Mathematics

Answer: 29.41 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- The fat percentage that the person has is 17.2%

- The person weighs 171 pounds.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of pounds of her weight is made up of fat (which you can call x), you must multiply the weight of the person by the fat percentage.

Therefore, you obtain the following result:

x=171lb*0.172\\x=29.41lb

5x^2-2x=2<br>help plsmmm​
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Presumably you're solving for x here?  Without further information we'll assume that.

With that in mind, x is approximately equal to 0.86 and -0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by putting it in the usual ax² + bx + c format.

5x^2- 2x = 2\\5x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0\\

let's solve it.  First we'll multiply both sides by five, making the first term a perfect square:

25x^2 - 10x - 10 = 0\\

Now we'll add 11 to both sides:

25x^2 - 10x + 1 = 11\\

Which makes the left side a perfect square:

(5x - 1)^2 = 11

And now we can solve for x:

(5x - 1)^2 = 11\\\\5x - 1 =  \sqrt{11} \\\\5x = 1 + \sqrt{11}\\\\x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}

Note that there's no apparent way of drawing the ± symbol when editing equations, so take that + sign as actually being ±.

That gives us two answers:

x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 + 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{4.32}5\\\\x \approx 0.86             x = \frac{1 - \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 - 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{-2.32}5\\\\x \approx -0.46

sveticcg [70]
You have a bag containing 8 + 20 = 28 marbles.

After you pull a black marble you have 28 - 1 = 27 remaining marbles.

There are 20 yellow marbles in the bag.

The probability of pulling a yellow marble is now

If you had a 15 foot ladder, how far away from the base of a wall would you have to put it to reach a window 12 feet up?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

9.000000001

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is  15, the ladder, facing the right angle, and the opposite is 12 we need to use SOH to find the angle.

sin of angle is opposite / hypotenuse

sin of angle is 12 / 15

12/15 = 0.8

sin^-1 of 0.8 = 53.13010235

Angle is that

Then we do this again but a different equation

cos of angle is adjacent (x which we are looking for) / hypotenuse

cos of 53.13... is x / 15

(15 x cos of 53.13... )is x

So 15 x cos of 53.13... is 9.000000001 feet away.
