I do roadwork site 20 cones are placed on 50 feet of road. at this rate, how many cones are placed along 35 feet of road?

1 answer:

5 0

You would cross multiply for this.
$\frac{20}{50} = \frac{x}{35}$

20 · 35 = 700
Then you would divide.
700 ÷ 50 = 14

There would be 14 cones placed along 35 feet of road.

I'm assuming you meant:

$tan^{2}x + tanx - 30 = 0$
Let $u = tan(x)$

Thus, we can rewrite it into a quadratic.

$u^{2} + u - 30 = 0$
$(u + 6)(u - 5) = 0$
$u = -6 or u = 5$

Hence, $tan(x) = -6$ or $tan(x) = 5$
$x = tan^{-1}(-6)$ or $x = tan^{-1}(5)$

Rewriting it in general form, we get:
$x = \pi \cdot n + tan^{-1}(5), n \in Z$
$x = \pi \cdot n - tan^{-1}(6), n \in Z$

From there, you can find your solutions from $[0, 2\pi)$

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V space equals space 4 over 3 Ïr cubed. Find the radius to the nearest hundredth of a

rjkz [21]

Answer:

r = 1.68 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere, V = 4/3πr³

V = 20 ft³

π = 3.14

r = ?

V = 4/3πr³

20 = 4/3 × 3.14 × r³

20 = (4×3.14×r³)/3

Cross product

20 × 3 = 4 × 3.14 × r³

60 = 12.56r³

r³ = 60/12.56

= 4.7771

r = 3√4.7771

= 1.6842

Approximately

r = 1.68 ft to the nearest hundredth

Verify that the following equation is an identity. (1/sinx) - (1/cscx) = cscx - sinx

Anarel [89]

Manipulating the left side of the equation, we obtain:

$\dfrac{1}{\sin x}-\dfrac{1}{\csc x}=\dfrac{\csc x-\sin x}{\sin x\cdot\csc x}$

Using that $\csc x=\dfrac{1}{\sin x}$ :

$\dfrac{\csc x-\sin x}{\sin x\cdot\csc x}=\dfrac{\csc x-\sin x}{\sin x\cdot\dfrac{1}{\sin x}}=\dfrac{\csc x-\sin x}{1}=\csc x-\sin x\\\\\boxed{\dfrac{1}{\sin x}-\dfrac{1}{\csc x}=\csc x-\sin x}~~\blacksquare$
