A lamppost is 6 feet high and casts and 8 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a flagpole near the lamppost cast a 20 foot shadow. Using the properties of similar triangles, find the height, H, of the flagpole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.

We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

[tex]\frac{6}{8} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]

we can cross multiply and get:

8x=120

solve for x:

x=15

Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

  −15x / -15 ≥ 4 /- 15   multiplying by a negative number reverses the sign.

probably quicker to just plug the numbers in. Any negative input will immediately create a false statement.

Write five other iterated integrals that are equal to the given iterated integral. 8 0 x2 0 y f(x, y, z) dz dy dx 0

Answers

An iterated integral is the outcome of taking integrals toward a function of more than one variable in such a way that part of the variables is treated as constants for each of the integrals.

From the given parameters, we are to write out five iterations for a triple integral;

[tex]\mathbf{\int ^8_0\ \int^{x^2}_{0} \ \int^y_0 \ \ f(x, y, z) \ dz dy dx }[/tex]

where;

the region is bounded by 0 ≤ z ≤ y, 0 ≤ y ≤ x², 0 ≤ x ≤ 8.

Thus, since x, y, z are functions of at least one variable, we can have the following iterations:

[tex]\mathbf{\int^{64}_{0} \ \int^{8}_{\sqrt{y}} \ \int^{y}_{0} \ \ f(x,y,z) dz dxdy}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\int^{64}_{0} \ \int^{y}_{0} \ \int^{8}_{\sqrt{y}} \ \ f(x,y,z)\ dxdzdy}[/tex]  

[tex]\mathbf{\int^{64}_{0} \ \int^{64}_{z} \ \int^{8}_{\sqrt{y}} \ \ f(x,y,z)\ dxdydz}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\int^{8}_{0} \ \int^{x^2}_{0} \ \int^{x^2}_{z} \ \ f(x,y,z)\ dydzdx}[/tex]

Three times the sum of a number and 7 is equivalent to 57.

Answers

Answer:

3(x+7)=57

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is being multiplied by "the sum of a number(or x) and 7". So, we write it as 3(x+7). That is equal to 57, so that makes the expression 3(x+7)=57.

-hope it helps

Equivalent expressions are expressions that have the same values.

The expression is [tex]3(x + 7) = 57[/tex] and the number is 12

Represent the number with x.

So, the sum of a number (x) and 7 would be represented as: x + 7

Three times the sum would be represented as: 3(x + 7)

This expression is equivalent to 57.

So, we have:

[tex]3(x + 7) = 57[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 57

[tex]x + 7 = 19[/tex]

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

[tex]x + 7 - 7 = 19 - 7[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

Hence, the number is 12

The graph for x < 2 is the line y = -5x +2. It has a y-intercept of 2 (point (0, 2)) and a slope (rise/run) of -5. The line ends with an open circle at (2, -8).

The graph for x ≥ 2 is the line y = 2x -2. It has a slope of 2 and ends with a solid dot at the point (2, 2). Another point on that line will be 2 units right and 4 units up, at (4, 6).

You can plot the points described here and draw rays through them to form the graph. A graph is attached.

description

The function is a piecewise linear function with a jump discontinuity at x=2. The portion left of x=2 has a slope of -5 and ends with an open circle at (2, -8). The portion right of x=2 has a slope of +2 and starts with a solid dot at (2, 2).

Its domain is all real numbers. Its range is all y-values greater than -8.
