is 4 feet 10 inches tall, how tall is the tree?

Let n be the height of the tree, in inches. Then:
n/1500=58/66
66n=87000
n=1318.18 in, or 109.84 ft

the contractor demands a working temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. what is the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

27.8 Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to convert Fahrenheit and Celsius is:

F = (9/5)C + 32

82 = (9/5)C + 32 -- subtract 32 from both sides

50 = (9/5)C -- multiply both sides by 5

250 = 9C -- divide by 9

27.777 = C

round up to 27.8 C

Solve using algebraic equation: <br> 5sin2x=3cosx<br><br> (No exponents)

DaniilM [7]

$5\sin2x=3\cos x\iff10\sin x\cos x=3\cos x$

by the double angle identity for sine. Move everything to one side and factor out the cosine term.

$10\sin x\cos x=3\cos x\iff10\sin x\cos x-3\cos x=\cos x(10\sin x-3)=0$

Now the zero product property tells us that there are two cases where this is true,

$\begin{cases}\cos x=0\\10\sin x-3=0\end{cases}$

In the first equation, cosine becomes zero whenever its argument is an odd integer multiple of $\dfrac\pi2$ , so $x=\dfrac{(2n+1)\pi}2$ where $n[/tex ]is any integer.\\Meanwhile,\\[tex]10\sin x-3=0\implies\sin x=\dfrac3{10}$

which occurs twice in the interval $[0,2\pi)$ for $x=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}$ and $x=\pi-\arcsin\dfrac3{10}$ . More generally, if you think of $x$ as a point on the unit circle, this occurs whenever $x$ also completes a full revolution about the origin. This means for any integer $n$ , the general solution in this case would be $x=\arcsin\dfrac3{10}+2n\pi$ and $x=\pi-\arcsin\dfrac3{10}+2n\pi$ .

If T is the midpoint of SU find the values of x, ST and SU.

Nitella [24]

Answer: The required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that T is the midpoint of SU, where

ST = 5x and TU = 3x + 24.

We are to find the values of x, ST and SU.

Since T is the midpoint of SU, so we get

$ST=TU\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=3x+24\\\\\Rightarrow 5x-3x=24\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=24\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{24}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=12.$

So, the value of x is 12.

Therefore,

$ST=5\times12=60$

and

$SU=5x+3x+24=8x+24=8\times12+24=96+24=120.$

Thus, the required values are

x = 12 units, ST = 60 units and SU = 120 units.
