Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board, 12 feet, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The measure of the distance from the board to the wall will be the unknown leg.  This is adjacent to the 60° angle.  This gives us the ratio

adjacent/hypotenuse, which is the ratio for cosine.  This gives us the equation

cos 60 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12(cos 60) = (x/12)(12)

12(cos 60) = x

6 = x

The board is 6 feet from the wall.

Answer:

y= -4x^2 + 15x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is always in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

Substitute each point to produce different equations:

-14 = 0a + 0b + c = c

so c = -14

-3 = a1^2 + b1 + c = a + b - 14

so a + b = 11

0 = a2^2 + b2 + c = 4a + 2b -14 = 0

so 4a + 2b = 14

if we double a + b = 11 we get 2a + 2b = 22

Subtract this from 4a + 2b = 14 and we get 2a = -8 so a= -4 and b = 11 - a = 15

We don't need to use the (3,5) points as we have all the information we need.

How many meters did a fish swim in 8 minutes at a speed of s meters per minute?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Distance traveled by the fish = 8s meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of a fish to swim = s meter per minute And formula used for the speed, Speed = s = Distance = s × time We have to find the distance covered by the fish in 8 minutes (t = 8 minutes) Therefore, Distance traveled by the fish = 8s meters

consider the following equations: -x-y=1 y=x+3 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines representing the two
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

(-2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the following equations: -x-y=1 y=x+3

For the lines to intersect, the  values must be the same

-x-y=1

x + y = -1

y = -x - 1

Equating the y values

-x - 1 = x+ 3

-x-x = 3 + 1

-2x = 4

x = 4/-2

x = -2

Substitute x = -2 into y = x+3

y = -2 + 3

y = 1

Hence the required coordinate is (-2, 1)

PLEASE HELP!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
valina [46]

Answer:

31.9secs

6,183.3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that models the height expressed as;

h(t ) = -4.9t²+313t+269

At the the max g=height, the velocity is zero

dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9,8t+313

0 = -9.8t + 313

9.8t = 313

t = 313/9.8

t = 31.94secs

Hence it takes the rocket 31.9secs to reach the max height

Get the max height

Recall that h(t ) = -4.9t²+313t+269

h(31.9) = -4.9(31.9)²+313(31.9)+269

h(31.9) = -4,070.44+9,984.7+269

h(31.9) = 6,183.3m

Hence the maximum height reached is 6,183.3m
