We can draw this as:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the cable, as it is the hypotenuse of a right triangle:

\begin{gathered} c^2=7^2+8^2 \\ c^2=49+64 \\ c^2=113 \\ c=\sqrt[]{113} \\ c\approx10.63 \end{gathered}

Answer: the cable length is 10.63 m.

What is true of the function g(x)=-2x^2+5?
mart [117]

Answer:

C) The variable x represents the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is g(x)=-2x^2+5.

g(x) is NOT the multiplication of g and x because g is a function of x.

x is the input of the function.

-2x^2+5 is the output of the function.

The variable x is called the independent variable because we plug in values of x to find g.

The variable g represents the output of the function NOT the input.

The correct choice is C

Maria, a biologist, is observing the growth pattern of a virus. She starts with 100 of the virus that grows at a rate of 10% per
Leni [432]
<h3>Answer: 985</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

A = amount after t hours

P = initial amount = 100

r = growth rate in decimal form = 0.10

t = number of hours = 24

--------

A = P*(1+r)^t

A = 100(1+0.10)^24

A = 100*(1.10)^24

A = 100*9.84973267580762

A = 984.973267580762

A = 985

The population of a local species of dragonfly can be found using an infinite geometric series where a1=42 and the common ratio
san4es73 [151]
\bf \textit{sum of an infinite geometric serie}\\\\&#10;\stackrel{for~~|r|\ \textless \ 1}{S=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{\infty}~a_1r^i\implies \cfrac{a_1}{1-r}}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=42\\&#10;r=\frac{3}{4}&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;S=\cfrac{42}{1-\frac{3}{4}}\implies S=\cfrac{42}{\frac{1}{4}}\implies S=164

bearing in mind that, the geometric sequence is "convergent" only when |r|<1, or namely "r" is a fraction between 0 and 1.
