Answer:

The answer to your question is: the three is 21 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Thales's theorem to solve this exercise

Data

light post height = 9 ft

shadow of the light post = 6 ft

tree shadow = 14 ft

height of the three = x

        Proportions                

                                    x /  9 = 14 / 6

Solve for x                  x = 14(9) / 6

                                   x = 21 ft

Suppose p" must approximate p with relative error at most 10-3 . Find the largest interval in which p* must lie for each value o
goblinko [34]

Answer:

[p-|p|*10^{-3} \, , \, p+|p|* 10^-3]

Step-by-step explanation

The relative error is the absolute error divided by the absolute value of p. for an approximation p*, the relative error is

r = |p*-p|/|p|

we want r to be at most 10⁻³, thus

|p*-p|/|p| ≤ 10⁻³

|p*-p| ≤ |p|* 10⁻³

therefore, p*-p should lie in the interval [ - |p| * 10⁻³ , |p| * 10⁻³ ], and as a consecuence, p* should be in the interval  [p - |p| * 10⁻³ , p + |p| * 10⁻³ ]

A rectangles tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and a area of 11 7/8 square feet what is the width of the tabletop
Natalija [7]
Area is length times width. Therefore, width is area divided by length. Convert 11 7/8 to the improper fraction 95/8 and convert 4 3/4 to 19/4. Then, you can fine 95/8 divided by 19/4 by flipping the second fraction and multiplying so that you have 95/8 times 4/19. 4 times 95 is 380 and 8 times 19 is 152. Therefore, the answer is 380/152. This is equivalent to 5/2 or 2.5.

Consider the line y= -7/4x+8
VARVARA [1.3K]
Perpendicular line has slope that multiplies to -1
paralel line has same slope

y=mx+b
slope=-7/4
perpendicular
4/7
(-7,-2)
-2=4/7(-7)+b
-2=-4+b
add 4 both sides
2=b
y=4/7x+2


paralel
y=-7/4x+b
-2=-7/4(-7)+b
-2=49/4+b
minus 49/4 from both sides (-2=-8/4)
-57/4=b
y=-7/4x-14.25


perpendicular
y=4/7x+2
paralel
y=-7/4x-14.25
