Now given a rope hanging from the top of a pole. The end lying on the ground is 3 chi long. When tightly stretchedit is 8 chi from the bottom of the pole. Let x represent the height of the pole. Tell: how long is the rope and how high is the pole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the pole = 9.17 chi.

Length of the rope = 12.17 chi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rope is hanging from the top of a pole having height x chi and the portion of the rope lying on the ground is 3 chi.

So, the length of the rope= x + 3 chi.

Let AB represents the pole in the figure, and one end of the rope is at point A.

When the rope is tightly stretched, let C be the other end of the rope as shown in the triangle.

The length of the rope = AC.

\Rightarrow AC=x+3 chi.

Distance from the bottom of the pole, point A, to the other end of the pole, point B, is 8 chi.

So, BC=8 chi.

As the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle, so by using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]AC^2= AB^2+BC^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow (x+3)^2=x^2+8^2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x^2+6x+9=x^2+64[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 6x=64-9=55[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=55/6=9.17[/tex] chi.

Hence, the height of the pole, [tex]AB=x=9.17[/tex] chi,

and the length of the rope, [tex]x+3=9.17+3=12.17[/tex] chi.

A rectangle has a width of 10cm. The rectangle length is 4 times its width

Answers

Answer:

P = 100 centimeters (assuming you are asking for the perimeter)

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2 (L + W) OR P =  2L + 2W where P equals the perimeter, L equals the length, and W equals the width.

Since the rectangle's length is 4 times its width and given we know the width is 10 centimeters, then the length is 40 centimeters. Now we can substitute these values in our formula, okay?  

P = 2 (L + W)  

P = 2 (40 + 10)  

P = 80 + 20  

P = 100 centimeters

Factor -6 out of 18z - 15

Answers

Answer: -6(-3z+15/6)
Divide both 18z and -15 by -6 and then put -6 outside the parentheses with the quotients on the inside so the -6 can be distributed to create 18z-15

In mathematics, a factor is an integer or algebraic expression which divides another number or expression evenly, giving no remainder, and the further calculation can be defined as follows:

Given:

[tex]\bold{-6\ out \ of (18z - 15)}\\\\[/tex]

To find:

Factor=?

Solution:

[tex]\to \bold{-6\ out \ of (18z - 15)}\\\\\to \bold{-6\times \frac{(18z - 15)}{-6}}\\\\\to \bold{-6\ (-3z + \frac{5}{2})}}\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the final answer is "[tex]\bold{-6\ (-3z + \frac{5}{2})}}[/tex]".

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line. Identify the slopes y-intercept

Answers

Answer:

10) m: 6

    b: 5

    y= 6x +5

12)  m: -2

     b: -1

     y= -2x-1

14)  m: 1

     b: 0

     y= x

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is the form y=mx+b

m is the slope. You can find it by finding two points that the line intersects, and counting the number of units between them.

Remember the slope is "rise over run", so, the difference in y over the difference in x.

b is the y-intercept. You can find it by looking at where the line crosses the y-axis.

Answers

Answer:

4. y = -1/2x + 5

5. y = -1/3x + 3

6. y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For #4:

Because these lines are parallel, we know that they will have the same slope.

To get b, or the y-intercept, I just started at the point (4,4) and used the slope to work backwards to the y-axis. This is really not the best way to do it (especially with big numbers) but it works in a pinch. Also, I forgot the better way :/

For #5:

These lines are perpendicular. That means that the slopes are reciprocals of the other and, when multiplied with each other, the answer will be -1.

The reciprocal of 3 is -1/3.

To get the y-intercept, I did the same as above.

For #6:

x = 2 is a vertical line. To make a line perpendicular to it, that is, to make a line that intersects with it at 90°, the answer line will have to be horizontal.

That means that our answer is y = ?

We know that the line passes through a very specific point (2,1), and the line provided in the question already gives us the x value of this point. All we have to do is set y equal to the y value.

So, y = 1.

I hope this helps!

Remember that whole numbers that are next to each other, for example, 2 and 3, or 43, 44, and 45 are called consecutive numbers.

If n is the smallest of three consecutive integers, write an expression for the largest number.

Answers

Answer:

n +2

Step-by-step explanation:

If three numbers are consecutive, the 2nd number would be one more than the 1st number, and the 3rd number would be one more than the 2nd number.

Since the smallest number is n,

2nd consecutive number= n +1

3rd consecutive number

= n +1 +1

= n +2

Thus, the expression for the largest number is n +2.

Let's check!

If the smallest of the three consecutive number is 1, the 3rd consecutive number would be 3.

3rd consecutive number

= n +2

= 1 +2

= 3 (✓)

Thus, the expression is correct.

The 2-yard pièce of cotton cloth for $13.26

Step-by-step explanation:

2 yards is 6 feet then it would be $2.21 per foot.

The 17 foot piece would cost $3.29 per foot.

To answer this question, you need to determine which one has a lower price per unit.  In this scenario, you must divide the price of the cloths by their length in feet.

For the 2-yard piece of cotton cloth, first convert the length to feet.  There are three feet in a yard, so the cloth is 6 feet.  Then divide:

13.26/6=2.21

For the 17-foot piece of cotton cloth, simply divide:

55.93/17=3.29

The 2-yard piece of cotton cloth for $13.26 is the better buy because it has a lower unit price.

help me (a) The total cost of rent is determined by recording x months of rent at $1400 per month, plus a $150 application fee.

Answers

Answer:

$1400x  + $150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total cost of rent used for a month be $1400 plus a $150 application fee.

This means that;

Total cost (1 month) = $1400(1) + $150 = $1550

TO calculate the cost for x months, we will simply multiply x with the cost of rent for 1 month as shown.

The cost of rent for x month = 1400x * $150

The cost of rent for x month = $1400x  + $150 (application fee are paid only once)
