Answers

Answer 1
The complete question: 
An airplane is sighted at the same time by two ground observers who are 5 miles apart and both directly west of the airplane. they report the angles of elevation as 14° and 30° how high is the airplane? round to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

Check the diagram of the situation in the picture attached.

First, we are going to use the law of sines to find the measure of side [tex]a[/tex] in triangle ABC:
[tex] \frac{a}{sin(14)} = \frac{5}{sin(16)} [/tex]
[tex]a= \frac{5sin(14)}{sin(16)} [/tex]
[tex]a=4.39[/tex]

Next, we are going to use the trig function Sine in triangle BCD to find the height, [tex]h[/tex], of the plane:
[tex]sin(30)= \frac{h}{4.39} [/tex]
[tex]h=4.39sin30[/tex]
[tex]h=2.19[/tex]

We can conclude that the plane is 2.19 miles high.

Answers

in a rhombus, the diagonals meet at right-angles, and they bisect each other, namely they cut each other in half, check the picture below.

thus we can use the pythagorean theorem to get one side, keeping in mind that, slanted as it may be, all sides in a rhombus are equal in length.

Haley read three less than twice as many books as her brother did last summer. haley read five books.which equation could you use to find how many books her brother read (b)?

Answers

Your answer would be 2b-3=5
The 2 stands for the "twice as many"
The b stands for her brother.
The 3 stands for the "3 less books"
And the 5 stands for Haley's total.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

2b - 3 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If her brother read b number of books last summer, twice the number of books her brother read

= 2b

three less than twice as many books as her brother read

= 2b - 3

If haley read five books and it is same as three less than twice as many books as her brother last summer, then

2b - 3 = 5

Find the height of the cylinder.


options;

Answers

[tex]\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -----\\ V=271.4\\ r=6 \end{cases}\implies 271.4=\pi (6)^2h\implies \cfrac{271.4}{\pi (6)^2}=h[/tex]

The height of cylinder is,

⇒ h = 2.4 inches

We have to given that,

In a cylinder,

Volume = 271.4 inches³

And, Radius = 6 inch

Since, We know that,

Volume of cylinder is,

⇒ V = πr²h

Where, V is volume , r is radius and h is height.

Substitute all the values, we get;

⇒ 271.4 = 3.14 × 6² × h

⇒ 271.4 = 3.14 × 36 × h

⇒ 271.4 = 113.04 × h

⇒ h = 2.4 inches

Thus, The height of cylinder is,

⇒ h = 2.4 inches

-2x+3 > x +24

Show steps how you got your solution

Answers

- 2x + 3 > x + 24

First we must get all variables on the same side and constants on the opposite side. To do so we subtract x from the right and the left. Then subtract 3 from both sides as well. 

- 2x - x > 24 - 3 

Now we combine like terms:

- 3x > 21

We must isolate the variable x. In order to do so, we divide both sides by - 3. When you divide by a negative number, you must also flip the inequality so the greater than becomes a less than. 

x < 21 / - 3

x < - 7 is your answer. 
Hello!

You can solve this algebraically

-2x + 3 > x + 24

Subtract x from both sides

-3x + 3 > 24

Subtract 3 from both sides

-3x > 21

Divide both sides by -3

Since you divided by a negative you flip the sign

x < -7

The answer is x < -7 or any number that is greater than -7

answer
A) 2.4mi/hr
Final answer:

The student's conversion calculation of speed units from kilometers per minute to miles per hour yields a speed of 2.4 miles/hour, so the answer is choice A.

Explanation:

The question is a conversion exercise in speed units from kilometers per minute to miles per hour. We have the following information: 3.2 km in 50 min, and we know that 1 mile is equivalent to 1.6 km and 60 min is equivalent to 1 hour. Thus, the conversion is as follows:

3.2 km ÷ 50 min. = 0.064 km/min.

Converting km/min to mi/hr involves multiplying by 60 (minutes in an hour) and dividing by 1.6 (km in a mile), and we get:

(0.064 km/min x 60 min/hr) ÷ 1.6 km/mi. = 2.4 mi/hr.

Hence, the correct answer is (A) 2.4 miles/hour.

1972 feet.

256 feet.

Answers

For this case we have the following equation:
 T = 2π√L / 32
 Clearing L we have:
 T / 2π = √L / 32
 (T / 2π) ^ 2 = L / 32
 L = 32 * (T / 2π) ^ 2
 Substituting values:
 L = 32 * (8.72 / (2 * (3.14))) ^ 2
 L = 61.69694511 feet
 Round to the nearest foot:
 L = 62 feet
 Answer:
 
L = 62 feet
 In this situation, you have to use the equation
T = 2π√L / 32
 We need to find L so we have:
 T / 2π = √L / 32
 (T / 2π) ^ 2 = L / 32
 L = 32 * (T / 2π) ^ 2

 Substitute the values:
 L = 32 * (8.72 / (2 * (3.14))) ^ 2
 L = 61.69694511 feet
 L = 62 feet
 So the Answer is
 L = 62 feet

To solve this system of equations by elimination, what operation could be used to eliminate the y-variable and find the value of x? 2x − 4y = 6 −3x + 3y = 12 A) add 3 times the second equation to 4 times the first equation B) add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation C) subtract 3 times the second equation from 4 times the first equation D) subtract 4 times the second equation from 3 times the first equation

Answers

Answer:

Option B is correct.

add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation:

[tex]2x - 4y = 6[/tex]                         ......[1]

[tex]-3x + 3y =12[/tex]                       .....[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

[tex]3(2x-4y) = 3 \cdot 6[/tex]

Using distributive property; [tex]a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c[/tex]

6x - 12y = 18                                   .......[3]

Multiply equation [2] by 4 we get;

[tex]4(-3x+3y) = 4 \cdot 12[/tex]

Using distributive property we get;

-12x + 12y = 48                                   ......[4]

Add equation [3] and [4] to eliminate y and solve for x;

(6x -12y) + ( -12x +12y ) = 18 + 48

6x - 12y -12x + 12y = 66

Combine like terms;

6x - 12x = 66

or

-6x = 66

Simplify:

x = -11

Therefore, the operation which could be used to eliminate the y-variable and find the value of x is;

add 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first equation.

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a system of two equations as

[tex]2x − 4y = 6 \\−3x + 3y = 12[/tex]

To solve them using elimination:

Elimination method is the method of making coefficients of one variable numerically equal

IN the given system we have -4 as coefficient for y in I equation and 3 for y in II equation.

To make them numerically equal with opposite signs we can multiply I equation by 3 and II by 4

WE get

[tex]6x-12y =18\\-12x+12y=48[/tex]

Now if we add these two we are able to eliminate y from the system

Adding gives

[tex]-6x=66\\x=-11[/tex]

So option B is right

The scale factor of a figure and its enlargement is 6. What is the new length of the enlarged figure if the original length is 3 cm?
3 cm
6 cm
18 cm
36 cm

Answers

You multiply three times six.

3 x 6 = 18


Answer:

The new length of the enlarged figure will 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies the original figure by some quantity.

In the equation [tex]y = Cx[/tex], C is a scale factor for x. It is called the constant of proportionality or scale factor of y to x.

As the given length is 3 cm, so with a scale factor of 6, the length of the enlarged figure will be [tex]3\times 6=18[/tex] cm

Therefore, the new length of the enlarged figure will 18 cm.

For a function p(x)= x^2-9, what is the inverse function for the domain [0, infinity\

Answers

An inverse function is a function that reverses another function, so we have a function called:

[tex]p(x)[/tex]

Then, the inverse function will be as follows:

[tex]p^{-1}(x) [/tex]

Given that [tex]y = p(x)[/tex], we need to isolate x in terms of y:

[tex]y = x^{2} -9[/tex]
∴ [tex]y+9 = x^{2}[/tex]

So:

[tex]x=+\sqrt{y+9}[/tex] and [tex]x=-\sqrt{y+9}[/tex]

therefore, exchanging variables x and y:

[tex]y=+\sqrt{x+9}[/tex] and [tex]y=-\sqrt{x+9}[/tex]
[tex]p^{-1}(x)=+\sqrt{x+9}[/tex] and [tex]p^{-1}(x)=-\sqrt{x+9}[/tex]
