The closest distance up the tree where the wire reaches is 17.93 foot.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Length of the wire, L = 12 foot

angle, Ф= 48°

Distance upto which the wire reaches the tree, x = ?

We know,

cos Ф = base/ hypotenuse

cos 48° = 12/ x

0.669 = 12/x

x = 17.93 foot

Therefore, the closest distance up the tree where the wire reaches is 17.93 foot.

Explain the difference between an equation, like x=5, and an inequality, like x_&gt; 5.
andrew11 [14]
X=5 is a definite answer and one solution. While X greater than OR equal to 5 means that it could be 5 AND anything above 5, which gives multiple of choices for solutions. (I believe this write but it’s been awhile since I did algebra stuff)

Which of the following expressions represents the area, in square meters, of the regular decagon (10-sided polygon) with 3.25 me
raketka [301]

Answer:

A = P * a / 2

A = 81.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that there is a corresponding formula for a regular decagon, which depends on the apothem and the perimeter, it is the following:

A = P * a / 2

In this case, the perimeter is the sum of all the sides, that is, 10 sides, therefore:

P = 10 * 3.25

P = 32.5 meters

We replace:

A = 32.5 * 5/2

A = 81.25

Which means that for that regular decagon, the area is 81.25 square meters.

The sum of 2 numbers is 22. three times one number is equal to ten more than the other. find the numbers
qwelly [4]
Translating that problem into an equation with x as a variable we get 3x + x +10 = 22. Combine like terms to get 4x + 10 = 22. Subtract 10 on both sides to get 4x = 12. Divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 3. 

Now to plug in. The first number was represented by 3x. So substituting 3 for the x we get 3(3) = 9. And again for the second number represented by x+10, 3+10 = 13. 

Your numbers are 9 and 13. To check just add them together. 13 + 9 is 22, I'll save ya the effort.

Kristina used synthetic division to divide the polynomial f(x) by x−2, as shown on the table. What is the value of f(2)? −14 −11
UNO [17]

Answer:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the  first one sould be  -11

2x^3 +5x^2−x−6

Write 5x^2  as  4x^2 + x^2......and we have.....

2x^3 + 4x^2 + x^2 - x - 6

2x^2 ( x + 2) + ( x + 2)(x - 3)

(x + 2) [ 2x^2 + x - 3]

(x + 2) (2x +3) (x - 1)

x^3−4x^2−3x+18 = 0

Using some synthetic division, we have

3  [   1   - 4      -3      18  ]

              3      -3     -18

      _______________

       1    -1      -6       0

The remaining polynomial  is   x^2  - x  - 6    which factors as  (x - 3) ( x + 2)

So ....   the factored form is  (x - 3) ( x - 3) ( x + 2)  = ( x + 2) ( x - 3)^2 = 0
