Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve absolute value inequalities you must solve it for when the absolute value is positive and then when it is negative
example, |4| = 4 and -4
first solution will be when we're solving for the positive value:
+(-4x+7) ≥ 27
-4x + 7 ≥ 27
-4x ≥ 20
x ≤ -5 [reverse the symbol when mult or div by a negative]
-(-4x+7) ≥ 27
4x - 7 ≥ 27
4x ≥ 34
x ≥ 34/4 or x ≥ 8 1/2
solution: x ≤ -5 or x ≥ 8.5
Answer: - 42.95 feet
Explanation:
Let each ascent be x. Thus,
2 equal ascents = 2x
From the information given,
initial position = - 64.5 feet
Final position after 2 ascents = - 21.4 feet
This means that
- 64.5 + 2x = - 21.4
2x = - 21.4 + 64.5
2x = 43.1
x = 43.1/2
x = 21.55
Thus, Max's elevation after the first ascent is
- 64.5 + 21.55
= - 42.95 feet
Answer:
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the number of pounds of apples
(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes
we know that
Solve for x
so
therefore
The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5
Answer: approximately 49 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).
To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Tan # = opposite/ adjacent
Where # = 36 degrees
Opposite = x feets
Adjacent = 25 feets
Tan 36 = x/25
x = 25tan36
x = 25 × 0.7265
x = 18.1625
Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.
The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m
To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem
y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2
y^2 = 625 + 329.88
y^2 = 954.88
y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters
Height of the tree before falling was
18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625
The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets
