A Length Of Top Is Stretched Between The Top Edge Of A Building And A Stake In The Ground The Head Of

Answers

Answer 1

The relationship between the rope, the building, the tree and the ground is an illustration of similar triangles and equivalent ratios.

The building is 76ft tall

The height of the tree is given as:

[tex]Height = 38ft[/tex]

The position of the tree is halfway between the building and the stake.

From the figure, the rope touches the top of the building, and the top of the tree.

This means that: the height of the building is twice the height of the tree.

So, we have:

[tex]Building=2\times 38ft[/tex]

[tex]Building=76ft\\[/tex]

Hence, the building is 76ft tall

Find the value of X.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex] x = \frac{21 - 3y - 3z}{4} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:-To find value of x

Equation:-x + 3x + 3y + 3z = 21

Solution:-

=> x + 3x + 3y + 3z = 21

[On adding like terms x and 3x]

=> 4x + 3y + 3z = 21

[On subtracting both sides with 3y]

=> 4x + 3y + 3z - 3y = 21 - 3y

[On Simplification]

=> 4x + 3z = 21 - 3y

[On subtracting both sides with 3z]

=> 4x + 3z - 3z = 21 - 3y - 3z

[On Simplification]

=> 4x = 21 - 3y - 3z

[On dividing both sides with 4]

[tex] = > \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{21 - 3y - 3z}{4} [/tex]

[On Simplification]

[tex] = > x = \frac{21 - 3y - 3z}{4} (ans)[/tex]

Given :

x + 3x + 3y + 3z = 21

To Find :

The value of x

Solution :

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{x + 3x + 3y + 3z = 21}}}[/tex]

Adding the like terms :

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{4x + 3y + 3z = 21}}}[/tex]

Transposing 3y to the other side which then becomes negative :

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{4x + 3z = 21 - 3y}}}[/tex]

Now, Transposing 3z to the other side which then becomes negative :

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{4x = 21 - 3y - 3z}}}[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4 :

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{ \dfrac{4x}{4} = \dfrac{21 - 3y - 3z}{4} }}}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{{x} = \dfrac{21 - 3y - 3z}{4} }}}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x = 21 – 3y – 3z/4

The required equation that represents the graph is y = x + 30

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, and only a constant and a first-order (linear) term are included. The variables in the preceding equation are y and x, and it is occasionally referred to as a "linear equation of two variables."

The standard linear equation is given as y = mx + b

Where,

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Using the coordinates (20, 50) and (40, 70)

Get the slope of the line:

m = 70-50/40-20

m = 20/20

m = 1

Since the line cuts the y-axis at y = 30, hence the y-intercept is 30.

Therefore, the Required equation that Shows the graph is y = x + 30

if you plug in 14,000 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780

new machine: 2,780

therefore, you need 1 over 14,000 for it to be worth it because

if you plug in 14,001 for x, you get

old machine: 2,780.12

new machine: 2,780.09

Deondra needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 624 glasses. There are currently 344 glasses. If each set on sale contains 20 glasses, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine ss, the number of sets of glasses Deondra could buy for the restaurant to have enough glasses

Answers

Writing and solving an inequality to model the situation, it is found that Deondra could buy 14 sets of glasses for the restaurant to have enough glasses.

There are currently 344 glasses.In each set bought, there are 20 glasses.

Hence, the total of glasses after s sets are bought is given by:

[tex]T(s) = 344 + 20s[/tex]

The restaurant needs at least 624 glasses, hence:

[tex]T(s) \geq 624[/tex]

[tex]344 + 20s \geq 624[/tex]

Solving the inequality:

[tex]344 + 20s \geq 624[/tex]

[tex]20s \geq 280[/tex]

[tex]s \geq \frac{280}{20}[/tex]

find the value of x {0<x<(π/2)} satisfying (cos x / cosec x + 1) + (cos x / cosec x-1) = 2 ​

Answers

In attachment I have answered this problem.

The value of x {0 < x < (π/2)} satisfying (cos x / cosec x + 1) + (cos x / cosec x-1) = 2 ​is x = π/4.

Since cos x /(cosec x + 1) + cos x /(cosec x - 1) = 2 ​

Taking the L.C.M (cosecx + 1)(cosecx - 1), we have

[cosx(cosecx - 1) + cosx(cosecx + 1)]/(cosecx + 1)(cosecx - 1) = 2

[cosxcosecx - cosx + cosxcosecx + cosx]/(cosec²x - 1²) = 2

[cosx/sinx - cosx + cosx/sinx + cosx]/(cosec²x - 1²) = 2

[cotx - cosx + cotx + cosx]/(cosec²x - 1) = 2

collecting like terms, we have

[cotx + cotx + cosx - cosx ]/(cosec²x - 1) = 2

[2cotx + 0]/(cosec²x - 1) = 2

2cotx/(cosec²x - 1) = 2

cotx/(cosec²x - 1) = 1

Since cot²x + 1 = cosec²x ⇒ cot²x = cosec²x - 1

So, cotx/(cosec²x - 1) = 1

cotx/cot²x = 1

1/cotx = 1

tanx = 1

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

x = tan⁻¹(1)

x = 45°

x = 45 × π/180

x = π/4

So, the value of x {0 < x < (π/2)} satisfying (cos x / cosec x + 1) + (cos x / cosec x-1) = 2 ​is x = π/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the equation of the line

2) The equation of the line is y = - x - 4

3) Identify where the graph is shaded

4) It is shaded above and to the right of the line

5) This means that it is more positive/ greater than the unshaded areas

6) Switch the = sign to > to signify the inequality

7) All done!

Step-by-step explanation:

the delimiter line is going through the points (-4, 0) and (0, -4).

the line function

y = mx + b

m is the slope of the line, b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point to another.

so, for the 2 found points :

x changes by +4 (from -4 to 0)

y changes by -4 (from 0 to -4).

the slope m is then

-4/+4 = -1

and the y-intercept is -4 (as explained).

so, the line is

y = -x - 4

and the graphic says that all values greater than our equal to the line values are valid, so
