the towers of a suspension bridge are 800 feet apart and rise 160 feet above the road. the cable between the towers has the shape of a parabola and the cable just touches the sides of the road midway between the towers. what is the height of the cabl...

Answer:

To convert inches to feet, we divide the number of inches by the number of inches per foot. One foot is equal to 12 inches.

So, to convert 5 inches to feet:

5 inches / 12 inches/foot = 5/12 feet

The answer can be simplified as a proper fraction.

5 inches = 5/12 feet

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these are alternate interior angles, 2x+20 and 3x are equivalent to each other. Therefore, we can set up this equation:

2x+20 = 3x

Now, we can solve this equation and find x:

20 = 3x-2x

x = 20

These provided angle measures (3x and 2x + 20) are a pair of alternate interior angles because they satisfy the following required conditions:

Since the two angles ARE alternate interior angles, they are EQUAL! Therefore, we can equate the two angles and solve for the variable (x).

{2x + 20 is equal to 3x} ⇒ 2x + 20 = 3x

The key step in solving the linear equation is to ISOLATE the variable completely by removing the coefficient until you have 1 as the coefficient.  

There are 4 possible ways to isolate the variable:

Once your variable is completely isolated, simplify (if possible) on the other side of the equation. If the opposite side of the variable is simplified, you can conclude your solution for the linear equation.

Now, let us solve the equation using the above step by step processes.

Isolating the variable from the constant(s) on the R.H.S:  

Simplify both sides of the equation:

Therefore, the solution to the linear equation (x) is 20.

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same.

This common difference is called the common ratio of the arithmetic progression. The general form of an arithmetic progression is a, a + d, a + 2d, ..., where a is the first term and d is a common difference.

The nth term of an arithmetic progression can be found by using the formula: a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term, d is a common difference, and n is the position of the term in the progression.

If a, b, and c are in arithmetic progression, then the common difference is (b-a) = (c-b).

If d, e, and f are also in arithmetic progression, then the common difference is (e-d) = (f-e).

If a, d are the same and b, e are the same, then c = f.

so the common difference between both progressions is the same, and c = f

What is the 45-45-90 triangle?

A 45-45-90 triangle is a special type of right triangle where the angles measure 45 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. The sides of the triangle are in a specific ratio to each other. The hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle, is the same length as the other two sides (the legs). This side length is also equal to the square root of 2 times the length of either leg. The legs of the triangle are congruent to each other. This triangle is also known as an "isosceles right triangle".

In the given figure, we can apply a 45-45-90 triangle,

side opposite to 45 = 1/√2 * Hypotenuse

x = 1/√2 * 2

The relative frequency of Selena's friends who speak more than one language is 3/16 or 0.1875

To create a relative frequency distribution, we first need to find the total number of responses by summing up the number of languages spoken by Selena's friends. In this case, the total number of responses is 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 16.

Next, we need to find the relative frequency for each category, which is the number of responses in that category divided by the total number of responses. To find the relative frequency of her friends who speak more than one language, we need to add up the number of responses in categories 2, 3, and above.

In this case, the number of responses in category 2 is 2, the number of responses in category 3 is 1, and there are no responses above 3.

If Fran swims at 2.2 mph in still water and  Lazy River flows at a speed of 0.6 mph , the the time required by Fran to go 2.4 mi upstream is 1.5  hours and 2.4 mi downstream is 0.857  hours .

the speed of Fran in still water (rate) = 2.2 mph ;

the sped of the river (current) is = 0.6 mph  ;

The time  taken by Fran to swim 2.4 miles upstream and 2.4 miles downstream can be calculated by formula :

⇒ time = distance/(rate + current)  ;

the distance to be covered is = 2.4 miles ;

For the time taken by Fran to swim upstream , the speed of current is subtracted from the Speed of Fran ;

So , time = 2.4/(2.2-0.6) = 2.4/1.6 = 1.5 hours

For the time taken by Fran to swim downstream, the speed of current is added to the Speed of Fran ;

So , time = 2.4/(2.2 mph + 0.6) = 2.4/2.8 = 0.857 hours

To find the integers in the set S that will make this inequality false, we need to find the values of m that do not satisfy it. We can start by simplifying the inequality:

(1/5)(m-5) <= (1/10)(m-20)

(1/5)m - (1/5)5 <= (1/10)m - (1/10)20

(1/5)m <= (1/10)m - (1/10)20 + (1/5)5

(1/5)m <= (1/10)m - 2 + (1/5)5

(4/5)m <= (1/5)5 - 2

Answer:

x = 7 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the triangle on the right has 3 congruent angles and is therefore equilateral with 3 congruent sides, so

3x - 5 = 5y - 4 → (1)

the triangle on the left has 2 congruent angles and is therefore isosceles with the 2 legs being congruent, so

3x - 5 = y + 12 → (2)

we have 2 equations with 3x - 5 on the left side so equate the right sides

5y - 4 = y + 12 ( subtract y from both sides )

4y - 4 = 12 ( add 4 to both sides )

4y = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 4

Then

5y - 4 = 5(4) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16 , so

3x - 5 = 16 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x = 21 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 7

It's important to note that even if the sample is random, there's still a chance that the sample may not be representative of the population, this is known as sampling error.

The fundamental act of thinking about anything logically and sensibly is best described as reasoning.

It depends on how the teacher choose the class members. Because every student had an equal chance of being chosen, the sample, if the students were chosen at random, is likely to be indicative of the class' performance on the quiz. However, the sample would not be indicative of the class's performance on the quiz if the teacher arbitrarily chose the students, for instance, by selecting only the best or the worst performers.

In general, if a sample is large enough and random, it is thought to be representative of the population. The likelihood that the sample is representative of the population rises with greater sample sizes. Since only 8 students were chosen in this instance, it's possible that the results don't accurately reflect how the entire class did on the quiz.

The term "sampling error" refers to the possibility that a sample, even one drawn at random, may not be representative of the population as a whole.

In this case, the relationship between x and y is represented by the equation y = x + 3.

To find the inverse of this equation, we need to switch the coordinates in each ordered pair, which is done by subtracting 3 from the output (y) for each ordered pair.
