Answer: h = 68.5, 51.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right angle triangle. The base is the sea and the line perpendicular to it is the cliff  

The base is the distance of from boat to the cliff is 104

Let the height of the cliff be h.

The hypotenuse, the distance from the top of the cliff to the boat is therefore 2h-26

Pythagoras tells us that  

(2h−26)^2  = 104^2 + h^2

4h^2 − 52h + 289 = 10816 + h^2

3h^2 − 52h − 10527 = 0

h=68.5, 51.2

The other result is negative and therefore not relevant.

If you cannot factorize then solve using the formula.

victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= \frac{1}{4}

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

  y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

  Y = \frac{1}{4}X + 8

rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, point O, then a reflection across the x-axis reflection across the y-a
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The point O can be (x,y)  or (-x,y) or (-x,-y) or ( x,-y) reason being that you haven't given point O lies in which quadrant.

Rotation through 90° counter clockwise

(x,y) = (-y,x)

(-x,y)=(-y,-x)

(-x,-y)=(y,-x)

(x,-y) =(y,x)

Then Reflection across X axis has taken place.

(-y,x) = (-y,-x)

(-y,-x)=(-y,x)

(y,-x)=(y,x)

(y,x)=(y,-x)

Then a reflection across the y-axis has taken place.

(-y,-x)=(y,-x)

(-y,x) = (y,x)

(y,x) =(-y,x)

(y,-x)=(-y,-x)

Then a translation a units to the right and b units up has taken place.

(y,-x)=(y+a,-x+b)

(y,x) =(y+a, x+b)

(-y,x) =(-y+a,x+b)

(-y,-x)=(-y+a,-x+b)

Then a rotation of 180 degrees counterclockwise about the origin has taken place.

(y+a,-x+b)=[-(y+a),-(-x+b)]

(y+a, x+b)=[- (y+a), -(x+b)]

(-y+a,x+b)=[-(-y+a),-(x+b)]

(-y+a,-x+b) =[-(-y+a),-(-x+b)]

Now Again a reflection across the Y axis has taken place.

[-(y+a),-(-x+b)]=[(y+a),-(-x+b)]

[-(y+a),-(x+b)]=[(y+a),-(-x+b)]

[-(-y+a),-(x+b)]=[(-y+a),-(x+b)]

[-(-y+a),-(-x+b)]=[(-y+a),-(-x+b)]

Totally depends on value of a and b on which quadrant these point lies.

An arch is in the shape of a parabola. It has a span of 100 feet and a maximum height of 25 ft.
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An arch is in the shape of a parabola. It has a span of 100 feet, the vertex lies at the center 50 and the maximum height of 25 ft.

Vertex at (50,25)

vertex form of the equation is

y=a(x-h)^2+k, (h,k) is the center

y=a(x-50)^2+25

the parabola starts at (0,0) that is (x,y)

0=a(0-50)^2+25

subtract 25 from both sides

-25=a(-50)^2

-25=a(2500)

divide both sides by 2500

a=-\frac{1}{100}

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center.

center is at 50, 10 feet from the center so x=40 and x=60

y=-\frac{1}{100}(40-50)^2+25

y=24

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

Find the point of diminishing returns (x comma y )for the function​ R(x), where​ R(x) represents revenue​ (in thousands of​ doll
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The point of diminishing returns (x , y ) is  (11, 21462)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The function is  R(x) =  10,000 -x^3 - 33x^2 + 800x ,  \ \ 0 \le x \le 20

Here R(x)  represents revenue (in thousands of​ dollars) and  x  represents the amount spent on advertising​ (in thousands of​ dollars).

           Now  differentiating  R(x) we have  

               R'(x) =  -3x^2 +66x + 800

Finding the second derivative of R(x)

              R''(x) =  -6x +66

at  inflection point    R''(x) =  0

    So      -6x  +66  = 0

=>           x=  11

    substituting value of x into R(x)

     R(x) =  10,000 -(11)^3 - 33(11)^2 + 800(11) ,

      R(x) = 21462

Now the point of diminishing returns (x , y ) i.e (x , R(x) ) is

     (11, 21462)
