On an escalator, you move 2 feet vertically for every 3 feet you move horizontally. When you reach the top of the escalator, you have moved a horizontal distance of 90 feet. Find the height of the escalator.

On An Escalator, You Move 2 Feet Vertically For Every 3 Feet You Move Horizontally. When You Reach The

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the escalator is as calculated using trigonometric ratios.

We know that in a right angled triangle the trigonometric ratios are

tan θ = perpendicular ÷ base

For a right angled triangle the tanθ is defined as the ratio of the perpendicular to the base of the triangle . The side opposite the angle θ is the perpendicular and the side adjacent to the θ is the base .

Now it is given that for every 2 feet vertically moved the horizontal distance moved is 3 feet.

Now using the trigonometric ratio of tanθ

tan θ = 2 / 3

Now we will use this ratio to calculate the vertical height for horizontal movement of 90 feet .

Now, the height is given as h .

∴ tan θ = h / 90

or, 2 / 3 = h / 90

or, h = 60 feet

Therefore the height of the escalator is 60 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the total number of students the pie chart will represent:

17 + 35 + 38 = 90

So you know, 360° represents 90 people

You can then find out the angle for each person: 360 ÷ 90 = 4

Each person is 4°

a)

1. 17 people took French so you would do 4° × 17 = 68°

2. 35 people took German so you would do 4° × 35 = 140°

3. 38 people took Italian so you would do 4° × 38 = 152°

b)

17 out of 90 people chose french so the probability would be 17/90

The fire department is setting off fireworks. They notice that the casings of the fireworks hit the ground 78 seconds after the firework was launched. The firework exploded at a maximum height of 760.5 meters.

Identify how you see the x- and y-intercepts and vertex in the table, graph, and equation. (Hint: You may want to rewrite the equation in equivalent forms.)

Answers

The firework is an illustration of the equation of a parabola.

The x-intercepts are 0 and 78, the y-intercept is 0, and the vertex is (39,760.5)

The casings hit the ground after 78 seconds.

This means that, a point on the graph is:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (78,0)}[/tex]

The firework exploded at a maximum of 760.5.

This means that, the vertex is:

[tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (39,760.5)}[/tex]

The equation of a parabola is:

[tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = a(78 - 39)^2 + 760.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{0 = a(39)^2 + 760.5}[/tex]

Subtract 760.5 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{a(39)^2 =- 760.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1521a =- 760.5}[/tex]

Solve for a

[tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{760.5}{1521}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{a =- 0.5}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{a =- 0.5}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (39,760.5)}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -0.5(x - 39)^2 + 760.5}[/tex]

See attachment for the graph of [tex]\mathbf{y = -0.5(x - 39)^2 + 760.5}[/tex].

From the graph:

The x and y intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x and y axes. The vertex is the maximum point on the graph

From the equation:

Set x to 0, to calculate the value of y for the y-interceptSet y to 0, to calculate the value of x for the x-intercept.The vertex is represented as: (h,k)

Hence, the x-intercepts are 0 and 78, the y-intercept is 0, and the vertex is (39,760.5)

z-16z=15 what is z please

Answers

Answer:

z is equal to -0.88235294117

Step-by-step explanation:

so you first need to do is z minus 16z which is -17z.

you now have -17z is 15

you need to divide each side by -17z

so -17z divided by -17 is 1 z

and 15 divided by -17 is -0.88235294117

so z is equal to -0.88235294117

Hey there!

z - 16z = 15

-15z = 15

DIVIDE -15 to BOTH SIDES

-15z/-15 = 15/-15

CANCEL out: -15/-15 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 15/-15 because gives you the result of the z-value

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3x - 9 = 2x + 21 \\ 3x - 2x - 9 = 2x - 2x + 21 \\ x - 9 = 21 \\ x - 9 + 9 = 21 + 9 \\ x = 30[/tex]

m<DGI = 80°

[tex]3x - 9 = \\ 3(30) - 9 = \\ 90 - 9 = 81[/tex]

The measure of angle ∠DGI can be obtained by finding the solution of the equation as 81°.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation in two variable has the general form as y = ax + by + c, where a, b and c are integers and a, b ≠ 0.

It can be represented as a straight line on a graph.

The ray GI bisects ∠DGH.

It implies that the new angles are equal in measurement.

⇒ m∠DGI = m∠IGH

⇒ 3x - 9 = 2x + 21

⇒ x = 30

Then, in order to calculate m∠DGI, plug x = 30 in  3x - 9 as,

3 × 30 - 9 = 81

Hence, the measure of angle ∠DGI is given as 81°.

b = y-5x

Step-by-step explanation:

y =5x+b  

Step 1- Cancelation minus or add the numeric first both side then variable numbers, then variables then exponents ^2 last.

In this case if we were asked to find x we would divide both sides by 5. But we are not asked that and instead asked to find b so we just apply and keep 5x together through add or subtraction.

For exponents we sqrt both sides. But this equation doesnt show any exponents so we stop at -5 each side.

y-5x=b

Step 2 - keep doing to isolate b we have no more to change other than reverse to show b first.

b = y-5x

by what percentage did the high temperature increase from friday to saturday ? round ur answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must find the actual decrease in temperature.

Decrease = Yesterday's temperature - Today's temperature

Decrease = 80 - 75

Decrease = 5 degrees

Now, find the percentage decrease.

% Decrease = Actual decrease / Yesterday's temperature x 100

% Decrease = 5/80 x 100

% Decrease = 0.0625 x 100

% Decrease = 6.25 %

So, the percent decrease in high temperature from yesterday to today is 6.25%

Answer:

our vertex for f(x) = 3x² + 18x + 32 = (-3, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

let me write the standard form of a quadratic equation

[tex]a {x}^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

Now let me rewrite the original equation

[tex]3 {x}^{2} + 18x + 32[/tex]

Now we use this simple formula to find the vertex (h, k)

[tex]x = h = - \frac{b}{2a} \\ = - \frac{18}{2(3)} = - \frac{18}{6} = - 3 \\ h = - 3[/tex]

substitute -3 for x back into our original equation to solve for y our k value of our vertex

[tex]y = 3 ({ - 3})^{2} + 18( - 3) + 32 \\ = 3(9) - 54 + 32 \\ = 27 + 32 - 54 \\ = 59 - 54 \\ k = 5[/tex]

our vertex for f(x) = 3x² + 18x + 32 = (-3, 5 )
