Flagpole to the ground using a piece of rope that is 10 feet long. He is going to tie the rope to the top of the flagpole and th

en secure the other end of the rope to the ground. The flagpole is 8 feet high. How far out on the ground does he need to secure the rope from the flagpole so that the rope is tight?

Answer:

<h3>6 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation

Using the pythagoras theorem;

Given

The length of the flag pole = 8 feet = opposite side

Length of the rope = 10 feet = hypotenuse

To determine how far out on the ground he need to secure the rope from the flagpole so that the rope is tight, we need to look for the adjacent. Using the equation

hyp² = opp² + adj²

10² = 8² + adj²

adj² = 100-64

adj² = 36

adj = √36

adj = 6feet

Hence the rope should be placed 6feet out of the ground

Find the equation of the normal to the curve y=x^2-2x^2-4x+1 at thepoint (-1,2)​
balandron [24]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the first exponent in the formula for the curve should be 3, not 2...

y=x^3-2x^2-4x+1

The derivative is

y'=3x^2-4x+4

The slope of the tangent line at the point (-1, 2) is the value of the derivative at x = -1.

y'|_{x=-1} = 3(-1)^2-4(-1)+4=3-4+4=3

The slope of the normal line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line.

m_{\text{normal} = -\frac{1}{3}

Using the Point-Slope form of a linear equation, the normal line is

y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-1))\\y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}+2\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}

Taletha is preparing for an exam in Algebra II. She knows she will be expected to determine if two functions are inverses of eac
seropon [69]

Answer:

f ○ g(x) = x and g ○ f(x) = x  is the correct composition

Step-by-step explanation:

INVERSE FUNCTIONS: Two functions are said to be inverse of each other if for every y = f(x), there exists a function g(x),

such that x = f^{-1} (y) =  g(y)

Now, here if we need to show tha two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions of each other , then show that for every x:

1. f  o g(x)   =   f(g(x))= x

2. g o f(x)  =  g(f(x))   = x

If any two functions satisfy these two conditions, then they are inverse of each other.

Claire buys a jacket that originally cost $76. The price is marked down 25% for a sale, and Claire has a coupon to further reduc
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$51.30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find 25% of the original price, then we deduct that from the original price. Then, we find 10% of the price and deduct that also.

The original price is $76.

25% of $76 is:

\frac{25}{100} * 76 = $19

We deduct $19 from $76:

76 - 19 = $57

We find 10% of $57:

\frac{10}{100} * 57 = $5.7

Deducting this:

57 - 5.7 = $51.30

She will pay $51.30 for the jacket.
