Answer:

6.32 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of ramp = 2 feets

Length of base = 6 feets

Length of ramp = l

Using Pythagoras rule :

Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite² + adjacent²)

Length of ramp = sqrt(height of ramp² + length of base²)

l = sqrt(2² + 6²)

l = sqrt(4 + 36)

l = sqrt(40)

l = 6.3245

Length of ramp = 6.32 feets

Answer:

After 2009 the quality of the forests in this country improving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(t) = \frac{1}{3}t^3-\frac{5}{2}t^2 + 80

f'(t) = t^2-5t

Substitute f'(t)=0.

t^2-5t=0

t(t-5)=0

t=0\ or\ t=5

It is given that  (0 ≤ t ≤ 10)

The test interval are (0,5) and (5,10)

For (0 < t < 5) the value of f'(t)

For (5 < t < 10) the value of f'(t) >0

Hence, the function is increasing from (5,10).

t = 0 corresponds to 2004.

Therefore, after 2009 the quality of the forests in this country improving.

Jerome bought 15 videos from a department store. Some videos were new releases, x, which cost $19, and some videos were classics
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The system of equations is

x+y=15

19x+8y=164

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of videos of new releases

y-----> the number of classics videos

we know that

x+y=15 ------> equation A

19x+8y=164 ------> equation B

Using a graphing tool

Solve the system of equations

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (4,11)

see the attached figure

therefore

the number of videos of new releases is 4

the number of classics videos is 11

Find the area of the triangle formed by the origin and the points of intersection of parabolas y=− 1/3 (x−1)^2+8 and y=x^2−2x−3.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The area of the triangle formed by origin, and the points (4,5) and (-2,5) will be 15 sq. units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two parabolas are y = - \frac{1}{3}(x - 1)^{2} + 8 and y = x² - 2x - 3.

Now, solving those two equations we will get the points of intersection.

So, - \frac{1}{3}(x - 1)^{2} + 8 = x^{2} - 2x - 3

⇒ - (x - 1)² + 24 = 3x² - 6x - 9

⇒ -x² + 2x - 1 + 24 = 3x² - 6x - 9

⇒ 4x² - 8x - 32 = 0

⇒ x² - 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ x² - 4x + 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0

So, x = 4 or - 2.

Now, for x = 4 , y = 4² - 2(4) - 3 = 5 and the point of intersection is (4,5).

Or, for x = - 2, y = (- 2)² - 2(- 2) - 3 = 5 and the point of intersection is (-2,5).

Now, points (4,5) and (-2,5) make a straight line parallel to the x-axis at a perpendicular distance of 5 units from origin and its length is (4 - (- 2)) = 6 units.

So, the area of the triangle formed by origin, and the points (4,5) and (-2,5) will be = 0.5 × 5 × 6 = 15 sq. units. (Answer)

-22 + (-16) I think the answer would be -38 but I might be wrong so don't quote me
makkiz [27]

Answer:

-38 (You Should be Correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

-22 + (-16) is the same thing as -22-16.

Subtract -16 from -22.

-22-16 = -38

We get -38.
