Answer:

14.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In a see-saw in equilibrium, the torque generated by one side needs to be the same generated in the other side. The torque is calculated by the product between the mass and the distance to the center of the see-saw.

The torque generated by the child is:

T1 = 60 * 3 = 180 lb*feet

So, the torque generated by the weight needs to be higher than T1 in order to lift the child.

The lowest mass is calculated when the mass is in the maximum distance, that is, 12.5 feet from the center.

So, we have that:

T2 = 180 = mass * 12.5

mass = 180/12.5 = 14.4 lb

So the lowest weight is 14.4 lb

when solving this, do i take it out of the parenthesis or make it into a square root? because its very confusing.

Finding the inverse function:

We are given a function y = f(x). To find the inverse function, we exchange x with y in the original function, and then isolate y.

So

We are given the function:

f(x)=(x+7)^5

So

y=(x+7)^5

Changing x with y

x=(y+7_{})^5

Now, we have to isolate y. So

(y+7)^5=x

We can apply the fifth root to both sides. So:

\sqrt[5]{(y+7)^5}=\sqrt[5]{x}y+7=\sqrt[5]{x}f^{-1}(x)=y=\sqrt[5]{x}-7

What is the answer??

Answer:

HK = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

LM = (1/2) HK          {Mid point theorem}

10x - 90 = \frac{1}{2}(10x - 80) \\

2*(10x - 90) = 10x - 80

2*10x - 2*90 = 10x - 80

20x - 180     = 10x - 80                   {add 180 to both sides}

           20x  = 10x - 80 + 180

          20x  = 10x +100              {Subtract 10x from both sides from }

     20x -10x = 100

            10x  = 100

                x = 100/10

               x = 10

HK = 10x - 80

     = 10*10 - 80

     = 100 - 80

     = 20
