To balance a seesaw, the distance a person is from the fulcrum is inversely proportional to his or her weight . Roger , who weighs 120 pounds is sitting 6 feet from the fulcrum . Ellen weighs 108 pounds . How far from the fulcrum must she sit to balance the seesaw ? Round to the nearest hundredth of a foot .

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]d_e =6.67ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Weight of Roger [tex]W_r=120\ pounds[/tex]

Distance of Roger from fulcrum [tex]d_r=6 ft[/tex]

Weight of Ellen [tex]W_e=120\ pounds[/tex]

Generally the equation for distance-weight relationship is mathematically given by

  [tex]d\alpha \frac{1}{W}[/tex]

  [tex]\frac{d_1}{d_2} =\frac{W_2}{W_1}[/tex]

  [tex]\frac{d_r}{d_e} =\frac{W_e}{W_r}[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]\frac{d_e}{d_r} =\frac{W_r}{W_e}[/tex]

 [tex]d_e =\frac{W_r*d_r}{W_e}[/tex]

 [tex]d_e =\frac{6*120}{108}[/tex]

 [tex]d_e =6.67ft[/tex]

Therefore the distance from the fulcrum she must sit to balance the seesaw is given as

[tex]d_e =6.67ft[/tex]

What is the measure of XZ?

A. 36°
B. 144°
C. 72°
D. 18°

Answers

Answer:

C.72

Step-by-step explanation:

angle XYZ is an inscribed angle and arc XZ is the arc it intercepts

If you didn't know the measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its arc it intercepts or an intercepted arc equals twice the measure of its inscribed angle

Hence, angle XYZ * 2= arc XZ

If Angle XYZ = 36

then 36 * 2 = arc XZ

36 * 2 = 72

hence the answer is C

The measure of arc is 72 degree, the correct option is C.

What is an arc?

An arc is formed by two radii and their intercepted part on the circumference.

According to the theorem of arc and subtended angles, the central angle subtended by the arc is double the angle subtended by it on the circumference.

The angle subtended by arc XZ on the circumference is 36 degree.

The angle subtended by the arc at the center is = 2 * 36 = 72 degree.

The arc subtended by the arc at the center of the circle is the measure of the arc.

Bernice uses the equation C = 2h + 8 to find the total cost, C, in dollars, of renting a boat for h hours. If Bernice does not spend more than $32, what is the maximum number of hours she can rent the boat?
a 8
b 12
c 20
d 22​

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she's not spending more than $32, the equation is 2h + 8 ≤ 32.

Isolate h to find the maximum number of hours she can rent the boat:

2h + 8 ≤ 32

First, subtract 8 from both sides.

2h ≤ 16

Then divide both sides by 2.

h ≤ 8

h, the number of hours, must be less than or equal to 8, so 8 is the maximum number of hours Bernice can rent the boat for.

He has a 40% chance of picking blue.

Find 40% of 30.

12

He would draw a blue marble around 12 times.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

So in the bag, there are 10 marbles, and 4 of them are blue, so if he drew from the bag 10 times, we can assume the fraction:

4/10

Next, we see that the denominator, or the number times Cade is drawing from the bag is 30, which makes us multiply most sides of the fraction by 3:

12/30

So I would say 12/30, but again, he wouldn't draw a blue exactly 4 times, and it may be more or less, so either 8/12....

Step 2: 3xx = 4x
Step 3:3x = 4
Step 4: x = 4/3​

Answers

Well the answer is correct but the working out is wrong because you are supposed to subtracts 4x by both sides first then factor out x thirdly find the equation solutions and then solve



Step 1) 3x^2 - 4x = 0
Step 2) x(3x - 4) = 0
Step 3) x = 0
Step 4) 3x - 4 = 0 + 4 hereby leaves 3x = 4
Step 5) x = 0 and x = 4/3

Tyler asks for a fish tank for his birthday. The task he wants is a rectangular prism 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. How much water will the fish tank hold?

the capacity of the tank can be determined by calculating the volume of the tank

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=−5/4x+7
and that passes through the point (-4,1)

Answers

Answer:

y=-5/4x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have to have the same slope so they don't intersect each other

original equation with the same slope and rewrite it using point slope form:

y-y1=-5/4(x-x1) now Substitute the point(-4,1)

y-1=-5/4(x-(-4))

y-1=-5/4(x+4)

Now we can distribute the -5/4 and add 1 to the right to get our final slope-intercept form:

y-1=-5/4x-5

y=-5/4x-4.

The parallel line of y=-5/4x+7 that passes through point (-4,1) is y=-5/4x-4.

Answer: y=-5/4x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must use SOH, CAH, TOA

SOH= Sin0=opp/hyp

CAH=Cos0=adj/hyp

TOA= Tan0=opp/adj

Since we have opposite and hypotenuse we use Sin ratio, in this case,

sin30°= [tex]\frac{a}{24}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{a}{24}[/tex] we cross multiply

[tex]\frac{2a}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{24}{2}[/tex]divide both sides by 2 to get a by itself

a=12

Answer:

a = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a, we will use the trigonometric ratio of Sin, since the opposite side of the angle given needs to be found out and the hypotenuse is given;

Sin(30) = [tex]\frac{a}{24}[/tex]

Sin(30) * 24 = a

12 = a

Answer:

x=34

Again we are given an angle's ( x to be more specific )  opposite side length and the adjacent side length so we will use trig ratio tangent

Recall that tan = opposite over hypotenuse

[tex]tan(x)*tan^-^1=x\\tan^-1*\frac{29}{43} =33.99645915\\x=33.99645915[/tex]

The length of a rectangle flower bed is 5ft longer than its width. A sidewalk with a width of 3ft surrounds the bed. If the total area of the bed and sidewalk is 546ft^2, what are the dimensions of the flower bed ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]W=15ft[/tex]

[tex]L=20ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length of Bed [tex]L=5+W[/tex]

Width of sidewalk [tex]W_s=3ft[/tex]

Area of the bed and sidewalk [tex]A_t= 546ft^2[/tex]

Generally the equation for Area of the bed and sidewalk[tex]A_t[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]Area=L*B[/tex]

 [tex]A_t=((3+3)+L)*((3+3)+W)[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]546=((3+3)+(5+W))*((3+3)+W)[/tex]

 [tex]0=((6+(5+W))*((6)+W)-546[/tex]

 [tex](11+W)*(6+W)-546=0[/tex]

 [tex]W^2+17B-480=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 5x + 3

y = -3

x^2 - 5x + 3 = -3

x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 2) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

x = 3 or x = 2

We are given y = -3.

Answer: (2, -3), (3, -3)

Answer:

(2, -3) , (3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

One is asked to find what values of the parameter (x) will yield the result (f(x)=-3) if the function (f(x)) is the following,

[tex]f(x)=x^2-5x+3[/tex]

Set this equation up, and solve to find the value of (x) that satisfies this requirement:

[tex]f(x)=x^2-5x+3=-3[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]x^2-5x+6=0[/tex]

Factor, rewrite the quadratic equation as the product of two linear equations,

[tex](x-2)(x-3)=0[/tex]

Therefore the solutions are the following, the (x-coordinate) represents the input, and the (y-coordinate) represents the output.

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of P' are [tex]P'(x,y) = (1, 0)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point P' is determined by the following expression:

[tex]P'(x, y) = P(x,y) + T(x,y)[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]P(x,y)[/tex] - Original point.

[tex]P'(x,y)[/tex] - Translated point.

[tex]T(x,y)[/tex] - Translation vector.

If we know that [tex]P(x,y) = (3, -3)[/tex] and [tex]T(x,y) = (-2, 3)[/tex], then the coordinates of point P':

[tex]P'(x,y) = (3, -3) + (-2, 3)[/tex]

[tex]P'(x,y) = (1, 0)[/tex]

The coordinates of P' are [tex]P'(x,y) = (1, 0)[/tex].

What is inverse trigonometry?

Simply put, inverse trigonometric operations are the opposites of the fundamental trigonometric parameters sine, cosine, secant, cosecant, tangent, and cotangent.

The connection between the lengths and angles of a triangular shape is the subject of trigonometry.

The inverse trigonometric expression is given below.

⇒ sin⁻¹(sin 17°)

We know that the value of sin⁻¹(sin θ) is θ.

Then the value of the inverse trigonometric expression will be

⇒ sin⁻¹(sin 17°)

⇒ 17°

Thus, the value of the inverse trigonometric expression sin⁻¹(sin 17°) will be 17°.
