The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Diagonal of TV = 32 inch

Height of TV = 15.7 inch

The diagonal makes the TV into a right triangle,

Therefore,

Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 32 inch

Height = perpendicular = a = 15.7 inch

Width = base = b

Using pythagoras theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(15.7)^2+b^2=(32)^2\\246.49+b^2=1024\\b^2=1024-246.49\\b^2=777.51$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{777.51}\\b=27.88$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

b = 27.9 inches

The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

A soccer ball kicked from the ground with an initial velocity of 32 ft/s is given by the function

Greeley [361]

Answer:

In words the answer is between t=0 and t=2.

In interval notation the answer is (0,2)

In inequality notation the answer is 0<t<2

Big note: You should make sure the function I use what you meant.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope the function is h(t)=-16t^2+32t because that is how I'm going to interpret it.

So if we can find when the ball is on the ground or has hit the ground (this is when h=0) then we can find when it is in the air which is between those 2 numbers.

0=-16t^2+32t

0=-16t(t-2)

So at t=0 and t=2

So the ball is in the air between t=0 and t=2

Interval notation (0,2)

Inequality notation 0<t<2

Ms. Brown predicted that 25% of the days in January would have temperatures below 45°F. How many days does she predict will have

Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is 7.75. Since there can not be 7.75 days, you can round that to 8 and say that it's almost 8 days. Hope this helps!

Complete the square to factor X^2 +10X=-8

ella [17]

Answer: $x=\sqrt{17}-5$ and $x = -\sqrt{17}-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given equation is :

$x^{2} +10x = -8$

Adding 8 in both sides, it will become

$x^{2} +10x + 8 = -8 +8$

$x^{2} +10x + 8 = 0$

To make it perfect square, we need to add 25 and subtract 25

$x^{2} +10x + 8 +25-25= 0$

$x^2+10x+25+8-25=0$

$(x+5)^2+8-25=0$

$(x+5)^2-17=0$

Adding 17 in both sides

$(x+5)^2=17$

taking square root

$x+5=\sqrt{17}$

So,

$x=\sqrt{17}-5$ and $x = -\sqrt{17}-5$ .. Answer

Hope it will help :)
