The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given situation as a right triangle with string as hypotenuse and the distance between both girls as base

So,

$h = 50\ yards\\b = 35\ yards$

As the triangle is a right triangle, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this problem.

$h^2 = b^2 + p^2\\p^2 = h^2 - b^2\\p^2 = (50)^2 - (35)^2\\p^2 = 2500-1225\\p^2 = 1275\\\sqrt{p^2} = \sqrt{1275}\\p = 35.707\ yards$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

=> 35.71 yards

Hence,

The distance of Erika from kite directly is 35.71 yards

For this case what we should know is that the function that best adapts to this problem is given by:
y = 2 * (4) ^ x
The graph of the function is shown for two different intervals:
A small interval of -1.5 to 0.5
A larger interval of -6.5 to 6.5.
In both intervals the exponential growth of the function is demonstrated.

The expression (q16)(q−5)2 is equivalent to qn. What is the value of n? 42 22 -160 13

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get one of the answer choices, it appears we need to interpret your input as ...

$(q^{16}q^{-5})^2 = (q^{16-5})^2=q^{11\cdot 2}=q^{22}$

The value of n is 22.

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

F(x) = 4x^3+...+ 9<br>list all possible rational zeroes of the function

Maru [420]

The Rational Root Theorem says any rational zeros of f must be a fraction with a factor of the constant (9 here) in the numerator and a factor of the leading coefficient (4 here) in the denominator. We have to include negative factors.

Factors of 9: -9, -3, -1, 1, 3, 9

Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4

We only have to consider negative numbers for the numerator to get all the possible values.

We just make the list, going through all the numerators one denominator at a time.

Possible rational zeros, i.e. possible rational values for x such that f(x)=0 are

Answer: -9, -3, -1, 1, 3, 9, -9/2, -3/2, -1/2, 1/2, 3/2, 9/2, -9/4, -3/4, -1/4, 1/4, 3/4, 9/4

Find the distance between (-2,7) and (3, -3). Round to the nearest tenth. Geometry please help

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for distance when given vertices is

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2- y1)²

Where we have points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

So, (-2,7) and (3, -3)

Distance = √(3 -(-2))² + (-3 -7)²

= √5² + (-10)²

= √25 + 100

= √125

= 15

Therefore, the distance between (-2,7) and (3, -3) is 15
