To measure the distance across a pond, Sandy and Garrett mark a spot at on

Mathematics

DerKrebs [107]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

distance across the pond: 13 yd

distance walked by Garret: 12 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  • distance across the pond: x yd
  • distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
  • distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd

A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 5² + (x-1)²

x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1

0 = 26 - 2x

x = 13

A 32​-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first​ piece, and the third
Goshia [24]

Answer:

first piece = 1.88in

second piece= 3.76in

third piece = 26.32in

32 = f + s + t

1st piece = f

2nd piece = s

3rd piece = t

what we know:

s = 2f

t = 2(7f)

32 = f + 2f + 2(7f)

32 = 3f +14f

32 = 17f

f = 1.88

now sub in:

f = 1.88

s = 3.76

t = 26.32

when you add these together you get 31.96, when you round up you get 32 which is the original piece of steel.

Find the parabola with equation y = ax2 + bx whose tangent line at (3, 12) has equation y = 10x − 18. y = incorrect: your answer
pishuonlain [190]
For these questions to be true and the equation of the tangent to have an equal y to the equation of the parabola i guess there has to be a "c" and in that case integrate the equation of the tangent you will have a = 5 and b = -18 then you substitute in the equation of the parabola with the point you have you will find that "c" = 21 and so the equation of the parabola becomes y = 5x^2 - 18 x +21
