A flagpole casts a shadow 3.5 meters long, Anita is standing near the pole. Her shadow is 0.75 meters long, Anita's height is 1.5 meters.How tall is the flagpole? Draw a diagram, label, and solve. Type your answer as a whole number or a decimal with no labels. EX5.2

Answers

Answer 1

Solution:

The heights and the shadows are in the same ratio because the sun is shining from the same angle, so the triangles formed are similar.

Notice that Anita's height is twice as long as her shadow, so the height of the flagpole will be

[tex]2\text{ x }3.5\text{ = 7m}[/tex]

We can also write a direct proportion:

[tex]\frac{x}{3.5}\text{ = }\frac{1.5}{0.75}\text{ }\frac{\leftarrow\text{heights}}{\leftarrow shadows}[/tex]

solving for x, we get:

[tex]x\text{ =}\frac{3.5\text{ x }1.5}{0.75}\text{ = 7m}[/tex]

then, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

[tex]x\text{ = 7m}[/tex]

What is the solution to the equation below?A.x = -1B.x = 0C.x = -5D.x = 3

Answers

Explanation

We must solve the following equation for x:

[tex]x+3=\sqrt{3-x}[/tex]

We can square both sides of the equation so we can get rid of the radical:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=(\sqrt{3-x})^2 \\ (x+3)^2=3-x \end{gathered}[/tex]

We expand the squared binomial on the left:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=x^2+6x+9=3-x \\ x^2+6x+9=3-x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then we substract (3-x) from both sides:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+6x+9-(3-x)=x-3-(3-x) \\ x^2+6x+9+x-3=0 \\ x^2+7x+6=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then we have to find the solutions to this last equation. Remember that the solutions to an equation of the form ax²+bx+c have the form:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In our case a=1, b=7 and c=6 so we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{7^2-4\cdot1\cdot6}}{2\cdot1}=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{49-24}}{2}=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{25}}{2}=\frac{-7\pm5}{2} \\ x=\frac{-7+5}{2}=-1\text{ and }x=\frac{-7-5}{2}=-6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So we have two potential solutions x=-1 and x=-6. However we should note something important, in the original equation we have the term:

[tex]\sqrt{3-x}[/tex]

Remember that the result of the square root is always positive. Then the term in the left of the expression has to be positive or 0. Then we impose a restriction in the value of x:

[tex]x+3\ge0\rightarrow x\ge-3[/tex]

From the two possible solutions only x=-1 is greater than or equal to -3 so this is the correct one.

From the number line given, we have the miles increasing from x all the way to 184. Similarly, we have the hours increasing all the way from 4 to 16.

To find out the value of x, we need to set up an equation that uses the ratio of both miles and hours. This is shown below;

[tex]\frac{x}{4}=\frac{184}{16}[/tex]

We now cross multiply and we have;

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 8.4 inches, and standard deviation of 1.4 inches.If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is less than 11.8 inches long?

Answers

We will make use of the z-score to calculate the probability. The z-score is calculated using the formula:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

where x is the score, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

From the question, we have the following parameters:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=11.8 \\ \mu=8.4 \\ \sigma=1.4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, we have the z-score to be:

[tex]\begin{gathered} z=\frac{11.8-8.4}{1.4} \\ z=2.43 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we can get the probability value to be:

[tex]P=0.9925[/tex]

The probability is 0.9925 or 99.25%.

Louis and Jenny each wrote an equation to represent the graphed linear function. Louis’s answer is y=2x. Jenny’s answer is y=x+2. Which student is correct?

Answers

Concept

First, find the slope of the line, and secondly use a slope-intercept form of the equation to find the equation of the line.

Step 1: find the slope

From the graph, choose two coordinates at the intercept

( 0, 2 ) and ( -2, 0 )

x1 = 0

y1 = 2

x2 = -2

y2 = 0

Substitute the values in slope equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope m = }\frac{rise}{\text{run}}\text{ }=\text{ }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ \text{Slope = }\frac{0-2}{-2-\text{ 0}} \\ \text{m = 1} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2: Find the intercept c

The intercept on the y-axis is c = 2

Step 3: Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form

y = mx + c

Step 4: substitute the values of m and c to find the equation

y = 1(x) + 2

y = x + 2

Circle 1:

Here we are given the diameter of the circle

D = 21 cm

[tex]C=\pi D=\frac{22}{7}\cdot21=22\cdot3=66\operatorname{cm}[/tex]

So, the circumference of the circle is 66 cm.

Circle 2:

Answers

The annual payment for the loan balance is $72,310.03.

What is the periodic payment?

The periodic payment is the amount that is paid per period (yearly, monthly, quarterly, or weekly) to repay a loan or a debt.

The periodic payment can be computed using an online finance calculator, making the following inputs.

N (# of periods) = 4 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 8%

PV (Present Value) = $239,500 ($260,500 - $5,500 - $8,500 - $7,000)

FV (Future Value) = $0

Results:

PMT = $72,310.03

Sum of all periodic payments = $289,240.13

Total Interest = $49,740.13

Thus, the annual payment that Larry needs to make is $72,310.03.

Using data from the previous table, construct an exponential model for this situation.A ( t ) =What will be the value when t=8, rounded to 2 decimal places?

Answers

Answer

• Exponential model

[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+0.25)^{t}[/tex][tex]A(8)\approx81.06[/tex]

Explanation

The exponential model equation can be given by:

[tex]A(t)=C(1+r)^t[/tex]

where C is the initial value, r is the rate of growth and t is the time.

We can get the initial value by evaluating in the table when t = 0. In this case the value A(0) = 13.60. Then our equation is:

[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+r)^t[/tex]

Now we have to get r by choosing any point and solving for r. For example, (3, 26.56). By replacing the values and solving we get:

[tex]26.56=13.60(1+r)^3[/tex][tex]\frac{26.56}{13.60}=(1+r)^3[/tex][tex](1+r)^3=\frac{26.56}{13.60}[/tex][tex]\sqrt[3]{(1+r)^3}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}[/tex][tex]1+r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}[/tex][tex]r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{26.56}{13.60}}-1\approx0.2500[/tex]

Thus, our rate is 0.25, and we can add it to our equation:

[tex]A(t)=13.60(1+0.25)^t[/tex]

Finally, we evaluate t = 8:

[tex]A(8)=13.60(1+0.25)^8=81.06[/tex]
