a 25 -ft ladder rests against the side of a house. the distance between the top of the lader and the ground is 17 ft more than the distance between the base od the ladder and the bottom of the house. find both distances. ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + (x + 17)² = 25²

x² + x² + 34x + 289 = 625

2x² + 34x - 336 = 0

x² + 17x - 168 = 0

x = (-17 ±√(17² - 4(1)(-168))) / (2(1))

x = 7 or - 24   the negative distance makes no sense, but if we plug our good answer of 7 ft in for the base length, the height comes out to be + 24 ft

base = 7 ft

height = 24 ft

9. A cheetah is located 100 yards away from an antelope. The cheetah begins running on a straight path toward the antelope at a constant speed of 30 yards per second. At the same time, the antelope begins running away from the cheetah at a constant speed of 25 yards per second. If both animals continue to run on a straight path at the same speeds, how long will it take for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope?​

Answers

It takes 20 seconds for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope

Speed is the ratio of distance to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let d represent the distance covered by the cheetah at time t, hence:

30 = d / t

t = d / 30

The antelope is 100 yards away, hence:

25 = (d - 100) / t

t = (d - 100)/25

d/30 = (d - 100)/25

25d = 30d - 3000

d = 600 yards

t = d/30 = 600/30 = 20 seconds

It takes 20 seconds for the cheetah to catch up to the antelope

Explain two ways you can benchmark percents to find 60% of 280

Answers

Answer:

The most common benchmark percents are 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.

To find 60% of 280 we first find 10% of 280 which is 28. 6 x 28 = 168.

To find 60% of 280 we first find 50% of 280 which is 140. Now we add 10% which we calculated before: 140 + 28 = 168.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explain two ways you can benchmark percents to find 60% of 280

1) 280 : 100 * 60 = 168

A company makes 110 bags. 30 of the bags have buttons but no zips. 23 of the bags have zips but no buttons. 23 of the bags have neither zips nor buttons. How many bags have zips on them?

Answers

Well, 30+23+23 = 76 which means there are only a total of 76 bags that are accounted for. 110-76 = 34 bags which we do not know if they have zips or not. If we assume they have zips, that would be 34+23 bags with zips which is 57 bags.

34 of the bags have zips on them

The monthly rent for an 800 square foot office is $975. For an 1100 square foot office, the rent is $1125. WRITE AND SOLVE A LINER EQUATION to find the monthly rent for a 1500 square foot office.

I need help and pls do it in The liner equation way which is also given two points.

Answers

Answer:

$1325

Step-by-step explanation:

Translate the given into two pairs of coordinates:

(800, 975) and (1100, 1125)

Work out the equation of the line passing through both of the points.

Find the slope:

m = (1125 - 975) / (1100 - 800) = 0.5

Find the y-intercept:

975 = 0.5*800 + b975 = 400 + bb = 975 - 400b = 575

The line is:

y = 0.5x + 575

Find the value of y when x = 1500:

y = 0.5*1500 + 575 = 1325

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, but like they say in Vegas, you're trying to make your point the hard way.

8 * (8 - 4)              So the distributive property is means remove the brackets.

8*8 - 4*8               What you have done is multiply the numbers on either side of the - sign by 8. It is a good practice NOT to destroy the minus sign just yet.

64 - 32

32                          The answer is 32. That's how the distributive property works

With this question only It might be easier to do what is inside the brackets first. That's making your point the easy way.

8*(8-4) = 8* 4 = 32

Fit a quadratic function to these three points:

(−2, 8), (0, −4), and (4, 68)

A. y = −2x2 − 2x − 4

B. y = −2x2 + 2x − 4

C. y = 4x2 + 2x − 4

D. y = −4x2 − 2x − 4

Answers

Answer:    y= 4x² +2x -4

C. y = 4x2 + 2x − 4

Step-by-step explanation:  f(x)=4x^2+2x-4

Given three points

P1(-2,8)

P2(0,-4)

P3(4,68)

We need the quadratic equation that passes through all three points.

Solution:

We first assume the final equation to be

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c .............................(0)

Observations:

1. Points are not symmetric, so cannot find vertex visually.

2. Using the point (0,-4) we substitute x=0 into f(x) to get

f(0)=0+0+c=-4, hence c=-4.

3. We will use the two other points (P1 & P3) to set up a system of two equations to find a and b.

f(-2)=a(-2)^2+b(-2)-4=8 => 4a-2b-4=8.................(1)

f(4)=a(4^2)+b(4)-4=68 =>  16a+4b-4=68.............(2)

4. Solve system

2(1)+(2) => 24a+0b-12=84 => 24a=96 => a=96/24 => a=4 ......(3)

substitute (3) in (2) => 16(4)+4b-4=68 => b=8/4 => b=2  ..........(4)

5. Put values c=-4, a=4, b=2 into equation (0) to get

f(x)=4x^2+2x-4

Check:

f(-2)=4((-2)^2)+2(-2)-4=16-4-4=8

f(0)=0+0-4 = -4

f(4)=4(4^2)+2(4)-4=64+8-4=68

So all consistent, => solution ok.

Answer:

y = 4x² + 2x − 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-values go down and up again, so the parabola opens upward. That means the x² coefficient must be positive. All answer choices are eliminated except one.

y = 4x² +2x -4

 There are other ways to get the answer. One of them is to use the quadratic regression function of a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. The one attached shows the points are matched by the equation ...

A shipment contains 10 igneous, 8 sedimentary, and 8 metamorphic rocks If 8 rocks are selected at random, find the probability that exactly 6 are sedimentary
The probability that exactly 6 of the rocks are sedimentary is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Answers

The probability that exactly 6 are sedimentary is 0.00002

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Given the total amount of rocks = 10 + 8 + 8 = 26 rocks

If there is a total of 8 sedimentary rocks, the total outcome will be expressed as:

26C8 = 26!/(26-8)!8!

26C8 = 1562275

If exactly 6 are sedimentary are selected out of 8 sedimentary rocks, then the expected outcome is ;

8C6 = 8!/(8-6)!6!

8C6 = 28

Pr(exactly 6 are sedimentary ) = 28/1562275

Pr(exactly 6 are sedimentary ) = 0.000017922

Hence the probability that exactly 6 are sedimentary is 0.00002
