You want to build a skateboard ramp that is 12 feet long and reaches a
height of 3 feet. What is the angle of elevation of the ramp? Round your
answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14.0362 degrees (round to 14.0 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assume that the math can be deduced by the sides of a triangle due to the "sightline" nature of the problem. This is a classic trig problem you will see.

2. The base of the triangle would be 12 feet and one of the legs of the triangle will be 3 feet.

3. Arctangent will provide the angle of elevation. The equation can be written as arctan(h/b), in this case h = height and b = base.

4. The calculation will be arctan(3/12) which translates to 14 degrees which is, fortunately, the angle of elevation.

I recommend trying this method out with another example such as the angle of elevation between you and the next plane you see in the sky. For example, the height difference between you and the plane is 7 miles and the plane is x miles away. Again we can create a simple triangle to discover many interesting details.

The table below has select values showing the linear relationship between t and D. Determine how long Sofia has been driving the moment she was 157.5 miles away from City A.

Answers

Answer:

3.5 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I do not know what measurement or timelapse you're looking for. But this should be the answer to it, no I don't have an explanation though.

The distance between the city and the house is 260 miles.

What is an equation?

A mathematical statement that has a "equal to" symbol between two expressions with equal values is called an equation. as in 3x + 5 = 15, for instance. There are different types of equations like linear, quadratic, cubic, etc.

t              d

1             195

2            130

2.5         97.5

The distance will be calculated by the equation of the line,

y = mx + c

m = ( 130 - 195 ) / ( 2 - 1 )

m = -65

y = -65x + c

195 = -65 + c

c = 260miles

Hence, the distance will be 260 miles.

Are the expressions 4a+(5a+3c) and (4a+5a)+3c equivalent? If so, determine what property can be applied to determine that they are equivalent.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, they are equivalent expressions, by the Associative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of these expressions are equal to:

4a + 5a + 3c

(and then, 9a + 3c)

This is all adding so you can add them all up without any of the parentheses. In the question at first the parentheses are grouping together the 5a and 3c, but in the second expression they are wrapped around the 4a and 5a. But in both expressions the order of the three terms does not change. Only the grouping changes. The terms are grouped differently, but the order DOES NOT change. This is Associative property. If the order changes it is Commutative property.

Consider the equation y = 3x - 1
Identify the slope and y-intercept and
sketch the graph.

Answers

Given :-

A equation y = 3x -1 .

To Do :-

To identify slope and y intercept and then sketch it's graph .

Solution :-

Given equation to us is ,

→ y = 3x -1

As we know that , the slope intercept form of the line is ,

→ y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y intercept .On comparing both , we have ,

slope = 3 y intercept = -1 .

So the graph will cut the y axis at (0,-1) . And will have a slope of 3 .

When y coordinate is 0 ,

say the point is (x,0) .

So that ,

→ x - 0 / 0 -(-1) = 3

→ x/0+1 = 3

→ x/1 = 3

x = 3

Hence one other point is (3,0 ).

Now we may plot the graph using these two points (3,0) and (0,-1) .

A television is on sale for $75 off,
The price of the television with the sale is $300,
If you use the equation n - 75 = 300 to solve this problem, what does n represent?

Answers

The term n is the initial amount that the television is to be sold.

What is the meaning of n?

We are told that the television in this case is to be sold at a discount piece. The implication of this is that there is something that has to be removed from the price of the television as it is sold.

We are told that what they are to remove from the price of the television is about $75  and that when this is done, the price of the television would be about $300. Thus n is the original price of the television.

#SPJ1

The variable n represents the initial value of the television

How to interpret the variable n

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Amount off = $75

New price = $300

When represented as the equation, we have

n - 75 = 300

Add 75 to both sides of the equation

So, we have the following representation

n = 375

6) Write the equation, g(x), that is 9 units below f(x) = 3^X+ 2.

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = 3^x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exponential function like this, the constant at the end of the function represents the vertical shift. This means that the original function is shifted 2 units up. So, 9 units lower than +2 is -7. Thus, the new function, g(x), is g(x)=3^x - 7.
We can prove that g(x) is 9 units lower through y-intercepts. The function f(x) has a y-intercept of 3 and g(x) is -6. Since -6 is 9 lower than 3, we know that there is a 9 unit difference between the functions.

George decided to accept a 20% drop in his salary during 2020.By what percentage must George's salary increase to get back to where it was before the salary drop during 2020​

Answers

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let George's salary = $50,000 per year

If his salary dropped by 20%, then his salary would be 80% of his previous salary (as 100% - 20% = 80%).

Convert 80% to a decimal: 80% = 80/100 = 0.8

Therefore, 80% of 50000 = 0.8 x 50000 = $40,000

We wish to increase his salary back to the original amount of $50,000.

The difference between the two salaries is : 50000 - 40000 = 10000

Therefore, we need to calculate the percentage that $10,000 is of $40,000.

⇒ (10000 / 40000) x 100 = 25%

So George's salary needs to increase by 25% to get back to where it was before the salary drop.

What are the first five terms of the recursive sequence?

Answers

Answer: Choice A

9, 30, 93, 282, 849

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

Explanation:

The first term is 9 because of the notation [tex]a_1 = 9[/tex]

To get the second term, we use the recursive rule given to us which is

[tex]a_n = 3a_{n-1} + 3[/tex]

I recommend using parenthesis to separate things like this

[tex]a_n = 3(a_{n-1}) + 3[/tex]

If n = 2, then,

[tex]a_n = 3(a_{n-1}) + 3\\\\a_2 = 3(a_{2-1}) + 3\\\\a_2 = 3(a_{1}) + 3\\\\a_2 = 3(9) + 3\\\\a_2 = 27 + 3\\\\a_2 = 30[/tex]

The second term is 30.

You can use the same idea as above to find the third term, or you can use this slightly different approach

[tex]\text{third term} = 3*(\text{second term}) + 3\\\\\text{third term} = 3*(30) + 3\\\\\text{third term} = 90 + 3\\\\\text{third term} = 93[/tex]

To generate any new term, we first triple the previous term and then add on 3.

How many 6-digit whole numbers have the digits 2, 0, 2, and 2 as a 4-digit consecutively ordered block with no other digits between them?

Answers

There are 1680 digits 2, 0, 2, and 2 as a 4-digit consecutively ordered block with no other digits between them

How to determine the selection

To determine the number of whole numbers, the following must be true

Case 1: If the sequence starts from the first digit

The first digit can be any of the three 2's (i.e. 3 digits)The second digit can only be 0The third digit can be any of the remaining 2's (i.e. 2 digits)The fourth digit can only be the last 2 (i.e. 1 digit)The fifth digit can be any of 0 - 9 (i.e. 10 digits)The sixth digit can be any of 0 - 9 (i.e. 10 digits)

So, we have:

[tex]Case\ 1 = 3 * 1 * 2 * 1 * 10 * 10[/tex]

[tex]Case\ 1 = 600[/tex]

Case 2: If the sequence starts from the second digit

The first digit can be any of 1 - 9 (i.e. 9 digits)The second digit can be any of the three 2's (i.e. 3 digits)The third digit can only be 0The fourth digit can be any of the remaining 2's (i.e. 2 digits)The fifth digit can only be the last 2 (i.e. 1 digit)The last digit can be any of 0 - 9 (i.e. 10 digits)

So, we have:

[tex]Case\ 2 = 9 * 3 * 1 * 2 * 1 * 10[/tex]

[tex]Case\ 2 = 540[/tex]

Case 2: If the sequence starts from the third digit

The first digit can be any of 1 - 9 (i.e. 9 digits)The second digit can be any of 0 - 9 (i.e. 10 digits)The third digit can be any of the three 2's (i.e. 3 digits)The fourth digit can only be 0The fifth digit can be any of the remaining 2's (i.e. 2 digits)The last digit can only be the last 2 (i.e. 1 digit)

So, we have:

[tex]Case\ 3 = 9 * 10 * 3 * 1 * 2 * 1[/tex]

[tex]Case\ 3 = 540[/tex]

The total number of whole numbers is:

[tex]Total = 600 + 540 + 540[/tex]

Marcia bought a 500 g packet of flour. She used some flour to bake a cake, and she used two thirds of the remaining flour to make some scones. She used 60 g more flour for the cake than for the scones. How much flour did Marcia use for the cake?​

Answers

Answer:

The answer should be 236g.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the amount of flour used for the cake as 'x,' the flour used to make the scones would be (500-x)×2/3 as 2/3 of the remaining is used for the scones.

We know that 60g more flour is used for the cake.

So,

x-60=(500-x)×2/3

Cross multiply, and brng the 3 to the other side.

3(x-60)=(500-x)2

3x-180=1000-2x

Bring the x-terms to one side and the numbers to one side.

3x+2x=1000+180

5x=1180

Divide both sides by 5 to find x(the amount of flour used to make the cake)

Therefore,

x=236g
