The function L = 0.8T^2 models the relationship between L, the length in feet of a pendulum, and T, the period in seconds of the

pendulum. Which value is closest to the period in seconds for a pendulum that is 30 ft long?
a 5.4s
b 4.9s
c 6.8s
d 6.1s

The correct option is "d".
Given that L = 0.8T²
length of pendulum = 30ft

L= 0.8T²
30 = 0.8T²
T² = 30 / 0.8
T² = 37.5
T = √37.5 = 6.1 seconds
<span>So, 6.1 is the closest to the period in seconds for a pendulum that is 30 ft long.</span>

A 9.85 m ladder is placed against a wall. The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and

Dafna1 [17]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 9.85 m

The height to the top of the ladder is 5 m more than the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

To find:

The height to the top and the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

Solution:

let x be the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder. Then the height to the top of the ladder is (x+5).

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

In the given situation, hypotenuse is the length of ladder, i.e., 9.85 m. The base is x m and the height is (x+5) m.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

$(9.85)^2=x^2+(x+5)^2$

$97.0225=x^2+x^2+10x+25$

$0=2x^2+10x+25-97.0225$

$0=2x^2+10x-72.0225$

Here, $a=2, b=10,c=-72.0225$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{(10)^2-4(2)(-72.0225)}}{2(2)}$

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{676.18}}{4}$

Approximating the value, we get

$x=\dfrac{-10\pm 26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{-10+26}{4},\dfrac{-10-26}{4}$

$x=\dfrac{16}{4},\dfrac{-36}{4}$

$x=4,-9$

Distance cannot be negative so $x\neq -9.$

Now we have $x=4$

$x+5=4+5$

$x+5=9$

Therefore, the base is 4 m and the height is 9 m.

Answer:

C. His opportunity cost of one watermelon is 2/3 of a cantaloupe.

c. Fewer households can afford luxury imports

Step-by-step explanation: Opportunity Cost is an economic term used to describe the benefits or profits which a person or an investor gives up in order to make choice between alternatives.

Recession is a term used in economics to refer a state of decline in the general productive economic activities of a country or an economy, it is also the state of an economy where the Gross domestic product (GDP) growth is in the negative.

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 329. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

170 children

74 students

85 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$C = Children; S = Students; A = Adults$

For the capacity, we have:

$C + S + A = 329$

For the tickets sold, we have:

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

$A = \frac{C}{2}$

Required

Solve for A, C and S

The equations to solve are:

$C + S + A = 329$ -- (1)

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$ -- (2)

$A = \frac{C}{2}$ -- (3)

Make C the subject in (3)

$C = 2A$

Substitute $C = 2A$ in (1) and (2)

$C + S + A = 329$ -- (1)

$2A + S + A = 329$

$3A + S = 329$

Make S the subject

$S = 329 - 3A$

$5C + 7S + 12A = 2388$ -- (2)

$5*2A + 7S + 12A = 2388$

$10A + 7S + 12A = 2388$

$7S + 22A = 2388$

Substitute $S = 329 - 3A$

$7(329 - 3A) + 22A = 2388$

$2303 - 21A + 22A = 2388$

$2303 +A = 2388$

Solve for A

$A = 2388 - 2303$

$A = 85$

Recall that: $C = 2A$

$C = 2 * 85$

$C = 170$

Recall that: $S = 329 - 3A$

$S = 329 - 3 * 85$

$S = 329 - 255$

$S = 74$

Hence, the result is:

$C = 170$

$S = 74$

$A = 85$
