Answer: The winning order is:

Spike

Boris

Percival.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the number of steps that each one did as linear relationships of the form:

y = a*x + b

where:

a represents the slope, in this case, is the velocity of each kid.

x represents the time

b represents the steep at which each one starts.

We know that the race is completed with 99 steps.

Now, we know that in one unit of time (we do not know how long this is, and this does not matter).

Boris can run 5 steps in one unit of time

Spike can run 4 steps in one unit of time

Percival can run 3 steps in one unit of time.

Now let's write the equations for each one.

B(x) will be Boris's equation, we know that he starts from the bottom, then his equation is:

B(x) = 5*x + 0

B(x) = 5*x

Now we can find the number x needed to reach the 99 step, this is:

B(x) = 99 = 5*x

99/5 = x = 19.8

Boris needs 19.8 units of time to finish the race.

S(x) will be the equation for Spike, we know that he starts 21 steps up, then his equation is:

S(x) = 4*x + 21

Let's find the value of x such that S(x) = 99

S(x) = 99 = 4*x + 21

99 - 21 = 4*x

78 = 4*x

78/4 = x = 19.5

So Spike needs 19.5 units of time to finish the race, so he needs less time than Boris, this means that he finishes before Boris.

P(x) is the equation for Percival, we know that he starts 38 steps up, then his equation is:

P(x) = 3*x + 38

Again, we want to find the value of x such that P(x) = 99

P(x) = 99 = 3*x + 39

99 - 38 = 3*x

61 = 3*x

61/3 = x = 20.33

So Percival needs 20.33 units of time to finish the race, he is the one that needs more time, so he will be the last one to finish.

The winning order is:

Spike

Boris

Percival.

What is the answer for this question
evablogger [386]

-3: y = -2 * (-3) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1

0: y = -2 * 0 - 7 = -7

3: y = -2 * 3 - 7 = -6 - 7 = -13

6: y = -2 * 6 - 7 = -12 - 7 = =-19

Need help doing this, please show steps. :)
Pavel [41]

Answer:

75.02 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the problem into 2 different part. The bottom part of the tree is 5 feet because that's where your eye levels are, so you just have to solve the top part of the tree.

The top part of the tree is solved by finding the height of the triangle. If you remember SohCahToa, the opposite side of the angle is solved using tangent.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(35) = x/100,   x is just the unknown height of the tree.

multiply 100 on both side to get x by itself.

x = 100tan(35)

x = 70.02

add that top height of the tree(70.02ft) with the bottom height of the tree(5ft).

70.02+5 = 75.02 ft
