Answer:

Height of the pole = 9.17 chi.

Length of the rope = 12.17 chi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rope is hanging from the top of a pole having height x chi and the portion of the rope lying on the ground is 3 chi.

So, the length of the rope= x + 3 chi.

Let AB represents the pole in the figure, and one end of the rope is at point A.

When the rope is tightly stretched, let C be the other end of the rope as shown in the triangle.

The length of the rope = AC.

\Rightarrow AC=x+3 chi.

Distance from the bottom of the pole, point A, to the other end of the pole, point B, is 8 chi.

So, BC=8 chi.

As the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so by using Pythagoras theorem,

AC^2= AB^2+BC^2

\Rightarrow (x+3)^2=x^2+8^2

\Rightarrow x^2+6x+9=x^2+64

\Rightarrow 6x=64-9=55

\Rightarrow x=55/6=9.17 chi.

Hence, the height of the pole, AB=x=9.17 chi,

and the length of the rope, x+3=9.17+3=12.17 chi.

Answer:

  x = 5, x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.

  0 = (x -8)² -9

  9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9

  ±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root

  ±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8

That is, ...

  x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x

  x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x

How do you solve 2x^2+4x=3+3x^2?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

5x^2+4x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

You add the like terms: 3x^2 and 2x^2, you get 5x^2. You can't do anything else because there are no more terms that are alike.

So the answer would be 5x^+4x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, we have to focus on 4 steps, which are:

1: Change to improper fractions

2: Keep the same

3: Change the sign to multiplication

4: Flip the 2nd fraction in the equation

So, step one:

1/3 / 4/5

Step two:

1/3 / 4/5

Step three:

1/3 x 4/5

Step four:

1/3 x 4/5 = (4 / 15)

4/15 is in simplist for.

Therefore, your answer is 4/15.

Best of Luck to you!!

Find x (Geometry)<br> Full working out pls. Thank you
vichka [17]

in 1st figure

2:1=(x+2):2

2/1=(x+2)/2

4=x+2

x=2.

Similarly in the 2nd figure

8:5=(8+3):(5+x)

8/5 = 11/ (5+x)

8(5+x) =55

40+8x=55

8x=15

x=15/8

x=1.875
