A light shines from the top of a pole 50ft high. a ball is dropped from the same height from a point 30 ft away from the light.

how fast is the ball's shadow moving along the ground 1/2 sec later? (assume the ball falls at a distance of s=16t^2 in t sec)

The speed of the ball is 
ds/dt = 32t
At t =1/2 s
ds/dt = 16 ft/s
The distance from the ground
50 - 16(1/2)^2 = 46 ft
The triangles formed are similar
50/46 = (30 + x)/x
x = 345 ft

50 / (50 - s) = (30 + x)/x
Taking the derivative and substituing
ds/dt = 16
and
Solve for dx/dt

finlep [7]

Answer:

200 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the warehouse =60,000$ ft^2

Let the length of the warehouse=l

The warehouse's width is exactly  \dfrac23 of its length

Therefore: Width of the warehouse=\dfrac23l

Area =Length X Width

Therefore:

\dfrac23l*l=60000\\$Cross multiply\\2l^2=60000*3\\2l^2=180000\\$Divide both sides by 2\\2l^2 \div 2=180000 \div 2\\l^2=90000\\l^2=300^2\\$Length, l=300 feet\\Recall: Width =\dfrac23l\\$Therefore, Width of the warehouse=\dfrac23*300=200$ feet

Rewrite the function by completing the square. h(x)= 4 x^{2} -36 x +81
noname [10]

Answer:

4(x-4.5)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=4x^2-36x+81

=4(x^2-9x)+81

=4(x^2-9x+20.25)-(4)(20.25)+81

=4(x-4.5)^2

An angle measures 73.6° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Smaller angle = 53.2

Larger angle = 126.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say x is the measure of the supplement. Since we know they're supplementary, we know their angle measure sum will equal 180. We can set up our equation like this x + (x-73.6) = 180. Note: (x - 73.6) is the measure of the smaller angle. By solving, we get 126.8 degrees for the measure of the supplement. If we plug in the value of x into (x-73.6), we get 53.2 degrees as the angle measure of the smaller angle.
