Ropes are 9.63 meters ans 8.178 meters.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1 :
List all the given things
Distance between people holding ropes = 40 =(40*0.3048) meters = 12.192 meters
Angle between two ropes = 86 degrees
Angle of elevation of one rope = 42 degrees
Step 2 :
Two angles of triangle are already given so third angle can be calculated as -
Third angle = 180 - ( 86 + 42 ) = 52 degrees
Step 3 :
As we know all three angles we will apply sine rule now, which is
Step 4 :
By putting values, we have
Step 5 : Calculating a and b
,
Step 6 :
By putting values of all sine and calculating we get,
a = 9.63 meters and b = 8.178 meters
Answer:
Second point (-5/2, -7/2)
First point (3/2, 17/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two equations, and we want to know at wich poin are equal. Hence, we have a system of equations and the solution is nothing more that the point (x,y) where those functions intercepts.
4x2+ 7x -11=y
3x+4=y
Lets use substitute method
4x2+7x-11=3x+4
This can be re arrange as the following eq:
4x2+4x-15=0
A quadratic equation, its solution can be obtained using the below eq.
where a=4, b=4, c=-15.
Remember, the quadratic equation as a +/- sign, meaning that you will obtain one answer using the + operator and other using the - operator.
By doing the above, we have x=-5/2 and x=3/2
By using x=3/2 in equation of line (3x+4=y) we have y=17/2
First point (3/2, 17/2)
By using x=-5/2 in equation of line (3x+4=y) we have y= -7/2
Second point (-5/2, -7/2)
Those points are the ones where the line and the parabola intercept.
