Step-by-step explanation:

A tour group is going sea diving. Sea level is O feet. The ocean
floor is -18 feet. One diver is already at -11 feet. The tour guide
is keeping watch on the deck at 5 feet above sea level directly
above the diver. What is the distance from the tour guide to the
diver? Draw and label a number line to justify your answer.​

Answers

Answer:

16 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram for the clear understanding of the given question statement.

A is the position of tour guide on deck.

B is the sea level. (Can be considered as zero on the number line)

C is the position of Diver and

D is the point on ocean floor.

Below sea level dimensions are given as negative in the question statement.

As per given statement,

AB = 5 feet

BC = 11 feet (Ignoring the negative sign as negative sign only depicts that it is below sea level)

BD = 18 feet

To find:

Distance from tour guide to the diver = ?

Solution:

We have to actually find the value of AC here as per the image attached.

AC = AB + BC = 5 + 11 = 16 feet

If triangles ABC and DEF are similar, what is y? Show your work.

If both triangles are similar then ratio of sides will be same.

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12}{14}=\dfrac{y}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 12(21)=14y[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 14y=252[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=\dfrac{252}{14}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=18[/tex]

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{BC}{EF}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AC}{DF}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{y}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{21}{14}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 18

Hey can someone help me figure out what 3/4(x-8)=12

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4(x-8)=12

Multiply each side by 4/3

4/3*3/4(x-8)=12*4/3

x-8 = 16

Add 8 to each side

x-8+8 = 16+8

x=24

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, you need to break this apart.

You need to isolate the x to figure it out with division or something.

To isolate, you need to get rid of the numbers around it.

To get rid of the 3/4, you can convert it to a decimal to make it easier, and then divide both sides by 0.75 to get rid of it on the x's side.

You now have

x-8 = 12/0.75

You can quickly punch the right side into a calculator to make it easier.

x - 8 = 16

You then add 8 to both sides to finish off the x, to get

x = 24

[tex]\frac{1}{5} x + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Multiply each side by 5 to get rid of the fractions

5(1/5x + 4/5) = 8/5 *5

x+4 = 8

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 8-4

The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit of a two-digit number is one-half.The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit. Find the number.

Answers

Answer:

Number : 42

Step-by-step explanation:

This number will be a two - digit number, and hence we can say that it is yz. The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit is given by 1 / 2, so z / y = 1 / 2.

In addition the tens digit is 2 more than the units digit, so y = z + 2. We therefore have the following system of equations,

y = z + 2,

z / y = 1 / 2

Substituting the first equation into the second we receive z / z + 2 = 1 / 2. Using this we can solve for z.

z / z + 2 = 1 / 2 ( Cross - Multiply )

z + 2 = 2z, z = 2

And knowing z we can solve for y. y = z + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4. Therefore our number is 42.

A regular pentagon is shown
The perimeter is 125 cm
Write an equation and solve this
to find the value of x.​

Answers

Answer: The equation is 5x = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon is a five sided figure so all the side lengths must be equal. And to find the perimeter of a pentagon the you will  the five equal side lengths.

So assume we don't know the side lengths so we will represent it by x and the side lengths are 5 so we will have five x's and they will add up to 125 and that could be represent by the equation.

x + x + x + x + x = 125

5x = 125

x = 25

What is function?

Functions are the fundamental part of the calculus in mathematics. The functions are the special types of relations. A function in math is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output for every input . Mapping or transformation is used to denote a function in math. These functions are usually denoted by letters. The domain is defined as the set of all the values that the function can input while it can be defined. The range is all the values that come out as the output of the function involved. Co-domain is the set of values that have the potential of coming out as outputs of a function.

given function:

[tex]f(x)[/tex]= 2[tex]x[/tex] -7

So,[tex]f(x)[/tex]= 0

someone help me please

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

to make it easier we bring it to the pure y = ax + b form.

y + 1 = 7/8 x

y = 7/8 x - 1

x = -2

y = (7/8 × -2) - 1 = -7/4 - 1 = -7/4 - 4/4 = -11/4

x = 0

y = (7/8 × 0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1

x = 1

y = (7/8 × 1) - 1 = 7/8 - 1 = 7/8 - 8/8 = -1/8

x = 8/7

y = (7/8 × 8/7) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0

x = 2

y = (7/8 × 2) - 1 = 7/4 - 1 = 7/4 - 4/4 = 3/4
