Answer:
4.11 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image that I am going to attach we can see the description of the statement in a graph, now, the right triangle is formed, and we can apply Pythagoras, and the hypotenuse would be equal to:
(5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2) ^ (1/2)
The speed is equal to:
V = d / t, therefore the time is t = d / V, the total time would then be:
total time = (5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2) ^ (1/2) / 3 + (7-x) / 6
we derive with respect to x, and we are left with:
dt / dx = x / (3 * (5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2) ^ (1/2)) - 1/6 = 0
x / (3 * (5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2) ^ (1/2)) = 1/6
6x / (3 = (5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2) ^ (1/2)
(2 * x) ^ 2 = (5 ^ 2 + x ^ 2)
4 * x ^ 2 = 25 + x ^ 2
3 * x ^ 2 = 25
x ^ 2 = 25/3
x = 2.88
now we replace
7 - x = 7 - 2.89 = 4.11
In other words, the answer is 4.11 miles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The ratio of sides in 30º-60º-90º triangle is:</u>
<u>If a is 5√3, the length of b is:</u>
- b = a√3 = 5√3 *√3 = 5*3 = 15
Answer:
The T-shirt lands in the bleachers at a height of 14 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The point where they meet is the solution of the simultaneous system of equations:
...........................................(1)
..............................................(2)
From (2),
.................................................(3)
Substituting (3) in (1),

Multiply through by 24 (the LCM of 3 and 8, the denominators of the fractions)




OR 
OR 
The value of <em>y</em> represents the height.
Substituting for <em>x</em> in (3)


We discard the negative answer.
Hence, the T-shirt lands in the bleachers at a height of 14 feet.
