The sisters weight is 16 this is because we know that the brother equals 36. Subtract 4 from that 36 to get the problem to 3w=w+32. So we know that 32 is 2/3 of the 3w because there is only 1 w on that side of the problem. That means that 32 has to equal 2w so divide 32 by 2 to find what w equals.

The angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of a pyramid is 31 degrees 10​' The angle of elevation from a point
mart [117]

Answer:

h ≈ 209 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms 2 right angle triangle with same height , which is the height of the pyramid.

The first triangle has an unknown adjacent side and height but the angle is 31° 10'. The larger triangle has adjacent side of 120 ft plus the adjacent side of the smaller triangle.

let

the adjacent side of the smaller triangle = a

recall both triangle have same height = h

Therefore,

tan 31° 10' = opposite/adjacent = h/a

tan 31.167 = h/a

h = a tan 31.167

h = 0.6048345941  a

The larger triangle

adjacent side = 120 + a

height = h

tan 24° 10' = h/120 + a

convert the minutes to degree

tan 24.167° = h/120 + a

cross multiply

120 + a tan 24.167 = h

120 + a (0.44872570999 ) = h

h = 53.8470851998  + 0.44872570999a

Therefore,

0.6048345941  a  = 53.8470851998  + 0.44872570999a

0.6048345941  a  - 0.44872570999a = 53.8470851998

0.1561094942 a = 53.8470851998

divide both sides by 0.1561094942

a = 53.8470851998 / 0.1561094942

a = 344.931520506

a ≈ 345 ft

The height can be computed as

tan 31.167 = h/a

h = 345 × tan 31.167

h = 345 × 0.6048345941

h = 208.667934967

h ≈ 209 ft

If f(x) = 1x1 + 9 and g(x) = -6, which describes the value of (f + g)(x)?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The answers are "(f+g)(x)> 3 for all values of x" and "(f+g)(x)<6 for all values of x".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If f(x) = 1x1 + 9 =10, then f(x) is a constant for every value of x, which means that y=f(x) will take the value of 10 no matter which value takes x.
  • If g(x)= -6, then  g(x) is a constant for every value of x, which means that it will take the value of -6 no matter the value of x.
  • (f+g)(x)=10 + (-6) = 10 - 6= 4. Then, no matter the value of x, the function (f+g)(x) will equal 4 (a constant).
  • According to the available options, both "(f+g)(x)>3" and "(f+g)(x)<6" are true, because (f+g)(x)=4>3 and (f+g)(x)=4 <6.

Find the value of n for which the vectors a⃗ =(3,2)a→=(3,2) and b⃗ =(9,n)b→=(9,n) are collinear.​
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

For n=6, the given vectors will be collinear.

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinear vectors are the vectors which lie on the same line or parallel lines. In order to find if two vectors are collinear, their ratio is found. If the ratio is same for all unit vectors then the vectors are collinear.

Given

a = (a_1, a_2) = (3,2)\\b = (b_1, b_2) = (9,n)

The ratio of first unit vectors is:

\frac{a_1}{b_1} = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}

In order for the vectors to be collinear the other ratio should also be 1/3

\frac{a_2}{b_2} = \frac{1}{3}

Writing it mathematically

\frac{2}{n} = \frac{1}{3}\\2*3 = n\\n = 6

Hence,

For n=6, the given vectors will be collinear.

Jonathan's piggy bank contains 20 nickels, 30 quarters, and 50 one-dollar coins. He picks 20 coins from the bank at random; 12 o
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Theoretical probability: 50/100 or 50%

Experimental probability: 12/20 or 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out both probabilities asked.

Theoretical probability:

In the whole bank, here are 100 coins (20 nickels + 30 quarters + 50 one-dollars), among which there are 50 one-dollar coins. So the probability to pick up a one-dollar coin is 50 out 100, so...

TP = 50/100 or 50%

Experimental probability:

For the experimental probability, we know Jonathan picked out 20 coins, out of which 12 were one-dollar coins, so the probability is 12 out of 20...

EP = 12 / 20 = 60%
