A 15 ft. telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The wire and the ground form a 42 angle.

How long is the wire, and what is the distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground?

An angle measures 40.2° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

vampirchik [111]

<h3>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h3><h3>Answer:</h3>

$24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Recall that Angles that are complementary to each other add up to $90^{\circ}$ .

Let $a$ be the measure of the complementary angle.

If an angle is $40.2^{\circ}$ more than its complementary angle, the measure of that angle is $a +40.2$ . The sum of both angles are expressed $a +(a +40.2)$ but since the have to add to $90$ as they are complementary, $a +(a +40.2) = 90$ .

Solving for $a$ :

$a +(a +40.2) = 90 \\ a +a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 = 90 \\ 2a +40.2 -40.2 = 90 -40.2 \\ 2a = 49.8 \\ \frac{2a}{2} = \frac{49.8}{2} \\ a = 24.9$

Since the other angle measures $a +40.2$ , we can plug in the value of $a$ to find the measure of the angle.

Evaluating $a +40.2$ :

$a +40.2 \\ 24.9 +40.2 \\ 65.1$

The measure of the angles are $24.9^{\circ}$ and $65.1^{\circ}$

How do i complete the rest of the table

Rufina [12.5K]

To find Vanilla for ages 8-12, you add up the known amount from each flavor for that age group and subtract it from the total to get... 50 - (25 + 12) = 13
To find Chocolate for ages 13-17, you add up the amount of people know to pick up late and subtract it from the total amount of people who picked chocolate to get... 100 - (35 + 25) = 40
Now that we have that number, we can use it to find the amount of people ages 13-17 who chose Vanilla. To find this you subtract the total amount of people who chose chocolate and strawberry from the total amount of people to get... 80 - (40 + 12) = 28

This should help :)

Consider the equation ay'' + by' + cy = d, where a, b, c, and d are constants. (a) find all equilibrium, or constant, solutions

Orlov [11]

Rewrite equation so that it is homogeneous .
$ay'' +by' + cy = 0$

Solve characteristic equation:
$ar^2 +br + c = 0 \\ \\ r = \frac{(-b) \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

The solutions to the homogeneous equation are:
$y = k_1 e^{r_1 t} + k_2 e^{r_2 t}$

Finally you need the constant term in "cy" to equal 'd' to satisfy the particular solution.
$y= k_1 e^{r_1 t} + k_2 e^{r_2 t} + \frac{d}{c}$

Does the point (–9, 8) satisfy the equation y = –x + 1?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1. 3x+3y=9 since it is a coinciding line.It is equivalent because all the terms are multiplied by 3 from the original equation.

2. x-4=3x+4

x=3x+8

-2x=8

x=-4

y=-4-4

y=-8

please mark me brainlyest <i cant spell it i think i spelled it wrong lol >
