The area of a trapezoid is found using the formula A=1/2h(b^1+b^2), where b^1 and b^2 are the parallel sides of the trapezoid an

d h is the height. The area of a trapezoid is 18km^2 , with bases 5 km and 7 km. What is the height, in kilometers? PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS SOOON

$\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}h(b_1+b_2)~~ \begin{cases} A=18\\ b_1=5\\ b_2=7 \end{cases}\implies 18=\cfrac{1}{2}h(5+7) \\\\\\ 18=\cfrac{h(12)}{2}\implies 18=6h\implies \cfrac{18}{6}=h\implies 3=h$

Consider the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 35. If one of the zeros of the

Whitepunk [10]

If one zeros is x= -7 then the other zero is x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function: $f(x) = x^2 + 2x-35$

If one zeros of the function is x=-7 we need to find other zero of the function.

We can find zeros of the quadratic equation by factorizing the equation

$f(x) = x^2 + 2x-35$

Factorizing the quadratic equation:

$x^2 + 2x-35=0\\x^2-5x+7x-35=0\\x(x-5)+7(x-5)=0\\(x+7)(x-5)=0\\x+7=0\,\,and\,\,x-5=0\\x=-7\,\,and\,\,x=5$

So, if one zeros is x= -7 then the other zero is x=5

Six years after a tree was planted, its height was 7 feet. Nine years after it was planted, its height was 16 feet. Which of the

pychu [463]

Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height

Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7

9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16

With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.

To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )

Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11

a scuba diver descended at a rate of 2 1/4 per second. If 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The location will be at $- 28\frac{1}{8}$ units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba diver descended at a rate of $2\frac{1}{4}$ units per second.

Now, if 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface are negative, then after $12\frac{1}{2}$ seconds the location of the diver will be given by the followings :

In one second the diver descends by 2.25 units depth.

So, in 12.5 seconds the diver will descend by $(2.25 \times 12.5) = 28.125$ units i.e. $28\frac{1}{8}$ units depth.

Therefore, the location will be at $- 28\frac{1}{8}$ units. (Answer)
