On September 17, 2008, high tide in Portland was at midnight. The water level at high tide was 10.3 feet; later, at low tide, it

was 0.3 feet. Assuming the next high tide is exactly at 12 noon and that the height of the water is given by a sine or cosine curve, find a formula for the water level in Portland as a function of time, where y is the water level in feet, and t is the time measured in hours from midnight.

So the problem ask to calculate and formulate a function that could represent the water level in Portland if y is the water level and t is for time in hour so the possible answer would be that y=cosine(t)-0.3. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

Since it's a regular pentagon, all it's sides are equal so let's solve for x

$\hookrightarrow \: 3(x - 1) = 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3x - 3 = 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3x - 5x = - 6 + 3$

$\hookrightarrow \: - 2x = - 3$

$\hookrightarrow \: x = \dfrac{ - 3}{ - 2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{x = \dfrac{3}{2} }}$

now let's find the measure of each side, i.e

$\hookrightarrow \: 5x - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: (5 \times \dfrac{3}{2}) - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: \dfrac{15}{2} - 6$

$\hookrightarrow \: 7.5 - 6$

$\mathrm{\hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \: units}$

perimeter = 5 × side length ( for a regular pentagon )

$\hookrightarrow \: 1.5 \times 5$

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 7.5 \: \: units \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }}$

Select all pairs of numbers that have a least common multiple of 30.

ddd [48]

5 and 6 and 3 and 10, the pairs of numbers that have a least common multiple of 30.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Case 1: LCM (3, 6)

Prime factorization of 3: $1 \times 3$

Prime factorization of 6: $2 \times 3$

Using all prime numbers found as often as each occurs most often we take

$2 \times 3=6$

Therefore LCM (3, 6) = 6.

Case 2: LCM (5, 6)

Prime factorization of 5: $1 \times 5$

Prime factorization of 6: $2 \times 3$

Using all prime numbers found as often as each occurs most often we take

$5 \times 2 \times 3=30$

Therefore LCM (5, 6) = 30

Case 3: LCM (3, 10)

Prime factorization of 3: $1 \times 3$

Prime factorization of 10: $2 \times 5$

Using all prime numbers found as often as each occurs most often we take

$5 \times 2 \times 3=30$

Therefore LCM (3, 10) = 30

Case 4: LCM (5, 10)

Prime factorization of 5: $1 \times 5$

Prime factorization of 10: $2 \times 5$

Using all prime numbers found as often as each occurs most often we take

$5 \times 2=10$

Therefore LCM (5, 10) = 10

Answer the following equation: 1/2(x + 20) = 17/4x + 4 (6 - x)

zzz [600]

So use distributive property
which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
1/2(x+20)=1/2x+10

and the other
4(6-x)=24-4x

so now we have
1/2x+10=17/4x+24-4x
convert -4x to -16/4x and add to the 17/4x
1/2x+10=1/4x+24
subtract 24 from boths ides
1/2x-14=1/4x
multily both sides by 4
2x-56=x
subtract x from both sides
x-56=0
add 56 to both sides
x=56
