Answer:

54ft

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3foot is 4ft tall

then a shadow of 72 ft will be how tall?= x

4x =3ft by 72ft

4x= 216ft

x= 216/4

×=54

The solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

The best way to solve the above equation is by the use of a graphing calculator i.e. graphically

However, it can be solved algebraically too (to some extent)

Recall that the equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

Split the equation

So, we have

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

p - 1/3 = 0

Solve for p in p - 1/3 = 0

p = 1/3

Substitute p = 1/3  in p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

So, we have

(1/3)^2 - 2q(1/3) + 1/q = 0

This gives

1/9 - 2/3q + 1/q = 0

This gives

2/3q + 1/q = -1/9

Multiply though by q

So, we have

2/3q^2 + 1 = -1/9q

Multiply through by 9

6q^2 + 9 = -q

So, we have

6q^2 + q + 9 = 0

Using the graphing calculator, we have

q = undefined

Hence. the solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

Let event A = You roll an even number on the first cube.Let event B = You roll a 6 on the second cube.Are the events independent
Gnesinka [82]

The events are independent. By definition, it means that knowledge about one event does not help you predict the second, and this is the case: even if you knew that you rolled an even number on the first cube, would you be more or less confident about rolling a six on the second? No.

An example in which two events about rolling cubes are dependent could be something like:

Event A: You roll the first cube

Event B: The second cube returns a higher number than the first one.

In this case, knowledge on event A does change you view on event B (and vice versa): if you know that you rolled a 6 on the first cube you don't want to bet on event B, while if you know that you rolled a 1 on the first cube, you're certain that event B will happen.

Conversely, if you know that event B has happened, you are more likely to think that the first cube rolled a small number, and vice versa.

Y=4x-18<br><br> Find ordered pairs of intercepts of each line
Masja [62]

The ordered pairs for the intercepts are as follows:

x intercept = 9/2

y intercept = -18

In order to find either of these you must put 0's in for the other variable. So, to find the x intercept, we start by putting 0 in for y.

y = 4x - 18

0 = 4x - 18

-4x = -18

x = 9/2

To find the y intercept, we put a 0 in for x.

y = 4x - 18

y = 4(0) - 18

y = 0 - 18

y = -18

Can anyone explain how to do any of this?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

qn 10. 15mn² - 23m²n +4m³

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute 4m through the parenthesis

8mn² - 12m²n + 4m³ - 2n(5m² - 3nm) + nm(n-m)

2. use the commutative property to reorder the terms

8mn² - 12m²n + 4m³ - 2n(5m² - 3mn) + mn(n - m)

3. distribute -2n through the remaining parenthesis

8mn² - 12m²n + 4m³ -10m²n + 6mn² + mn² - m²n

4. collect like terms

8mn² + 6mn² + mn² - 12m²n - 10m²n - m²n + 4m³

5. complete bodmas

15mn² - 23m²n +4m³

that's is how you do it so the answer is

15mn² -23m²n + 4m³

Suppose a 50-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. Which statements about the base of the ladder are true? Choose two that appl
dimaraw [331]

Answer: 30-40-50, or B

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this equation of a right triangle. We know that the hypotenuse is 50 feet and leaning.

Since right triangles follow a formula is 3-4-5, then, 30, 40 and 50 is the answer.
