A tree casts a shadow 7.5 feet long at the same time that a 5 foot tall woman casts a shadow 3 feet long. How tall is the tree?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The tree is 12.5ft Step-by-step explanation: 1.  TREE'S HEIGHT over TREE'S SHADOW equals WOMAN'S HEIGHT over WOMAN'S SHADOW

2.  TREE'S HEIGHT over WOMAN'S HEIGHT equals TREE'S SHADOW over WOMAN'S SHADOW

or some other ways as long as you pair them up by 'height', or pair them up by

'shadow'.  {But don't get them criss-crossed)

Let TREE's HEIGHT = t.

A tree casts a shadow 7.5 ft long

TREE'S SHADOW = 7.5

at the same time that

a woman 5 ft tall

WOMAN'S HEIGHT = 5

casts a shadow 3 ft long.

WOMAN'S SHADOW = 3

So if you use

1.  TREE'S HEIGHT over TREE'S SHADOW equals WOMAN'S HEIGHT over WOMAN'S SHADOW

cross-multiply:

3t = 37.5

 t = 12.5

or if you use

2.cross-multiply

3t = 37.5

 t = 12.5

Either way, the tree is 12.5 feet tall.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (6, -7)

Answers

Equation of a line is y=mx+c
m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

gradient = change in y / change in x
so it would be -7-5 divided by 6 - -6 = -12/12 = -1

the equation is now y = -x+c

now to find the y intercept you substitute one of the given coordinates into the equation we already have
(6,-7) —> -7= -(-7) + c
= -7 = 7 + c
= c = -14

we put that back into the equation to get line
y = -x - 14

Adam would like to buy a used car, and collected several data to evaluate the best model (such as age, price, weight, etc.) Thanks to a scatterplot, he established that the relation between age and weight is somewhat linear. He calculated that the correlation between age and weight is 0.512. Describe the association.

Answers

Answer: There is a strong association between age and weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient (r) is used to describe the relationship between two variables.

[tex]-1\leq r\leq1[/tex]

If r lies between -1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1, then there is strong association between them.

Here,  Variables: Age and weight.

correlation coefficient = 0.512

That means, there is a strong association between age and weight.

Which of the following could be points on the unit circle?
A. ( 5/13, 12/13)
B. (6/7, pi13/ 7)
C. (1/3, 2/3)
D. (4/3, 4/5)​

Answers

Answer:

Points A and C are on the unit circle

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit circle is a circle of radius 1, that is, all the points that are inside the circle have the sum of the squares of its coordinates that are at most 1. Here, we have to test this for each option.

In options B and D, the coordinates 13/7 and 4/3, respectively, means that this sum will be larger than 1, and this points will not be on the unit circle. Now we text for options A and C.

A. ( 5/13, 12/13)

[tex]\sqrt{(\frac{5}{13})^2+(\frac{12}{13})^2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{169}}+\sqrt{\frac{144}{169}} = \sqrt{\frac{169}{169}} = \sqrt{1} = 1[/tex]

Since the sum of the squares is 1, the point is on the unit circle.

C. (1/3, 2/3)

[tex]\sqrt{(\frac{1}{3})^2+(\frac{2}{3})^2} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{9}}+\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}[/tex]

Since the sum of the squares is less than 1, the point is on the unit circle.

Answer:

  (a) -(x+7)/y

  (b) (x+7)/-y

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.

The given expression with -1 factored out is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{-x-7}{y}=\dfrac{1(x+7)}{y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}} \quad\text{matches A}[/tex]

Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{x+7}{-y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}}[/tex]

On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

  [tex]\dfrac{-x-7}{-y}=\dfrac{-(x+7)}{-(y)}=\dfrac{x+7}{y} \qquad\text{opposite the given expression}[/tex]

__

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).

  Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

  (c) (-x-7)/(-y) = (x/y) +(7/y) . . . . not the same.

__

Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.

  a(b+c) = ab +ac

  -a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)

  -a/(-b) = a/b

__

Summary: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

_____

Additional comments

Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...

  [tex]\left(\dfrac{-x-7}{y}\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+7}{-y}\right)=\dfrac{-y(-x-7)-y(x+7)}{-y^2}\\\\=\dfrac{xy+7y-xy-7y}{-y^2}=\dfrac{0}{-y^2}=0[/tex]

Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.

The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.

(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given

(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given

(c) evaluates to (-1-7)/-2 = 4, different from given

An airplane 30,100 feet above the ground begins descending at the rate of 2150 feet per minute. Write and solve a linear equation to find how long it will take the plane to reach the ground.

Answers

Answer:

14 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a linear equation that represents an airplane flying at an altitude of 30,100 feet, descending 2,150 feet per minute, that represents how long it will take for the airplane to touch down, proceed as follows:

2,150X = 30,100

X = 30,100 / 2,150

X = 14

Thus, the plane will take 14 minutes to reach the ground, descending 2,150 feet per minute from 30,100 feet.
