A bridge on a river is modeled by the equation h = -0.2d2 + 2.25d, where h is the height and d is the horizontal distance. For c

leaning and maintenance purposes a worker wants to tie a taut rope on two ends of the bridge so that he can slide on the rope. The rope is at an angle defined by the equation -d + 6h = 21.77. If the rope is attached to the bridge at points A and B, such that point B is at a higher level than point A, at what distance from the ground level is point A?

The answer is 2.2108
Solution:
first equation:
h = -0.2d² + 2.25d-d + 6h = 21.77
2nd equation:-d + 6h = 21.77d = 6h - 21.77
Then substitute:h = -0.2(6h - 21.77)² + 2.25(6h - 21.77)h = 3.9968
Answer:d = 2.2108

Answer:

Point A is approximately 4 unit above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

A bridge on a river is modeled by the equation h = -0.2d² + 2.25d -------(1)

Where h is the height and d is the horizontal distance.

For cleaning and maintenance purpose a worker wants to tie a taut a rope on two ends of the bridge so that he can slide on the rope.

The rope is at an angle defined by the equation

-d + 6h = 21.77

d - 6h = -21.77

d = 6h - 21.77 -------(2)

Now we have to find the value of h which is the distance from the ground level.

Now we substitute d from equation 2 to equation 1

h = -0.2(6h - 21.77)²+ 2.25(6h - 21.77)

h = -0.2(36h²+ 473.9329 - 261.24h) + 13.5h - 48.9825

h = -(7.2h² + 94.79 - 52.25h) + 13.5h - 48.98

h = -7.2h² - 94.79 + 52.25h + 13.5h - 48.98

h = -7.2h² + 65.75h - 143.77

0 = -7.2h² + 65.75h - h - 143.77

0 = -7.2h² + 64.75h - 143.77

7.2h²- 64.75h + 143.77 = 0

Now we divide the equation by 7.2

h² - 9h + 20 = 0

h² - 5h - 4h + 20 = 0

h(h - 5) - 4(h - 5) = 0

(h - 4)(h - 5) = 0

h = 4 or 5

Therefore, point A is approximately 4 unit above the ground.

A figure has vertices at L(3,3), M(2,4), and N(−1,0). After a transformation, the image of the figure has vertices at L′(2,−5),
alexandr402 [8]

The transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5

And the image and preimage can be seen in the graph below.

<h3>How to identify the preimage and image?</h3>

First, the original vertices are:

L(3, 3)

M(2, 4)

N(-1, 0)

3 vertices means that our figure is a triangle.

Now, the transformed vertices are:

L'(2, -5)

M'(3, -4)

N'(-1, 1)

And the graph of both sets can be seen below.

Now we can try to identify the transformation.

Now, notice that all the points (L, M, N, L', N', M') are equidistant to the horizontal line x = -0.5

This is a clear implication that the transformation was a reflection over the line x = -0.5

A man travels 20 km by car from Town P to Town Q at an average speed of x km/h. He finds that the time of the journey would be s
yuradex [85]

Answer:

x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time.

First, we know that a man travels a distance of 20km at a speed of x km/h, in a time T.

We can write this as:

20km = (x km/h)*T

We know that the time is shortened by 12 minutes if the speed is increased by 5km/h

Rewriting these 12 minutes in hours (remember that 60min = 1 hour)

12 min = (12/60) hours = 0.2 hours

Then from this, he can travel the same distance of 20km in a time T minus 0.2 hours if the speed is increased by 5 km/h

We can write this as:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

Then we have a system of two equations, and we want to find the value of x:

20km = (x km/h)*T

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

First, we should isolate the variable T in one of the equations, if we isolate it in the first one, we will get:

20km/(x km/h) = T

Replacing that in the other equation we get:

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*(T - 0.2 h)

20km = (x + 5 km/h)*( 20km/(x km/h) - 0.2 h)

Now we can solve this for x.

Removing the units (that we know that are correct) so the math is easier to read, we get:

20 = (x + 5)*(20/x - 0.2)

We only want to solve this for x.

20 = x*20/x - x*0.2 + 5*20/x - 5*0.2

20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1

subtracting 20 in both sides we get:

20 - 20 = 20 - 0.2*x + 100/x - 1 - 20

0 = -0.2*x + 100/x - 1

If we multiply both sides by x we get:

0 = -0.2*x^2 + 100 - x

-0.2*x^2 - x + 100 = 0

This is just a quadratic equation, we can solve it using the Bhaskara's equation, the solutions are:

x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*(-0.2)*100} }{2*-0.2}  = \frac{1 \pm 9 }{-0.4}

Then the two solutions are:

x = (1 + 9)/-0.4 = -25

x = (1 - 9)/-0.4 = 20

As x is used to represent a speed, the negative solution does not make sense, so we should use the positive one.

x = 20

then the average speed initially is 20 km/h
