Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high. 

Calculations 

\frac{DEEP}{HIEGHT} 

Cross multiplication

\frac{3 DEEP}{5 HIEGHT} = \frac{x}{13} 

5x = 2 x 13 

Divide by 5 to isolate x

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{51}{5} 

x = 10.2 

Answer = 10.2

5/3=1.66666... so thats the ratio so 17/ 1.6666666... would equal 10.2 which is your answer.

What is the domain of the function y = RootIndex 3 StartRoot x minus 1 EndRoot?
finlep [7]

By definition of cubic roots and power properties, we conclude that the domain of the cubic root function is the set of all real numbers.

<h3>What is the domain of the function?</h3>

The domain of the function is the set of all values of x such that the function exists.

In this problem we find a cubic root function, whose domain comprise the set of all real numbers based on the properties of power with negative bases, which shows that a power up to an odd exponent always brings out a negative result.

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is poorly formatted. Correct form is shown below:

<em>¿What is the domain of the function </em>y = \sqrt[3]{x - 1}<em>?</em>

mina [271]

Answer:

Answer is D = 121.51

 

Use the Compound Interest Formula


A = P (1 + (R/12)/100)^(12*n)

 

Run 2 case

 

P = 1700

 

R = 18.7, R = 12.5

 

n = 1 (as the problem is asking over the course of a year)

 

Solve for A for both the R and subtract the two values of A to obtain ~121.51
