I'm sorry but I'm confused, Is the rope connected like A or B, if it's connected like the picture A then it's 5.8ft but if connected like B then it is 7.6ft

Answer:

The length of the rope is 7.6 ft ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, The line segment AB shows the length of the pole, ( where A is the top and B is the bottom ) and line segment AC shows the rope,

According to the question,

AB = 3.5 ft,

BC = 6.8 ft,

Since, the pole must be vertical with respect to the ground,

That is, ∠ABC = 90°,

Thus, by Pythagoras theorem,

AC² = AB² + BC²

⇒ AC² = 3.5² + 6.8² = 12.25 + 46.24 = 58.49,

⇒ AC = √ 58.49 = 7.64787552 ≈ 7.6 ft

Hence, the length of the rope is approximately 7.6 ft.

Which of the following is the inverse of the given function? Y=3x^5-4
lawyer [7]

y\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }(\frac{x\textrm{ }+\textrm{ }4}{3} )^{\frac{1}{5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

   Given function y\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }3x^{5}\textrm{ }-\textrm{ }4

   To find an inverse for any given function, which is of the form y=f(x), always swap x and y in the equation and try to get the form  x=f(y). Now, swapping back x and y, we get the inverse function.

   On swapping x and y, we get x\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }3y^{5}\textrm{ }-\textrm{ }4

y\textrm{ }+\textrm{ }4\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }3x^{5}

x^{5}\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }\frac{y\textrm{ }+\textrm{ }4}{3}

x\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }(\frac{y\textrm{ }+\textrm{ }4}{3} )^{\frac{1}{5} }

   Swapping back x and y, we get y\textrm{ }=\textrm{ }(\frac{x\textrm{ }+\textrm{ }4}{3} )^{\frac{1}{5} }

   This is the inverse function.

Put the equation in standard form y=-4/5x+2
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

4x +5y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of an equation is Ax +By = C

y=-4/5x+2

Add 4/5 x to each side

4/5 x +y=-4/5x+ 4/5x+2

4/5 x + y = 2

Now we don't have fractions in A ,B  or C

So Multiply by 5

5(4/5 x + y) = 2*5

Distribute

4x +5y = 10
