Answer:

$h = 16.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin A /a = sin B / b = sin C/c$ where A is angle and a is side opposite of angle

$sin (49) / h = sin(41)/ 14$ cross-multiply

$h*sin(41) = 14 * sin(49)$

$h = (14*sin(49))/ sin(41)$

$h = 16.1$

Solve for x. -x/3=2 x= -6 x= -1 x = 6

LenKa [72]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-x/3 = 2

Multiply both sides of -x/3 = 2 by -3:

(-3 (-x))/3 = -3×2

-3×(-1)/3 = (-3 (-1))/3:

(-3 (-1))/3 x = -3×2

(-3)/3 = (3 (-1))/3 = -1:

--1 x = -3×2

(-1)^2 = 1:

x = -3×2

-3×2 = -6:

Answer: x = -6

5) k/35=3/7 : cross multiply
35*3=7k : simplify
105=7k : divide both sides of the equation by 7
k=15

6) 3/t=18/24 :cross multiply
18t=24*3 :simplify
18t=72 : divide both sides of the equation by 18
t=4

7) 10/8.4 = 5/m :cross multiply
10m=5 * 8.4 :simplify
10m=42 :divide both sides by 10
m=4.2

If f(x, y) = xy, find the gradient vector ∇f(2, 5) and use it to find the tangent line to the level curve f(x, y) = 10 at the po

hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

check attachment

f(x,y)=xy Δf(2,5)

fx=y = 5

fy=x = 2

Gradient Vector:

<5,2>

Tangent Vector:

0=fx(x-2) + fy(y-5)

0=5(x-3) + 2(y-2)

11=5x+2y
