a 24 foot tall streetlight casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. how long of a shadow is cast by a nearby parking meter post that is 4 feet high?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 4/24 = 1/6 as tall as the streetlight, so we expect its shadow to be 1/6 as long as that of the streetlight:

  (1/6)(18 ft) = 3 ft

The parking meter post shadow is 3 feet long.

The Cobb-Douglas production model is a function that relates production outputs with a combination of different inputs. Agricultural data from 44 countries around the world, concerning agricultural production Q, labor L, capital K, fertilizer F, and hectares of arable land H, can be used to create an agricultural production model for countries using a Cobb-Douglas function given by

Q= 3.41 L^0.266 .K^2.06 F^0.299.H^1.41

The exponents in the Cobb-Douglas model are called elasticities. Find the percentage increment in production if a country has a 1% increase in Labor.

Answers

Answer:

0.266 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

With labor increasing by 1 percent, we are to find how much level of production would also increase given the coubglas function in the question.

Level of production = ∆Q/Q

We differentiate the function Q with respect to Labour, L.

∆Q/∆L = 0.266Q/L

∆Q/Q = 0.266∆L/L

∆L/L = 1

∆Q/Q x 100 = 1 *0.266

= 0.266%

x2 – 12x = 39

Please help me solve this! I need the answer ASAP

Answers

Answer:

x = 6 ± 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 12x = 39

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = 39 + 36

(x - 6)² = 75 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 6 = ± [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] = ± 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 6 ± 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ← solutions in exact form

Answer:

x = 6 ± 5* OR 6 - 5*

Step-by-step explanation:

In decimal form it would be either 14.66025403... or -2.66025403

TU = 28.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are congruent because of side-angle-side

TU = VU because corresponding sides of congruent triangles are congruent.

so:

3x + 9 = 7x - 17

simplify:

4x = 26

x = 6.5

TU = 3(6.5 + 9) = 19.5 + 9 = 28.5

Answer:

3x+9=7x-17

26 = 4x

x=6.5

TU:28.5

Write the factored form of the third-degree polynomial
function that has a positive leading coefficient and a
zero at x= -3 with a multiplicity of 3.

Answer:

[tex]a(x+3)^3, a \neq 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n}[/tex] such that it can be written as: [tex]a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n)[/tex], in which a is the leading coefficient.

Zero at x= -3 with a multiplicity of 3.

This means that:

[tex]x_1 = x_2 = x_3 = -3[/tex]

So

[tex]a(x - (-3))*(x - (-3))*(x-(-3)) = a(x+3)(x+3)(x+3) = a(x+3)^3[/tex]

Positive leading coefficient

Answer:

missing angle = 30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

all triangles have an interior angle or 180 degrees.

to find the missing angle, just take the know angles and add them together:

120 + 30 = 150

then take the sum and subtract it from 180:

180 - 150 = 30

120° +30° +z=180°150° +z =180°z= 180°-150°z=30°
