Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.
With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle
To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the
Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Sin 57 = 145/h
h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387
h = 172.89
62 / 15.5 = 92 / x
to find x cross multiply:-
62x = 15.5 * 92
x = (15.5*92) / 62
= 23
Notice that x+4 is one of the denominators, and that x(x+4) is the LCD.
x
Thus, mult. ------- by x(x+4), obtaining x^2.
x+4
Next, mult. [ 1/x + 1/(x+4) by x(x+4), obtaining x+4 + x = 2x+4 or 2(x+4)
x^2
Then the simplified fraction becomes ----------
2(x+4)
Generally Brainly allows you to post only 1 or 2 questions at a time. I will do #15 as a courtesy to you, but want you to try #16 yourself (or to post it separately).
-4, 2, 8, 14, ... is an arithm. seq. Every new term is equal to the previous term, plus 6: -4+6 = 2; 2+6=8, and so on. Thus: first term is a = -4; common difference is d = 6
a(50) = a(1) + (50-1)(6), or a(50) = -4 + (49)(6) = 290 (answer)
The profits at x = $185 is 0 and the graph is attached below:
<h3>What is graph?</h3>
Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points.
Function is to model the profits of a new pet-monitoring system, so, if the profits are y and x then y = f(x)
The curve shows that y is negative at values of x< $95, then the profits increase when x varies between $95 and $140.
The profits reach a maximum at $140 and then the profits start to reduce as x increases again.
So, the profits at x = $185 is 0.
