Answer:

PC = 40/7 = 5.714 m

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the solution can be found by using similarity of triangles.

ii) therefore we can see that $\frac{PC}{8} = \frac{5}{7}$

iii) therefore PC = 40 / 7 = 5.714 m

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = $\frac{7-7}{3-(-2)} =\frac{0}{5} =0$ . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.

B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.

Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.

C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = $\frac{5-(-7)}{0-0} =\frac{12}{0}$ = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.

D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.

So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Hope this helps!

Ludmilka [50]

If you would like to know how many people are going to Langdale, you can calculate this using the following steps:

18 people
half of them: 18/2 = 9 people

Result: 9 people are going to Langdale.

A car manufacturer is reducing the number of incidents with the transmission by issuing a voluntary recall. During week 10 of th

Digiron [165]

Answer:

f(x) = -5x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- In week 10 the manufacturer fixed 200 cars

- In week 15, the manufacturer fixed 175 cars

- the reduction in the number of cars each week is linear

- The form of the linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the slope of

the line which represent the equation and c is the y-intercept

- The slope of the line m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

where (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are two points on the line

* Lets solve the problem

- Assume that the weeks' number is x and the cars' number is y

∴ (10 , 200) and (15 , 175) are two points on the line which represent

the linear equation between the cars' numbers and the weeks

numbers

∵ Point (x1 , y1) is (10 , 200) and point (x2 , y2) is (15 , 175)

∴ x1 = 10 , x2 = 15 and y1 = 200 and y2 = 175

- Use the rule of the slope above to find m

∴ $m=\frac{175-200}{15-10}=\frac{-25}{5}=-5$

- Substitute the value of x in the form of the linear equation above

∴ y = -5x + c

- To find c substitute x and y by one the coordinates of one of the

two points

∵ x = 10 when y = 200

∴ 200 = -5(10) + c

∴ 200 = -50 + c

- Add 50 to both sides

∴ 250 = c

- Substitute the value of c by 250

∴ y = -5x + 250, where the number of cars seen each week is y and

x is the number of the week

∵ f(x) = y

∴ f(x) = -5x + 250

The average blood alcohol concentration (bac) of eight male subjects was measured after consumption of 15 ml of ethanol (corresp

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

After 5 minutes, the BAC was increasing at the rate of 0.0137 mg/mL a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average blood alcohol concentration (bac) is modeled by the following function.

$c(t) = 0.0225te^{-0.0467t}$

In which t is measured in minuted.

How rapidly was the BAC increasing after 5 minutes?

This is c'(t) when t = 5.

Using the derivative of the product.

Derivative of the product:

$c(t) = f(t)*g(t)$

$c'(t) = f'(t)*g(t) + f(t)*g'(t)$

In which problem:

$f(t) = 0.0225t$

$g(t) = e^{-0.0467t}$

$c'(t) = 0.0225e^{-0.0467t} - 0.0225*0.0467*te^{-0.0467t}$

$c'(5) = 0.0225e^{-0.0467*5} - 0.0225*0.0467*5e^{-0.0467*5} = 0.0137$

After 5 minutes, the BAC was increasing at the rate of 0.0137 mg/mL a minute.
