Answer:
2. Side length =9
Step-by-step explanation:
A square has all sides equal. and it has 4 sides, so 36 divided by 4 =9.
3.x squared =6
answer is x=3
square root both sides.
ANSWER IS C because I looked it up
<u>Answer-</u>
2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.
<u>Solution-</u>
Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.
Taking,
x = number of people,
y = pounds of turkey.
This condition can be represented as,
As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3
Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes
Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.
All the calculations are shown in the attached table.
60 = a * (-30)^2
a = 1/15
So y = (1/15)x^2
abc)
The derivative of this function is 2x/15. This is the slope of a tangent at that point.
If Linda lets go at some point along the parabola with coordinates (t, t^2 / 15), then she will travel along a line that was TANGENT to the parabola at that point.
Since that line has slope 2t/15, we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula:
y = m(x-x0) + y0
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
Plug in the x-coordinate "t" that was given for any point.
d)
We are looking for some x-coordinate "t" of a point on the parabola that holds the tangent line that passes through the dock at point (30, 30).
So, use our equation for a general tangent picked at point (t, t^2 / 15):
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
And plug in the condition that it must satisfy x=30, y=30.
30 = 2t/15 * (30 - t) + (1/15)t^2
t = 30 ± 2√15 = 8.79 or 51.21
The larger solution does in fact work for a tangent that passes through the dock, but it's not important for us because she would have to travel in reverse to get to the dock from that point.
So the only solution is she needs to let go x = 8.79 m east and y = 5.15 m north of the vertex.
