Answer:

16.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture. The cable goes from the top of the pole to the ground (with the pole on the right in my drawing), and the point on the ground is 10 m away from the base of the pole. This forms a right triangle, with the right angle being between the 10 m distance and the pole itself. We can then apply the Pythagorean Theorem, so

a²+b²=c², with c being the side opposite the right angle (the cable), getting us

10²+(length of pole)² = 19²

19²-10²=(length of pole)²

= 261

square root both sides to isolate the length of the pole

length of pole ≈ 16.2 m

The slope of the line below is 2 use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a point slope equation of the line
yan [13]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B. The problem says that the slope is 2 and it as the points (3,10) on its line. When looking at the graph, you can see that the line crosses at four on the y-intercept which is why four will be your constant. So, your equation in slope intercept form will become y=2x+4. With this, you can start eliminating the given answers.

You can immediately eliminate c and d because the 2 is negative when it isn't in its slope form. It leaves you with a and b.

When looking at both a and b you now have to look at what your y will become when you sinplify both of them. In choice a, the 2 multiplies with the 3 and gives you 6. Since you have to leave the y by itself you have to subtract 10 from both sides which will leave you with -4. Since your y-intercept isn't negative you know that a isnt the ansewr.

When checking b, you multiply the 2 and -3 to get -6. Since you have to leave the y by itself, you add 10 to each side and end up with 4 which is the same number that crosses the y-axis. and that is how you know it's the right answer.

Simplify. (3x^2 + 3) - (6x + 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

6x^2 -11x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x^2 + 3) - (6x + 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)

Distribute the minus sign

(3x^2 + 3) - 6x - 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)

Combine like terms

3x^2 + 3x^2 - 6x  - 5x -4+3

6x^2 -11x -1

Which of the following best describes the slope of the line graph below
vlada-n [284]
The answer would be 0, as the slope of a line is definite as it pitch, or rate of increase. So if the line were going up to the right it would be positive, to the left, negative. An undefined slope would be the exact opposite of that slope. The slope you have, when written in y=mx+b is y=4

On the graph of the equation x − 4y = −16, what is the value of the y intercept
Artyom0805 [142]
The y-intercept is 4.

If you have x-4y=-16, in slope intercept form it is y=1/4x+4.
