A bird feeder stands perpendicular to the ground. In the afternoon sun, the bird feeders shadow is half its height. If the dista

nce between the top of the bird feeder and the top of the shadow is 19 feet, how tall is the bird feeder and how long is the shadow?

By connecting the top of the height of the bird feeder and the tip of the shadow casted, we form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is equal to the given distance between the top of the bird feeder and the top of the shadow which is equal to 19 feet. 

If we let x be the height of the bird feeder and x/2 be the length of the shadow, by Pythagorean theorem,
                                       x² + (0.5x)² = 19²
The value of x from the equation is 16.99 ft or 17 ft. 
Thus, the height of the bird feeder is 17 ft and the shadow is approximately 8.5 ft.

Sketch a quadratic function with the given characteristics.
xeze [42]

Answer:

See photo below

Add arrows to the two ends of the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch this quadratic function, we to connect three dots: the two roots and a vertex.

The given roots are -1 and 1.

Draw <u>two dots at the x-intercepts</u>, which are (-1, 0) and (1, 0).

Vertex dot: V (x, y)

The vertex x-coordinate always in the middle of the two roots. The middle of -1 and 1 is 0. That's the same as the y-axis.

V (0, y)

Since the function increases when x < 0, the parabola will <u>open up</u>.

We read from left to right. The greater numbers are towards the top of the page.

<u>You can put the vertex anywhere on the y-axis that is below the x-axis.</u>

Given the cost function C(x) = 0.81x + 60, 420 and the revenue function R(x) = 1.87x, find the break-even point
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x = 57,542.8571

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 0.81x + 60,420

R(x) = 1.87x

At break even point, Cost function and revenue function becomes equal.

-> C(x) = R(x)

-> 0.81x + 60,420 = 1.87x

-> 60420 = 1.87x - 0.82x

-> 60420 = 1.05x

-> x = 60420/1.05

-> x = 57,542.8571

Thus, at break even point x = 57,542.8571

X= ?? geometry ??? And how ????
steposvetlana [31]

Using the equations for tangent and secant lines:

Let the unknown length of the line inside the circle = y

6^2 = 3 x (y+3)

Simplify:

36 = 3y+9

Subtract 9 from both sides:

27 =3y

Divide both sides by 3:

Y = 9

Now add to get x:

X = 9 + 3 = 12

X = 12

In the diagram shown of circle A, segments UV and UT are congruent. If
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that points S, T, U, V all lie on the circle.

Inscribed angle TUV intercepts long arc VST and short arc VUT. The long arc has measure 220°, so the measure of the short arc is 360° -220° = 140°.

Since chords UV and UT are the same length, point U bisects arc VUT. That means the measure of arc VU is 140°/2 = 70°.

Inscribed angle VSU intercepts arc VU, so has half the measure of the arc:

 ∠VSU = 70°/2

 ∠VSU = 35°
