a street light is mounted at the top of a 15-foot pole. A 6-foot tall man walks away from the pole along a straight path. How long is his shadow when he is 40 feet from the pole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x=26.67[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of Pole [tex]h_p=15 foot[/tex]

Height of Man [tex]h_m =6ft[/tex]

Distance from Pole [tex]d_p=40ft[/tex]

Generally the equation for similar Property is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{h_p}{h_m}=\frac{d_p+x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{h_m*(d_p+x)}{h_p}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{6*(40+x)}{15}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{240+6x}{15}[/tex]

[tex]x=16+0.4x\\x-0.4x=16[/tex]

[tex]x=16\0.6[/tex]

[tex]x=26.67[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

  p = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the first two terms is ...

  5p -p = 4p

Since this is an arithmetic sequence, the next term will be 4p more than the last term:

  5p +4p = 9p

Then the sum of the first three terms is ...

  p + 5p + 9p = 90

  15p = 90 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

A store has a sale with 10% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an additional 10% off. Is this equal to a 20% discount

Answers

Answer: It's not equal to 20% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the cost of a good is $100. Since there's 10% off on every item, the cost of the good will be:

= $100 - (10% × $100)

= $100 - $10

= $90

Since the coupon states that one will receive an additional 10% off, therefore the amount that the person will pay will be:

= $90 - (10% × $90)

= $90 - (0.1 × $90)

= $90 - $9

= $81

If the same good is $100 and there's a 20% discount, the amount that'll be paid will be:

= $100 - (20% × $100)

= $100 - (0.2 × $100)

= $100 - $20

= $80

Therefore, it's not equal to 20% discount.

A bag hes 10 red marbles, 3 green marbles,
7 yelow marbles, and 5 blue merbles. What is
the probability of crowing a red marble and
then g, blue, marble without replacing the first?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance of an event happening. One finds the probability of an event by using the following general formula,

[tex]\frac{desired}{total}[/tex]

In this case, the desired outcome is pulling whether a red or blue marble from the bag, the desired equals the sum of the number of red and blue marbles.

(red) + (blue)

= 10 + 5

= 15

The total number of marbles is the sum of all the number of marbles in the bag.

(red) + green)  + (yellow) + (blue)

= 10 + 3 + 7 + 5

= 25

Now substitute these values into the formula to find the probability, then simplify,

[tex]\frac{15}{25}[/tex]

Divide both the numerator and denominator by (5),

[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

The accompanying table shows the value of a car over time that was purchased for 14100 dollars, where x is years and y is the value of the car in dollars. Write an exponential regression equation for this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest thousandth. Using this equation, determine the value of the car, to the nearest cent, after 15 years.

Answers

Answer:

equation: 14506.226(0.870)^x

answer: 1796.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugging in the tables into your calcuator

a= 14506.226

b= .870

y=ab^x

y= 14506.226(0.870)^x

= 1796.15

The equation of the exponential regression is [tex]\rm y = 14100 \ e^{-0.087x}[/tex]. And the value of a car after 15 years is $ 3,823.53.

What is an exponent?

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

The accompanying table shows the value of a car over time that was purchased for 14100 dollars, where x is years and y is the value of the car in dollars.

The exponential regression equation will be given as

[tex]\rm y = A_o e^{kx}[/tex]

Where A₀ is the coefficient of exponential regression and k is the constant.

For x = 0, the value of y will be $ 14100. Then we have

[tex]\rm 14100= A_o e^{k*0}\\\\ A_o \ \ \ \ = 14100[/tex]

Then the equation will be

[tex]\rm y = 14100 \ e^{kx}[/tex]

For x = 1, the value of y will be $12,929. Then we have

[tex]\rm 12929= 14100 e^{k*1}\\\\ e^k \ \ \ \ = 0.91695[/tex]

Taking ln both sides, then we have

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm ln\ e^k &= ln \ 0.91695\\\\\rm k*ln \ e &= -0.087\\\\\rm k &= -0.087 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Then the equation will be

[tex]\rm y = 14100 \ e^{-0.087x}[/tex]

Then after 15, the value of a car will be

[tex]\rm y = 14100 \ e^{-0.087*15}\\\\\rm y = 14100 * 0.2712\\\\\rm y = 3823.53[/tex]

The distribution of student scores on the quantitative section of the SATs have an approximately normal distribution with a mean score of 501 points, and a standard deviation of 85 points. If you randomly select one student who has taken the SAT, what is the probability that the student will have scored greater than 600 points on the quantitative section of the SATs

Answers

Answer:

0.122 = 12.2% probability that the student will have scored greater than 600 points on the quantitative section of the SATs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean score of 501 points, and a standard deviation of 85 points.

This means that [tex]\mu = 501, \sigma = 85[/tex]

What is the probability that the student will have scored greater than 600 points on the quantitative section of the SATs?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 600. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{600 - 501}{85}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.165[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.165[/tex] has a p-value of 0.878.

1 - 0.878 = 0.122

0.122 = 12.2% probability that the student will have scored greater than 600 points on the quantitative section of the SATs.

While remodeling their living room, the Smart family decided to repaint the walls. They
estimated that they could repaint 55 square feet every half-hour. How many square feet
can they paint per hour?

Answers

Answer:

The Smart family could paint 110 square feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that while remodeling their living room, the Smart family decided to repaint the walls, and they estimated that they could repaint 55 square feet every half-hour, to determine how many square feet can they paint per hour the following calculation must be performed:

1/2 = 0.5

0.5 = 55

1 = X

55 / 0.5 = X

110 = X

Therefore, the Smart family could paint 110 square feet per hour.
