The correct answer is Choice A.
If you plot the points on a graph, you will see that there is a slope of -1 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).
This matches the equation of y = -x + 3 in Choice A.
In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.
Let's say that children = c and adults = a
30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960
I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.
a + c = 960
- c - c
---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
a = 960 - c
20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 8c = 19,080
- 19,200 - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
8c = -120 into the opposite equation.
------ ---------
8 8
c = -15
30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
30a - 180 = 19,080
+ 180 + 180
-------------------------------
30a = 19,260
------- -----------
30 30
a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.
Answer: the length of the extended ladder is 8√3 feet or 13.9 feet
the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder is 4√3 feet or 6.9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
To determine the extended length of the ladder h, we would apply
the Sine trigonometric ratio.
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Sin 60 = 12/h
√3/2 = 12/h
h = 12 × 2/√3 = 24√3
h = 24√3 × √3/√3
h = 8√3
To determine the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder d, we would apply
the cosine trigonometric ratio.
Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse.
Therefore,
Cos 60 = d/8√3
0.5 = d/8√3
d = 0.5 × 8√3
d = 4√3
To graph the function g(x) = (x<span> – 5)</span>2<span> – 9, shift the graph of </span>f(x<span>) = </span>x2 <span>✔ right
</span><span> 5 units and </span><span>✔ down</span><span> 9 units.</span>
The correct answer for the given problem above would be the fourth triangle. So here is the given solution: Since Triangle 1 is already given with a measurement of 50 inches, and 80% of 50 inches if 40. Triangle 2 then is 40 inches. 80% of 40 is 32, so triangle 3 is 32 inches, and then 80% of 32 is 25.6 inches so triangle 4 is 25.6 inches. Therefore, the triangle that will first have a side length of less than 29 inches is triangle 4.
