0 A two-inch-long grasshopper can jump a horizontal distance of 40 inches. An athlete, who is _ five feet nine, wants to cover a

distance of one mile by jumping. If this person could jump at the same ratio of body-length to jump-length as the grasshopper, determine, to the nearest jump, how many jumps it would take this athlete to jump one mile?

Answer:

a) nearest jump is JL = 1380 inches = 115ft

b) number of jumps in 1 mile N= 46 jumps

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the jump length is proportional to the body length.

If 2 inch grasshopper can jump 40 inches.

JL = k(BL)

k = JL/BL

where JL = jump length = 40 inches

BL = Body length = 2 inches.

k = 40/2 = 20

The constant of proportionality is 20.

For the athlete :

BL = 5ft 9 inches = 5(12)+9 = 69 inches.

The jump length of the athlete is:

JL = k(BL) = 20(69)

JL = 1380 inches. = 115ft

The number of jumps in 1 mile is

1 mile = 63360 inches

N = 63360/1380

N = 45.9 = 46

N= 46

Therefore, 46 jumps would be needed.

How to find the vertices of the hyperbole
torisob [31]

The answer is the second one

If you want a fast explanation

You have to remember that the minus sign indicates which direction the hyperbole will follow, if the minus is on x, that indicates the hyperbole will be vertical, and if the minus is in y, then it'll be horizontal

If you check the vertices points those indicates the length of 2a thus thatll be 6

To get the center just use middle point equation and you'll get (1,3)

Just to know, a indicates the distance from the center to the vertices, b indicates how wide the hyperbole box is, and c indicates the distance from center to focis

A=3

B=?

C=6

We use Pythagoras so

b =  \sqrt{(6) ^{2}  - (3) ^{2}  }

Thus you get

b =  \sqrt{27}

With that data now you can get the equation

You know that below (y-3)^2 there should be a^2 so that means there will be the 9

And in the (x-1)^2 there should be b^2 so that means there will be the 27

PD. The 3 besides y, and 1 besides x represent the center

Can someone please help me with #2?​
Norma-Jean [14]

For problem 2, you are correct in stating that a curve forms. Specifically, if we were to trace along the outer edge of the shape, then we'd form a <u>parabola</u> that has been tilted 45 degrees compared to the more familiar form that students are taught (where the axis of symmetry is vertical).

For more information, search out "Tangent method for parabolas". As the name implies, the tangent method draws out the tangents of the parabola which helps form the parabola itself.

Everything else on your paper is correct. You have problem 1 correct, and the table is filled out perfectly. Nice work.

A 13.5-meter ladder leans against a brick wall and the ladder makes a 75∘ with the wall. The distance d the ladder goes up the w
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

3.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance (d) the distance goes up the wall = adjacent to the angle 75° that is formed with the wall.

Length of ladder = the hypothenuse = 13.5 m

Thus, we would use:

Cos75 = adjacent/hypothenuse

Cos 75 = d/13.5

Multiply both sides by 13.5

13.5*cos(75) = d

13.5*0.2588 = d

3.4938 = d

d ≈ 3.5 m (nearest tenth)
