To calculate this you can use the Pythagorean Theorem, so if one pole is the height, the distance from top of one to bottom of other is hypotenuse, you can solve for the base by taking the square root of (20^2 - 12^2) or 16 which is the answer.

Answer:

Rate of change  = 0.5

Initial value = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

(10 , 125)   ;   (30 , 135)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         = \frac{135-125}{30-10}\\\\= \frac{10}{20}\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\\= 0.5

Rate of change  = 0.5

Initial value = 120

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

Consider the polynomial equation x(x - 3)(x + 6) (x-7) -0. Which of the following are zoros of the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The zeros are : 0, 3, -6, 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a polynomial is the values at which the polynomial becomes zero. They are also called the roots of the polynomial.

When (x - a)(x - b) = 0, we can say that either (x - a) = 0 or (x - b) = 0. At least one zero renders the whole equation to be zero.

Now, we are given that: x. (x - 3). (x + 6). (x - 7) = 0

⇒ To make the equation zero, at least one of the following should be true:

x = 0

x - 3 = 0  ⇒ x = 3

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = -6

x - 7 = 0 ⇒  x = 7

Therefore, x can take any one of the above values and that would make the polynomial zero.

There were 450 people at a play. The admission price was $2 for adults and $1 for children. The admission receipts were $680. Ho
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Adults= 110

Children= 340

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let adults be x

and children be y

x+y= 450----------1

2x+y=680---------2

from 1

x= 450-y

put this in 2

2(450-y)=680

900-2y=680

900-680=2y

220=2y

y= 220/2

y= 110

x+110= 450

x= 450-110

x=340
