the answer is 21ft because the total is 35feet so 35 - 14 = 21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The flag pole wire is 35foot

And the length of the foot from the tag flagpole is 14ft

So we want to know the height of the flagpole

So this will form a right angle triangle where the wire is the hypotenuse.

Then, using Pythagoras theorem

c² = a² + b²

35² = 14² + h²

35²-14² = h²

h² =1225-196

h² = 1029

h=√1029

h= 32.09ft

Then, the height of the flag pole is 32.08foot.

Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of lengths from the external common point to the two circle intersections of the secant.

  x^2 = (2)(70+2)

  x^2 = 144

  x = √144

  x = 12

The points plotted below are on the graph of a polynomial. In what range of x-values must the polynomial have a root?
joja [24]

Actually, I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?" Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?

Susan is writing a linear equation for the cost of her cell phone plan. In the first month, she talks for 52 minutes and is char
Alex787 [66]
Assuming that the cost per minute is the same for both months and the plan fee is the same, you can use y=mx+b for this

y is the cost of the phone plan, x is the cost per minute and b is the start cost.

so    19.41=25x+b for the first month
and  45.65=380x+b for the second month

solve both for b you get:
19.41-25x=b and 45.65-380x=b.  from this we get
19.41-25x=45.65-380x

solve for x

328x=26.24 and x=0.08

this means the cost per minute is 0.08c/min (answer A)

rewrite the equation to calculate b, and where this time, the x is the number of minutes talked.

y=0.08x+b and plug in one of the two months

45.65=0.08 * 380 + b

Solve for b and b is 15.25

so the final equation is

y=0.08x+15.25  (answer B)
