Find all points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) All points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

or (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,0) be the point on x -axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) .

Then by distance formula , we have

$\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(0-(-7))^2}=14\ \ \ [\ \because distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]$

Taking square on both the sides , we get

$(x-6)^2+7^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+6^2-2(6)x+49=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+36-12x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x=111\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-111=0$

Using quadratic formula : $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-111)}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{144+444}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{588}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{2^2\times7^2\times3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm14\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6\pm7\sqrt{3}$

so, $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

since $\sqrt{3}=1.732$

so, $(6+7(1.732),0)\text{ and }(6-7(1.732),0)$ are the required points.

i.e. (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree. He walks

irina [24]

The height of tree is 8 feet

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, Micah places a mirror on the ground 24 feet from the base of a tree

At that point, Micah's eyes are 6 feet above the ground

And he is 9 feet from the image in the mirror.

To find : height of tree = ?

Let "n" be the height of tree

From the question, we can see there is a directly proportional relationship between heights and distances.

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.

$\frac{\text { height of micah eyes above ground }}{\text { distance of micah from mirror }}=\frac{\text { height of tree above the ground }}{\text { distance of tree from mirror }}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{6 \text { feet }}{9 \text { feet }}=\frac{n \text { feet }}{24 \text { feet }}} \\\\ {\frac{6}{9}=\frac{n}{24}} \\\\ {\text { n }=\frac{1}{3} \times 24} \\\\ {\text { n }=8}\end{array}$

Hence, the height of the tree is 8 feet

Alma and Crystal went out to et and spent $16. They wanted to tip the waitress 15%, what was the total cost of their meal includ

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

B: $18.40

Step-by-step explanation:

100% is equal to $16 so 5% would be 16/20 or $0.80 then to get 15% you would multiply $0.80 by 3 which is $2.40. This is the tip. Then do $16 + $2.40 and the total + tip is $18.40. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)
