Alex is practicing his dives at a pool. He dies from the diving board that is 15 feet above the surface of water. His dive takes

him 15 feet below the surface of water. Alex says that the two distances are opposites, so his total dive distance is 15+ -15 equals 0 feet. Are the two distances opposite? Is Alex his total dive distance correct? Explain your reasoning

Answer:

Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance from where he dive from = 15 feet

Distance he reached after dive = 15 feet

Also Given:

Alex says that the two distances are opposites,

Also Total distance of dive according to Alex = 15 +-15 =0 feet

Solution:

We know that the diving board is 15 feet above the water level, but here it is important to know that even he is above the surface of the water he is diving in the water and then he reached 15 deep in the water.

From above scenario we can say that the two distances are in the same direction.

Total Distance of dive will be = 15 +15 =30 feet.

Hence We can say that Alex is wrong in calculating his dive distance Actual Dive distance is 30 feet.

Show how to solve the following; answer must be with fractions and pi
Bess [88]

Answer:

3pi/4 and -pi/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify -6/6 to -1.

Therefore, this function can be simplified to arctan(-1).

Recall that the meaning of arctan is to find a value that will get the value inside the parenthesis when taken the tangent of it. In other words, tan(x) = -1.

Recall that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). Now recall that sin(pi/4) and cos(pi/4) are both sqrt(2)/2, meaning that tan(pi/4) is 1. To make it -1, we can either make sin(x) -1 while keeping cos(x) 1, or the other way around.

If x is -pi/4, cos(x) will still be 1, but sin(x) will be -1, so tan(-pi/4) will be -1.

If x is 3pi/4, cos(x) will be -1, but sin(x) will still be 1, so tan(3pi/4) will be -1.

Side note: there are still infinite more answers. You can attain them by adding or subtracting 2pi as many times as you want from 3pi/4 or -pi/4 and still get an arctan of -1.

Gustavo ha forrado una pared de 12,5 m cuadrados con 50 paneles cuadrados iguales de madera ¿ Cuantos decímetros cuadrados mide
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

25 dm²

Step-by-step explanation:

La superficie de nuestra pared tiene 12.5 m²

Si dividimos la superficie por la cantidad de paneles cuadrados, obtenemos la superficie de cada panel

12.5 m² /50 = 0.25 m²

Sabemos que la superficie de un cuadrado se calcula como l²

Convertimos los 0.25 m² a dm² → 0.25 m² . 100 dm² / 1m² = 25 dm²

Esa es la medida de cada papel.

Si calculamos la medida de cada lado será:

√ (25 dm²) = 5 dm

En conclusión un cuadrado con 5 dm de lado tiene 25dm² de superficie

Si convertimos a m² = 0.25 m²

0.25 m² es la medida que cubre 1 panel de papel

para cubrir 12.5 m² necesitariamos (12.5  . 1) /0.25 = 50 paneles.

How do I solve this?
Ghella [55]
The product of the two segments from the two chords are equal.

4(4+5)=(x-2)(x-2+x+4) or 36=(x-2)(2x+2) or x^2-x-20=0 or (x-5)(x+4)=0

So x=5.
