What is AD?

A. 15

B. 12

C. 3

D. 20

Answers

Answer:

A. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to compare the lengths given to you in the question statement.

Because the lines originate from a single point, they're like triangles.  We can easily see a triangle AGF and a triangle ADE, right?

Both triangles are similar triangles, so we can see triangle ADE as a larger version of angle AGF.

They give you the dimension of A F and A E (through A F + F E) to establish a ratio... and they give you A G, asking for A D.

So, A F = 16, A E = 20 (16 + 4), A G = 12.

Since A D is to A G what A E is to A F, we can easily make the following cross-multiplication:

[tex]\frac{A D}{A G} = \frac{A E}{A F}[/tex]

So, A D = (A G * A E)/A F

A D = (12 * 20) / 16 = 15

Answers

Answer:   [tex]x=-12.8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]\frac{5x}{8}+10=2[/tex], you need to solve for "x":

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

 [tex]\frac{5x}{8}+10-10=2-10[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{5x}{8}=-8[/tex]

Apply the Multiplication property of equality and multiply  both sides of the equation by 8:

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the circular region

The area of the circle is equal to

[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=7\ mi[/tex]

assume

[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]

step 2

Find the number of people who live in the region

Multiply the area by the density

so

[tex]A=153.86*(2,200)=338,492\ people[/tex]

Round to the nearest ten thousand

[tex]338,492=340,000\ people[/tex]

The number of people who live in the region to the nearest ten thousand is 340,000.

What is the number of people living in the region?

Population density is the amount of organisms that live in a square feet of an area.

Which number line represents the solution set for the inWhich number line represents the solution set for the inequality –x ≥ 4?equality –x ≥ 4?

Answers

Final answer:

The solution set for the inequality –x ≥ 4 is x ≤ – 4, which includes all numbers less than or equal to – 4. This would be represented on a number line with a solid dot at – 4 and shading to the left.

Explanation:

The question pertains to solving the inequality –x ≥ 4 and representing the solution on a number line. To solve for x, we first multiply both sides by – 1, remembering to reverse the inequality sign since multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality:

–x ≥ 4

( – 1)( –x) ≤ ( – 1)(4)

x ≤ – 4

This means that x is less than or equal to – 4. On the number line, the solution set for x includes all numbers to the left of – 4, including – 4 itself. To represent this graphically, one would draw a solid dot at – 4 and shade all the region to the left of – 4, indicating all those numbers are included in the solution set.

Camp Ground A has an area of 300 square yards with a maximum capacity of 25 pup tents. Camp Ground B has an area of 480 square yards and requires that each of its pup tents occupies the same area as each pup tent in Camp Ground A. What is the maximum number of pup tents that can occupy Camp Ground B? In two or more sentences, explain your calculations and conclusions.

Answers

Answer:

40 pup tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Ground A has area 300 and maximum capacity is 25 tents, so each tent would take up area of  300/25 = 12 sq yards.

Since Ground B's tents should occupy same area as Ground A's tents (12 sq. yards), the maximum capacity of this tent (480 sq yd) would be:

480/12 = 40 pup tents

This is the maximum capacity.

if f(x)= x-3/x , g(x)=x+3 , and h(x)=2x+1 , what is (g*h*f)(x) ?

A: 3x-6/x

B: 6x-6/x

C: 2x+4/2x+7

D: 4x-3/x

Answers

Answer:

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find g(h(f(x))

We first find h(f(x))

f(x) = x-3/x

Putting value of f(x) in place of x in h(x)

h(x) = 2x+1

h(f(x)) = 2(x-3/x) + 1

         = 2(x-3/x) + 1

         = 2x -6 /x +1

         = 2x-6 +x/x

         = 3x-6/x

Now, putting value of h(f(x)) in g(x)

g(x) = x+3

g(h(f(x)))= (3x-6/x) + 3

            = 3x-6/x + 3

            = 3x-6+3x/x

            = 6x-6/x

the population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Ellmore. the combined population of both towns is 9,646 people. what is the population of Linton?​

Answers

Answer:

8904

Step-y-step explanation:

Answer:

The population of Linton is 8,904.

Step-by-step explanation:

To start out, they give you a ratio of 12:1, adding all the parts to get a whole would make this ratio 13:1.

Now, since the whole is 13, this means that 13 = 9,646 people.

Next we want to divide 9,646 by 13, this gives us 742.

X = 742

12x = 12 * 742 = 8,904

Trenton is building a skateboarding ramp in the shape of a triangular prism. According to his plan, the ramp would have a base of 2 feet, a height of 1.5 feet, and a length of 3 feet. The riding surface would measure 2.5 feet.   If Trenton wants to cover all faces of the ramp with plywood, how much plywood will he need to buy?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 21 square feet of plywood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Trenton needs 21 square feet of plywood to cover all the surface of the ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Base is 2 feet long.Height is 1.5 feet long.Length is 3 feet long.The riding surface is 2.5 feet long.

Notice that the ramp is formed by two triangles and three rectangles.

Each triangle has a base of 2 feet and a height of 1.5 feet. So, the area of each triangle is

[tex]A_{triangle}=\frac{bh}{2}=\frac{2(1.5)}{2}=1.5ft^{2}[/tex]

The base of the ramp has dimensions of 3 feet x 2 feet. Its are is

[tex]A_{base}=3(2)=6ft^{2}[/tex]

The back of the ram has an area of

[tex]A_{back}=1.5(3)=4.5 ft^{2}[/tex]

The riding surface is

[tex]A_{riding}=3(2.5)= 7.5ft^{2}[/tex]

So, basically, to know the total surface, we just have to sum the are of both triangles, and the area of all three rectangles, as follows

[tex]S=1.5+1.5+6+4.5+7.5=21ft^{2}[/tex]

This means that Trenton needs 21 square feet of plywood to cover all the surface of the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/4=0.5

BC gradient is 2

AB (3,2)

AC (1,1)

DE gradient is 1/2=0.5

same gradients

parallel line have the same gradients

DE=0.5

BC=0.5

D has coordinate (3,2) and E has coordinate (1,1)

Gradient of DE = (2 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 0.5

Gradient of BC = (-2 - -4)/(3 - 1) = 0.5

BC and DE have the same gradient so they are parallel.  

To prove that DE is parallel to BC, we need to show that their slopes are equal. Let's start with finding the midpoints D and E:

Midpoint D: The coordinates of D are the averages of the coordinates of A and B.A = (4, 6)B = (2, -2)D = ((4+2)/2 ,  (6+(-2))/2) => (3, 2)Midpoint E: The coordinates of E are the averages of the coordinates of A and C.A = (4, 6)C = (-2, -4)E = ( ( 4 + (-2) )/2 =  ( 6 + (-4) ) /2) = (1, 1)Step-by-step explanation:Slope of BC: The slope of line BC is calculated as follows:(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-4 - (-2)) / (-2 - 2) = (-4 + 2) / (-4) = -2 / -4 = 1/2Slope of DE: The slope of line DE is calculated as follows:(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (1 - 2) / (1 - 3) =  (-1) / (-2) = 1/2Since the slope of DE is equal to the slope of BC (both are 1/2), we can conclude that DE is parallel to BC.

Which of the following equations fits this graph?

Answers

A. down

The -4 moves the y-intercept down from the origin to -4

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where the slope is "m" and the intersection of the line with the y-axis is "b".

Given the function f(x) in the form [tex]f(x)=x[/tex], you can identify that:

[tex]m=1\\b=0[/tex]

This means that the line passes through the origin (0,0)

And from the function g(x) in the form [tex]g(x)=x-4[/tex], , you can identify that:

[tex]m=1\\b=-4[/tex]

This means that the line of the function g(x) and the line of the function f(x) have the same slope, but the line of g(x) passes through the point (0,-4)

Therefore, the graph of f(x) must be shifted 4 units down to produce the graph of g(x)

Hello!

The answer is:

D. The parabola intercepts the x-axis in two points.

[tex]x_{1}=-0.59\\\\x_{2}=-3.41[/tex]

Why?

To find the parabola intercepts, we need to use the quadratic formula. The parabola intercepts with the x-axis, are also called roots or zeroes.

The quadratic formula states that:

[tex]x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]

We are given the parabola:

[tex]16x+8=-4x^{2} \\[/tex]

Which is also equal to:

[tex]4x^{2}+16x+8=0[/tex]

Where,

[tex]a=4\\b=16\\c=8\\[/tex]

Then, substituting into the quadratic formula to find the roots of the parabola, we have:

[tex]x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}\\\\x=\frac{-16+-\sqrt{(16)^{2}-4*4*8 } }{2*4}=\frac{-16+-\sqrt{(256-128) } }{8}\\\\x==\frac{-16+-\sqrt{(256-128) } }{8}=\frac{-16+-\sqrt{(28 } }{8}\\\\x=\frac{-16+-\sqrt{128 } }{8}=\frac{-16+-(11.31) }{8}\\\\\\x_{1}=\frac{-16+(11.31) }{8}=-0.59\\\\x_{1}=\frac{-16-(11.31) }{8}=-3.41[/tex]

Hence,the parabola intercepts the x-axis in two points.

[tex]x_{1}=-0.59\\\\x_{2}=-3.41[/tex]

9 inches of ribbons are needed for wrapping each present. How many presents can be wrapped with 6 yards of ribbons?

Answers

Answer:

24 presents.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I did 36 multiplied by 6 and got 216. Then i divided 216 by 9 and got 24.

Answer: with 6 yards of ribbons we can wrap 24 presents.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each 9 inches of ribbons, we can wrap one present, then if we have 6 yards we have:

1 yard = 36 inches

then 6 yards is equal to 6*36 inches = 216 inches

now, in how many pieces of 9 inches we can divide the 216 inches?

this is:

N = 216/9 = 24

for each one of those 24 pieces of 9 inches we can wrap a present, this means that with 6 yards of ribbons we can wrap 24 presents.

How does a natural monopoly function?

A: imperfect competition makes it difficult for firms to do business.

B: a few firms are in perfect competition.

C: the government supplies all buyers with the product

D: a single firm supplies all the output.

Answers

Answer:

D: a single firm supplies all the output.

Step-by-step explanation:

A natural monopoly runs most efficiently when one large firm supplies all of the output.

A natural monopoly occurs when the most efficient number of firms in the industry is one. As the name suggests, monopoly means single. We can also say that it is a market structure characterized by a single seller, selling a unique product in the market.  

Final answer:

A natural monopoly functions by having a single firm supply all output in a specific market, typically due to economies of scale. This usually occurs in markets where having multiple firms would be inefficient and costly, such as utilities. Government usually regulates these to protect consumers.

Explanation:

A natural monopoly functions in a manner where a single firm supplies all the output in a particular market. This is typically because this single firm can produce the total output in the market at a lower cost compared to several firms due to economies of scale. For example, in the utilities industry (like water or electricity), it would be highly inefficient and costly to have multiple firms deliver these services. Therefore, a single firm, or a 'natural monopoly', can provide these services at a lower cost.

The government often regulates natural monopolies to prevent abuse of monopoly power. This is done to ensure fair prices and adequate supply to consumers.

A restaurant claims to have served 352,000,000 hamburgers. What is this number in scientific notation?​

Answers

Answer:

3.52 × 10⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is written in: Number that is in the ones place × 10^power.

Here, the number is 3.52, since 3 has the largest placement.

The power on the 10 should be the number of 0's on 352,000,000/3.52. That is 100,000,000. That number has 8 0's, so the power is to the 8th.

Putting that together, this number in scientific notation in 3.52 × 10⁸.

Myself, I saw my aunt's misshapened figure with that feeling of awe and respect with which we behold explorers who have left their ears and fingers north of Franz Josef Land, or their health somewhere along the Upper Congo. My Aunt Georgiana had been a music teacher at the Boston Conservatory, somewhere back in the latter sixties. One summer, while visiting in the little village among the Green Mountains where her ancestors had dwelt for generations, she had kindled the callow fancy of the most idle and shiftless of all the village lads, and had conceived for this Howard Carpenter one of those extravagant passions which a handsome country boy of twenty-one sometimes inspires in an angular, spectacled woman of thirty. When she returned to her duties in Boston, Howard followed her, and the upshot of this inexplicable infatuation was that she eloped with him, eluding the reproaches of her family and the criticisms of her friends by going with him to the Nebraska frontier. Carpenter, who, of course, had no money, had taken a homestead in Red Willow County, fifty miles from the railroad. There they had measured off their quarter section themselves by driving across the prairie in a wagon, to the wheel of which they had tied a red cotton handkerchief, and counting off its revolutions. They built a dugout in the red hillside, one of those cave dwellings whose inmates so often reverted to primitive conditions. Their water they got from the lagoons where the buffalo drank, and their slender stock of provisions was always at the mercy of bands of roving Indians. For thirty years my aunt had not been further than fifty miles from the homestead.2 But Mrs. Springer knew nothing of all this, and must have been considerably shocked at what was left of my kinswoman. Beneath the soiled linen duster which, on her arrival, was the most conspicuous feature of her costume, she wore a black stuff dress, whose ornamentation showed that she had surrendered herself unquestioningly into the hands of a country dressmaker. My poor aunt's figure, however, would have presented astonishing difficulties to any dressmaker. Originally stooped, her shoulders were now almost bent together over her sunken chest. She wore no stays, and her gown, which trailed unevenly behind, rose in a sort of peak over her abdomen. She wore ill-fitting false teeth, and her skin was yellow from constant exposure to a pitiless wind and to the alkaline water which hardens the most transparent cuticle into a sort of flexible leather.3 I owed to this woman most of the good that ever came my way in my boyhood, and had a reverential affection for her. During the years when I was riding herd for my uncle, my aunt, after cooking the three mealsthe first of which was ready at six o'clock in the morningand putting the six children to bed, would often stand until midnight at her ironing board, with me at the kitchen table beside her, hearing me recite Latin declensions and conjugations, gently shaking me when my drowsy head sank down over a page of irregular verbs. It was to her, at her ironing or mending, that I read my first Shakespeare; and her old textbook on mythology was the first that ever came into my empty hands. She taught me my scales and exercises, tooon the little parlor organ, which her husband had bought her after fifteen years, during which she had not so much as seen any instrument, but an accordion that belonged to one of the Norwegian farmhands. She would sit beside me by the hour, darning and counting while I struggled with the "Joyous Farmer," but she seldom talked to me about music, and I understood why. She was a pious woman; she had the consolations of religion and, to her at least, her martyrdom was not wholly sordid. Once when I had been doggedly beating out some easy passages from an old score of Euryanthe I had found among her music books, she came up to me and, putting her hands over my eyes, gently drew my head back upon her shoulder, saying tremulously, "Don't love it so well, Clark, or it may be taken from you. Oh, dear boy, pray that whatever your sacrifice may be, it be not that."Based on the first paragraph of Passage B, one can infer that the narrator:A.) agrees with Aunt Georgiana's family's summation of Howard Carpenter.B.) believes that Aunt Georgiana's problems resulted from her helplessness.C.) feels that aristocratic values can have a stifling effect on a person.D.) thinks that Aunt Georgiana has made an important contribution to society.
