Let the length of the guy wire be x feet.
cos 51.8 = 400/x
x = 400/cos 51.8 = 646.82 feet.
The answer is 646.82 feet.

What is the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8
Charra [1.4K]
If you would like to find the quotient of 2 1/4 and 5/8, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 1/4 = 9/4

2 1/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 / 5/8 = 9/4 * 8/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

The correct result would be 3 3/5.

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is​ increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph

Please help me with this!
stich3 [128]

Answer:

y = x^2 - 4x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots are  2 + √10 and 2 - √10, so in factor form we have:

(x -  (2 + √10))(x - (2 - √10))

= ( x -  2 - √10)(x - 2 + √10)

= x^2 - 2x + √10x - 2x + 4 - 2√10 - √10x  + 2√10 - √100

=  x^2 -4x + 4 - 10

= x^2 - 4x - 6.
