Miguel is flying a kite, holding his hands a distance of 3.5 feet above the ground and letting all the kite’s string play out. H

e measures the angle of elevation from his hand to the kite to be 25^{\circ} ∘ . If the string from the kite to his hand is 150 feet long, how many feet is the kite above the ground? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary.

Answer:

66.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Kite string forms a right triangle with the horizontal 3.5 feet off of the ground

sin 25  = opp / hyp  = height / 150

sin 25 = height / 150

150 sin25 = height      but it is 3.5 feet off of the ground...add that in

3.5  + 150 sin25 = true height = ~ 66.9 ft

Running from the top of a flagpole to a hook in the ground there is a rope that is 13 meters long. If the hook is 5 meters from
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem we can see that it typifies a right angled triangle. The rope running from the top of the flagpole to the hook on the ground is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Let us call this hypotenuse c. Let the distance between the hook and the foot of the flagpole be b. Let the height of the flagpole be a.

From Pythagoras theorem;

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a^2= c^2 - b^2

a= √c^2-b^2

From the question

c= 13 metres

b= 5 metres

a= the unknown

a= √c^2-b^2

a= √(13)^2 - (5)^2

a= √169 - 25

a= √144

a= 12 meters

F (x) = x^2 + 2x - 5<br> g(x) = 2x + 4<br> What is (f• g)(x)?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a composite function, f(g(x)). This means, working from the inside function to the outside, we will take the function g and plug it in for x in the f function. g(x) = 2x + 4. We will plug that into f(x) and evaluate f(2x+4):

f(g(x))=(2x+4)^2+2(2x+4)-5 and I imagine your teacher has you simplify completely. We FOIL and distribute to get

f(g(x))=4x^2+16x+16+4x+8-5 which, by combining like terms, give us

f(g(x))=4x^2+20x+19

where:

aₙ = nth term

a₁ = first term

d = common difference

The sequence 8,9,10,-10 is not an arithmetic sequence.
