Answer:

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of the ramp represents the opposite side and the length of the ramp the hypotenuse

we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we choose the one with opposite and hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

sin α = 5ft / 23ft

sin α = 5/23

α = sin^-1 ( 5/23)

α = 12.56°

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

add the term that makes the given expression into a perfect square. write the result as the square of a bracketed expression c s
Molodets [167]
<h2>Perfect Squares</h2>

Perfect square formula/rules:

  • a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2
  • a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2

Trinomials are often organized like ax^2+bx+c.

The <em>b</em> value in this case is <em>c</em>, and it will always equal the square of half of the <em>b</em> value.

  • Perfect square trinomial: ax^2+bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2
  • or ax^2-bx+(\dfrac{b}{2})^2

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • c^2-4c

In a trinomial, we're given the ax^2 and bx values. <em>a</em> in this case is 1 and <em>b</em> in this case is 4. To find the third value by dividing 4 by 2 and squaring the quotient:

  • 4 ÷ 2 = 2
  • 2² = 4

Therefore, the term that we can add is + 4.

c^2-4c+4

To write this as the square of a bracketed expression, we can follow the rule a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2:

(c-2)^2

<h2>Answer</h2>

c^2-4c+4

(c-2)^2

Find all points on the portion of the plane x+y+z=5 in the first octant at which f(x, y, z) = xy2z2 has a maximum value.
irina1246 [14]
Lagrange multipliers:

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xy^2z^2+\lambda(x+y+z-5)

L_x=y^2z^2+\lambda=0
L_y=2xyz^2+\lambda=0
L_z=2xy^2z+\lambda=0
L_\lambda=x+y+z-5=0

\lambda=-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z

-y^2z^2=-2xyz^2\implies y=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-y^2z^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=2x (if y,z\neq0)

-2xyz^2=-2xy^2z\implies z=y (if x,y,z\neq0)

In the first octant, we assume x,y,z>0, so we can ignore the caveats above. Now,

x+y+z=5\iff x+2x+2x=5x=5\implies x=1\implies y=z=2

so that the only critical point in the region of interest is (1, 2, 2), for which we get a maximum value of f(1,2,2)=16.

We also need to check the boundary of the region, i.e. the intersection of x+y+z=5 with the three coordinate axes. But in each case, we would end up setting at least one of the variables to 0, which would force f(x,y,z)=0, so the point we found is the only extremum.

What is the range of the data shown on the stem-and-leaf plot? <br>93<br> 43 <br>50<br> 48
notsponge [240]

Answer: C) 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest number on the plot is 43.  The largest is 93.  The range of a chart is the largest number - the smallest number.  Thus, simply do 93-43 to get 50.

Hope it helps <3
