Answer: x ≈ 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use our trig knowledge to solve this.

The man is standing 10 ft away, but we also need to add the 5 ft shadow as well as that is a point on our triangle.

We can set up a simple trig equation of: tan(50) = x/15

x being the height of the lamppost.

Now we solve.

tan(50) = 1.1918

1.1918 *15 = x

x = 17.876

Now round to the nearest foot.

x ≈ 18 ft

This is a trick question. First just understand that any number over itself is 1 so \frac{2 \sqrt{x} }{\sqrt{x}} is just 2 *  \frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x}} = 2 so it is just 2

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

m= (y-y1)/(x-x1)

Points are  (-10, -20) and (1, -9)

m= (-20+9)/(-10-1)= (-11)/(-11)= 1

m=1 to replace ? mark

5 5/8 - 5 1/8 simplify .
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: 5 : 3 1/8 = 8 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

Convert 3 1/8

3 1/8 = 25/8

We now have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5 : 25/8

Convert the whole number 5 to a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

We then have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 5/1 : 25/8

Convert fractions to integers by eliminating the denominators.

Our two fractions have unlike denominators so we find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite our fractions as necessary with the common denominator

LCD(5/1, 25/8) = 8

We now have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 40/8 : 25/8

Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 8 to eliminate the denominators.

We then have:

5 : 3 1/8 = 40 : 25

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 40 and 25 is 5

Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:

40 ÷ 5 = 8

25 ÷ 5 = 5

The ratio 40 : 25 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :

40 : 25 = 8 : 5

torisob [31]

Answer:

A. between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is that if a function is continuous and you have points on opposite sides of the x-axis, then there must be a zero-crossing between those points. As the table and graph show, ...

... (3.0, 4.0) and (3.5, -0.2)

are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero crossing between x=3.0 and x=3.5.

Likewise, ...

... (4.0, -0.8) and (4.5, 0.1)

are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero-crossing between x=4.0 and x=4.5

The appropriate answer choice lists both of these possible zero crossings.
