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

Julio bought a total of 20 medium and large pumkins if he spent 53$ and bought 6 more large pumkins as medium pumkins how many l
aksik [14]
L = large pumpkin

m = medium pumpkin


Write a system of equations: 

1)   L + m = 20
2)   m = L - 6
3)   $3L + $2m = $53

Substitute L - 6 for m in equation 1:

L + (L - 6) = 20

Add 6 to both sides:

2L = 26
(L + L = 2L)

Divide two on both sides:

L = 13

Julie bought 13 large pumpkins.

Check (use equation 3):

$3(13) + $2(7) = 53
(m = 7 because 20 - 13 = 7)

Multiply:

$39 + $14 = $53       :)

What is the mean absolute deviation of this data set? 26, 31, 32, and 39
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

26, 31, 32, and 39

First we need to find the mean

(26+ 31+ 32+ 39) /4

128/4 = 32

The mean absolute deviation is sum of   the positive difference between the number and the mean  divided by the number of terms

((32-26)+ (32-31)+ (32-32)+ (39-32)) /4

14/4

3.5
