Answer:

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this question.

We have that:

The shadow of 50 feet is one side of the right triangle, while the height h is other side.

The hypotenuse is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the building, which is 250 feet.

So

50^2 + h^2 = 250^2

h^2 = \sqrt{250^2 - 50^2}

h = 244.95

The height of the building is of 244.95 feet.

Use the rational zero theorem to create a list of all possible rational zeroes of the function f(x) = 14x^7 - 4x^2 + 2
Bas_tet [7]

f(x) = 14x^7 - 4x^2 + 2

Use the rational zero theorem

In rational zero theorem, the rational zeros of the form +-p/q

where p is the factors of constant

and q is the factors of leading coefficient

f(x) = 14x^7 - 4x^2 + 2

In our f(x), constant is 2 and leading coefficient is 14

Factors of 2  are 1, 2

Factors of 14  are 1,2, 7, 14

Rational zeros of the form +-p/q  are

+-\frac{1,2}{1,2,7,14}

Now we separate the factors

+-\frac{1}{1}, +-\frac{1}{2}, +-\frac{1}{7}, +-\frac{1}{14},+-\frac{2}{1}, +-\frac{2}{2}, +-\frac{2}{7}, +-\frac{2}{14}

+-1, +-\frac{1}{2}, +-\frac{1}{7}, +-\frac{1}{14},+-2, +-1 , +-\frac{2}{7}, +-\frac{1}{2}

We ignore the zeros that are repeating

+-1, +-2, +-\frac{1}{2}, +-\frac{1}{7}, +-\frac{1}{14}, +-\frac{2}{7}

Option A is correct

Answer:

r = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x + y^2 - 8y = - 16

Take half the linear term and square it.

x^2 + 6x + (3)^2 + y^2 - 8y + (-4)^2 = - 16

Add the squared amounts to the right.

x^2 + 6x + 9 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = - 16 + 9 + 16  

Combine on the right.

x^2 + 6x + 9 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 9

Represent the 2 quadratics as perfect squares.

(x + 3)^2 + y - 4)^2 = 9

The radius is the square root of 9 which is 3

The inequality for this situation is given by 50 + p > 85

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let p represent number of pages from Monday to Friday.

Jerome wants to have read at least 85 pages by the end of the day on Friday, hence:

50 + p > 85

The inequality for this situation is given by 50 + p > 85

A regular octagon has a radius of 6 ft and a side length of
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<h2>Area of the regular octagon is approximately 102ft²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the radius and length of a side of regular octagon as shown;

radius = 6ft and length of side = 4.6ft

Area of a regular octagon is expressed as A = 2(1+\sqrt{2} )a^{2} where a is the length of one side. Given a = 4.6ft

Area = A = 2(1+\sqrt{2} )(4.6)^{2}\\

= 2(1+\sqrt{2} )*21.16\\= (2+2\sqrt{2})*21.16\\ = 4.83*21.16\\= 102.20ft^{2} \\

Area of the regular octagon is approximately 102ft²
