Answer:

16.6 feets .

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of wire = 30 feets

Distance between base of tree and ground = 25 feets

Height of tree, h

Using Pythagoras rule :

h² = 30² - 25²

h² = 900 - 625

h² = 275

h = sqrt(275)

h = 16.583

h = 16.6 feets

Height of tree is 16.6 feets

The graph of a quadratic function has a vertex located at (7,-3) and passes through points (5,5) and (9,5). Which equation best

Serga [27]

Answer:

B) $f(x)=2(x-7)^2-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the equation is given by $f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ .

We plug in the vertex to obtain:

$f(x)=a(x-7)^2-3$ .

Since the graph passes through (5,5) and (9,5), they must satisfy its equation.

$5=a(9-7)^2-3$ .

$5+3=4a$ .

$8=4a$

Divide both sides by 4.

$a=2$

Therefore the equation is:

$f(x)=2(x-7)^2-3$ .

Aubrey invested $61,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 1.9% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawa

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: 9.9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If interest is compounded continuously, then formula to compute final amount A = $Pe^{rt}$ , where P =initial amount, r= rate of interest , t=time.

Given: P= $61,000, r= 1.9% =0.019 , A = $ 73600

Substitute all values in formula

$73600=61000e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{73600}{61000}=e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.20655738=e^{0.019t}$

Taking natural log on both sides

$\ln (1.20655738)=0.019t\\\\\\ 0.18777116=0.019t\\\\\\ t=\dfrac{0.18777116}{0.019}\\\\\\ t=9.88269263\approx9.9\ \text{years}$

Hence, the required time = 9.9 years.

Discuss the validity of the following statement. If the statement is always true, explain why. If not, give a counterexample.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$P(E \cup F)=P(E)+P(F)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement

If $P(E)+P(F)=P(E \cup F)+P(E \cap F)$ , then E and F are mutually exclusive events.

If two events are mutually exclusive, they have no elements in common. Thus, P(E∩F)=0.

Therefore, the statement is always true as P(E∩F)=0

For mutually exclusive events:

$P(E \cup F)=P(E)+P(F)$ .
