Write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (4, -5).

raketka [301]

Answer:

Horizontal line: y=-5

Vertical line: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to determine the equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (4, -5).

To determine the equation for the horizontal line passing through the point (4, -5), we must observe that the horizontal line will always have the same y-value regardless of the x-value.

Therefore, the equation of the horizontal line passing through the point (4, -5) will be: y=-5

To determine the equation for the vertical line passing through the point (4, -5), we must observe that the vertical line will always have the same x-value regardless of the y-value.

Therefore, the equation of the vertical line passing through the point (4, -5) will be: x=4

Hence:

Horizontal line: y=-5

Vertical line: x = 4

Will buys a large soda bottle that contains 40 fluid ounces of soda. If the serving size is 8 fluid Ounces per person, how many

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each friend gets a serving size, we can simply divide the total number of soda, 40, by the serving size, 8, to get 5.

Suppose the heights of professional horse jockeys are normally distributed with a mean of 62 in. and a standard deviation of 2 i

ch4aika [34]

Mean = 62 in
SD = 2 in

At 16% = 0.16 and using Z tables,

Z≈ -0.99

x =(-0.99*2) + 62 ≈ 60 in

This represents jockeys who are shorter than 60 in.

A train leaves at 14:56 and arrives at 16:43. It travelled at an average speed of 135 km/h. How far did it travel? Give your ans

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

240.8

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Calculate time taken

16:43 - 14:56 = 1 hour and 47 minutes

→ Write the speed formula and make distance the subject

Speed = Distance ÷ Time ⇔ Distance = Speed × Time

→ Convert 1 hour and 47 minutes into decimal format

1.78333333 or $1\frac{47}{60}$

→ Substitute values into formula

135 × $1\frac{47}{60}$ = 240.75

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

$0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 81\; \rm ft$ .

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be $(x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft$ .
