In football, the path that a defender must run to tackle the ball carrier is called the path of pursuit. If the ball carrier runs 40 yards to the end zone and the path of pursuit is 45 yards, how far apart were the ball carrier and defender when they started? Answer with appropriate precision. (Hint: Use the Pythagorean Theorem.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The ball carrier and defender were 20.62 ft apart

Let the path the ball carrier runs = x and y = path of pursuit and L = distance between defender and ball carrier when they started.

x, L and y form a right angled triangle with y being the hypotenuse side of the triangle.

From Pythagoras' theorem,

x² + L² = y²

So, L² = y² - x²

L = √(y² - x²)

Since x = 40 yards and y = 45 yards,

#substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = √(y² - x²)

L = √(45² - 40²)

L = √(2025 - 1600)

L = √425

L = 20.62 ft

So, the ball carrier and defender were 20.62 ft apart

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, 4) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x + y = 3 in standard form?

Answers

So a line that is perpendicular is a line that intercepts other line at a 90 degree angle.

Slope of perpendicular lines is the opposite sign and the reciprocal of the other.

So if your slope was 2 the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/2.

So the equation, 2x + y = 3

Can be rewritten as

y= -2x+3

Perpendicular slope: 1/2

Since it intercepts/ passes the coordinates (5,4) it means that those values are included in the function input x and output y.

y=mx+b

4=1/2(5)+b

Solve for b (y intercept)

4-2.5=b

1.5=b

So the equation of the perpendicular is

y=1/2x+3/2 or y=.5x+1.5

x over 32 = 3 over 16

Answers

Answer:

7/32 = 3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

x/32=3/16

Simplifying:

+ 0.03125x=3/16

Simplifying:

+ 0.03125x=0.1875

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+ 0.03125x=0.1875

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+ 0.03125x=0.1875

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.03125 to get x

6x-9 = 3x + 24

subtract 3x from each side to get:

3x-9 = 24

add 9 to each side to get:

3x = 33

divide each side by 3 to get:

x = 11

substitute 11 into 'x' in 3x + 24 to get:

3(11) + 24 = 33+24 = 57

check:

substitute 11 into 'x' in 6x - 9 to get:

6(11) - 9 = 66 - 9 = 57

Line t passes through points (1, 11) and (5, 2). Line u is parallel to line t. What is the slope of line u?

Answers

Answer:

slope = - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope of line t using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 11 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 2 )

m = [tex]\frac{2-11}{5-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-9}{4}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

slope of line u is - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

1) a supermarket sells articles during the festival seasons with a 10% discount. find the new price of the following articles.

i) A CFL bulb if the marked price is Rs. 280

ii) A bunion if the marked price is Rs. 650.

iii) A gas cooker if the marked price is Rs. 7500

Answers

Answer:

252, 585, 6750

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to think that the regular price represents 100% and we need 10 of 10% to make an 100%. So if we divide the regular price by 10 will get our 10%.

i) A CFL bulb if the marked price is Rs. 280

10 % of 280 is 280/10 = 28

discounted price is 280 -28 = 252

ii) A bunion if the marked price is Rs. 650.

10 % of 650 is 650/10 = 65

discounted price is 650 -65 = 585

iii) A gas cooker if the marked price is Rs. 7500

10 % of 7500 is 7500/10 = 750

discounted price is 7500 -750 = 6750

Answers

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

45 = 3*3*5

180 = 2*2*3*3*5 <---- so the other number had to contain a factor of 2*2 or 4

also, let the other number has to be of the form 3k and it must contain a factor of 4, how about 12 ?

check: lcf of 12 and 45 is 3,

the lcm of 12 and 45 is ...

12 = 2*2*3

45 = 3*3*5

so we need: 2*2*3*3*5 = 180

The length of a rectangular garden is 5 less than triple
its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 70 feet,
find the dimensions of the garden algebraically.

Answers

Answer:

Width = 10 feet, Length = 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the width is x

the length is 3x-5

so, 2(x+(3x-5))=70 is the equation

2(x+3x-5)=70

2x+6x-10=70

8x-10=70

8x=10

x=10.

Width = 10 feet

Length = 25 feet

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -2/5x-7 and passes through (4,-1)?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

maybe this is not the full expression, as you wrote the line equation in a funny way.

I understand the following :

the line is

y = (-2/5)×x - 7

perpendicular means crossing at a right angle (90 degrees).

the slope of the original line is -2/5.

as in every line equation, the slope is the factor of x. and it expresses the ratio y/x indicating the amount of units y is changing, when x changes a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).

the perpendicular slope turns the original y/x ratio upside-down, and also flips the sign.

so, it is 5/2.

the equation for the perpendicular line looks like

y = (5/2)×x + b

now what is b ?

for this we use the specified point on the line : (4, -1)

and we put these values as x and y into the equation :

-1 = (5/2)×4 + b = 5×2 + b = 10 + b

b = -11

and so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (5/2)×x - 11

How do you solve this

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we should realize that the angle with 16x + 7 and the angle with 5x + 5 are same-side interior angles, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. This means that 16x + 7 + 5x + 5 = 180.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex](16x+5x)+(7+5)=180[/tex] [tex]21x + 12 = 180[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

[tex]21x + 12 - 12 = 180 - 12[/tex] [tex]21x = 168[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 21.

[tex]\frac{21x}{21}=\frac{168}{21}[/tex] [tex]x = 8[/tex]

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

[tex]16(8)+7+5(8)+5=180[/tex] [tex]128 + 7 + 40 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]135 + 40 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]175 + 5 = 180[/tex] [tex]80= 80[/tex]

Therefore, x = 8.
