(A) Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree<span>
Given that the distance of the ground is 9ft.
Length of the plank is 41 ft

In order to get the angle formed between the ground and the foot of the plank,

cos (theta) = ground / plank
cos (theta) = 9 / 41
</span><span>cos (theta) = 0.21951...
</span>theta = cos^-1(<span>0.21951...)
</span><span>theta = 77.3 degrees

</span><span>(b) Find the height above the ground where the plank touches the wall. Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
</span><span>
Height = square root (plank^2 - ground^2)
Height = square root (41^2 - 8^2)
</span><span>Height = square root (1600)
</span><span>Height = 40

(A) 77.1 Degrees
(B) 40 feet</span>

A rectangular box has the dimensions shown in the diagram. The volume of the box is given by the function V(x) = x3 – 4x, where
marta [7]

Answer:

Height =3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = x + 2

Width = x - 2

Height = x

Volume = 15

Required

Find the height

The volume is calculated as thus:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

This gives

15 = (x + 2) * (x - 2) * x

Apply difference of two squares

15 =(x^2 - 4 ) * x

15 = x^3 - 4x

Subtract 15 from both sides

x^3 - 4x - 15 = 0

Using a calculator to factorize, we have:

(x-3)(x^2+3x+5) = 0

Split

x - 3 = 0 or x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0

x = 3 or  x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0

x has complex roots for x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0

Hence:

x = 3

Recall that:

Height = x

Height =3
