Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes equals - 1
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Consider the given equations
3x - 4y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 4y = - 3x + 12 ( divide terms by - 4 )
y = 
x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
3y = 12 - 4x = - 4x + 12 ( divide terms by 3 )
y = - 
x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = -
Then
× - = - 1
Since the product of their slopes = - 1 then the lines are perpendicular
Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
X^3 = 1/8
x^3 = (1/2)^3
x = 1/2

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following information given in the problem:
- <span>The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees.
- Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base.
-Madison is 5 feet tall.
2. Therefore, you have:
Sin</span>α=opposite/hypotenuse
<span>
Sin(79°)=x/58.2
x=(58.2)(Sin(79°))
x=57.13 ft
3. Now, you can calculate the height of the Statue of Liberty, as below:
height=x+5 ft
height=57.13 ft+5 ft
height=62.13 ft
4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 62.13 ft
