For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
x: depth of water.
40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
Clearing x:
x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
0 = 16x -1536
1536 = 16x
1536/16 = x
x = 96
answer:
1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
2) the depth of the water is
x = 96

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
k=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Cab 1 : 1/km
Cab2: 0.5 /km with Base charge =4
x=0.5 x+4
x-0.5x=4
0.5x=4
4/0.5=x
x=8
Assume x=k
k=8
Answer:
It's being divided by 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, the variable being used in the equation is being divided by 5. This is represented by the / symbol in the equation which is the symbol for division. If we multiply both sides by 5 we can isolate the variable M and get its value like so...
M/5 = -40 ... multiply both sides by 5
M = -200
Therefore in this scenario, the value of M would be -200
