Answer:

  25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs 15 feet and 20 feet can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  h^2 = 20^2 +15^2

  h^2 = 400 +225 = 625

  h = √625 = 25

The distance from the shadow tip to the flag pole tip is 25 feet.

How do u find a association in a two way frequency table :) pls help I need the answer right now lol
Sedaia [141]
Sometimes the best way to tell whether two variables are associated is to ask yourself whether they are not associated. Think backward. In a two-way frequency table, if the relative frequencies for one variable are the same (or close) for all categories of another variable, there is no (or little) association.

Determine the value of base x if (211)x = (6A)16
igor_vitrenko [27]
211_x=2x^2+x+1
6A_{16}=106_{10}

\implies 2x^2+x+1=106\iff 2x^2+x-105=(x-7)(2x+15)=0

This has two solutions, x=7 and x=-\dfrac{15}2.

Give the point (or points) of intersection of x2 + y2 = 5 and y = 2/3x + 1 Round all decimal values to 2 places. Your answer mus
Dennis_Churaev [7]

x² + y² = 5

y = 2x/3 + 1

In a simple way to find the intersections you can just throw the y value in the other equation, so

x² + y² = 5

x² + (2x/3 + 1)² = 5

x² + (2x/3)² + 2.2x/3.1 + 1² = 5

x² + 4x²/9 + 4x/3 + 1 = 5

13x²/9 + 4x/3 + 1 - 5 = 0

13x²/9 + 4x/3 - 4 = 0

Multiply by 9

13x² + 12x - 36 = 0

Δ = b² - 4.a.c

Δ = 12² - 4 . 13 . -36

Δ = 144 - 4. 13 . -36

Δ = 2016

There are 2 real roots.

x = (-b +- √Δ)/2a

x' = (-12 + √2016)/2.13

x'' = (-12 - √2016)/2.13

x' = 32,8998886412873 / 26

x'' = -56,8998886412873 / 26

x' = 1,2653803323572037

x'' = -2,188457255434127

Rounding

x' = 1,27

x'' = -2,19

Now we need to put this value in the y equation to know the y coordinate.

y = 2x/3 + 1

y' = 2.1,27/3 + 1

y' = 2,54/3 + 1

y' = 1,8466666...

y' = 1,85

y = 2x/3 + 1

y'' = 2.(-2,19)/3 + 1

y'' = -4,38/3 + 1

y'' = -0,46

So the points are: (1,27;1,85) and (-2,19;-0,46)
