Answer 1

Complete question :

a ladder 5 meters long is leaning against a wall. the base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a rate of 1 meter per second. how fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall at the instant when the base is 4 meters from the wall?

Answer:

-4/3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras :

a² = x² + c²

5² = x² + y² - - - (1)

The horizontal distance x with respect to time t = 1m/sec

dx/dt = 1m/sec

To obtain the vertical height 'y' with respect to time t when x = 4

5² = x² + y²

Wen x = 4

5² = 4² + y²

25 = 16 + y²

y =√(25 - 16)

y = 3

Differentiate (1) with respect to t

x² + y² = 25 - ---- - (1)

2x * dx /dt + 2y dy/dt = 0

dx/dt = 1

x = 4.

y = 3

2(4)(1) + 2(3) * dy/dt = 0

8 + 6dy/dt = 0

6 dy/dt = - 8

dy/dt = - 8/6

dy/dt = - 4/3

The sum of two numbers is 12. Three times the smaller number increased by the larger number is 20 . Find the numbers .Write the solution

Answers

Answer:

In these types of algebra problems where we are given numbers that are "unknown" and asked to find them, it is a good idea to give them names.

Let the larger number be X.

Let the smaller number be Y.

If the larger number is three times the smaller number, we can use this information to write an equation, using our labels for the two unknown numbers. See how I translate this sentence into an equation:

The larger number is three times the smaller number.

                    X           =     3     *               Y

X = 3*Y

We've got one equation down. Since we have two variables, we're going to need two equations to solve for both of them.

The sum of two numbers is twenty-four.

                      X    +    Y    =     24

X+Y = 24

But, from our previous equation, we know that X is the same as 3*Y. This allows us to substitute "X" with "3*Y" in our second equation since the two are equal according to the first equation.

(3*Y) + Y = 24.

3Y + Y = 24

4Y = 24

4Y / 4 = 24/4

Y = 6

Now we've got the value of the smaller number. Let's plug it into our first equation,

X = 3*Y.

X = 3*(6)

X = 18

We can check our work by plugging both values into both equations and seeing if they work out:

6+18 = 24  

6*3 = 18

So our bigger number is 18, and our smaller number is 6.

Hope it helps!

two triangles are similar, and the ratio of the corresponding sides is 1:5, and which of the following is true?

a. Their corresponding sides are congruent.

b. Their corresponding angles are in a ratio of 1:5

c. Their areas have a ratio of 1:5.

d. their perimeters are in a ratio of 1:5

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

d. their perimeters are in a ratio of 1:5

Explaination

A is untrue because the sides have the ratio of 1:5, explained in the quastion, so they are not equal/congruent.

B is untrue because the angles are the same in both triangles because the triangles are similar, mentioned in the question.

C is untrue because the ratio of area is squared to the ratio of the perimeter, so the actual areas would be 1:25.

The function f(x) = x is translated using the rule (x, y) - (x - 6, y + 9) to create A(x).
Which expression describes the range of A(x)?
Oy2-9
Oy6
Oy26
O y29

Answers

It seems the correct function you need to mention is f(x) = sqrt x

so, I am assuming [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}[/tex] and will solve the question based on it.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}[/tex]

As the function is translated according to the rule

(x, y) → (x - 6, y + 9)

Translation of the function [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x}[/tex] 6 units to the left will bring the function

[tex]g(x) = \sqrt{x+6}[/tex]

Translation of the function  [tex]g(x) = \sqrt{x+6}[/tex]  9 units up will bring the function

[tex]A\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x+6}+9[/tex]

Determining the range of [tex]A\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x+6}+9[/tex]

As we know that the range is the set of dependent values for which the function is defined.

[tex]\mathrm{The\:range\:of\:an\:radical\:function\:of\:the\:form}\:c\sqrt{ax+b}+k\:\mathrm{is}\:\:f\left(x\right)\ge \:k[/tex]

[tex]k=9[/tex]

[tex]f\left(x\right)\ge \:9[/tex]

so

[tex]\mathrm{Range\:of\:}\sqrt{x+6}+9:\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:f\left(x\right)\ge \:9\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:[9,\:\infty \:)\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression describes the range of A(x) will be:

[tex]f\left(x\right)\ge \:\:9\:or\:y\:\ge \:\:\:9[/tex]

Alan is building a fence around his fish pond. The fish pond is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 60 feet and a width of 40 feet. It took alan 16 hours to complete the fencing. What is the unit rate at which alan put fence around his fish pond

Answers

Answer:

12.50 ft per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fish pond has a rectangular shape.

Length of fish pond = 60 feet

Width of fish pond = 40 feet

Total time to complete the fencing = 16 hours

To find:

Unit rate of putting the fencing around the fish pond.

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the total fencing to be put around the fish pond.

Total fencing is nothing but the perimeter of the fish pond which is of rectangular shape.

Formula for perimeter of rectangular shape is given as:

[tex]Perimeter = 2\times (Length + Width)[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter = 2\times (60+40)\\\Rightarrow Perimeter = 200\ ft[/tex]

Unit rate is the perimeter divided by total time taken to put the fencing around.

Therefore,

Unit rate = [tex]\frac{200}{16} = \bold{12.5}[/tex] feet per hour

So, the answer is 12.5 feet per hour.
