Mathematics

Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2

AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509

AC = √509

AC = 22.56

The slope of the ladder is

(change in y)/(change in x)

Slope = 22/5 = 4.4

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers
romanna [79]

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get 2 points from the graph

(0,3)

(2,0)

from (0,3) we know that the b in the equation is 3

now to calculate m or slope we use \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}

\frac{0 - 3}{2-0} = -3/2

so we plug our m and b into y = mx + b and get

y = -3/2x + 3

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through the point (2,4) with vertex (-1,-1) in vertex form.
quester [9]
An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:

y-k = a(x-h)^2

Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Then,

4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9).  Therefore, a = 5/9, and the 
equation of the parabola is

y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)

A compressed air tank carried by scuba divers has a volume of 8.00 L and a pressure of 141 atm at 22.0°C. What is the volume (in
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tank volume = 8 Liter

Pressure = 141 atm

Temperature = 22°C = 273° + 20° = 295° K

Find:

Volume of air in the tank = ?

Computation:

\frac{Pressure\times Tank\ volume}{Tempreture} =\frac{Pressure\times Air\ volume}{Tempreture}\\\\\frac{141\times 8}{295} =\frac{1\times Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\\frac{1,128}{295} =\frac{Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\Air\ volume=1,044.45

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter
