1 answer:

8 0

To write 8.57 as a fraction you have to write 8.57 as numerator and put 1 as the denominator. Now you multiply numerator and denominator by 10 as long as you get in numerator the whole number.
8.57 = 8.57/1 = 85.7/10 = 857/100

And finally we have:
8.57 as a fraction equals 857/100

PLEASE HELP FAST!!!!!!!! Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below?

worty [1.4K]

Given a quadratic equation

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

you can find its solutions with the following formula:

$x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

You equation is identified by the coefficients

$x^2 - 3x + 5 \iff a = 1,\ b = -3,\ c = 5$

Which means the solutions are

$\dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{9-4\cdot 5}}{2} = \dfrac{3 \pm \sqrt{-11}}{2}$

So, the answers are B and D

What is the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The height of the tree is approximately 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We list out the question parameters first as follows;

The distance from the base of the tree where the angle of elevation is measured, d = 10 feet

The angle of elevation to the top of the tree from 10 feet from the base, θ = 65°

Let 'h' represent the height of the tree, then we have;

The line formed by the angle 65° angle, the height of the tree, 'h', and the distance 'd', form a right triangle with 'h' being the opposite leg to the given reference angle, 65°, and 'd' being the adjacent leg

By trigonometric ratio, we have;

$tan(\theta) = \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent\ leg \ length} = \dfrac{h}{d}$

∴ h = d × tan(θ)

Plugging in the given values, we get;

h = 10 feet × tan(65°) = 21 feet $5\frac{11}{32}$ inches

∴ By rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height of the tree, h ≈ 21.4 feet.

The line with equation y=my+b is perpendicular to the line with equation y=16 - x/3. The value of m is ____?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

m=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines intersect at 90 degrees or perpendicular angles. As such, their slopes are related. The slope of each line is the negative reciprocal of the other. For the equation, $y=16-\frac{x}{3}$ . The slope or $m=-\frac{1}{3}$ . This means the slope of the other line will be the negative reciprocal which is -(-3)=3
