It is 45 yd from the base of the pole.
The pieces of the right triangle we are given are one of the legs (the height of the pole, 60 yd) and the hypotenuse (the length of the cable, 75 yd). Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
60²+b²=75²
3600+b²=5625
Subtract 3600 from both sides:
3600+b²-3600=5625-3600
b²=2025
Take the square root of both sides:
√(b²) = √2025
b = 45
it is 4.7 because anything using 5 to round automatically bumps the number before up
Answer:
1) x ≤ 2 or x ≥ 5
2) -6 < x < 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We have x^2 - 7x + 10, so let's factor this as if this were a regular equation:
x^2 - 7x + 10 = (x - 2)(x - 5)
So, we now have (x - 2)(x - 5) ≥ 0
Let's imagine this as a graph (see attachment). Notice that the only place that is above the number line is considered greater than 0, and that's when x ≤ 2 or x ≥ 5 (the shaded region).
2) Again, we have x^2 + 4x - 12, so factor this as if this were a regular equation:
x^2 + 4x - 12 = (x + 6)(x - 2)
So now we have (x + 6)(x - 2) < 0
Now imagine this as a graph again (see second attachment). Notice that the only place that is below 0 (< 0) is when -6 < x < 2 (the shaded region).
Hope this helps!
