Answer:

<em>The height of the candle after 23 hours is 20.4 centimeters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mathematical Modeling</u>

To model a real-life situation, a mathematical model can be built in such a way it accurately represents the variables measured in the system.

This problem requires to build a model for the height of a candle as a linear function of the time it has been burning. If the time is expressed in hours and the height is in centimeters, then the linear function can be written as:

H(t)=mt+b

Where m and b are constants we need to find. We are provided two points of reference: After 15 hours of burning, the candle has a height of 22 centimeters. This is the point (15,22).

We also know after 27 hours of burning, the height is 19.6 cm. This is the point (27,19.6). This data is enough to accurately define the function. Let's substitute the first point:

22=15m+b\qquad\qquad [1]

Substituting the second point:

19.6=27m+b\qquad\qquad [2]

Subtracting [1] - [2]:

22-19.6=15m-27m

\Rightarrow 12m=-2.4

Solving for m:

m=-2.4/12=-0.2

Using this value in [1]:

22=15(-0.2)+b

22=-3+b

Solving for b:

b=25

The function is now complete:

H(t)=-0.2t+25

Finally, substitute t=23:

H(23)=-0.2(23)+25=20.4

The height of the candle after 23 hours is 20.4 centimeters

12) A radio transmission tower is 170 feet tall. How long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 15 feet from the top and
ser-zykov [4K]

The length of guy wire needed to make an angle of 30° with the ground is 310 feet. The angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of the building is 23°

<h3>What is trigonometric ratio?</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

a) Let l represent the length of the guy wire.

sin(30) = (170 - 15) / l

l = 310 feet

b) Let Ф represent the angle, hence:

tanФ = 100/230

Ф = 23°

The length of guy wire needed to make an angle of 30° with the ground is 310 feet. The angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of the building is 23°

Claire is looking at the equation of a conic section where A=1, B=0, C=0. Which type of conic section is represented by the equa
Kitty [74]
The general equation of second degree is
                             Ax²+By²+Gx+Fy+C=0 ------1

Now the given conditions are 
A=1, B=0, C=0
Now,
putting in eq. 1
x²+Gx+Fy=0
x²+Gx= -Fy
For completing square, add both side (G/2)²
x²+Gx+(G/2)²=-Fy+(G/2)²
(x+G/2)²=-F(y-G²/4F)
Or
X²=-FY where X=x+G/2, Y=y-G²/4F
which is the standard eq. of parabola in XY-coordinate.
