Answer:

7, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

( n-9)^2 = n-3

Foil the right

n^2 -18n +81 = n-3

Subtract n from each side

n^2 -19n +81 =-3

Add 3 to each side

n^2 -19n +84 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 84 and add to -19

-12*-7 = 84

-12+-7 = -19

( n-7) (n-12) =0

Using the zero product property

n-7 =0 n-12= 0

n=7 n=12

a cargo ship arrived at Kingston Harbour carrying 403,172 kilograms of flour. All the flour was tranfered to 5 trains and 9 truc

IrinaVladis [17]

Each train carried 64141 kg of flour and each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each train be 'a'

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each truck be 'b'

Total flour = 403172 kg

No. Of trains = 5

No. of trucks = 9

a = 7(b)

5a + 9b = 403172

5(7b) + 9b = 403172

35b + 9b = 403172

44b = 403172

b = 403172/44

b = 9163

Each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

a = 7b

a = 7(9163)

a = 64141

Each train carried 64141 kg of flour.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The length of shadow decrease at 0.48 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of man from building = x

Thus initially, x = 12

It is given that dx/dt= -1.3 m/s

Let the shadow height = Y

Now solve for the $dy/dt$ when x=4

from the diagram (triangle) it can be seen similar triangles with similar base/height ratios.

$\frac{2}{12-x} = \frac{y}{12} \\Y = \frac{24}{12 - x} \\ \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{24}{(12-x)^{2}} \times \frac{dx}{dt} \\at x=4, dy/dt \ becomes: \\\frac{24}{(12-4)^2} \times -1.3 \\= -0.48 m/s$
