Answer:

48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance of rod from the wall = 45 cm

Distance of rod from the light = 15 cm

Length of rod = 12 cm

We can see that <DAM and <BAF are equal

Also, <DMA and <BFM are equal because they are corresponding angles

To find the length of the shadow, let's take the equation

$\frac{DM}{BF} = \frac{AM}{A.F}$

Where.:

DM = ½ of length of the rod = ½*12 = 6

A.F = 15 + 45 = 60 cm

AM = 15 cm

Therefore,

$\frac{DM}{BF} = \frac{AM}{A.F}$

$= \frac{6}{BF} = \frac{15}{60}$

Cross multiplying, we have:

15 * B.F = 60 * 6

15 * B.F = 360

$BF = \frac{360}{15}$

BF = 24 cm

The shadow on the wall =

2 * BF

= 2 * 24

= 48 cm

The shadow on the wall is 48 cm

Answer: g(x) is the image of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

multiplying the x value by -1 means you reflect that point across y-axis, therefore, g(x) is the reflection of f(x) across y-axis.

Carl bought some stock at $25 a share it increased 1 1/2 times its value. How much is the stock per share ?

jolli1 [7]

Answer: $37.50 per share

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the difference in the final price and the original price. Divide by the original price and multiply by 100.

37.5-25= 12.5

12.5/25= .50

.50*100= 50%

The other answers are $12.50 per share, and

The new stock is worth $37.50 per share.

Consider the vibrating system described by the initial value problem. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) u'' + u = 8 co

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

u(t) = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic equation is k²+1 = 0,⇒k²=−1,⇒ k=±i.

the roots are k = i or -i

the solution has the form u(x)=C₁cosx+C₂sinx.

Using undetermined coefficient method

Uc(t) = Pcos wt + Qsin wt

Uc’(t) = -Pwsin wt + Qwcos wt

Uc’’(t) = -Pw^2cos wt - Qw^2sin wt

U’’ + u = 8cos wt

-Pw^2cos wt - Qw^2sin wt + Pcos wt + Qsin wt = 8cos wt

(-Pw^2 + P) cos wt + (- Qw^2 + Q ) sin wt = 8cos wt

-Pw^2 + P = 8 which implies P= 8 /(1- w^2)

- Qw^2 + Q = 8 which implies Q = 0

Uc(t) = Pcos wt + Qsin wt = 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

U(t) = uh(t ) + Uc(t)

= C1cos t + c2 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)

Initial value problem

U(0) = C1cos(0) + c2 sin (0) + 8 cos (0) /(1- w^2)

C1 + 8 /(1- w^2) = 5

C1 = 5 -8 /(1- w^2) = -(3 + w^2 ) /(1- w^2)

U’(t) = -C1 sin t + c2 cos t - 8 w sin wt /(1- w^2)

U’(0) = -C1 sin (0) + c2 cos (0) - 8 w sin (0) /(1- w^2) = 7

c2 = 7

u(t) = -(3 + w^2 ) cos t /(1- w^2)cos t + 7 sin t + 8 cos wt /(1- w^2)
