Mr. Jones wants to place a chimney on his roof. It is recommended that the chimney be set at a height of at least 30 feet. The h

eight of the roof is described by the function f(x)=−4/3|x−10| + 40 where x is the distance along the width of the roof. Where should Leroy place the chimney if the house is 45 feet wide?

Absolute value of any number is always positive because it represent distance and distance will always positive.

To place chimney at  least 30 feet , the distance along the width of the roof  (x) will be  x = 17.5 feet or x = 2.5 feet.

Since, The height of the roof is described by the function f(x)=−4/3|x−10| + 40

Since, minimum height is 30 feet.

So , substitute f(x)=30 in above expression.

                 30=−4/3|x−10| + 40

                   4/3|x−10| = 10

                      |x−10|=30/4

                      |x−10| = 7.5

Taking positive case,

                           x−10 = 7.5

                           x = 17.5 feet

Taking negative case,

                          x−10 = - 7.5

                          x = 10 - 7.5

                          x = 2.5 feet

Answer:

13) 7 + x/2 = 10

14)  2x - 5 = 7

15) 4x - 1 = 11

16) 6x - 6 = 12

17) x/3 + 10 = 12

18) 2x + 7 = 1

19) 9 + x/7 = 11

20) 8(n - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of x and 2 = x ÷ 2 = x/2

The product is the result of multiplying two or more other numbers

The sum is the result of adding two or more numbers

The difference is the result of subtracting one number from another

13) 7 + x/2 = 10

14)  2x - 5 = 7

15) 4x - 1 = 11

16) 6x - 6 = 12

17) x/3 + 10 = 12

18) 2x + 7 = 1

19) 9 + x/7 = 11

20) 8(n - 3)

Given that parallelogram ABCD and angle D=145 what is the measure of angle C
stiv31 [10]
Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
sum of interior angles of parallelogram is 360 degrees.

Therefore,
A + B + C + D = 360
x + 145 + x + 145 = 360 
x = 35
Therefore angle C is 35 degrees
