Find a polynomial function with the given real zeros whose graph contains the given point.

Use a trigonometric ratio to find the distance EF.

leonid [27]

Answer:

The height of the building is approximately <u>73 m</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle EFG is shown below.

Given:

Length of shadow of building is, $FG=34\ m$

Angle of inclination of Sun with the vertical is 25°.

Therefore, the angle of inclination of Sun with the horizontal is given as:

$\angle G=90-25=65\°$

Now, in triangle EFG as shown below, we use the tangent ratio to determine the height of building EF. Therefore,

$\tan (\angle G)=\frac{EF}{FG}\\\tan 65\°=\frac{EF}{34}\\EF=34\times \tan 65\°=72.9\ m\approx 73\ m$

Therefore, the height of the building is approximately 73 m.

Devon exercised the same amount of time each day for 5 days last week. e His exercise included walking and swimming. e Each day

prohojiy [21]

I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Slope itnercept is y=mx+b

ok, let's start with point slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m
so given point (-3,4) and slope -3/4
y-4=-3/4(x-(-3))
y-4=-3/4(x+3)
distribute to solve for y
y-4=(-3/4)x-9/4
add 4 to both sides
y=(-3/4)x-9/4+4
y=(-3/4)x-9/4+16/4
y=(-3/4)x+7/4

A line includes the points (4,1) and (8, 2). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{4} x$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the equation. Use the slope formula $m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(2)-(1)}{(8)-(4)} \\m = \frac{2-1}{8-4}\\m = \frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the slope is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation in point-slope form (from there we can convert it to slope-intercept). Substitute values for $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ .

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $\frac{1}{4}$ for it. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, the end result will be the same) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (4,1), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the answer.

$y-(1) = \frac{1}{4} (x-4)\\y-1 = \frac{1}{4} x-1\\y = \frac{1}{4} x+0\\y=\frac{1}{4}x$

Someone please help!!!!!

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

144 people were originally at the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 boys is one fifth of the second boys population, so the second population is 18x9 = 162. The original population would be 162-18, which equals 144.
