Answer:

43.17 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the wall is y.

distance of wall from light is 20 feet.

tan\theta =\frac{y}{20}    

y = 20 tanθ    .... (1)

time period, T = 3 second

\frac{d\theta}{dt}=\frac{2\pi}{3}

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

\frac{dy}{dt}=20sec^{2}\theta\times \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt}=20sec^{2}10\times \frac{2\pi}{3}

dy/dt = 20 x 2.16

dy/dt = 43.17 ft/s

FinnZ [79.3K]
The magnitude of a vector is the length of the vector. It is also known as the modulus of the vector. For any vector of the form <a,b>, the length is equal to sqrt(a^2+b^2). Note how this follows from the pythagorean theorem.

Since your second pick is affected by your first pick & your third pick is affected by the first two, it is dependent. 

First pick: 18 marbles, 3 are red, so odds are 3/18 = 1/6 

Second pick: 17 marbles, 8 are blue, odds are 8/17 

Third pick: 16 marbles, 7 are black, odds are 7/16 

<span>1/6 * 8/17 * 7/16 = 56/1632 = 7/204 & as mentioned before it's dependent</span>

The difference of two numbers if four and their product is 60
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The two numbers are 10 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by calling these two numbers x and y, and setting up a system of equations.

x-y=4

x*y=60

Now, you can rearrange the first equation to find the value of x expressed through y.

x=y+4

Now, you can substitute this into the second equation.

(y+4)*y=60

y^2+4y=60

y^2+4y-60=0

(y-6)(y+10)=0

y=6

x=6+4=10

Hope this helps!
