Answer:

about 36.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the kite in feet. Then (x-22) is the horizontal distance to the kite. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the string length is related to these distances by ...

... 39² = x² + (x-22)²

... 2x² -44x -1037 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

Using the quadratic formula, the positive solution is ...

... x = (-b+√(b²-4ac))/(2a) . . . . for a=2, b=-44, c=-1037

... x = (44 + √((-44)² -4(2)(-1037)))/(2·2)

... x = 11 + √639.5 ≈ 36.288

The kite is about 36.3 feet above the ground.

What is the difference between (Picture 1) and (picture 2)? A. 0 B. 2 C. 5 D. 6
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The difference between the picture is 0  , option A .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two figures as :

In figure A

The expression is 1 + 3 n  , where n lies from 0 to 4

So , let f (n) = 1 + 3 n

Or,f ( n ) = 1 + 3 ×0 = 1 + 0 = 1

    f ( 1 ) = 1 + 3 ×1 = 1+ 3 = 4

   f ( 2 ) = 1 + 3 ×2 = 1+ 6 = 7

   f ( 3 ) = 1 + 3 ×3 = 1+ 9 = 10

   f ( 4 ) = 1 + 3 ×4 = 1+ 12 = 13

so, summation of ( 1 + 3 n ) from n = 0 to 4  = 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 = 35

In figure B

The expression is 3 i - 5  , where i lies from 2 to 6

So , let g (i) = 3 i - 5

Or,g ( 2 ) = 3 ×2 - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

    g ( 3 ) = 3 ×3 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4

   g ( 4 ) = 3 ×4 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7

   f ( 5 ) = 3 ×5 - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10

   f ( 6 ) = 3 ×6 - 5 = 18 - 5 = 13

so, summation of ( 3 i - 5 ) from i = 2 to 6  = 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 13 = 35

So, The difference between the summation of functions f(n) - g(i) is

f(n) - g(i) = 35 - 35

I.e  f(n) - g(i) = 0

Hence The difference between the picture is 0  , option A .  Answer
