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 23 feet less than the height of the pole. If the wire is to be 9 feet longer than the height of the pole, what is the height of the pole?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the pole. Then the distance to the anchor point is (x-23), and the length of the wire is (x+9). The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relation between these values is ...

  (x+9)² = x² +(x -23)²

  0 = x² -64x +448 . . . . . subtract the left side, put in standard form

  0 = (x -8)(x -56) . . . . . . factor

The solutions to the quadratic are x=8 and x=56. For our purposes, we require x > 23 so the distances are positive. That means x=56 is the solution of interest.

The pole is 56 feet tall.

Question
The value of y varies directly as the cube of u and y = 54 when I = 3. Find the equation that represents this relationship.

Answers

Answer:

2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents this relationship will be y = 2u³.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The value of y varies directly as the cube of u. y = 54 when u = 3.

y ∝ u³

Removed the proportionality constant and place the equal sign with constant k.

y = ku³

Put y = 54 when u = 3, then the value of k will be

54 = k (3)³

54 = 27k

k = 2

Then the equation that represents this relationship will be

y = 2u³

The equation that represents this relationship will be y = 2u³.

Tinley is training to run a half-marathon. She sets a pace so that every mile takes
7 minutes.

Write an equation for the amount of time,
t, it takes Tinley to run
m miles.

Answers

Answer:

t=7m

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, "t" represents time, and "m" represents miles. Each mile is 7 minutes. To find how much time this run will take her, multiple the amount of miles she will run by 7.

For example:

If Tinley runs 13 miles you should do-

7(13)= 91

13 miles would take Tinley 91 minutes

find equation of the line that contains the point (4,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y= _2x+8

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.

The first line is y = -2x + 8. Its slope is -2. A line perpendicular to this one will  have a slope of 1/2.

Plug this value (1/2) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1/2x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-2 = 1/2(4) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (4)

-2 = 2 + b

Now, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate b.

-4 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 1/2x - 4

This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -2x + 8) and contains point (4, -2)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  y = 1/2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume the given line is ...

  y = -2x +8

This is in slope-intercept form, which allows us to determine easily that the slope of this line is -2.

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of -2:

  m = -1/(-2) = 1/2

The y-intercept of the desired line can be found from the point (x, y) = (4, -2) using the equation ...

  b = y - mx

  b = -2 -(1/2)(4) = -4

Now, we know the slope and y-intercept of the desired perpendicular line through (4, -2), so we can write its equation as ...

  y = 1/2x -4

In 1980 more than 35% of cars purchased had a manual transmission (i.e. stick shift). By 2007 the proportion had decreased to 7.7%. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of 133 cars, 31 had stick shifts. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive sticks with 90% confidence. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to at least three decimal places. <

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who drive sticks is (0.173, 0.293).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of 133 cars, 31 had stick shifts.

This means that [tex]n = 133, \pi = \frac{31}{133} = 0.233[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.233 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.233*0.767}{133}} = 0.173[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.233 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.233*0.767}{133}} = 0.293[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who drive sticks is (0.173, 0.293).

Workout the probability that spinner A lands on 2 and spinner b does not land on b

Answers

Spinner diagram isn't attached. A related spinner diagram has been attached below to provide an hypothetical solution to the problem

Answer:

4 / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For the numbered spinner :

P(landing on 2) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3) = 3

Required outcome = (1) = 1

P(landing on 2) = 1 /3

Lettered spinner :

P(does not land on b)

Total possible outcomes = (A, B, C, D, E)

Required outcome = (a, c, d, e)

P(does not land on b) = 4 / 5

Hence,

P(lands on 2, does not land on b) in this scenario is :

1/3 * 4/5 = 4 / 15

-6(2p + 1) = -7p - 31

Answers

Answer:

P=5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(2p + 1) = -7p - 31

Expand -6(2p+1)

Apply distributive law;

a=-6, b=2p, c=1

=-6*2p+(-6)*1

=-6*2p-6*1

Simplify; -6*2p-6*1

=-12p-6

-12p-6=-7p-31

Add 6 to both sides;

-12p-6+6=-7p-31+6

simplify;

-12p=-7p-25

Add 7p to both sides;

-12p+7p=-7p-25+7p

Simplify;

-5p=-25

Divide both sides by -5

-5p/-5=-25/-5

Simplify:

p=5

Answered by the One and Only #DrippQueenMo

Answer:

p=5

Step-by-step explanation:

first you want to get rid of the parentheses in -6(2p+1) so take -6 and times it by 2p and 1 to get -12p-6. You can do this because of the distributive property. Now you have the equation -12p - 6 = -7p - 31. So now you want to get the p values on one side. Adding 7p to both sides of the equations get rid of the -7p. -12p + 7p equals -5p so now you have the equation -5p - 6 = -31. so now you need to get the whole numbers on one side. So add 6 to both sides so you can get rid of the -6. this leaves you with the equation -5p= -25. Now to find the value of p you divide both sides by -5. This gives you p = 5.

82x - 61 = 180

82x = 180 + 61

82x  = 241

Divide both sides by 82

82x/82 = 241/82

x = 2.93
