Answer:

16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope given two points by using the following formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (0--16)/(3-12)

     = (0+16)/(3-12)

     =16/9

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone t
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is (h,k) = (3,4), and the equation of the circle is x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0 (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.

y - Dependent variable.

A, B, C - Circunference constants.

Given the number of variable, we need the location of three distinct points:

(x_{1},y_{1}) = (6,0)

36 +6\cdot A + C = 0

(x_{2},y_{2}) = (8,4)

80 + 8\cdot A + 4\cdot B + C = 0

(x_{3},y_{3}) = (3,9)

90 + 3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = 0

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

6\cdot A + C = -36 (2)

8\cdot A +4\cdot B + C = -80 (3)

3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = -90 (4)

The solution of this system is:

A = -6, B = -8, C = 0

By comparing the general form with the standard form of the equation of the circunference is:

A = -2\cdot h (5)

B = -2\cdot k (6)

C = h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2} (7)

Where:

h, k - Coordinates of the center of the circle.

r - Radius of the circle.

If we know that A = -6, B = -8 and C = 0, then coordinates of the center of the circle and its radius are, respectively:

h = -\frac{A}{2}

k = -\frac{B}{2}

r = \sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-C}

h = 3, k = 4, r = 5

The location of the new cell phone tower is (h,k) = (3,4), and the equation of the circle is x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0.

In order to use a ladder safely, the angle that the ladder forms with the ground should not exceed 70 degree. If you have a ladd
solong [7]

Answer:

Maximum safe height can be reached by ladder = 15.03. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Let's assume the maximum safe height of wall = h

angle formed between ladder and ground = 70°

length of ladder = 16 ft

From the given data, it can be seen that ladder will form a right angle triangle structure with the wall

So,from the concept of trigonometry,

Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{\textrm{maximum safe height of wall}}{\textrm{length of ladder}}

=>Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{h}{16\ ft}

=>\ h\ =\ 16\times Sin70^o

=> h = 16 x 0.9396

=> h = 15.03 ft

So, the maximum safe height that can be reached by the ladder will be 15.03 ft.

Where are the x-intercepts for f(x) = −4cos(x − pi over 2) from x = 0 to x = 2π?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Recall that to get the x-intercepts, we set the f(x) = y = 0, thus

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-4cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right)\implies 0=cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cos^{-1}(0)=cos^{-1}\left[ cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2}  \right) \right]\implies cos^{-1}(0)=x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\frac{\pi }{2}\\\\&#10;\frac{3\pi }{2}&#10;\end{cases}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\&#10;x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{\pi }{2}+\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{2\pi }{2}\implies \boxed{x=\pi }\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}=\cfrac{3\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{3\pi }{2}+\cfrac{\pi }{2}\implies x=\cfrac{4\pi }{2}\implies \boxed{x=2\pi }
