Answer:

approximate 23.590 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 65° = x / 11 = 2.145

x = 11 x 2.145 = 23.595

Answer: 23. 590

Step-by-step explanation:

Fromthe diagram attached here

hypotenuse = 11

adjacent = height of tree =x

θ = 65

Tan θ = Opposite / adjacent

tan65 = x / 11

cross multiply

x = 11 × tan65

x = 11 × 2. 1445

x = 23. 589

x = 23. 590 approximately

Therefore the height of the tree is 23. 590

Solve this application problem using a system of equations: The Bright College footballteam scored 80 times last season, some on
Goryan [66]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ 69 \ \textbf{touchdowns } 11 \ \textbf{field goals } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Touchdown is 7 points, field goals is 3 points

Let's note a the number of touchdowns and b the number of field goals, we can write

   (1)    a + b = 80

   (2)    7a + 3b = 516

(2) - 3*(1) gives

7a + 3b - 3(a + b) = 516 - 3*80

<=> 7a + 3b -3a - 3b = 516 - 240 = 276

<=> 4a = 276

<=> a=\dfrac{276}{4}=69

And then from (1) b = 80 - 69 = 11

Hope this helps

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are​ known, the equation of a circle can be found.​ First, find
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The equation of the circle is (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are​ known, the equation of a circle can be found.​ First, find the midpoint of the​ diameter, which is the center of the circle. Then find the​ radius, which is the distance from the center to either endpoint of the diameter. Finally use the​ center-radius form to find the equation.

Find the center-radius  form of the circle having the points (1,4) and (-7,6) as the endpoints of a diameter.

Consider that, if both points are the endpoints of a diameter, the center of the circle is the point that is exactly in the middle of the two points (that is, the point whose distance to each point is equal). Given points (a,b) and (c,d), by using the distance formula, you can check that the middle point is the average of the coordinates. Hence, the center of the circle is given by

(\frac{1-7}{2}, \frac{4+6}{2}) = (-3,5).

We will find the radius. Recall that the radius of the circle is the distance from one point of the circle to the center. Recall that the distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by \sqrt[]{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}. So, let us use (1,4) to calculate the radius.

r = \sqrt[]{(1-(-3))^2+(4-5)^2} = \sqrt[]{17}.

REcall that given a point (x_0,y_0). The equation of a circle centered at the point (x_0,y_0) is

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2 = r^2

In our case, (x_0,y_0)=(-3,5) and r=\sqrt[]{17}. Then, the equation is

(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2 = (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17

at a grocery store, an uncooked beef roast is on sale for $5.99/lb. At the same grocery store, prepared roast beef is available
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$7.58/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

raw roast: $5.99 per lb

deli roast: $2.99 for 100g

We know the price per lb of the raw roast.

Let's find the price per lb of the deli roast.

1 lb = 454 grams

454 grams / 100 grams = 4.54

1 lb is 4.54 times 100 g

If we multiply the price of 100g of deli roast by 4.54, we get teh price per lb.

$2.99/lb * 4.54 = $13.57/lb

raw roast: $5.99/lb

deli roast: $13.57/lb

difference in price of 1 lb: $13.57 - $5.99 = $7.58

Answer: $7.58/lb

d^2y/dx^2=sqrt(1+(dy/dx)^2 state the order of the given ordinary differential equation. Determine whether the equation is linear
Georgia [21]
This is a second-order ODE since the highest order derivative is 2 (from \dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}).

It's not linear because it doesn't take the form

F\left(\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2},\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx},y,x\right)=0\iff f_2(x)\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}+f_1(x)\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+f_0(x)y+g(x)=0

and it's not possible to rewrite it as such.
