Answer:

  AH = 1 or 4

  CH = 4 or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...

  AH/BH = BH/CH

  AH·CH = BH²

The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write

  AH·(5 -AH) = BH²

  AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4

This gives us the quadratic ...

  AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form

  (AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored

This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.

et p ↔ q represent the statement "He is wearing a coat if and only if the temperature is below 30°F.” Which represents p ∧ q? He
Elodia [21]
P = he is wearing a coat
q = the temperature is below 30 degrees Fahrenheit

The expression p ^ q means "p and q"
So we replace p and q with the defined expressions above to get this answer

"He is wearing a coat and the temperature is below 30 degrees Fahrenheit"

This is a conjunction

The temperature, t, in degrees celsius, in a warehouse changes according to the function t(h) = 18 + 4sin(pi/12 (x = 8)).
egoroff_w [7]

The rate at which the temperature is changing at 9 a.m. is 19.03 degrees Celsius per hour

<h3>How to determine the rate at 9a.m?</h3>

The function is given as:

t(h) = 18 + 4\sin(\pi/12(x - 8))

9a.m is 9 hours since midnight.

This means that

x = 9

So, we have:

t(h) = 18 + 4\sin(\pi/12(9 - 8))

Evaluate

t(h) = 18 + 4\sin(0.262)

Evaluate the expression

t(h) = 19.03

Hence, the rate at which the temperature is changing at 9 a.m. is 19.03 degrees Celsius per hour
