Answer:
Equation 1
6*a = 360°
Equation 2
2*a + 2*b = 360°
a = 60°
b = 120°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first picture we can see that 6 angles a° made a complete circle, that is, 360°. So:
6*a = 360°
a = 360°/6 = 60°
From the second picture we can see that 2 angles a° and 2 angles b° made a complete circle, then:
2*a + 2*b = 360°
2*b = 360° - 2*60°
b = 240°/2 = 120°
Answer:
-0.69 feet per second
Step-by-step explanation:
We have dx/dt = 2 ft/sec, and we want to determine dy/dt.
x and y are related by the Pythagorean Theorem.
x²+y²=16²
Differentiate both sides of this equation with respect to t to get


Divide both sides by 2y

When x = 5 ft, we have
x²+y²=16²
5²+y²=256
y²=256-25=231
therefore
y= 

=-0.69
The top of the ladder is sliding down (because of the negative sign in the result) at a rate of -0.69 feet per second.
Use language that's easy-to-understand. If there's a piece of vocabulary that you feel needs clarifying, define it! 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
