Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The length of the guy wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the antenna represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance, h from base of the antenna to the point on the ground to which the antenna is attached represents the adjacent side of the triangle.

To determine h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

41² = 32.8² + h²

1681 = 1075.84 + h²

h² = 1681 - 1075.84 = 605.16

h = √605.16

h = 24.6 m

To determine the angle θ that the wire makes with the ground, we would apply the the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos θ = 24.6/41 = 0.6

θ = Cos^-1(0.6)

θ = 53.1°

Determine if the solution set for the system of equations shown is the empty set, contains one point or is infinite. 5x+7=2y and
Luda [366]

Answer:

The correct option is option B. It has one solution, and it's x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

5x+7 = 2y                        (1)

y-9x=23                            (2)

Step 1: Solve for 'y' in equation (2):

y-9x = 23

y = 9x + 23

Step 2: Substitute in equation (1):

5x + 7 = 2y

5x + 7 = 2(9x + 23)

5x + 7 = 18x + 46

Step 3: Solve for x:

7 - 46 = 18x - 5x

-39 = 13x

x= -3

So the correct option is option B. It has one solution, and it's x=-3

What is the average rate of change from x = 0 to x = 4?
hammer [34]
1) find the corresponding y values for when x = 0 and when x = 4,
when x = 0, y = 4
when x = 4, y = 4

the coordinates are (0,4) and (4,4)

2) to calculate the average rate of change, find the slope of the two points:

(0,4) (4,4)

(change in y) 4 - 4 = 0
(change in x) 4 - 0 = 4

0/4 = 0

the average rate of change is 0!

Find the next three sequence of 1,3, 9, 27,<br>​
Andreyy89

Answer: 81, 243, 729

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>STEP ONE: Find a pattern in the sequence</u>

3 ÷ 1 = 3

9 ÷ 3 = 3

27 ÷ 9 = 3

As we can see from the given sequence, each number multiplies 3 to get the next term.

<u>STEP TWO: Find the next three terms</u>

27 × 3 = 81

81 × 3 = 243

243 × 3 = 729

Hope this helps!! :)

Here's a problem for the minds-good luck!
Art [367]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Set up a proportion: \frac{280}{1400} = \frac{x}{100}  
  2. Cross multiply, then divide: 280 × 100 = 28000, 28000 ÷ 1400 = 20
  3. So, 20% were satisfied with their car

I hope this helps!
