A man 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 11 feet long. A building casts a shadow of 139 feet long. The building is tall. Round your answer to the nearest 10th

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Height of man = 6 ft

Height of man's shadow = 11 feet

Height of building's shadow = 139 feet

To find:

The height of the building.

Solution:

We know that the heights of the objects and there shadows are always proportional.

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Height of man}}{\text{Height of man's shadow}}=\dfrac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Height of building's shadow}}[/tex]

Let x be the height of the building.

[tex]\dfrac{6}{11}=\dfrac{x}{139}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 139.

[tex]\dfrac{6}{11}\times 139=x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{834}{11}=x[/tex]

[tex]75.8181...=x[/tex]

[tex]x\approx 75.8[/tex]

Therefore, the building is 75.8 feet long.

Answer:

The third graph is correct for the inequality 2x + 3y > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph is –2/3.

The y-intercept is –1

The area above the dashed be line is shaded.

To verify, choose a coordinate in the shaded area, substitute the values for x and y. Calculate and check.

For example: (1,1)

2(1) + 3(1) > –3

2 + 3 > –3

5 > –3 True.

The graph that represents [tex]2x + 3y > -3[/tex] is (3)

The inequality is given as:

[tex]2x + 3y > -3[/tex]

Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality

[tex]3y > -3 -2x[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]y > -1 -\frac 23x[/tex]

Rewrite the inequality as follows:

[tex]y > -\frac 23x-1[/tex]

The above inequality means that:

The graph has a slope of -2/3The graph as a y-intercept of -1The line of the inequality is a dotted line, and the upper part is shaded

Hence, the graph that represents [tex]2x + 3y > -3[/tex] is (3)

Step-by-step explanation: To plot an inequality, find the number and go the way the sign is pointing.

In this problem...

The less than sign is pointing left, and the number is 4. We use an open circle because the sign is not equal to. If it was, we would of put a closed circle.

Answers

Answer:

3x + y = 20 and x - 2y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

(a)

Given

3x + y = 17 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

y = - 3x + 17 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Para;;el lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 8) into the partial equation

8 = - 12 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 12 = 20

y = - 3x + 20 ← in slope- intercept form

Add 3x to both sides

3x + y = 20 ← in standard form

--------------------------------------------------------

(b)

Given

y + 2x = 13 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

y = - 2x + 13 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 1 = 2

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2y = x + 4

x - 2y = - 4 ← in standard form

The value of w varies jointly with x and y, and w = 5 when x = 3/4 and y =2. What is the value of w when x = 4 and y = 3?

Answers

Answer:

A ∝ BCD or A = kBCD (k = constant ), then A varies jointly as B, C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 'w' when x = 4 and y = 3 is, 40.

What are ratio and proportion?

In its most basic form, a ratio is a comparison between two comparable quantities.

There are two types of proportions One is the direct proportion, whereby increasing one number by a constant k also increases the other quantity by the same constant k, and vice versa.

If one quantity is increased by a constant k, the other will decrease by the same constant k in the case of inverse proportion, and vice versa.

Given, The value of w varies jointly with x and y.

Let, w ∝ xy ⇒ w = kxy.

5 = k×(3/4)×2.

5 = (3/2)k.

k = 10/3.

Now, x = 4 and y = 3.

Therefore,

w = (10/3)×4×3.

w = 40.

The value of a stock increases by 8% each year.
1. Explain why the stock value does not increase by 80% each decade.
2. Does the value increase by more or less than 80% each decade?

Answers

Answer:

if it increases 8% each year, the next year it's not 8% of the original, but 8% of the 108% and so forth.

The increase after 10 years is (108%)^10 - 100% which is bigger than 80%.

If the value of a stock increases by 8% each year, then, that is not equal to the value of a stock increases 80% each decade.

What is Percentage Increase?

The degree to which a value increases expressed in percent form is known as percentage increase.

Given that, The value of a stock increases by 8% each year.

a) If it increases 8% each year, the next year it's not 8% of the original, but 8% of the 108% and so forth, the incasement in percentage is an exponential increase not a linear increase, so we can't say that, the value of the stock increases 80% each decade

b) Since,  (108%)¹⁰ > 80%

Hence, the increase after 10 years is (108%)¹⁰, will be bigger than 80%.

Hence, If the value of a stock increases by 8% each year then, that is not equal to the value of a stock increases 80% each decade
