A youth group is setting up camp. Rain is predicted, so the campers decide to build a fly, or rain cover, over their tent. The f

ly will be 12 feet high and 16 feet wide. The scouts are building the frame for the fly with two poles slanted and joined together at the top of the tent.

The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation.  To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is: 
a^{2} + b^{2}  = c^{2}    8^{2} + 12^{2}  = c^{2}   c = 14.4

Help i dont understand how to complete this
Luda [366]

Answer: Josh = 19.8 hours, Danny = 10.8 hours

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Josh: \dfrac{1}{x+9}\\\\\\Danny: \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\\Together: \dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\\Josh\quad + \quad Danny\quad =\quad Together\\\dfrac{1}{x+9}\quad +\qquad \dfrac{1}{x}\qquad = \qquad \dfrac{1}{7}\\\\\\\underline{\text{Clear the denominator by multiplying by the LCM: (x+9)(x)(7)}}\\\\7(x) + 7(x+9)=x(x+9)\\7x + 7x + 63 = x^2+9x\\14x+63=x^2+9x\\0=x^2-5x-63\\\\\\\underline{\text{Use the quadratic formula to solve for x: }}x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(1)(-63)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{25+252}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{277}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{5\pm 16.6}{2}\\\\\\x =\dfrac{5+16.6}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{5-16.6}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{21.6}{2}\qquad \qquad x=\dfrac{-11.6}{2}\\\\\\x=10.8 \qquad \qquad x=-5.8

Since time cannot be negative, x=-5.8 is an extraneous solution (not valid) so x = 10.8

Josh: x + 9   -->   10.8 + 9   =   19.8

Danny: x     -->    10.8

****************************************************************************************

2a) k = 9.45 & 0.55

2b) x = 3/2

2c) x = 2/3     <em>(x = -1 is an extraneous solution so is not valid)</em>

2d) No Solution   <em>(x = 1 is an extraneous solution so is not valid)</em>

Here is the work for 2a.  Follow this format for b, c, & d

\dfrac{3}{k^2-8x+12}=\dfrac{k}{k-2}-\dfrac{4}{k-6}\\\\\text{Since the denominator cannot equal zero, then } k \neq2\ and\ k\neq6\\\text{If either of the solutions are 2 or 6, then that solution needs to be crossed out}\\\\\underline{\text{Clear the denominator by multiplying by the LCM: (k-2)(k-6)}}\\\\3 = k(k-6)-4(k-2)\\3=k^2-6k-4k+8\\0=k^2-10k+5\\\\\\\underline{\text{Use the quadratic formula to solve for k}}

x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(1)(5)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{100-20}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm\sqrt{80}}{2}\\\\\\.\quad =\dfrac{10\pm8.9}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{10+8.9}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{10-8.9}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{18.9}{2}\qquad x=\dfrac{1.1}{2}\\\\\\x=9.45\qquad x=0.55\\\\\\\text{Both answers are valid!}

Arun bought a pair of skates at the sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is 1600 find the marked price
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

1600 is 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price.

So it is 4/5 of the original price.

So, the marked price is 1600 * 5/4 = 2000
