The height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the below diagram, AB is the height of the kite and AC is the 12 ft line attached to it.

The line is pulled taut and casts a 10 ft shadow. That means BC = 10 ft

Now, in right angle triangle ABC, using <u>Pythagorean theorem</u>....

(AB)^2 +(BC)^2 = (AC)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +(10)^2 = (12)^2 \\ \\ (AB)^2 +100 = 144\\ \\ (AB)^2 = 144-100 =44\\ \\ AB=\sqrt{44}= 6.6332....

So, the height of the kite will be 6.6 ft rounded to the nearest tenth.

a 10 gram sample of a substance that's used to detect explosives has k-value of 0.1353, find the substance half life in days, Ro
IrinaK [193]
We find the value of N₀ since we are provided with initial conditions.
The condition is that, at time t = 0, the amount of substance contains originally 10 grams.
We substitute:
10 = N₀ (e^(-0.1356)*0)
10 = N₀ (e^0)
N₀ = 10

When the substance is in half-life (meaning, the half of the original amount), it contains 5 grams. We solve t in this case.
5 = 10 e^(-0.1356*t)
0.5 = e^(-0.1356*t)
Multiply natural logarithms on both sides to bring down t.
ln(0.5) = -0.1356*t
Hence,
t = -(ln(0.5))/0.1356
t ≈ 5.11 days (ANSWER)

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D)

y > x + 4

y ≥ -3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue line's boundary is above the line and dotted (>) so the equation: y > x + 4

Red line's boundary is above the line and solid (≥) so the equation: y ≥ -3x - 2

Answer

D)

y > x + 4

y ≥ -3x - 2
