A 6 ft tall person walks away from a 10 ft lamppost at a constant rate of 3 ft/s. What is the rate (in ft/s) that the tip of the shadow moves away from the pole when the person is 15 ft away from the pole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5 ft/s

Explanation:

Height of person = 6 ft

height of lamp post = 10 ft

According to the question,

dx / dt = 5 ft/s

Let the rate of tip of the shadow moves away is dy/dt.

According to the diagram

10 / y = 6 / (y - x)

10 y - 10 x = 6 y

y = 2.5 x

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

dy / dt = 2.5 dx / dt

dy / dt = 2.5 (5) = 12.5 ft /s

Penny Weights, use the weights of the post 1983 pennies to construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the weights of all post-1983 pennies. S=0.0165 n=37. Find confidence interval. a. 0.01231 < Ï < 0.2111 b. 0.01239 < Ï < 0.02111 c. 0.1391 < Ï < 0.2311 d. 0.001219 < Ï < 0.002111

Answers

Answer:

c. 0.1391 < Ï < 0.2311

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Confidence Interval is given as:

Mean ± z × Standard deviation/√n

Z score for 98% confidence interval = 2.326

Mean = Significance level = 100% - 98%

= 2% = 0.02

Standard deviation = S=0.0165

n= 37

Hence,

Confidence Interval =

0.02 ± 2.326 × 0.0165/√37

0.02 ± 0.0063094687

Confidence Interval

0.02 - 0.0063094687

= 0.1391

0.02 ± 0.0063094687

= 0.2311

Hence, the Confidence Interval = (0.1391, 0.2311)

= c. 0.1391 < Ï < 0.2311

Find the next three terms of the following arithmetic sequence -2, -5, -8, -11,

Answers

Answer: -14, -17, and -20

Step-by-step explanation: Study the sequence.

Notice that each number is 3 less than the number before it.

In other words, -2 - 3 is -5, -5 - 3 is -8, and -8 - 3 is -11.

Now, if we continue with this same sequence,

-11 - 3 is -14, -14 - 3 is -17, and -17 - 3 is -20.

So the next three numbers are -14, -17, and -20.

Property of an isosceles triangle,

Opposite angles of the equal sides in an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.

m∠D = m∠F

(2x + 8) = (3x + 4)

3x - 2x = 8 - 4

x = 4

m∠D = m∠F = (3×4 + 4)°

                    = 16°

m∠D = m∠F = 16°

Since, sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°

m∠D + m∠E + m∠F = 180°

16° + m∠E + 16° = 180°

m∠E = 180° - 32°

m∠E = 148°

Are these lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither? 3y=x+4 and 3x+y=1

Answers

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = x + 4 in slope intercept form y = 1/3x +4/3

3x + y = 1 in slope intercept form y = -3x +1

the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other so they are perpendicular

Answer:

These lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

3y=x+4

 [tex]y = \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Slope (m1) = 1/3

3x+y=1

     y = -3x + 1

Slope (m2) = - 3

m1 * m2 = [tex]\frac{1}{3}* -3[/tex]

             = -1

So, these lines are perpendicular.

If product of two slopes is (-1), then they are perpendicular lines.

If both lines have same slope, then they are parallel.
