Answer:

42.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let t be the height of the tree.

<u><em>At the same time ,the measure of something </em></u>

<u><em>and its shadow are proportional</em></u> .

Then

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{14}{t}

Then

2t = 6 × 14

Then

2t = 84

Then

t = 84/2

Then

t = 42

Therefore the tree is 42 ft tall

The area enclosed by the graphs of y = 1/x, y = 1, and x = 3 is rotated about the line y = -1. Find the volume and show steps.
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[\frac{16}{3}-2\ln(|3|)\biggr]\approx9.8524

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Washer Method A=\pi\displaystyle \int\limits_{a}^{b}{\bigr[R(x)^2-r(x)^2\bigr] \, dx where R(x) is the outer radius and r(x) is the inner radius.

If we sketch out the graph, we see that y=1 intersects points (1,1) and (3,1), which will be our bounds of integration.

Here, our outer radius will be R(x)=(-1-1)=-2 and our inner radius will be r(x)=-1-\frac{1}{x}.

Thus, we can compute the integral and find the volume:

A=\pi\displaystyle\int\limits^{3}_{1} {(-2)^2-\biggr(-1-\frac{1}{x}\biggr)^2 } \, dx\\ \\A=\pi\displaystyle\int\limits^{3}_{1} {4-\biggr(1+\frac{2}{x}+\frac{1}{x^2}  \biggr) } \, dx\\\\A=\pi\displaystyle\int\limits^{3}_{1} {4-1-\frac{2}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}} \, dx\\\\A=\pi\displaystyle\int\limits^{3}_{1} {3-\frac{2}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}} \, dx\\\\A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[3x-2\ln(|x|)+\frac{1}{x}\biggr]\Biggr|_{1}^{3}\\

A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[\biggr(3(3)-2\ln(|3|)+\frac{1}{3}\biggr)-\biggr(3(1)-2\ln(|1|)+\frac{1}{1}\biggr)\biggr]\\\\A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[\biggr(9-2\ln(|3|)+\frac{1}{3}\biggr)-\biggr(3+1\biggr)\biggr]\\\\A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[\biggr(\frac{28}{3}-2\ln(|3|)\biggr)-\biggr(4\biggr)\biggr]\\A=\pi\displaystyle\biggr[\frac{16}{3}-2\ln(|3|)\biggr]\\A\approx9.8524

In conclusion, the volume of the solid of revolution will be about 9.8524 cubic units. See the attached graph for a helpful visual!

George wants to invest $20,000 One investment pays interest at a rate of 18 2/3% while another pays interest at a rate of 0.1872
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

George investment principal = $20,000

The Rate of interest  (R1)   = 18 \frac{2}{3} % = \frac{56}{3} %

I.e   R1 = 18.67 %

Again The The Rate of interest  (R2)  = 0.1872  = 18.72 %

Let the time period for both rate of interest = 1 years

Now from compound interest method

Amount = Principal × (1 + \frac{Rate}{100})^{Time}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.67}{100})^{1}

Or,    A 1 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1867

∴       A 1 = $ 23,734

And   A 2 = $ 20 , 000 × (1 + \frac{18.72}{100})^{1}

Or,     A 2 = $ 20 ,000 × 1.1872

∴        A 2 = $ 23,744

Hence From the calculation of both amount it is clear that , investment with interest rate 0.1872 is better . Answer

Does anyone know this?
Tresset [83]

<ABC would equal 106

seeing in triangle ABD angle A equals 67 you would multiply that by 2 and then subtract it from 180 to get 46, and then triangle DBC all the angles would equal 60. so then add 46 to 60 to get 106 the measure of <ABC
