Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a segment parallel to a side of triangle that intersects two sides of the triangle, that segment divides the intersected sides into segments of proportional lengths.

9/72 = (3x - 20)/56

1/8 = (3x - 20)/56

3x - 20 = 1/8 * 56

3x - 20 = 7

3x = 27

x = 9

Answer: 9

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x-20)/9 = 56/72

72(3x-20) = 9(56)

216x-1440 = 504

add 1440 to each side

216x = 1944

divide both sides by 216

x = 9

A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 feet tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 5 ft/s alo
harina [27]

Answer:

25/3 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of pole , h=15 ft

Height of man, h'=6 ft

Let BD=x

BE=y

DE=BE-BD=y-x

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Therefore,

\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{BE}{DE}

\frac{15}{6}=\frac{y}{y-x}

\frac{5}{2}=\frac{y}{y-x}

5y-5x=2y

5y-2y=5x

3y=5x

y=\frac{5}{3}x

Differentiate w.r.t t

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}

We have dx/dt=5ft/s

Using the value

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}(5)=\frac{25}{3}ft/s

Hence, the tip of  his shadow moving  with a speed 25/3 ft/s when he is 45 feet from the pole.

f(x)=-4\sqrt{x}-1;\ x\geq0\\\\y=-4\sqrt{x}-1\\\\\text{solve for x}\\\\-4\sqrt{x}-1=y\ \ \ \ |+1\\\\-4\sqrt{x}=y+1\ \ \ \ |:(-4)}\\\\\sqrt{x}=-\dfrac{y+1}{4}\to y+1\leq0\to y\leq-1\\\\\text{square both sides}\\\\x=\dfrac{(y+1)^2}{4^2}\\\\x=\dfrac{(y+1)^2}{16}

f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{(x+1)^2}{16};\ x\leq-1
