Answer:

45.40

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the shape of rope is not a parabola but a catenary, and all catenaries are similar, defined by:

y=acoshxa

You just have to figure out where the origin is (see picture). The hight of the lowest point on the rope is 20 and the pole is 50 meters high. So the end point must be a+(50−20) above the x-axis. In other words (d/2,a+30) must be a point on the catenary:

a+30=acoshd2a(1)

The lenght of the catenary is given by the following formula (which can be proved easily):

s=asinhx2a−asinhx1a

where x1,x2 are x-cooridanates of ending points. In our case:

80=2asinhd2a

40=asinhd2a(2)

You have to solve the system of two equations, (1) and (2), with two unknowns (a,d). It's fairly straightforward.

Square (1) and (2) and subtract. You will get:

(a+30)2−402=a2

Calculate a from this equation, replace that value into (1) or (2) to evaluate d.

My calculation:

a=353≈11.67

d=703arccosh257≈45.40

Given that sin A = 1/3 and angle A is in the first quadrant, find cos A
scoundrel [369]
Sin A = opposite / hypotenuse 

If angle A is in the first quadrant, that means both x and y coordinate are positive.

Now you can draw triangle. Since sinA = 1/3, opposite side may be 1, so then hypotenuse side must be 3.

Now you can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of adjacent side:

a² + b² = c²
1 + b² = 9
b² = 8
b = 2√2

So adjacent side is 2√2.

So now we can solve for cosA:

cosA = adjacent / hypotenuse = 2√2 / 3

Final answer: 2√2 / 3

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The quantities used by Manuela were correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Did Manuela use the right quantities?

Let

x -----> the parts of oil

y ----> the parts of vinegar

we know that

The ratio of the parts of oil by the parts of vinegar of recipe is

Determine the relation used by Manuela

Compare with the recipe

Is true, the quantities are proportional

therefore

The quantities used by Manuela were correct

Why is it helpful to write numbers in different ways
Goshia [24]
You should write numbers in as many ways as you possibly can to make new connections in your brain. Knowing how to write numbers in many different ways can help you solve complex problems more easily. Doing this can also reinforce the mathematical principles and logic you have memorised.

Writing one in many different ways:

1=1/1=2/2=3/3=4/4=(-1)/(-1)=(-2)/(-2)

=1.0=1.00=1.000=(1/2)+(1/2)=(1/3)+(1/3)+(1/3)

=(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)

Writing a half in many different ways:

1/2=(1/4)+(1/4)=(1/6)+(1/6)+(1/6)

=(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)=4*(1/8)

=2/4=3/6=4/8=5/10=0.5=0.50

etc...etc...
