Consider triangle WBG, where points W, B and G represent Weather Station, Balloon and Ground, respectively. This triangle is right with right angle at vertex G. The legs of this triangle are GB and GW, the hypotenuse is BW.

From the question you know that GB=4 km and GW=1 km. By the Pythagorean theorem,

BW^2=GB^2+GW^2,\\ \\BW^2=4^2+1^2,\\ \\BW^2=17,\\ \\BW=\sqrt{17}\approx 4.123\text{ km.}

Answer: nearly 4.123 km

Which is a quadratic function having a leading coefficient of 3 and a constant term of –12? f(x) = –12x2 3x 1 f(x) = 3x2 11x – 1
eimsori [14]

The correct option is b.

<h2>Quadratic Equation</h2>

A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written in the form of

ax²+bx+c.

Where a is the leading coefficient, and

c is the constant.

<h2>Leading coefficient </h2>

The leading coefficient of an equation is a coefficient of the term having the highest power in the equation.

Given options:

a.)  f(x) = -12x^2+3x+1 \\

b.)  f(x) = 3x^2+11x-12 \\

c.)  f(x) = 12x^2+3x+3\\

d.)  f(x) = 3x -12.

<h3 /><h3>Solution</h3>

As it is given that the leading coefficient of the equation is 3. therefore, the value of the 'a' in the general quadratic equation is 3,

3x²+bx+c,

Also, the value of the constant is -12, therefore, the value of c is -12,

3x²+bx-12

From all the given options the only feasible option is b only.

Hence, the correct option is b.

8z=4(2z+1) show step by step
Verizon [17]
8z=4(2z+1)
First you would distribute the constant into the numbers in the parentheses. so
8z=8z+4
then you would combine like terms which in this case would result in a zero.
8z-8z=0 So the z would be zero or no solution.

At a garden shop, a customer buys 5 geraniums and 4 lilies for $48. Another customer pays $58 for 4 geraniums and 6 lilies. Writ
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.
