1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)

First, distribute 1.5 into x and 4, and 4.5 into x and -2, to get rid of the parentheses. Everything that we do to solve this equation is to isolate x to solve for its value.

1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

Combine like terms on both sides (6-3).

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

3=3x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

4=x

The answer is 4.

I hope this helps :)

A firework is launched at the rate of 10 feet per second from a point on the ground 50 feet from an observer. to 2 decimal place

Kazeer [188]

The rate of change of the angle of elevation when the firework is 40 feet above the ground is 0.12 radians/second.

First we will draw a right angle triangle ΔABC, where ∠B = 90°

Lets, assume the height(AB) = h and base(BC)= x

If the angle of elevation, ∠ACB = α, then

tan(α) = $\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{h}{x}$

Taking inverse trigonometric function, α = tan⁻¹ ( $\frac{h}{x}$ ) .............(1)

As we need to find the rate of change of the angle of elevation, so we will differentiate both sides of equation (1) with respect to time (t) :

$\frac{d\alpha}{dt}=[\frac{1}{1+ \frac{h^2}{x^2}}]*(\frac{1}{x})\frac{dh}{dt}$

Here, the firework is launched from point B at the rate of 10 feet/second and when it is 40 feet above the ground it reaches point A,

that means h = 40 feet and $\frac{dh}{dt}$ = 10 feet/second.

C is the observer's position which is 50 feet away from the point B, so x = 50 feet.

$\frac{d\alpha}{dt}= [\frac{1}{1+ \frac{40^2}{50^2}}] *\frac{1}{50} *10\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt} = [\frac{1}{1+\frac{16}{25}}] *\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt} = [\frac{25}{41}] *\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{d\alpha}{dt}= \frac{5}{41} =0.1219512$

= 0.12 (Rounding up to two decimal places)

So, the rate of change of the angle of elevation is 0.12 radians/second.

The graph shows how the length of a buildings shadow at a certain time of day is related to the height of the building.

Artyom0805 [142]

A. the graph represents a relation because it contains ordered pairs (x,y). It is also a function because there are no repeating x values.

B. (0,0) (8,6)
slope = (6 - 0 ) / (8 - 0) = 6/8 = 3/4
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x or f(x) = 3/4x <===

C. the variable x represents the height of the building and the variable y (or f(x)) represents the total length of the shadow
