The tallest building in Africa is the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. What is the distance from the top of this 73
Contact [7]

Answer:

b = 33 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms a right angled triangle. The opposite side of the triangle is where we are looking for . The adjacent side is the radius 4000 miles.

5280 ft = 1 mile

735 ft = ? miles

cross multiply

735/5280

miles = 0.13920454545  miles

The hypotenuse side is the height of the building + 4000 miles = 0.140 + 4000 = 4000.14  miles

using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

c = 4000.14

a = 4000

4000.14² = 4000² + b²

b² = 4000.14² - 4000²

b² = 16001120.0196  - 16000000

b² = 1120.0196

b = √1120.0196

b = 33.4666938911

b = 33 miles

Fit a quadratic function to these three points:<br> (-2,8), (0, -4), and (4, 68)<br> Respuesta
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

f(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be y = f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

For the point (-2, 8)  ( x = -2 when y = 8) we have:

a(-2)^2 + (-2)b + c = 8

4a - 2b + c = 8      For (0, -4) we have:

0 + 0 + c = -4   so c = -4.    For (4, 68) we have:

16a + 4b + c = 68  

So we have 2 systems of equations in a and b ( plugging in c = -4):

4a - 2b - 4 = 8

16a + 4b - 4 = 68

4a - 2b = 12

16a + 4b = 72    Multiplying 4a - 2b = 12 by 2 we get:

8a - 4b = 24  

Adding the last 2 equations:

24a = 96

a = 4

Now plugging a = 4 and c = -4 in the first equation:

4(4) - 2b - 4 = 8

-2b = 8 - 16 + 4 = -4

b = 2.
