You need to use Pythagoras’ Theorem. 
A² + B² = c² and c is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

The height of the tower (5 feet) is A and the distance from the end of the cable and the base of the tower (12 feet) is B. The length of ONE cable is c. So:

A² + B² = c²
5² + 12² = c²
25 + 144 = c²
169 = c²
13 = c. This is the length of one cable.

3 x 13 = 39 therefore the total length of the cables is 39 feet.

Is -7 the solution to the equation w/7 +2=-1 explain how you know
erma4kov [3.2K]

w/7 + 2 = 1

<em><u>Subtract 2 from both sides.</u></em>

w/7 = -1

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 7.</u></em>

w = -7

The value of w is equal to -7

Find A cup(B cap C) . A = \{1, 4, 6, 7\}; B = \{3, 4, 5\}; C = \{2, 4, 8\}; \{1, 4, 6, 7\} 4 } \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}
Inessa05 [86]

The only common element between B and C is 4, so B ∩ C = {4}.

4 is also already contained in A, so B ∩ C is a subset of A, and thus

A U (B ∩ C) = A = {1, 4, 6, 7}

Drag each expression to the correct location in the equation. Not all expressions will be used.

The two rational expressions will be; (x + 2)/(x² - 36) and 1/(x² + 6x)

<h3>How to simplify Quadratic Expressions?</h3>

We want to determine the two rational expressions whose difference completes the equation.

The two rational expressions will be;

(x + 2)/(x² - 36) and 1/(x² + 6x)

Now, this can be proved as follows;

Step 2 [(x + 2)/(x² - 36)] - [1/(x² + 6)]

= [(x + 2)/(x + 6)(x - 6)] - [1/(x(x + 6)]

Step 3; By subtracting, we have;

[x(x + 2) - (x - 6)]/[x(x + 6)(x - 6)]

Step 4; By further simplification of step 3, we have;

[x² + x + 6]/[x(x-6)(x + 6)]
