Answer: the height of the pole is 16.1 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo.

x represents the height of the pole.

y represents the distance from the foot of one stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.

30 - y represents the distance from the foot of the other stabilizing wire to the foot of the pole.

In solving the triangles, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side.

Considering triangle ACD,

Tan 60 = x/y

x = ytan60 = y × 1.732

x = 1.732y- - - - - - - - -1

Considering triangle BCD,

Tan 38 = x/(30 - y)

x = (30 - y)tan38 = 0.781(30 - y)

x = 23.43 - 0.781y- - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

1.732y = 23.43 - 0.781y

1.732y + 0.781y = 23.43

2.513y = 23.43

y = 23.43/2.513

y = 9.3

x = 1.732y = 1.732 × 9.3

x = 16.1 m

If 843 units cost $16,421.40 to produce, how much does each unit cost to produce to the nearest cent?

Alex_Xolod [135]

It costs 19.48, because $16,421.40 / 843 comes out to 19.479, and 19.479 rounds to 19.48. So the answer is B $19.48

What is the largest possible integral value in the domain of the real-valued function

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Max Value: x = 400

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Domain is the set of x-values that can be inputted into function f(x)

Calculus

Antiderivatives
Integral Property: $\int {cf(x)} \, dx = c\int {f(x)} \, dx$
Integration Method: U-Substitution
[Integration] Reverse Power Rule: $\int {x^n} \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{800-2x} }$

Step 2: Identify Variables

Using U-Substitution, we set variables in order to integrate.

$u = 800-2x\\du = -2dx$

Step 3: Integrate

Define: $\int {f(x)} \, dx$
Substitute: $\int {\frac{1}{\sqrt{800-2x} } } \, dx$
[Integral] Int Property: $-\frac{1}{2} \int {\frac{-2}{\sqrt{800-2x} } } \, dx$
[Integral] U-Sub: $-\frac{1}{2} \int {\frac{1}{\sqrt{u} } } \, du$
[Integral] Rewrite: $-\frac{1}{2} \int {u^{-\frac{1}{2} }} \, du$
[Integral - Evaluate] Reverse Power Rule: $-\frac{1}{2}(2\sqrt{u}) + C$
Simplify: $-\sqrt{u} + C$
Back-Substitute: $-\sqrt{800-2x} + C$
Factor: $-\sqrt{-2(x - 400)} + C$

Step 4: Identify Domain

We know from a real number line that we cannot have imaginary numbers. Therefore, we cannot have any negatives under the square root.

Our domain for our integrated function would then have to be (-∞, 400]. Anything past 400 would give us an imaginary number.
