A 2-ft vertical post casts a 20-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 115-ft shadow. how tall is the cell phone tower?
the cell phone tower is _ ft

Answers

Answer 1

The height of the cell phone tower will be 138 feet.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A proportional is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

A 2-ft vertical post casts a 20-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 115-ft shadow.

Then the height of the cell phone tower will be

Let x be the height of the cell phone tower.

x / 2 = 115 x 12 / 20

    x = 69 x 2

    x = 138 feet

Team B has won 10 games.
In total, how many games have the three teams won?

Answers

Answer:

47.5 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding A :

⇒ Games by A : Games by B = 3 : 1

⇒ Games by A : 10 = 3 : 1

⇒ Games by A = 30

==============================================================

Finding C :

⇒ Games by B / Games by C × Games by A / Games by B = 3 × 4/3

⇒ Games by A / Games by C = 4

⇒ Games by C = 30/4

⇒ Games by C = 7.5

If you invest $18000 at an interest rate of 6.7%, compound quarterly, find the time needed for your investments to be worth $23,000

Answers

It will take approximately 5.5 years for the investment to be worth $23,000

Compound interest

From the question, we are to determine when the investments will worth $23,000

Using the compound interest formula,

[tex]A = P (1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Where A is the amount

P is the principal

r is rate

n is the number of times it is compounded

and t is the time in years

From the given information,

A = $23000

P =$18000

r = 6.7%

n = 4

t = ?

Putting the parameters into the formula, we get

[tex]23000 = 18000(1+\frac{6.7}{100 \times 4})^{4t}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{23000}{18000} = (1.01675)^{4t}[/tex]

[tex]1.4375= (1.01675)^{4t}[/tex]

[tex]1.4375 = (1.0687)^{t}[/tex]

t = 5.46

t ≅ 5.5 years

Hence, it will take approximately 5.5 years for the investment to be worth $23,000

(4-x)/(x^2-5x+4)+(2)/(x-1)=1

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = 2, 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

[tex]\frac{4-x}{x^{2} -5x+4} + \frac{2}{x-1} =1[/tex]

=============================================================

Factorize the denominator of the first term :

⇒ x² - 5x + 4

⇒ x² - x - 4x + 4

⇒ x(x - 1) - 4(x - 1)

⇒ (x - 4)(x - 1)

============================================================

Hence, the equation now is :

[tex]\frac{4-x}{(x-1)(x-4)} + \frac{2}{x-1} =1[/tex]

============================================================

Multiply the second term by (x - 4) in the numerator and denominator :

[tex]\frac{4-x}{(x-1)(x-4)} + \frac{2(x-4)}{x-1(x-4)} =1[/tex]

============================================================

Combine the numerator of both terms and bring the denominator to the other side :

[tex]\frac{4-x+2(x-4)}{(x-1)(x-4)} = 1[/tex]

[tex]4 - x+2x-8 = x^{2} - 5x + 4[/tex]

[tex]x - 4 = x^{2} - 5x + 4[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} -5x-x+4+4=0[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} -6x+8=0[/tex]

[tex](x-4)(x-2)=0[/tex]

what are the ways to determine if a relation is a function? select EACH correct answer

Answers

Answer:

the two selected are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a function only if it relates each element in its domain to only one element in the range. When you graph a function, a vertical line will intersect it at only one point. You can determine whether each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range. For example, if given a graph, you could use the vertical line test; if a vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the relation that the graph represents is not a function. The best way to find out whether an equation represents a function or not is by graphing the equation and then applying the vertical line test. Graph the two-variable equation on graph paper. For a straight line this means graphing two or more points on the line and connecting the dots.

Are the equations 18=3x-6+x and 18=4x-6 equivalent?​

Answers

Answer:

Yes, they are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 3x - 6 + x

+6 +6

24 = 3x + x

24 = 4x

24/4 = 4x/4

6 = x

18 = 4x - 6

+6 +6

24 = 4x

24/4 = 4x/4

6 = x

Both equations are equal to x = 6, therefore they are equivalent

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 3x - 6 + x

x = 1x

Combine like terms

3x + 1x = 4x

18 = 4x - 6 and 18 = 4x - 6

A monument in the shape of a square pyramid was built in a park.

The four lateral faces of the pyramid will be painted. The cost and coverage information for regular paint and metallic paint are shown in the table. Both paint types will be used on the monument.

PAINT TYPE COST(dollars per gallon) GALLONS(sq ft per gallon)
regular $35 200
metallic $100 80

The regular paint will require 2 coats, and the metallic paint will require 1 coat. Both paint types are sold only by the gallon. Based on the table, what is the least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument?

Answers

The least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.

Least amount of money that should be budgeted

First step

Using Pythagorean theorem to find the surface area

Since POR is a right triangle

Hence:

PO=20

BR=12

OR=12

PR=√20²+12²

PR=400+144

PR=544

Area of PBC=1/2×24×√544

Area of PBC=12√544

Lateral surface area=4×12√544

Lateral surface area=48√544

Lateral surface area=1119.54²ft

Second step

Since regular paint is  2 coats 200 sq. ft per gallon

Hence:

Number of gallons=1119.54×2/200

Number of gallons= 11.2 gallons

11.2×35= 392

1119.54/80=13 gallons

13×100 =1300

Last step

Least amount=392+1300

Least amount= $1692

Therefore the least amount of money that should be budgeted to paint the monument is $1692.
