Answer:the height of the flagpole is 27.12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The wire makes an angle with the ground and forms a right angle triangle with the flag pole. The length of the wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the flag pole and the ground distance from the wire represents the adjacent and opposite sides respectively.

To determine the height of the flagpole, x we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

31² = x² + 15²

x² = 961 - 225 = 736

x = √736. = 27.12 ft

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y=−2 that passes through the point (4, −2).
lawyer [7]

x = 4

because it is perpendicular, the new equation has to be a vertical since the original was horizontal. We know that it passes through (4,-2) so it has to be x=4

AveGali [126]

Answer:

    The career planning process is ongoing and sequential. Since it is fluid rather than chronological, you move to the next step only when you are ready to do so, and you may move back and forth between steps at any given time. The career planning process is also cyclic. When career change is desired anytime during your work life, you may repeat the process once again. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the majority of members of the labor force will make three to four major changes in their career during their 35 to 45 years of working. Because human beings are complex, each of us has unique aspirations, goals, potential for development, and limitations. Although we can follow the same process, career planning outcomes must be individualized.

Write the equation of the circle in standard form: Center (7,0) R=1
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

(x-7)^2+y^2=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Equation of a circle: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where the circle is centered at (h,k) and the radius is r

<u>1) Plug in the given center (7,0)</u>

(x-7)^2+(y-0)^2=r^2\\(x-7)^2+y^2=r^2

<u>2) Plug in the radius (1)</u>

(x-7)^2+y^2=1^2\\(x-7)^2+y^2=1

I hope this helps!

Problem number 26 of the Rhind Papyrus says: Find a quantity such that when it is added to StartFraction 1 Over 4 EndFraction of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given situation , a quantity x is added to \frac{1}{4} x gives 15.

We can set up equation as

x+\frac{1}{4}x=15

Multiply each term by 4 on both sides to get rid the denominator.

It gives,

4 x+x=60

Now, combine like terms

5 x=60

Divide both sides by 5

x=12.

The square root of a negative number, such as StartRoot negative 144 EndRoot, is undefined. Explain why the square root of –x, S
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=\sqrt{-x}

we know that

The radicand of the function cannot be a negative number

so

-x\geq 0

Solve for x

Multiply by -1 both sides

x\leq 0

The domain of the function f(x) is the interval -----> (-∞, 0]

The domain is all real numbers less than or equal to zero

The range of the function f(x) is the interval ----> [0,∞)

The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

<em>Example</em>

For x=144

144\leq 0 ----> is not true

This value of x not satisfy the domain

substitute

f(x)=\sqrt{-144} ----> this value is undefined

For x=-144

-144\leq 0 ----> is true

This value of x satisfy the domain

substitute

f(x)=\sqrt{-(-144)}

f(x)=\sqrt{144}----> this value is defined

therefore

The function will be undefined for all those values of x that do not belong to the interval of the domain of the function
