Natali5045456 [20]

Given :

A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. When the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope form the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.

To Find :

The height of the dock.

Solution :

This will make a right angle triangle as given in link below .

Now , applying Pythagoras theorem :

$(2h+3)^2=h^2+12^2\\\\4h^2+9h+9=h^2+144\\\\h^2+4h-45=0\\\\(h-5)(h+9)=0$

Now , h = 5 or h = -9 .

Now , height cannot be negative .

So , height of the dock is 5 ft .

Hence , this is the required solution .

All of the following expressions are equivalent except.___ 2+m m+2 m-(-2) -2-m

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{-2-m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + m

Rewrite with variable first.

m + 2

Can’t be simplified further.

m - (-2)

Distribute negative sign.

m + 2

-2-m

Rewrite with variable first.

-m - 2

The last expression is not equivalent to m+2.

49x2 - 81 is an example of the difference of two

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

(4x + 3)(4x - 3) represents the factorization of a polynomial that was the difference of two squares as it is written as product of sum and difference of two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas are used to factorize the polynomials.

In the given question, we can see a difference of squares

the difference of squares can be factorized using the formula

$a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)$

Here a^2 and b^2 are squares and factorized as sum and difference of numbers.

So in the given options,

(4x + 3)(4x - 3) represents the factorization of a polynomial that was the difference of two squares as it is written as product of sum and difference of two numbers.

The points L, M, N and O all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of LM : MN : NO is equal to 3 : 1

jasenka [17]

Answer:

NO = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pieces are in the ratio of 3:1:5 and the whole thing is 36, then set up an equation:

3x + 1x + 5x = 36

and solve, see image.

PLEASE HELP

irina [24]

Take the longer leg length as $x$

$(x-8)^2+x^2=(x+8)^2 \\ \\ x^2-16x+64+x^2=x^2+16x+64 \\ \\ x^2-32x=0$

Use the formular
$x={ \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^2-4ac}}{2a} } \\ \\ x={ \frac{32+32}{2} } \\ \\ x=32$

∴ shorter leg = 32 - 8 = 24ft
longer leg = 32ft
hypotenuse = 32 + 8 = 40ft
