Answer:

Lets say you have "100" apples.

If you lost 50% of those 100 apples, (50 apples) and then half of them went rotten, then no, it wouldn't be the same. But if you picked them all back up, and none of them were damaged, then yes, they would stay the original amount.

Brooke is flying a kite while standing 50 m from the base of a tree at the park. Her Chi is directly above the 10 m tree in the

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

104.127 m

Step-by-step explanation

In the question instead of chi, it would be kite.

Given: Distance of Brooke from the base of tree is 50 meters.

The kite is directly above the 10 m tree in the 125 m string is fully extended.

Lets assume the height of the kite be "x".

Its making the Right angle triangle with length of string as hypotenuse, height of kite above tree.

Using Pythagorean formula:

h²= a²+b²

⇒ $125^{2} = 50^{2} + (x)^{2}$

⇒ $15625 = 2500+ (x)^{2}$

⇒ $15625 = 2500+ x^{2}$

Subtracting both side by 2500

⇒ $13025 = x^{2}$

Square rooting both side, we know√a²=a

⇒ $\sqrt{13025} =x$

∴ x= 114.127 meter.

Next, we know the value of x include the height of tree.

∴ Height of kite flying above tree= $x-10\ m$

⇒ Height of kite flying above tree= $114.127-10= 104.127\ m$

Hence, the height of kite above the tree is 104.127 meters.

The graph of h(x) is shown. Graph of h of x that begins in quadrant two and decreases rapidly following the vertical line which

fgiga [73]

Answer:

x-intercept

The point at which the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the x-axis when x = -4, so the x-intercept is (-4, 0)

y-intercept

The point at which the curve crosses the y-axis, so when x = 0.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the y-axis when y = -1, so the y-intercept is (0, -1)

Asymptote

A line which the curve gets infinitely close to, but never touches.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to get infinitely close to but never touches the vertical line at x = -5, so the vertical asymptote is x = -5

(Please note: we cannot be sure that there is a horizontal asymptote at y = -2 without knowing the equation of the graph, or seeing a larger portion of the graph).

Find the value of x in the Diagram Below.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: x = 12

Step-By-Step: 180 - 100 = 80

Step-By-Step: 80 - 12 = 68

Step-By-Step: 68 is angle ( X + 12)

68 + 12 = 80 + 100 equals 180
