Answer: x = 67.5 ft

Explanation:

Following the statements you can draw the triangles mnp and mab.

1) Both are similar triangles with the common vertex m, and with these corresponding sides:

- segment mn corresponding to ma
- segment np corresponding np
- segment mp corresponding mb

2) So, by side-angle-side theorem

segment ma         segment mb
------------------ = ---------------------
segment mn          segment mp

3) You know:

- segment mn = 71.5
- segment ma = 71.5 - 22 = 49.5
- segment mb = x
- segment mp = 97.5

4) Therefore:

    x            49.5
--------- =  ----------
97.5            71.5

5) Solve for x:

x = 97.5 * 49.5 / 71.5 = 67.5

Answer: x = 67.5 ft.

Write the equation of the graph obtained when the graph of y=1/x is compressed vertically by a factor of 0.25, translated 4 unit
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The equation is y = 0.25/(x - 4) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a function y = f(x)

A compression means that we multiply the function by a factor smaller than 1.

Then the vertical compression by a factor of 0.25 is:

y = 0.25*f(x)

a translation by A units to the right, means that we need to valuate the function in x - A.

So now we have:

y = 0.25*f(x - 4)

A translation in the y-axis means that we need to add a constant to the equation, then if we tralate it by 3 units up, we have:

y = 0.25*f(x - A) + 3

Then, if f(x) = 1/x

Our new equation is:

y = 0.25/(x - 4) + 3

Can anyone factor this?? I'm a little lost tysm!!!!<br> 5x^2+12x+4 5x 2 +12x+4
Sergio039 [100]

For a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c=5⋅4=20 and whose sum is b=12.

<u>Factor 12 out of 12x.</u>

5x^2+12(x)+4

<u>Rewrite 12 as 2 plus 10</u>

5x^2+(2+10)x+4

Apply the distributive property.

5x^2+2x+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(5x^2+2x)+10x+4

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(5x+2)+2(5x+2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x+25x+2.

(5x+2)(x+2)

The surface area of this regular pyramid is 1040 cm2. The base is a regular pentagon with side b = 16 cm and slant height l =15
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.

The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.

  1. B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
  2. B + 600 = 1040
  3. 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
  4. 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
  5. 40*a = 440
  6. 440/40 = 11

The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!
