Biana uses an angle measuring device on a 3-foot tripod to find the height, h, of a weather balloon above ground level, as shown

in this diagram. The balloon is at a 40o angle of elevation. A radio signal from the balloon tells Bianca that the distance between the tripod and the balloon is 25,000 feet. Find the height, h, of the balloon above ground level?

In a company, 80% of the workers are women. If 480 men work for the company, how many workers are there in all? Use pencil

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The total workers are<u> 2400.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In company 80% of the workers are women.

480 workers are men.

Now, to find the total workers in all.

<u><em>In first way:</em></u>

If women are 80%, then men would be 100-80 = 20%.

Let the total workers be $x$ .

According to question:

$20\%\ of \ x=480$

⇒ $\frac{20}{100} \times x=480$

⇒ $0.20\times x=480$

⇒ $0.20x=480$

Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:

⇒ $x=2400$ .

Total workers = 2400.

<em><u>Now, in second way</u></em>.

Again, let the total workers be $x$ .

According to question:

$x-80\%\ of\ x=480$

⇒ $x-\frac{80}{100}\times x=480$

<em>On solving:</em>

⇒ $x-0.80x=480$

⇒ $0.20x=480$

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:</em>

⇒ $x=2400$ .

<em>Total workers = 2400.</em>

Therefore, the total workers are <u>2400</u>.

A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 +1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021

egoroff_w [7]

The sum of the given series can be found by simplification of the number

of terms in the series.

A is approximately <u>2020.022</u>

Reasons:

The given sequence is presented as follows;

A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 + 1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021

Therefore;

$\displaystyle A = \mathbf{1011 + \frac{1011}{3} + \frac{1011}{6} + \frac{1011}{10} + \frac{1011}{15} + ...+\frac{1}{2021}}$

The n + 1 th term of the sequence, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ..., 2021 is given as follows;

$\displaystyle a_{n+1} = \mathbf{\frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}}$

Therefore, for the last term we have;

$\displaystyle 2043231= \frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}$

2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n + 2

Which gives;

n² + 3·n + 2 - 2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n - 4086460 = 0

Which gives, the number of terms, n = 2020

$\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = \mathbf{ 1011 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}+...+\frac{1}{4086460} \right)}$

$\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}- \frac{1}{4} +...+\frac{1}{2021}-\frac{1}{2022} \right)$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2022} \right)$

$\displaystyle A = 2 \times 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2022} \right) = \frac{1032231}{511} \approx \mathbf{2020.022}$

A ≈ <u>2020.022</u>

How do you to tell the difference between an ellipse, hyperbola, parabola, or circle if all are in standard form?

NeX [460]

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of a conic section is:

Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0

If B = 0:

Parabola: Either x² or y² term, but not both

Circle: x² and y² have the same coefficient

Ellipse: x² and y² have different positive coefficients

Hyperbola: x² and y² have different signs

Otherwise, look at the discriminant.

If B² − 4AC < 0, then the conic is an ellipse.

If B² − 4AC = 0, then the conic is a parabola.

If B² − 4AC > 0, then the conic is a hyperbola.

HELP...The volume of a rectangular prism is 36x^6y^8. The length of the prism is 4x^3y^5, and the width of the prism is 3xy^2. W

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$H = 3x^2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 36x&^6y^8$

$L = 4x^3y^5$

$W = 3xy^2$

Required

Find the height of the prism

Volume (V) is calculated as:

$V =LWH$

Substitute values for V, L and W

$36x^6y^8 =4x^3y^5 * 3xy^2 * H$

Make H the subject

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{4x^3y^5 * 3xy^2}$

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{4*3x^3*x*y^5y^2}$

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{12x^4*y^7}$

Divide:

$H = 3x^{6-4}y^{8-7}$

$H = 3x^2y$

The height of the prism is: $3x^2y$
