Answer:

The angle of elevation of the ramp is 64.60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of the ramp, L = 35 ft

distance of the platform to the foot of the ramp, d = 15 ft

The length of the ramp forms the hypotenuse side of this right angled triangle;

The angle of elevation of the ramp is in angle between the hypotenuse and adjacent side of the triangle.

Cos x = adjacent / hypotenuse

Cos x = 15 / 35

Cos x = 0.4286

x = Cos⁻¹ (0.4286)

x = 64.62

x = 64.60°

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the ramp is 64.60°

Please help! Will give brainly, 50 points!! I'm stuck with this question and I don't get it!

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The answer is x^2 + 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You just combine like terms, the only ones that can combine is the 6x and -4x. You just subtract them to get the answer of x^2 + 4x - 3.

surface area (S) of a right rectangular solid is:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = a

H = 4

-----

formula becomes:

S = 2*7*a + 2*7*4 + 2*a*4

simplify:

S = 14*a + 56 + 8*a

combine like terms:

S = 22*a + 56

-----

answer is:

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

-----

to prove, substitute any value for a in equation 2:

let a = 15

S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)

S = 22*15 + 56

S = 330 + 56

S = 386

-----

since a = 15, then W = 15 because W = a

go back to equation 1 and substitute 15 for W:

S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)

where:

L = length

W = width

H = height

-----

you have:

L = 7

W = 15

H = 4

-----

equation 1 becomes:

S = 2*7*15 + 2*7*4 + 2*15*4

perform indicated operations:

S = 210 + 56 + 120

S = 386

-----

surface area is the same using both equations so:

equations are good.

formula for surface area of right rectangle in terms of a is:

S = 22*a + 56

The graph of which function has a minimum located at (4, –3)?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

None of the options is the answer to the question

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

case A) we have

$f(x)=x^{2}+4x-11$

In this case the x-coordinate of the vertex will be negative

therefore

case A is not the solution

case B) we have

$f(x)=-2x^{2}+16x-35$

This case is a vertical parabola open downward (the vertex is a maximum)

The vertex is the point $(4,-3)$ <u>but is not a minimum</u>

see the attached figure

therefore

case B is not the solution

case C) we have

$f(x)=x^{2}-4x+5$

Convert into vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)-5=x^{2}-4x$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)-5+4=(x^{2}-4x+4)$

$f(x)-1=(x^{2}-4x+4)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-1=(x-2)^{2}$

$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1$ --------> vertex form

The vertex is the point $(2,1)$

therefore

case C is not the solution

case D) we have

$f(x)=2x^{2}-16x+35$

Convert into vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)-35=2x^{2}-16x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)-35=2(x^{2}-8x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)-35+32=2(x^{2}-8x+16)$

$f(x)-3=2(x^{2}-8x+16)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-3=2(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=2(x-4)^{2}+3$ --------> vertex form

The vertex is the point $(4,3)$

therefore

case D is not the solution

The answer to the question will be the function

$f(x)=2x^{2}-16x+29$

the tennis team is having a bake sale. cookies sell for $1 each, and cupcakes are $3 each. If Connie spends $15 for 7 items, how

gogolik [260]

Connie bought 4 cupcakes

because four cupcakes is 12$ and she could not buy any more if she bought 7 items because if she got another cupcake it would only be 5 items so she bought 4 cupcakes and 3 cookies

hope this helped :)
