A 39-foot piece of string (hypotenuse) is stretched from the top of a 18-foot flagpole to the ground. How far is the base of the

flagpole from the end of the piece of string? Round your answer to the nearest tenth ( decimal places). (Hint: Draw a picture on your own paper to visualize the problem)

Answer:

  34.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Where a, b, c are the sides of a right triangle with c as the hypotenuse, it tells you ...

  a² + b² = c²

  a = √(c² -b²)

  base-to-string = √(39² -18²) = √1197 ≈ 34.598

The distance from the base of the pole to the end of the string is about 34.6 feet.

Which function represents exponential decay?f(x)=1/2(2)xf(x)=3/4(-1/5)xf(x)=(7/2)xf(x)=2(2/3)x
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The answer is (D) f(x)=2(\dfrac{2}{3})^x.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct function which represents exponential decay.

We know that an exponential decay is represented by the function with base less than 1.

For example, if we consider the following exponential function:

f(x)=b^x,

then f(x) will show exponential growth if b > 1 and exponential decay is b < 1.

Among the given functions, f(x)=2(\dfrac{2}{3})^x represents exponential decay, because the base is 0.66, which is less than 1.

Thus, (D)  f(x)=2(\dfrac{2}{3})^x. is the correct option.

The graph of this resultant function is attached, which clearly represents exponential decay.

PLS HELP ME ASAP ON COMPLETING THE COMBINATION CHART, OR ENOUGH TO ANSWER QUESTION “D”
Kitty [74]
In the table and chart, we have let x represent numbers of Rock CDs and y represent numbers of Rap CDs.

a) The purple dots represent feasible solutions. Their coordinates are listed in the table (for coordinates on the lines) and as a list of points (for points between the lines).

b) The feasible region for total time in hours is shaded blue.

c) The feasible regiion for total cost is shaded red.

d) The overlap of the two regions is shaded purple. The combinations that are feasible are purple dots in that region.

e) The equations used are listed at the left side of the chart. The equations are labeled by color. (≤112 is the cost equation; ≥75 is the hours equation)

ea) The area that is feasible with respect to both constraints is doubly-shaded.

eba) Too much money is spent to the right of the red line.
ebb) Too few hours are used to the left of the blue line.

f) The line for the desired profit is parallel to the "hours" line, but has x-intercept 10 and y-intercept 6. All the points shown except the two on the lower line will give the desired profit.

g) The higher profit line goes through the points (3, 7) and (8, 4). Those two combinations and the points on or near the upper line above y=4 will meet the higher profit requirement.

aev [14]

Answer:

a) We conclude that the menager use the hypergeometric distribution.

b) We conclude that the menager use the binomial distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know that in probability theory, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of k successes in n draws, without replacement.

We conclude that the menager use the hypergeometric distribution.

b) We know that the binomial distribution describes the probability of k successes in n draws with replacement.

We conclude that the menager use the binomial distribution.
