The base of a triangular sail is 16 m shorter than its height. The area is 96 m squared . Find the base and height of the sail.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by labeling the triangle. Lets say the height is x and the base is x-16.

Next, we know the area of the triangle is 96, so we should make an equation. The area (96) of a triangle is (b*h)/2. So lets substitute.

96=[(x-16)*x]/2

Now, we should simplify the equation. Let us start by moving the /2 to the other side and making it *2.

192=(x-16)*x

Open parenthesis and get

192=x^2-16x

simplify and get

x=24

x is the height so the base must be x-16.

base=8, height=24

Which of the following functions illustrates a change in amplitude?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a graph to have a change in amplitude, there must be a coefficient in front of the equation, or the 'a' value.

Recall that the transformation form of a trigonometric graph is:

y = ±a(cos(b(x-h))+k

Where 'a' is the amplitude

'b' changes the period

'h' is a horizontal shift

'k' is a vertical shift

We can look at each choice and eliminate:

A. There is only a coefficient of -1 in front of the equation, which simply results in a reflection over the x-axis. This is incorrect.

B. This equation contains a b value of 2. This changes the period of the graph, not the amplitude. This is incorrect.

C. This equation contains a coefficient, or 'a' value of -2. The amplitude is changed by a factor of 2. This is correct.

D. This graph only contains a vertical shift of 1 unit up. This is incorrect.

Therefore, C is the correct answer.

HELP FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br> What is the solution to the image?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with the function:  

Here, we have same base of logarithmic function on both sides of the equation.

So, we will equate the values on right hand side and left hand side of the equation we will get  

After simplification we will get  

After further simplification we will get  

Hence,  

Therefore the correct answer is 8.

How many injuries were severe and occurred on field turf? Write your answer as an integer.
siniylev [52]
Total injuries on Turf are 1050 and 4.26% of the total injuries were severe. So find what is the 4.26% of 1050.

4.26% of 1050

Here of means multiplication as usually seen in mathematics.

So we can write:

4.26/100 x 1050
0.0426 x 1050
44.73
Round off and you will find the answer:  45 injuries on Turf were severe out of total injuries 1050.
