Complete Question:

Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.

Write an equation using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.

How far are Ava's feet from the balloon?

Answer:

Ava's feet is 17ft away from the balloon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$height = 8ft$

$distance = 15ft$

The attached image represents the scenario

Using Pythagoras theorem (from the attachment), we have:

$x^2 = 8^2 + 15^2$

$x^2 = 64 + 225$

$x^2 =289$

Take square roots of both sides

$x = \sqrt{289$

$x = 17$

What's the present value of $11,000 discounted back 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 4.5%, compounded semiannually?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P[1 + (r/n)]^(nt)

Look the formula up online to find out what each variable represents if needed.

We are solving for P, which is the principal amount 5 years back.

Substitute 11,000 for A (total amount), 4.5% for r(rate), 2 for n(number of times -- in this case, semiannually), and 5 for t(time -- 5 years).

11000 = P[1+(0.045/2)]^(2x5)

11000 = P (1.0225)^10

11000 = P (1.2492) approx.

Divide both sides by 1.2492 to find P.

P = $8805.64 (approx)

I know that the answer I got is not an option listed. However, I feel that my workings may help other people to answer this question or give them inspiration to answer similar questions. Therefore, I will leave this answer up.

Thanks, and sorry I couldn't do much.

Find the value of x. Write your answer in simplest radical form.

Georgia [21]

25 because
${15}^{2} + {20}^{2} = 625 \\ \sqrt{625} = 25$

Help anyone?? Not that hardd<br> no links ! :(

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you cancel out $\frac{6}{20}$ to become $\frac{3}{10}$

Then that becomes $-\frac{3}{10}+1.5$

Now, you convert the element to a decimal form to be $-0.3+1.5$

Finally, you subtract them (because a negative plus a positive is subtraction) to get the final answer of 1.2

Hope this helps!

Solve the differential equation.<br><br> (y^2 + xy^2)y' = 1

stira [4]

$(y^2 + xy^2)y' = 1 \ \Rightarrow\ (y^2 + xy^2)\frac{dy}{dx}= 1 \ \Rightarrow\\ \\
y^2(1 + x) \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 \ \Rightarrow\ y^2 dx = \frac{dx}{1 + x}\ \Rightarrow \\ \\
\int y^2 dx =\int \frac{dx}{1 + x} \ \Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{3}y^3 = \ln|1+x| + C\ \Rightarrow \\ \\
y^3 = 3 \ln|1 + x| + 3C\ \Rightarrow\ y = \sqrt[3]{3\ln|1+x| + K},\ \text{where $K = 3C$}
