The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Actual height of Sears Tower = H_a = 1450 feet

Height of Model = H_m = 24 inches

We can divide the actual height by the model's height to find the scale

Let z be the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height

z = \frac{H_m}{H_a}\\z = \frac{24\ inches}{1450\ feet}\\z = \frac{12\ inches}{725\ feet}

The ratio should be in same unit.

We know that

1 ft = 12 inches

Then

z = \frac{1}{725}\\z=> 1:725

Hence,

The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

What kind of function is being illustrated by f(x)=|2x³-3x|+5?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option D: Absolute value function

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the distance of the number from 0 to the left or right on the number line.

We are given the function;

f(x) = |2x³ - 3x| + 5

This function contains an absolute value symbol which is |2x³ - 3x|.

This function is thus illustrated by an an absolute value function because an absolute value function will be one that contains algebraic expressions within absolute value symbols.

I need help finding u if it help x=6 that's all I know
sineoko [7]

Answer:

x = 6   y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>X VALUE</em></u>

3x+11 = 5x-1

12 = 2x

x= 6

<em><u>Y VALUE</u></em>

Solve the system of equations 4x+5y=-1 and -5x-8y=10 by combining the equations.
Flura [38]

The solutions to the given system of equations are x = 6 and y = -5

<h3>Simultaneous linear equations</h3>

From the question, we are to solve the given system of equations

The given system of equation is

4x+5y=-1

-5x-8y=10

Multiply the <u>first equation</u> by 5 and the <u>second equation</u> by 4

5× (4x+5y=-1)

4× (-5x-8y=10)

20x + 25y = -5

-20x - 32y = 40

------------------------

0x + (-7y) = 35

-7y = 35

y = 35/-7

y = -5

Substitute the value of y into the first equation to find x

4x + 5y = -1

4x + 5(-5) = -1

4x -25 = -1

4x = -1 +25

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6

Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations are x = 6 and y = -5
