 = $740 for their base pay.

Next, the employee works 8 hours of overtime at 1.5 * base pay (18.50). For each hour of overtime they work, they earn 1.5 * 18.50 = $27.75 dollars. Their earnings from overtime work for the week can be represented as

8 * 27.75 = $222

Because all the employee's hours are encompassed in overtime and base pay, we can add the two together to get

740 + 222 = $962.00 for their total pay for the week
