A 17 ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 14 ft off the ground. Find x, the angle of elevation of the ladder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

55.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a right angled triangle, the length of the ladder (17ft) is the hypotenuse, the length of the ground (14ft) is the rise, we then use sin to get the angle as the angle of elevation is the angle between the ladder and the ground hence sin^-1 (14/17) and you get your angle.

Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x ≠ -4 or 16?

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{x^2-16}{(x-16)(x+4)}[/tex]

The numerator is a difference of squares

x² - 16 = (x - 4)(x + 4)

= [tex]\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{(x-16)(x+4) }[/tex] ← cancel the common factor (x + 4) on numerator/ denominator

= [tex]\frac{x-4}{x-16}[/tex] → C

One of the factors of x² + y² + 2xy - z² is ?​

Answers

Answer:

x + y + z.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + y² + 2xy - z²

= (x + y)^2 - z^2

This is the difference between 2 squares so the factors are:

(x + y + z) and (a + y - z).

Answer: The factors are (x+y+z) and (x+y-z)

In other words, it factors to (x+y+z)*(x+y-z)

=====================================================

Work Shown:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - z^2\\\\(x^2 + 2xy + y^2) - z^2\\\\(x+y)^2 - z^2\\\\(x+y+z)(x+y-z)\\\\[/tex]

Notes:

In the third step, I used the rule (A+B)^2 = A^2+2AB+B^2. For this, A = x and B = y.In the last step, I used the difference of squares factoring rule A^2-B^2 = (A+B)(A-B). In this case, A = x+y and B = z.

The volume of a one is 80 cubic cm what is the volume of the cylinder with the same base and height of the cone

Answers

Answer:

240 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone = 1/3(nr^2h)

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

n = 22/7

r = radius

The volume of a cone is 1/3 that of a cylinder

to determine the volume of the cylinder with the same parameters as a cylinder, multiply the volume of the cone by 3

80 x 3 = 240 cubic cm

Answers

The best function that models the data is f(x) = log StartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction, x not-equals 0

Find the table attached below

From the table shown,  we can see that when   x = 1/10, f(x) = 1

Similarly when x = 1/100, f(x) = 2

According to the law of logarithm, we can say that:

Log 10 = 1

Log 100 = 2 etc..

Recall that f(x) = 1 when x = 1/10, this means that;

F(x) = log 10

F(x) = log(1/1/10))

F(x) = log(1/x) since x = 1/10

Similarly if f(x) = 2 when x = 1/100

F(x) = log 100

F(x) = log(1/1/100))

F(x) = log(1/x) since x = 1/100 in this case

On a general note, we can conclude that f(x) = 1/x where x is not equal to zero.

On first day , the video was viewed = 320 times .

We are given that Each day since then, the number of views was 25% more than the day before. This means the likes are increasing 1.25 per day .

So, this situation forms G.P.

Answer:

70

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the angle of vertex in the isosceles triangle = 180-2*bottom coner= 180-65/2=50

3 angles in the equilateral triangle are equal to 60

we have 50 + 60 +h =the angle of PQR =180

h=70

Answer: h = 70°

In the triangle with Angle R = 65

It is a isoceles triangle as two sides are equal

So base angles will be equall too

Then the third angle will which is the q one will be

65+65+q = 180

q = 180 - 130

q = 50

In the other triangle with all sides equal will be equilateral triangle which means all angles equal = 60

So

Now ATQ

60 + 50 + h = 180

h = 180 - 110 (Angles on a straight line adds upto 180)

h = 70

It takes 5 minutes for 10 people to drink 25 pints of water. At this rate, how long would it take 15 people to drink 155 pints of water

the time taken for the 15 people to drink 155 pints is 20.67 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

10 people took 5 mins to drink 25 pints of water

[tex]The \ rate\ for \ 10 \ people = \frac{25 \ pints }{5 \ mins} = 5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\The \ rate \ for \ 1 \ person = \frac{5}{10} \ \frac{pints}{\min} = 0.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\The \ rate \ for \ 15 \ people = 15( 0.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} )= 7.5 \ \frac{pints}{\min} \\\\Time \ taken \ for \ the \ 15 \ people \ to \ drink \ 155 \ pints = \frac{155 \ pints}{7.5 \ pints/ \min} \\\\= 20.67 \min[/tex]

Therefore, the time taken for the 15 people to drink 155 pints is 20.67 min.
