ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}

Replacing and solving for x:

\begin{gathered} \cos 75=\frac{x}{9} \\ x=9\cdot\cos 75 \\ x=2.33 \end{gathered}

The distance would be 2.33 foot

A fruit seller packed some apples into 15 small cartons and 20 big cartons. Each big carton contained 15 more apples than each s
ehidna [41]

Answer:

720 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of apples in the small pack.

QTY for Small Cartons is 15A,

QTY for Big Cartons is 20(A+15) = 20A+300

From small cartons makes 25% or 1/4 of total, means the big carton makes 75% of total, or 3/4 of total. This also means the qty in big carton is 3 times of small carton

20A+300 = 3X (15A)= 45A

300 = 25A

A=12

Altogether = 15A+(20A+300) = 720 Apples

Why does a radical function with an even index only appear on one sode of the x-axis while a radical woth an odd index appears o
Vladimir79 [104]

Consider the equation y = x^2. No matter what x happens to be, the result y will never be negative even if x is negative. Example: x = -3 leads to y = x^2 = (-3)^2 = 9 which is positive.

Since y is never negative, this means the inverse x = sqrt(y) has the right hand side never be negative. The entire curve of sqrt(x) is above the x axis except for the x intercept of course. Put another way, we cannot plug in a negative input into the square root function for this reason. This similar idea applies to any even index such as fourth roots or sixth roots.

Meanwhile, odd roots such as a cube root has its range extend from negative infinity to positive infinity. Why? Because y = x^3 can have a negative output. Going back to x = -3 we get y = x^3 = (-3)^3 = -27. So we can plug a negative value into the cube root to get some negative output. We can get any output we want, negative or positive. So the range of any radical with an odd index is effectively the set of all real numbers. Visually this produces graphs that have parts on both sides of the x axis.

The volume is a rectangular prism is 7,200 cubic centimeters. It has a length of 24 centimeters and a width of 20 centimeters. W
Setler [38]
7,200 = (24)(20)h
15=h (just divide)
To check, 20*24*15 = 7,200 cubic centimeters so 15 cm is right
