Answer:

33.7 degrees or 34 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 4-foot tall person standing with her back to the sun casts an 6-foot long shadow.

The person is standing vertically and the shadow is cast on the horizontal ground.  Hence the person, the ground and the line connecting Sun, person head and end of shadow forms a right triangle.

In the right triangle two legs are height and length of shadow

Hence equal to 4 and 6

Angle the sun makes with the ground will have

tan = 4/6

Hence angle = tan inverse of 4/6

Answer:  \alpha=34\°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.

2. Keeping the informationn given in the problem, you can calculate the angle that the sum makes with the ground (\alpha)as you can see below:

arctan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Where:

opposite=4\\adjacent=6

3. Then:

 arctan\alpha=\frac{4}{6}

\alpha=34\°

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

  D.  F(x) = 1/(x +5)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptote at x=-5 tells you that x=-5 will be a zero of the denominator. The only equation with a denominator factor of (x+5) is ...

  F(x) = 1/(x +5)²

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The fact that the value of F(x) does not change sign at the vertical asymptote tells you the denominator factor will be of even degree. That is taken for granted here, as all denominators are squares in the answer choices.

I need to increase my sales by 35% this month I’m currently at 45 sales how many sales do I need to meet my goal ?
telo118 [61]
Assume that 100% = 45 sales and 35% = X sales amount

You can create a ratio to help you solve for x

45 = 100%
x   =  35 %

Which is equal to this fraction:  (45/x) = (100/35)

Solving for X by cross multiplying and dividing by 100:
  [(45)(35)] / 100  =  X = 15.75 = 16 sales (rounded up)

You would need at least 16 sales to increase sales total by 35%

(25 points) Can someone please solve this I just need to see how its solved to understand

x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.

we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.

we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{one third of all students}}{\cfrac{1}{3}x}+\stackrel{\textit{coaches}}{5}=\stackrel{\textit{total}}{41}\implies \cfrac{x}{3}+5=41\implies \cfrac{x}{3}=41-5 \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{3}=36\implies x=3(36)\implies x=108

now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?

On the first day of spring, an entire field of flowering trees blossoms. The population of locusts consuming these flowers rapid
Elza [17]

Answer:

L(t)=7600e^{0.2273t}

Step-by-step explanation:

-The locust population grows by a factor and can therefore be modeled by an exponential function of the form:

P=P_oe^{rt}

Where:

  • P is the population after t days.
  • P_o is the initial population given as 7600
  • r is the rate of growth
  • t is time in days

-Given that the growth is by a factor of 5( equivalent to 500%), the r value will be 5

-The population increases by a factor of 5 every 22 days. therefore at any time instance, t will be divided by 22 to get the effective time for calculations.

Hence, the exponential growth function will be expressed as:

P=P_oe^{rt},\ \ \ P=L(t)\\\\\therefore L(t)=7600e^{5\frac{t}{22}}\\\\=7600e^{0.2273t}
