Answer:

The correct answer is k=1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression " r varies directly as p", we need to find an equation that describes the relationship between both variables. First, we have that r varies as p varies, so r is the dependent variable and p is the independent variable. So

r = k x p ⇒ replacing with the given values (r =3 when p =15)

3 = k x 15 ⇒ 3/15 = k ⇒ 1/5 = k.

Then the constant of proportionality is k = 1/5.

Anna and Veronica are on the opposite sides of a tower of 160 meters height. They measure the angle of elevation of the top of t

MAXImum [283]

Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.

The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:

Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.

Tan(40°) = X/160m

Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m

Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°

So we have:

Tan(55°) = X/160m

Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m

And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:

Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m

Y=-x^2-10x+24 What is the y value of the vertex?

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Get the equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

2.) Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

3.) To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y. This is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

1.) y = -x^2 - 10x + 24

2.) -(-10) / 2(-1) = -5

3.) y = -(-5)^2 - 10(-5) + 24

y = -25 + 50 + 24

y = 49
