Answer:

x equals 3.00cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem.

a = (14x-45)

b = (16x+27)

c = (25x)

Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.

Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.

Write an equation of the parabola in vertex form that passes through (0, −24) and has vertex (−6, −12)

Elenna [48]

The general equation is y-k=a(x-h)² where (h,k) is the vertex.

So in this case we have y+12=a(x+6)².

Plug in x=0, y=-24: -12=36a, and a=-⅓. Therefore y+12=-⅓(x+6)².

A planet follows an elliptical path described by 16 x squared + 4 y squared = 64. A comet follows the parabolic path y equals x

saul85 [17]

Answer:

The comet might intersect the orbiting planet at (0, -4), $(\pm\frac{\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{15}{4})$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a planet follows an elliptical path described by

$16x^2+4y^2=64$ .........(1)

A comet follows the parabolic path

$y=x^2-4$

$x^2=y+4$ .........(2)

To find the intersecting point, we need to solve the above equations.

Putting $x^2=y+4$ in the equation (1)

$y+4+4y^2=64$

$\Rightarrow 4y^2+y+4-64=0$

$\Rightarrow 4y^2+y-60=0$

$\Rightarrow 4y^2+16y-15y-60=0$

$\Rightarrow 4y(y+4)-15(y+4)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y+4)(4y-15)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=-4, \frac{15}{4}$

When y = -4 , then $x^2=-4+4$ $\Rightarrow x=0$

When $y=\frac{15}{4}$ , then $x^2=\frac{15}{4}+4$ $\Rightarrow x=\pm \frac{\sqrt{31}}{2}$

The comet might intersect the orbiting planet at (0, -4), $(\pm\frac{\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{15}{4})$ .

If the angle of elevation of the sun is 63° and the flagpole casts 27-foot shadow, how tall is the flagpole?

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To help you solve

Use the fact that (height of flagpole)/(length of shadow) = tan(angle of elevation).
