Answer:
2x -y ≥ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The intercepts of the boundary line are given, so it is convenient to start with the equation of that line in intercept form:
... x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) = 1
... x/2 + y/(-4) = 1
Multiplying by 4 gives the equation of the line.
... 2x -y = 4
This line divides the plane into two half-planes. The half-plane that is shaded is the one for larger values of x and/or smaller values of y than the ones on the line. So, for some given y, if we increase x we will get a number from our equation above that is greater than 4. Hence, the inequality we want is ...
... 2x -y ≥ 4
We use the ≥ symbol because the line is solid, so part of the solution space.
Answer:
132 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Alejandro is standing at a distance of 140 feet from the base of the tree and his eyes are 6 feet above the ground.
Let AB is the height of the tree and point E is the location of his eyes which is 6 feet above from C on the ground as shown in the figure.
The distance between points A and C, AC=140 feet.
Drawing a horizontal line from point E which meets AB at point D as shown.
As ACED forms a rectangle, so
AC=DE=140 feet ...(i)
CE=AD= 6 feet ...(ii)
The height of the tree, AB=AD+DB
By using equation (ii), AB=6+DB ...(iii)
Now, given that the on watching the top of the tree, the reading on the clinometer is 42 degrees.
So,
In triangle DEB,
[from (i)]
feet
From equation (iii) the height of the tree is
AB=6+126=132 feet.
Hence, the height of the tree is 132 feet.
Hello! The subscription is a fixed price of 5.95 per month, and prints are $0.19 each. Let’s make an equation for this type of situation. 5.95 + 0.19x = 15.83. First off, let’s subtract 5.95 from both sides. When you do, you get 0.19x = 9.88. Now, divide each side by 0.19 to isolate the variable. 9.88/0.19 is 52. x = 52. There. Alazea purchased 52 prints in October.
