A pair of ladders whose lengths are 4.2m and 5.6m are leaned onto a wall such that they reach the same height. The base of the longer ladder is 1.96 further away from the base of the wall then the base of the shorter ladder. The distance of the shorter ladder form the wall is:
Answer:
2.52 m
Step-by-step explanation:
let the height be h m.
let the shorter ladder be x m away from the base of wall.
(x+1.96)²+h²=5.6²
x²+h²=4.2²
subtract
(x+1.96)²-x²=5.6²-4.2²
(x+1.96+x)(x+1.96-x)=31.36-17.64
(2x+1.96)(1.96)=13.72
2x+1.96=13.72/1.96=7

C = 2 π r
A = π r²
~~~~~~~~~~~
(1). C = 8 π
Let the length of the arc ADB is "x"
x = ( 8π ÷ 360° ) × 340°
x = [tex]\frac{68}{9} \pi[/tex]
(2). A = 16 π
The area of shaded region is
( 16 π ÷ 360° ) × 340° = [tex]\frac{136}{9} \pi[/tex]
[tex]\bold{Answer} \downarrow[/tex]
[tex]Length\ of\ Arc\ ADB = \large\boxed{\frac{68\pi}{9} }[/tex]
[tex]Area\ of\ shaded\ region= \large\boxed{\frac{136\pi}{9} }[/tex]
Formulas needed:
[tex]Arc\ length=\boxed{2\pi r(\frac{\theta}{360} )}[/tex]
[tex]Area \ of\ a\ sector=\boxed{(\frac{n}{360})\times\pi \times r^2}[/tex]
[tex]Area\ of\ Circle=\boxed {\pi\times r^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's find the arc length:
[tex]Arc\ length=2\pi r(\frac{\theta}{360})[/tex]
[tex]=2\pi (4)(\frac{340}{360})[/tex]
[tex]=2\pi (4)(\frac{17}{18})[/tex]
[tex]=2\pi(\frac{68}{18})[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{136\pi }{18}[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \large\boxed{\frac{68\pi}{9} }[/tex]
Next, let's find the area of the sliver of the circle we just found the arc length of.
[tex]Area \ of\ a\ sector=(\frac{n}{360})\times\pi \times r^2[/tex]
[tex]=(\frac{20}{360} )\times \pi \times 4^2[/tex]
[tex]=(\frac{1}{18})\times \pi \times 16[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{16\pi}{18}[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \frac{8 \pi}{9}[/tex]
Finally, find the area of the entire circle and subtract the sliver area by that.
[tex]Area\ of\ Circle= {\pi\times r^2[/tex]
[tex]=\pi \times 4^2[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow16\pi[/tex]
Subtracting the area by the sliver.
[tex]Area\ of\ entire\ circle \ -\ Area\ of\ sliver\ of\ circle[/tex]
[tex]=16\pi -\frac{8\pi}{9}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{144\pi}{9} -\frac{8\pi }{9}[/tex]
[tex]\longrightarrow \large\boxed{\frac{136\pi}{9} }[/tex]

Find the maximum value of s = xy + yz + xz where x+y+z=9.
From the constraint, we have
[tex]x+y+z=9 \implies z = 9-x-y[/tex]
so that [tex]s[/tex] depends only on [tex]x,y[/tex].
[tex]s = g(x,y) = xy + y(9-x-y) + x(9-x-y) = 9y - y^2 + 9x - x^2 - xy[/tex]
Find the critical points of [tex]g[/tex].
[tex]\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x} = 9 - 2x - y = 0 \implies 2x + y = 9[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y} = 9 - 2y - x = 0[/tex]
Using the given constraint again, we have the condition
[tex]x+y+z = 2x+y \implies x=z[/tex]
so that
[tex]x = 9 - x - y \implies y = 9 - 2x[/tex]
and [tex]s[/tex] depends only on [tex]x[/tex].
[tex]s = h(x) = 9(9-2x) - (9-2x)^2 + 9x - x^2 - x(9-2x) = 18x - 3x^2[/tex]
Find the critical points of [tex]h[/tex].
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dx} = 18 - 6x = 0 \implies x=3[/tex]
It follows that [tex]y = 9-2\cdot3 = 3[/tex] and [tex]z=3[/tex], so the only critical point of [tex]s[/tex] is at (3, 3, 3).
Differentiate [tex]h[/tex] again and check the sign of the second derivative at the critical point.
[tex]\dfrac{d^2h}{dx^2} = -6 < 0[/tex]
for all [tex]x[/tex], which indicates a maximum.
We find that
[tex]\max\left\{xy+yz+xz \mid x+y+z=9\right\} = \boxed{27} \text{ at } (x,y,z) = (3,3,3)[/tex]
The second derivative at the critical point exists
[tex]$\frac{d^{2} h}{d x^{2}}=-6 < 0[/tex] for all x, which suggests a maximum.
How to find the maximum value?Given, the constraint, we have
x + y + z = 9
⇒ z = 9 - x - y
Let s depend only on x, y.
s = g(x, y)
= xy + y(9 - x - y) + x(9 - x - y)
= 9y - y² + 9x - x² - xy
To estimate the critical points of g.
[tex]$&\frac{\partial g}{\partial x}[/tex] = 9 - 2x - y = 0
[tex]$&\frac{\partial g}{\partial y}[/tex] = 9 - 2y - x = 0
Utilizing the given constraint again,
x + y + z = 2x + y
⇒ x = z
x = 9 - x - y
⇒ y = 9 - 2x, and s depends only on x.
s = h(x) = 9(9 - 2x) - (9 - 2x)² + 9x - x² - x(9 - 2x) = 18x - 3x²
To estimate the critical points of h.
[tex]$\frac{d h}{d x}=18-6 x=0[/tex]
⇒ x = 3
It pursues that y = 9 - 2 [tex]*[/tex] 3 = 3 and z = 3, so the only critical point of s exists at (3, 3, 3).
Differentiate h again and review the sign of the second derivative at the critical point.
[tex]$\frac{d^{2} h}{d x^{2}}=-6 < 0[/tex]
for all x, which suggests a maximum.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There's a Secant Theorem that someone else figured out (waaaay back in history) we just need to memorize it. So a secant is a line that touches the circle in two places. Your picture has two secants that both go thru the same point that's outside the circle. The secants each have a bit that's inside the circle and a bit that's outside the circle. And we could add together the inside and outside bits and get a total for the whole thing.
The secant theorem says that the outside piece × the whole thing on one secant = the outside piece × the whole thing on the other secant.
For the secant on top the "outside" bit is 9 and the whole thing is (2x+1+9). We'll times these together.
For the bottom secant the outside piece is 10 and the whole thing is (x+3+10). We'll multiply these together.
9(2x+1+9)=10(x+3+10)
simplify.
9(2x+10) = 10(x+13)
distribute.
18x + 90 = 101x + 130
combine like terms.
8x + 90 = 130
subtract 90
8x = 40

Find two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950.
Answer: 50 and 59
I divided 2950 by 25 because I knew it would somehow factor into that since it ends in 50. Then, I got 25 and 118. From there, I just divided 118 by 2 since I knew that it would end in a 9 and I multiplied 25 by 2.

Answer:
[tex]P(x) -0.1(x+1)(x-3)^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So you can express a polynomial in factored form, where each factor of the polynomial is being multiplied by each other to get the original polynomial as such: [tex]p(x) = a(x+a)(x+b)(x+c)...[/tex] notice the a in front? Sometimes the value is 1, sometimes it's not, and I'm assuming it's not 1, since the y-intercept is given.
Anyways, when we express a polynomial in factored form: [tex]p(x) = a(x+a)(x+b)(x+c)...[/tex], it's pretty easy to see that -a, -b, and -c are roots, since if we plug in -a, the factor (x+a) becomes (-a + a) = 0, and since the factors are being multiplied by each other, the value p(-a) will be 0, since 0 * some value = 0.
The next thing to know is what multiplicity means. It essentially means when you have the same root "multiple times", or in other words it's the degree of the factor. For example: [tex]f(x) = (x+a)^3(x+b)^2(x+c) = (x+a)(x+a)(x+a)(x+b)(x+b)(x+c)[/tex], if you took each factor, you would see that the root -a shows up 3 times, thus the multiplicity is 3, which can also be determined by just looking at the initial degree... 3. The same thing goes for b and c, except for c, the degree isn't explicitly said, it's just 1.
Since we have a zero at x=3 one of the factors will be (x-3) since plugging in 3 to this makes it 0. But this has a multiplicity of 2, so the degree of the this factor is 2. So for we have the polynomial: [tex]p(x) = (x-3)^2[/tex]
Since we have a zero at x=-1, one of the factors will be at (x+1), since plugging in 1 into this makes the value 0. This has a multiplicity of 1, and you can write the degree 1, but if you don't explicitly write it, it can just be assumed to be 1, since a^1=a
So now we have the polynomial: [tex]p(x) = (x+1)(x-3)^2[/tex]
So let's just assume we have an "a" value in front as mentioned in the very beginning, we have the polynomial: [tex]p(x) = a(x+1)(x-3)^2[/tex] and we can solve for this value, using any point except for the zeroes. We can use the y-intercept given to solve for a
Plug in 0 as x (by definition of y-intercept) and set p(x) = -0.9
[tex]-0.9 = a(0+1)(0-3)^2[/tex]
Subtract/add values
[tex]-0.9 = a(1)(-3)^2[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]-0.9 = 9a[/tex]
Divide both sides by 9
-0.1 = a
So now let's plug this into our polynomial to get the final result!

what is Z in the rhombus?
Answer: 27°
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to find the measure of angle Z is to know that in a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other. This means that all the four angles in the center are 90°.
Since we know that all angles in a triangle add up to 180°, we can set the sum of z, 63, and 90 to be 180 and solve for z.
[tex]z+63+90=180\\z+153=180\\z=27[/tex]

In which:
d is the intensity of the sound in decibels.p is the intensity of the sound.[tex]p_0[/tex] is the weakest sound that the human ear can hear.In this problem, we have that d = 20, and we have to solve the logarithmic equation for p to find how many times more intense the sound is:

Can u guys please give me the correct answer
Answer:
∠ 3 = 65°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ 2 and 115° are a linear pair and sum to 180° , that is
∠ 2 + 115° = 180° ( subtract 115° from both sides )
∠ 2 = 65°
∠ 2 and ∠ 3 are corresponding angles and and are congruent , then
∠ 3 = 65°

Berkley is flying a kite. The string is all the way out, which means it is 425 meters away. Berkley is looking up at the kite at an angle of 42°. Berkley's dog is watching the kite too and the angle from Berkley to the dog to the kite is 87°. How would you find the distance between the kite and the dog? Is it possible? Explain your answer using the law of sines.
Using the law of sines, it is found that the distance between the kite and the dog is of 284.77 meters.
What is the law of sines?Suppose we have a triangle in which:
The length of the side opposite to angle A is a.The length of the side opposite to angle B is b.The length of the side opposite to angle C is c.The lengths and the sine of the angles are related as follows:
[tex]\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{B}}{b} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c}[/tex]
For the situation described, we have that:
The height is opposite to the angle of 42º.The 425 meters are opposite to the angle of 87º.Hence:
[tex]\frac{\sin{42^\circ}}{h} = \frac{\sin{87^\circ}}{425}[/tex]
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]h = 425\frac{\sin{42^\circ}}{\sin{87^\circ}}[/tex]
h = 284.77 meters.
