Juliet and Mercutio are moving at constant speeds in the xy-plane. They start moving at the same time. Juliet starts at the poin

t (0, −6) and heads in a straight line toward the point (10, 5), reaching it in 10 seconds. Mercutio starts at (7, −16) and moves in a straight line. Mercutio passes through the same point on the x-axis as Juliet, but 2 seconds after she does.How long does it take Mercutio to reach the y-axis?

Answer:

  574/17 ≈ 33.765 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem begs to be solved using parametric equations for the lines of travel. Such an equation for position (P) can be written in terms of a starting point (A) and direction of travel (V) as ...

  P = A + tV

Here, the direction of travel between points A and B is V = B-A, and the time value (t) is scaled by the amount of time it takes to get there.

__

The position of Juliet as a function of time from point A to point B in 10 seconds can be written as ...

  J = A + (t/10)(B-A) = (0, -6) + (t/10)(10-0, 5-(-6))

  J = (t, 1.1t -6)

Juliet will reach the x-axis when her y-position is zero:

  1.1t -6 = 0

  t = 6/1.1 = 60/11

Her position at that point is J = (60/11, 0).

__

Mercutio's position can be described similarly. Starting at point C(7, -16), he reaches D(60/11, 0) after 60/11+2 = 82/11 seconds.

  M = C +(11t/82)(D -C) = (7, -16) +(11t/82)(60/11 -7, 0 -(-16))

  M = (7 -17/82t, 88/41t -16)

Mercutio will reach the y-axis when his x-position is zero:

  7 -17/82t = 0

  7 = 17/82t

  82/17×7 = t = 574/17 ≈ 33.765 . . . . seconds

It takes Mercutio about 33.765 seconds to reach the y-axis.

A ladder is placed against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 12 feet above the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 f
Colt1911 [192]
This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft

Solve this problem, and identify the percent, amount, and base.<br> What percent of 60 is 15?
ValentinkaMS [17]
First, you must understand the question. what % of 60 is 15, so I would write an equation to express this.

15 = 60x

From there, solve for x, so Divide by 60 on each side. The answer is 1/4, or 25%

Type the correct answer in each box. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Tom [10]

Given:

The values are a=0.\overline{6},b=0.75.

To find:

The values of ab and \dfrac{a}{b}.

Solution:

We have,

a=0.\overline{6}

a=0.666...                     ...(i)

Multiply both sides by 10.

10a=6.666...                 ...(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

10a-a=6.666...-0.666...

9a=6

a=\dfrac{6}{9}

a=\dfrac{2}{3}

And,

b=0.75

b=\dfrac{75}{100}

b=\dfrac{3}{4}

Now, the product of a and b is:

ab=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{3}{4}

ab=\dfrac{1}{2}

The quotient of a and b is:

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{4}{3}

\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{8}{9}

Therefore, the required values are ab=\dfrac{1}{2} and \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{8}{9}.
