80% because 2 is 20% of 10.

80% my guy
10 would be 100% so 2 is 2/10 which is 20%
take 20% from 10 aka 100% = 80%

Two vertical poles of heights 60 ft and 80 ft stand on level ground, with their bases 100 ft apart. A cable that is stretched fr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

height of two Poles are 60 and 80 ft

Distance between them is 100 ft

Let x be the distance of Pole of ht 80 ft from Point of stretch

thus length of rope is given by

$L=L_1+L_2$

$L_1=\sqrt{80^2+x^2}$

$L_2=\sqrt{60^2+(100-x)^2}$

$L=\sqrt{80^2+x^2}+\sqrt{60^2+(100-x)^2}$

differentiate w.r.t x we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} L}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{80^2+x^2}}-\frac{2\left ( 100-x\right )}{\sqrt{60^2+\left ( 100-2x\right )^2}}$

Put $\frac{\mathrm{d} L}{\mathrm{d} x}=0$ to get minimum value

$\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{80^2+x^2}}=\frac{2\left ( 100-x\right )}{\sqrt{60^2+\left ( 100-2x\right )^2}}$

squaring

$x^2\left ( (100-x)^2+60^2\right )=(100-x)^2(80^2+x^2)$

Rearranging

$28x^2-1800x+640000=0$

$x=\frac{400}{7}$

thus $L_1=98.312 ft$

$L_2=73.73 ft$

$L=172.04 ft$

Productive use of machinery on a farm made it possible to decrease the number of tractors by 12. How many tractors does the farm

RideAnS [48]

The answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
