2. A tree casts a shadow 25m long. At the same time, a signpost next
to the tree casts a shadow 6m long. The signpost is 3.5m tall. How
tall is the tree?
(10 pts.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the tree is 14.85[tex]\bar 3[/tex] m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shadow cast by the tree = 25 m

The length of the shadow cast by the signpost = 6 m

The height of the signpost = 3.5 m

Therefore, by similar triangles, we have;

Let θ, represent the angle formed by the line extending a line from the tip of the shadow, to the tip of the object and let x represent the height of the tree, we have

Tan(θ) = Opposite/Adjacent = Height of the object/(The length of the shadow)

∴ Tan(θ) = 3.5/6 = x/25

x = 25 × 3.5/6 = 14.58[tex]\bar 3[/tex]

The height of the tree = x = 14.85[tex]\bar 3[/tex] m

The following tables describe arithmetic sequences

(a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn?

(b) what is x8? what is x12?

(c) what is the common difference of the sequence am?

(d) what is a12? what is a15?

Answers

Answer:

a) the common difference is 20

b) [tex]x_8=115 , x_{12}=195[/tex]

c) the common difference is -13

d) [tex]a_{12}=52, a_{15}=13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) what is the common difference of the sequence xn

Looking at the table, we get x_3=16, x_4=36 and x_5= 56

Deterring the common difference by subtracting x_4 from x_3 we get

36-16 =20

So, the common difference is 20

b) what is x_8? what is x_12

The formula used is: [tex]x_n=x_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

We know common difference d= 20, we need to find [tex]x_1[/tex]

Using [tex]x_3=16[/tex] we can find [tex]x_1[/tex]

[tex]x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_3=x_1+(3-1)d\\15=x_1+2(20)\\15=x_1+40\\x_1=15-40\\x_1=-25[/tex]

So, We have [tex]x_1 = -25[/tex]

Now finding [tex]x_8[/tex]

[tex]x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_8=x_1+(8-1)d\\x_8=-25+7(20)\\x_8=-25+140\\x_8=115[/tex]

So, [tex]\mathbf{x_8=115}[/tex]

Now finding [tex]x_{12}[/tex]

[tex]x_n=x_1+(n-1)d\\x_{12}=x_1+(12-1)d\\x_{12}=-25+11(20)\\x_{12}=-25+220\\x_{12}=195[/tex]

So, [tex]\mathbf{x_{12}=195}[/tex]

c) what is the common difference of the sequence [tex]a_m[/tex]

Looking at the table, we get a_7=104, a_8=91 and a_9= 78

Deterring the common difference by subtracting a_7 from a_8 we get

91-104 =-13

So, the common difference is -13

d) what is a_12? what is a_15?

The formula used is: [tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

We know common difference d= -13, we need to find [tex]a_1[/tex]

Using [tex]a_7=104[/tex] we can find [tex]x_1[/tex]

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\104=a_1+7(-13)\\104=a_1-91\\a_1=104+91\\a_1=195[/tex]

So, We have [tex]a_1 = 195[/tex]

Now finding [tex]a_{12}[/tex] , put n=12

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{12}=a_1+(12-1)d\\a_{12}=195+11(-13)\\a_{12}=195-143\\a_{12}=52[/tex]

So, [tex]\mathbf{a_{12}=52}[/tex]

Now finding [tex]a_{15}[/tex] , put n=15

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_{15}=a_1+(15-1)d\\a_{15}=195+14(-13)\\a_{15}=195-182\\a_{15}=13[/tex]

So, [tex]\mathbf{a_{15}=13}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first step is the critical one. Take the base and raise it to x. Then take the log of the base and the number whose log you need. x (the power)is brought down and the logs divided.

2^x = 1024

log 2^x = log(1024)

x log(2) = log(1024)

x * 0.30102 = 3.0102

x = 30102/0.30102

x = 10

You could use the e system to solve this as well

2^x = 1024

ln(2^x) = ln(1024)

x * ln(2) = ln(1024)

x 0.6931 = 6.9315

x = 6.9315/0.69315

x = 9.999959

x = 10

What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

Kat has 19 coins, all quarters and dimes, that are worth a total of $4.

The system of equations that can be used to find the number of quarters, q, and the number of dimes, d, she has is shown.

           q + d = 19

                 d = 19 – q ...1

0.25q + 0.1d = 4        ...2

Solve the equation, we have

0.25q + 0.1(19 – q) = 4

0.25q – 0.1q + 1.9 = 4

                     0.15q = 2.1

                           q = 14

Then the correct option is C.

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

2x + 5y = 16

3x - 5y = -1

Step 2: Solve for x

Eliminate y (add equations):                   5x = 15Divide 5 on both sides:                           x = 3

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation:                          2x + 5y = 16Substitute in x:                             2(3) + 5y = 16Multiply:                                        6 + 5y = 16Subtract 6 on both sides:            5y = 10Divide 5 on both sides:               y = 2

Answer:

(3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 16 ........ (1)

3x - 5y = - 1 ......... (2)

(1) + (2)

( 2x + 3x ) + [ 5y + ( - 5y)] = 16 + (- 1)

5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3

2(3) + 5y = 16 ⇒ y = 2

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line x+y=4

Answers

Answer:

The equation of required line is: [tex]\mathbf{x+y=5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line x+y=4

For finding an equation of line, we need to find slope and y-intercept of the line.

Finding slope:

If the lines are parallel their slope is same

We are given: x+y=4

Writing in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is slope and b is y-intercept

[tex]x+y=4\\y=-x+4[/tex]

Comparing [tex]y=-x+4[/tex] with [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] the slope m is -1

So, slope of given line is -1

It is parallel with required line, so they have same slope.

The slope of required line is m=-1

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m=-1 and point(2,3) we can find y-intercept

Using slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

[tex]y=mx+b\\3=-1(2)+b\\3=-2+b\\b=3+2\\b=5[/tex]

So, y-intercept is: b=5

The equation of required line having slope m=-1 and y-intercept b = 5 is

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=-1x+5\\y=-x+5\\x+y=5[/tex]

So, equation of required line is: [tex]\mathbf{x+y=5}[/tex]

The equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line x+y=4 is y  =  -x  +  5

Two equations are parallel if they have equal slope

For the equation x + y = 4

Rewrite the equation in the form y = mx + c

y  =  -x  +  4

Compare y = -x + 4 with y = mx + c

The slope, m = -1

The equation parallel to x + y = 4 will also have a slope, m = -1

The line passes through the point (2, 3)

That is, x₁ = 2, y₁ = 3

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y - y₁  =  m(x  -  x₁)

Substitute x₁ = 2, y₁ = 3 into y - y₁  =  m(x  -  x₁)

y - 3 = -1(x  - 2)

y - 3 = -x + 2

y  =  -x  +  2  +  3

y  =  -x  +  5

The equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and is parallel to the line x+y=4 is y  =  -x  +  5

Geometry! Find the length of a-b. Give answer in simplest radical form.

Answers

Answer:

Length of AB is [tex]\sqrt{106}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the rule of the distance To find the length of AB

∵ A = (9, -3)

∵ B = (0, 2)

x1 = 9 and y1 = -3

x2 = 0 and y2 = 2

∵ AB = [tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}[/tex]

→ Substitute the values of x1, x2, y1, and y2 in the rule to find AB

∴ AB = [tex]\sqrt{(0-9)^{2}+(2--3)^{2}}[/tex]

∴ AB = [tex]\sqrt{(-9)^{2}+(2+3)^{2}}[/tex]

∴ AB = [tex]\sqrt{81+(5)^{2}}[/tex]

∴ AB = [tex]\sqrt{81+25}[/tex]

∴ AB = [tex]\sqrt{106}[/tex]

→ The square root of 106 is the simplest radical form
