A country is shaped like a trapezoid. It's northern border is about 9.6 miles across,and the southern border is approximately 25

miles across. The distance from the southern border to the nourthern border is about 90 miles. What is th approximate area?

The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
                       A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
                       A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².

Find the real numbers x and y if -3+ix^2y and x^2+y+4i are conjugate of each other. Pls solve with the steps
Firdavs [7]
ANSWER
x = ±1 and y = -4.
Either x = +1 or x = -1 will work

EXPLANATION
If -3 + ix²y and x² + y + 4i are complex conjugates, then one of them can be written in the form a + bi and the other in the form a - bi. In other words, between conjugates, the imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign (b and -b). The real parts are the same

For -3 + ix²y
⇒ real part: -3
⇒ imaginary part: x²y

For x² + y + 4i
⇒ real part: x² + y (since x, y are real numbers)
⇒ imaginary part: 4

Therefore, for the two expressions to be conjugates, we must satisfy the two conditions. 

Condition 1: Imaginary parts are same in absolute value but different in sign. We can set the imaginary part of -3 + ix²y to be the negative imaginary part of x² + y + 4i so that the 

   x²y = -4 ... (I)

Condition 2: Real parts are the same

   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We have a system of equations since both conditions must be satisfied

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x² + y = -3 ... (II)

We can rearrange equation (II) so that we have

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)

Substituting into equation (I)

   x²y = -4 ... (I)
   x²(-3 - x²) = -4
   -3x² - x⁴ = -4
   x⁴ + 3x² - 4 = 0
   (x² + 4)(x² - 1) = 0
   (x² + 4)(x-1)(x+1) = 0

Therefore, x = ±1.
Leave alone (x² + 4) as it gives no real solutions.

Solve for y:

   y = -3 - x² ... (II)
   y = -3 - (±1)²
   y = -3 - 1
   y = -4

So x = ±1 and y = -4. We can confirm this results in conjugates by substituting into the expressions:

   -3 + ix²y 
   = -3 + i(±1)²(-4)
   = -3 - 4i

   x² + y + 4i
   = (±1)² - 4 + 4i
   = 1 - 4 + 4i
   = -3 + 4i

They result in conjugates

At the circus, a clown is shot from a cannon. This situation can be modeled by the function: h = – 16t2 + 45t + 15, where 'h' is
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The maximum height is 46.64 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the derivative of h whit respect to t and equal this to zero we would find the value of t which corresponds to the maximum h.

So, we have the function h(t):

h(t)=-16t^{2} + 45t + 15

Taking the derivative, we have:

\frac{dh(t)}{dt}=-32t + 45=0

Now, we solve it for t:

t=\frac{45}{32}=1.4\: s

Finally, we put this value of t into the original equation.

h(t)=-16(1.4)^{2} + 45(1.4) + 15

h_{max}=46.64\: ft      

Therefore, the maximum height is 46.64 feet. All the given options are wrong, the one that comes closest is option A.

I hope it helps you!
