Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Find the coordinates of a point on a circle with radius 18 corresponding to an angle of 190°
devlian [24]

The coordinates of a point on a circle with radius 18 corresponding to an angle of 190° are (-17.73, -3.13).

What is transforming coordinates?

Polar coordinates (r,θ) are transformed into Cartesian coordinates (x, y) using the formulas x = r cos(θ), and y = r sin(θ).

This problem is under the concept of transforming polar coordinates (r,θ) to cartesian coordinates  (x, y).

For this problem the polar coordinates  are r = 18 and θ = 190°.

Convert these polar coordinates into a cartesian coordinates as,

x = r cos(θ) = 18 cos(190°) = -17.73

y = r sin(θ) = 18 sin(190°) = -3.13

The coordinates of a point on a circle with radius 18 corresponding to an angle of 190° are (-17.73, -3.13).

An auto mechanic charges (C) an initial fee of $50 and then $40 per hour. The graph of this model would be:
victus00 [196]

The graph of this model would be a straight line that increases only option third is correct.

<h3>What is a line graph?</h3>

A line graph is a graph made up of segments of straight lines that connect the depicted data points.

We have:

An auto mechanic charges (C) an initial fee of $50 and then $40 per hour.

Let T be the total fee and h is the number of hours

T = 50 + 40h

The above equation represents a graph of a straight line as the slope of the line is positive.

m = 50

Thus, the graph of this model would be a straight line that increases only option third is correct.

12 workers build a wall in 10hours. How long do 5 workers build a wall​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 workers take 10 hours to build a wall, assuming they build at the same rate, it would take one worker 120 hours to build a wall.

By this logic, it would take 120/5 or 24 hours for 5 workers to build a wall
