Answer:

The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.

We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant

Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have

Height of fence = 5 ft.

Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ

This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base

Therefore, the length of the base is given as

Height × cos θ

= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft

The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.

Determine the number of real solutions for each of the given equations. Equation Number of Solutions y = -3x2 + x + 12 y = 2x2 -
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equations are

y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\

Let us understand the term Discriminant of a quadratic equation and its properties

Discriminant is denoted by  D and its formula is

D=b^2-4ac\\

Where

a= the coefficient of the x^{2}

b= the coefficient of x

c = constant term

Properties of D: If D

i) D=0 , One real root

ii) D>0 , Two real roots

iii) D<0 , no real root

Hence in the given quadratic equations , we will find the values of D Discriminant  and evaluate our answer accordingly .

Let us start with

y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\a=-3 , b =1 , c =12\\D=1^2-4*(-3)*(12)\\D=1+144\\D=145\\D>0 \\

Hence we have two real roots for this equation.

y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\

y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\a=2,b=-6,c=5\\D=(-6)^2-4*2*5\\D=36-40\\D=-4\\D

Hence we do not have any real root for this quadratic

y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\a=1,b=7,-11\\D=7^2-4*1*(-11)\\D=49+44\\D=93\\

Hence D>0 and thus we have two real roots for this equation.

y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\a=-1,b=-8,c=-16\\D=(-8)^2-4*(-1)*(-16)\\D=64-64\\D=0\\

Hence we have one real root to this quadratic equation.

The sum of the quotient of a number and and 3 and 8 is 16 what is the number
zhuklara [117]
After having done this on paper:

\frac{n}{3} + 8 = 16

We want to isolate the variable, and the first step is to subtract the 8.

\frac{n}{3} = 8

Since the <em>n</em> is being multiplied by 3, and that = 8, we can multiply both sides by 3.

<em>n</em> = 24

Let me know if this helped you understand better.

Also, you can check this by substituting in 24 for <em>n</em>.

Please help me!!!! Help me find the dimensions. :(
Gnom [1K]
The volume, surface area and the ratios of the SA to volume will be as follows:
Volume=πr²h
Area=2πr²+πdh
Ratio of SA to volume=Area/volume
π=3.14
Thus using the above formula:

1.
a]
Radius: 3 inches
Height: 2 inches
Volume=πr²h
volume=π×3²×2=56.52 in³

b]
Area=2πr²+πdh
2×π×3²+π×2×3×2
=56.55+37.68
=94.23 in²

c]
Ratio=area/volume
=94.23/56.52
=1.6672


1. 
Radius: 2 inches
Height: 9 inches

a]
V=πr²h
V=3.14*2^2*9
V=113.04 in³

b] 
Area=2πr²+πdh
=2*3.14*2^2+3.14*2*2*9
=25.12+113.04
=138.16 in²

c]
Ratio=area/volume
=138.16/113.04
=11/9

3.
Diameter=4 inches
Height= 9 inches

a]
V=πr²h
V=3.14×2²×9
V=113.04

b]
Area=2πr²+πdh
=2*3.14*2^2+3.14*4*9
=25.12+113.04
=138.16 in²

c]
Ratio=area/volume
=138.16/113.04
=11/9

4]
Diameter: 6 inches
Height: 4 inches

a]
Volume=πr²h
=3.14×3²×4
=113.04 in³

b]
Area=2πr²+πdh
=2×3.14×3²+3.14×6×4
=56.52+75.36
=131.88 in²

c] Ratio
131.88/113.04
=7/6

1. For the surface area to volume to be small it means that the area is smaller than the volume, for surface area to volume  be larger it means that the surface area is larger than the volume. It is more economical for the surface area to volume to be small because it will mean that small amount of materials make cans with large volume. This means cost of production is cheaper.

2. To evaluate this process let's use one of the dimensions:
Radius: 3 inches
Height: 2 inches:

i. add radius and height:
3+2=5 inches
ii. Multiply radius and height:
3×2=6
iii. Dividing the result from step 1 by the result in step 2:
5/6

iv. Multiply the result from step 3 by 2:
5/6×6
=5
This result does not seem to add up to the result in our earlier ratio. Thus we conclude that Khianna was wrong. This method can't work with 3-D figures.
