In an obstacle course, participants climb to the top of a tower and use a zip line to travel across a mud pit. The zip line extends from the top of a tower to a point on the ground 60 feet away from the base of the tower. The angle of elevation of the zip line is 20°. Estimate the length of the zip line to the nearest tenth of a foot.

about 63.9 ft

about 21.8 ft

about 175.4 ft

about 164.8 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that the length of the zip line is of about 63.9 ft.

What are the relations in a right triangle?

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

In this problem, the hypotenuse is the length of the line, considering that the base of 60 ft is adjacent to the angle of 20º, hence:

[tex]\cos{20^\circ} = \frac{60}{l}[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{60}{\cos{20^\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]l = 63.9[/tex]

The length of the zip line is of about 63.9 ft.

The equation of a linear function is y = –2x + 3. Which table contains a set of points that lie in the graph of this function?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out table contains a set of points that lie in the graph of this function , we have to hit and trial method ,

when we put the value of x in y = –2x + 3 this equation so ,

taking x = 1 , then the value of y is

=> y = -2(1)+3

=> y = -2+3

=> y = 1

taking x = 0 , then the value of y is

=> y = -2(0)+3

=> y = 3

now talking x = -3 , then the value of y is

=> y = -2(-3) +3

=> y = 6+3

=> y = 9

so , the option A is the right answer

Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given linear function:  y = -2x + 3

Therefore, the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3)

Therefore, we are looking for a set of ordered pairs that has a rate of change of -2

⇒ as the x-value increases by 1 unit, the y-value decreases by 2 units

i.e. as the x-value decreases by 1 unit, the y-value increases by 2 units.

The only set of ordered pairs that follows this rule is A)

Let's check by substituting the values of x = 1, x = 0 and x = -3 into the function:

when x = 1 → -2(1) + 3 = 1

when x = 0 → -2(0) + 3 = 3

when x = -3 → -2(-3) + 3 = 9

Confirming that the set of ordered pairs in A) lie on the graph of the given function.

£810 is divided between Paul, Brian & Colin so that Paul gets twice as much as Brian, and Brian gets three times as much as Colin. How much does Brian get.

Answers

Answer:

$486 (Paul)

$243(Brian)

$81(Colin)

Solving steps:

let Paul Be x, Brian be x,Colin be x

since Paul got twice as much as Brian which shows that brian and got three times

So Paul,= 3×2 so he got six times as much as the two others

while Brian got three times

and colins got once

so let's make an equation for this problem

=> 6x + 3x + x = $810

add 6 x + 3 x + x which give you 10 x

=> 10x = $810

divide both side by the coefficient of x

=> [tex] \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{810}{10} [/tex]

=> [tex]x = \frac{810}{10} [/tex]

=> x = 81

since you we have find what the value of x

insert into the previous equation which is

=> 6x + 3x + x

=> 6(81) = $486-----(for Paul)

3(81) = $243-------(for Brian)

(81) = $81 ---------(for Collin)

ben and winston are both selling cookie dough for a fundraiser. Although ben has already sold 10 tubs, Winston hasnt sold any yet. If ben starts selling 8 tubs per day and Winston begins selling 9 tubs per day, they will eventually sell the same amount of cookie dough. how many days will that take 
?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day, Ben (B) starts with 10 tubs and Winston (W) starts with 0 tubs.

After the first day, Ben sells 8 tubs per day while Winston sells 9 tubs per day.

Therefore we can write the following equation:  (Where d = number of days)

B = 10 + 8d

W = 0 + 9d = 9d

We are told that eventually they will sell the same amount which means

B = W

This means we can say,

10 + 8d = 9d

If we subtract 8d from both sides we get

10 = d

Therefore it will take 10 days for them to sell the same amount of cookie dough.

Answer: 10 days

10 + 8 x 10 = 90

9 x 10 = 90.

It will take 10 days for Ben and Winston to sell the same amount of cookie dough.

Mr. Smith is 81 years older than his grandson, Victor. In 3 years, Mr. Smith will be four times as old as Victor. How old is Victor now? ​

Answers

Answer :-

24 years

Solution :-

Let the age of victor be X . and, the age of Mr.Smith be = 81 + x

So, after 3 years = x+81 +3

81 + 3 + x = 4 ( x + 3 ) 84 + x = 4x + 12

now grouping the variables and constants together we get,

4x-x=84-12 3x = 72x = 72/3x = 24

Thus, Victor's present age is 24 yrs.

Hope it helps ya ~

Answer:

Victor's age = 24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of Mr. Smith = x and age of Victor = y.

According to the question, we can find two equations.

=> 1) x = y + 81

=> 2) x + 3 = 4(y + 3)

Substituting value of x in (1) to (2)

y + 81 + 3 = 4y + 12

3y = 72

y = 24

Victor's age = 24 years old

Answers

Answer:

D)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is an evident zero of the equation x^3 - 64.

x^3 - 64 can only be factorized with (x-4) and not with (x+4)

because x - 4 = 0 <==> x = 4 and 4^3 -64 = 0

Developing B) would be:

x^3 + 4x^3 + 16x - 4x^2 - 16x - 64 = 5x^3 - 4x^2 -64

So it doesn't match so it's D)

The gas tank in Enrique's car has 15 gallons of gas. Enrique was able to determine that he can travel 35 miles and only use 2 gallons of gas. At this constant rate, he predicts that he can drive 240 more miles before he runs out of gas. Is he correct? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, he is correct, 240 miles will require a gas volume of 13.71 gallons which is less than 15 gallons in  Enrique's car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total volume of gas in Enrique's car, V = 15 gallons

The rate of gas consumption [tex]= \frac{35 \ miles}{2 \ gallons} = 17.5 \ miles/gallon[/tex]

To drive 240 miles, he would need the following volume of gas;

[tex]V = 240 \ miles* \frac{1}{\frac{17.5 \ miles}{gallon} }\\\\ V = 240 \ miles*\frac{1*gallon}{17.5 \ miles}\\\\ V = (\frac{240 \ miles}{17.5 \ miles} )gallon\\\\V = 13.71 \ gallons[/tex]

The volume of gas needed to drive 240 miles is less than the total volume of gas in Enrique's car.

Thus, he is correct

What is Logarithm?

How many times must one "base" number be multiplied by itself in order to generate another specific number? The answer is found using a logarithm (or log).

For instance, how many times must a base of 10 be multiplied by itself to get 1,000? The answer is 3 (1,000 = 10 × 10 × 10).

Given that;

We have to use the property as;

aᵇ = x then

b = logₐx

So, we get;

log₁₂ 144 = a

12ᵃ = 144

12ᵃ = 12²

On comparing the base

= 2

Now,  second is,

log₁₅ 1 = a

15ᵃ = 1

a = 0

Now, log₃ (1/81)

3ᵃ = 1/81

3ᵃ = 3⁻⁴

a = - 4

And, log 0.00001

= log (10)⁻⁵

= -5 log 10

= -5
