Answer:

Option 3. 71 ft. is the distance between B and top of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the hill is h ft and the distance of A from the hill be x ft and distance from B to hill is y.

It is given distance between A and B is 45 ft. ∠BAO = 65° and ∠ABO = 80°.

We have to find the distance of B from the top of the hill.

Now from ΔACO tan 65 = \frac{h}{45-x} = 2.14

h=2.14(45-x)

From ΔBCO tan80 = \frac{h}{x} = 5.67

h = 5.67x

Now h = 5.67x = 2.14(45-x)

5.67x = 96.3 - 2.14x

2.14x + 5.67x = 96.3

7.81x = 96.3

x = 96.3/7.81 = 12.33 ft

Therefore cos80 = \frac{x}{OB}

0.174 = \frac{12.33}{OB}

OB = \frac{12.33}{.174}=70.86=71ft.

Therefore 71 ft is the distance between B and the top of the hill.

Jarron has a piece of chalk tied to the end of a
solniwko [45]

Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.

How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .

:  

Let x = the circumference of the circle

then

(24-x) = the perimeter of the square

:

Find the area of the circle

find r

2*pi*r = x

r =  

Find the area of the circle

A =  

A =  

A =  sq/cm, the area of the circle

:

Find the area of the square

A =  sq/cm the area of the square

The total area

At =  +  

Graph this equation, find the min

Min occurs when x=10.6 cm

cut string 10.6 cm from one end

Find f(1/4)<br><br> if f(x)=4x^2-2/3x<br><br>please guys explain it to me I cant understand it ​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

f(1/4) = 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x is a function. The name of the function is simply the letter f. It tells you a rule. f(x) is the same as y.

It is the same as having

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

For each value of x you are given, you can calculate a corresponding value of y. Instead of calling y, y, we call y "f(x)" which is a way of showing that this relation is a function.

If you were given

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x and were asked to find the value of y when x = 1/4, what would you do?

You would substitute 1/4 for x in the expression 4x^2 - 2/3 x, and you'd find the value of y.

Being asked to find f(1/4) for function f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x means exactly the same. It means what is the value of the function when x = 1/4? What is the y value corresponding to an x value of 1/4?

Let's calculate it:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

To show we are evaluating the function at an x value of 1/4, we use the notation f(1/4). f(1/4) means find the value of y for function f when x = 1/4. We replace x with 1/4 and do the math.

f(1/4) = 4(1/4)^2 - (2/3)(1/4)

f(1/4) = 4(1/16) - 2/12

f(1/4) = 4/16 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/4 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 3/12 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/12

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line; (-5,-4) and prep. To y equals 5x plus 1
ohaa [14]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is defined by:  y=5x+1, where we see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept 1.

In order to find a line perpendicular to the given one, we need it to have a slope that is the "opposite of the reciprocal" of the given slope.

"Opposite" means it would have its sign inverted (in our case from positive to negative); and "reciprocal means that instead of 5, it would be its reciprocal: \frac{1}{5}.

We can write this new line with such slope, and try to find its y-intercept (b) by using the given condition that requires it to go through the point (-5,-4) on he plane:

y=-\frac{1}{5} x+b

we require then that when x=-5, the value of y=-4.

Therefore: -4=-\frac{1}{5} (-5)+b\\-4=\frac{5}{5} +b\\-4=1+b\\b=-4-1=-5

Then our final answer is that the new line should have the form: y=-\frac{1}{5} x-5
