In last weekend's track meet, Lakeland High School had 30 individual-
event placers score a total of 111 points. First-place finishers score 7 points, second-place finishers score 4 points, and third-place finishers score
1 point. The number of first- and second-place finishers was twice the
number of third-place finishers. Find the number of runners that finished in
each place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of runners that finished in first place , second place and third place are 7 , 13 and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of runners fished at first place be x

Let the no. of runners fished at second place be y

Let the no. of runners fished at third place be z

We are given that Lakeland High School had 30 individual-  event placers

So, x+y+z=30 -----1

First-place finishers score 7 points

So, Total score of x runners = 7x

Second-place finishers score 4 points

So, total score of y runners = 4y

Third-place finishers score  1 point.

So, total score of z runners = z

We are given that 30 individual-  event placers score a total of 111 points

So, 7x+4y+z=111 ----2

We are also given that  The number of first- and second-place finishers was twice the  number of third-place finishers.

x+y=2z ---3

Substitute the value from 3 in 1

x+y+z=30

2z+z=30

z=10

Substitute the value of z in 1 and 2

x+y=20 ----4 and 7x+4y=101 ---5

Substitute the value of x from 4 in 5

7(20-y)+4y=101

140-7y+4y=101

140-3y=101

39=3y

`13=y

Substitute the value of y and z in 1

x+13+10=30    

x=7

Hence the number of runners that finished in first place , second place and third place are 7 , 13 and 10 respectively.

A function that changes in the same way all the time is?

Answers

Answer:

A function that changes the same way can be a linear function.

y = a*x + b.

Where the rate of change (this is, how much changes y when x increases or decreases) is defined by the coefficient a, that is constant.

for example, suppose that when x = x0, we have y = y0

y0 = a*x0 + b.

Now x0 increases by one unit, to (x0 + 1)

y = a*(x0 + 1) + b = (a*x0 + b) + a = y0 + a.

Then if x increases (or decreases) 1 unit, y increases (or decreases) a units.

Now, we can define the rate of change of a function as it's derivate with respect to some variable.

In this case, if we derive with respect to x, we have:

y' = a

Then the rate of change is constant.

1.) A ladder is leaning against the side so that the distance on the ground between
the base and the house is 7 feet.
If the ladder is 15 feet long, then what is the angle at which the ladder is leaning?

Answers

Answer:

62.182°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cos and sin you are able to find the height of the ladder from the bottom of the house to the place the top of the ladder is. You can do this by making a triangle. By using the lengths and angles already present you are able to find all angles of the triangle.

The angle at which the ladder is leaning is 62.18°.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with calculating the angles of triangles or the lengths of their sides. It mainly concerned on the properties of right angled triangle.

For the given situation,

The length of the ladder = 15 feet

The distance between the house and the ladder base = 7 feet

The angle at which the ladder is leaning can be found by using trigonometric ratio, cos θ.

we know that, [tex]cos[/tex] θ = [tex]\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

The figure below shows the relationship between the sides.

⇒ [tex]cos[/tex] θ = [tex]\frac{7}{15}[/tex]

⇒ θ = [tex]cos^{-1}(\frac{7}{15} )[/tex]

⇒ θ = [tex]62.18[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the angle at which the ladder is leaning is 62.18°.

Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF. Side AB measures 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC. Side DE measures 8 cm and is the longest side of DEF.

Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF with what scale factor?

Answers

Answer: scale factor = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{Side length of image}}{\text{Side length of original figure}}[/tex]

Given: Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF.

Side AB = 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC.

Side DE = 8 cm and is the longest side of DEF.

[tex]\text{For similar triangles, Corresponding sides are proportional.}[/tex]

AB is corresponds DE (longest side of both triangles)

So, [tex]\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\dfrac{12}{8}=1.5[/tex]

The required equation of the line is given as y =1/4x -17/4.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is a tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m = tanx where x in degrees.


The slope of the line is given as,
m = (y₂ - y₁) /  (x₂ - x₁)
Substitute the value in the above equation,
m = -2 + 4 / 9 - 1

m = 2 / 8
m = 1/4
Since the slope of the parallel lines is equal,
The equation of the parallel is given as,
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Substitute the point in the equation,
y + 3 = 1/4(x - 5)
y = 1/4x - 5/4 -3
y =1/4x -17/4

Thus, the required equation of the line is given as y =1/4x -17/4.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will divide I-2xI on both sides that should look like this:

       -2x/-2 = 10/-2

when you divide it your -2‘s should cancel out and you should be left with

         -x=10/-2

when You divide 10/-2 you should get -5

         10/-2= -5

your answer should look like this then

         -x=-5

-5 is just one of your answers the other is 5

To get rid of the negative on the -X you have to didvide it by both sides

        -x/-x=-5/-x

your answer should be

your final answers are
