The highway forming three cities form a right triangle.Walnut Grove is 91.7 miles from Pecan City and 52.4 miles from Almondvill

e. Pecan City is 75.3 miles from Almondville. A road is being planned to connect Almondville to the highway running between Walnut Grove and Pecan City. What is the shortest length possible for that road? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer: 43.02 miles (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the entire situation is shown by a triangle CAB,

In which A shows Almondville, B shows Walnut Grove and C shows Pecan City.

Also, D\in BC such that AD\perp BC

Thus, According to the question, AB = 52.4 miles

AC = 75.3 miles and BC = 91.7 miles.

And, We have to find out AD = ?

Since, CAB and CDA are right angle triangles.

Where, ∠CAB≅∠CDA

∠ACB≅∠ACD

Thus, By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle CAB\sim \triangle CDA

Therefore, by the property of similarity,

\frac{AB}{DA} = \frac{CB}{AC}

⇒ \frac{52.4}{DA} = \frac{91.7}{75.3}

⇒ DA= \frac{75.3\times 52.4}{91.7}

⇒  DA= \frac{3945}{91.7}

⇒  DA= 43.0285714286≈ 43.02 miles

Thus, the shortest length possible for that road= 43.02 miles (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x - 3 = x + 3

Solving like terms

-3 - 3 = x + x

-6 = 2x

-6 / 2 = x

-3 = x

MODELING A WATER WHEEL

Answer:

The true statements include

- This is the pattern for a sine function.

- The amplitude is 1

- The vertical shift is 0

- An equation for this graph is y = sin(x)

The only untrue statement is

- The graph follows the zero-max-zero-min-zero pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing the graph of the function presented, one can examine the options and pick the true options from them all.

Statement 1

The graph follows the zero-max-zero-min-zero pattern.

From the graph, it is obvious that this is a false claim as the graph doesn't follow a zero-max-zero-min-zero pattern, rather, its values range from 0 to 1 to 0 to -1, then it goes back to zero to repeat the cycle all over.

Statement 2

This is the pattern for a sine function.

This is true. A sine wave follows the exact pattern that this plot follows; its values range from 0 to 1 to 0 to -1, then it goes back to zero to repeat the cycle all over.

Statement 3

The amplitude is 1

This is true. The amplitude of a motion of a body refers to the maximum displacement of that body from the equilibrium position. From this plot, it is evident that that amplitude is 1 for the vertical motion of this barnacle.

Statement 4

The vertical shift is 0

The vertical shift of the plot refers to how far the equilibrium position of the motion is from the origin line (x-axis line). And for this motion and plot, the equilibrium position for the vertical motion, is placed on the x-axis, indicating a vertical shift of 0.

Statement 5

An equation for this graph is y = sin(x)

This is true. As described under statement 2 and as evident from the corresponding values of x and y from the plot; with x in radians, the values of y can be obtained by taking the sin of the value of x, indicating that this plot is a plot of y = sin x

Hope this Helps!!!

the parabola y=x^2 is shifted up by 2 units and to the right by 3 units. what is the equation of the new porabola
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Up 2 units = y shifted up by 2:
y = x^2 + 2
to the right 3 units = x shifted right (+) by 3:
y + 3 = x^2 +2
new equation:
y = x^2 - 1

Answer:

  1. 13x² - 19x + 23
  2. -16x +17

Step-by-step explanation:

1 . (4x² - 9x + 16) + (7 + 9x² - 10x)

4x² - 9x + 16 + 7 + 9x² - 10x

13x² - 19x + 23

2 . (-2x + 6) - (14x - 11)

-2x + 6 - 14x + 11

-16x +17
