Answer:

238

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with Raven's ants since hers is the one that everyone else's is based off of.  

Raven = 208

Haley has half of that plus 76, so

Haley = (208/2) + 76

Haley = 180

If Haley's farm doubles in population, she would have 360 ants.  That number is equal to Nate's number + 122.  We have an equation of sorts there to solve for Nate's ants:

180(2) = N + 122 so

360 = N + 122 and

N = 238

Nate has 238 ants in his farm.

A rocket lifted off from a launch pad and traveled vertically 30 km, then traveled 40 km at 30 degrees from the vertical, and th
nika2105 [10]
Well, we are told that in the beginning, it has traveled 30km vertically, so do not forget to add that on at the end.

Next it says that it traveled 40km 30 degrees from vertical, so we set up a sin equation to solve for the missing side, n:

sin(angle)= opposite/hypotenuse:

sin(30) = n/40

40sin30=n

n=20km

Then it says at an angle of 45 degrees, it goes 100km. This means that we are given the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and we need to find the side that goes up and down. We shall call this length x.

We know that the angle opposite x is 45 degrees.

So, we will use sin to solve for x:

sin(angle)= opposite/hypotenuse

sin45= x/100

100sin45=x

x=70.711km

But remember, I said not to forget about that 30km from the very beginning? So we add up all of our vertical heights:

30km + 20km+ 70.711km = 120.711km

Mr Thompson please help with my new HW
sesenic [268]

Answers:

  1. C) x = plus/minus 11
  2. B) No real solutions
  3. C) Two solutions
  4. A) One solution
  5. The value <u>  18  </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u>  17  </u> goes in the second blank.

========================================================

Explanations:

  1. Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
  2. There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
  3. The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
  4. We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
  5. Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

40x + 30y ≤ 6,550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each apple bushels = $40

Cost of each corn bushels = $30

Total budget = $6,550

Find:

Inequality

Computation:

Assume;

Total number of apple bushels = x

Total number of corn bushels = y

So,

40x + 30y ≤ 6,550

Answer:

The angle of elevation is 36.87 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC of the figure

cos(\theta)=\frac{AC}{BC} ----> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

cos(\theta)=\frac{12}{15}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{12}{15})=36.87^o

skelet666 [1.2K]
We can find the length of the sides now by dividing 56 by 4, which gives us 19.  Subtracting 5 from 19 gives us our answer of 14 feet.
