Answer:

about 16°

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

Drawing the right triangle, we see that the shorter leg is 34 meters, and the longer leg is 122 meters. So the angle of elevation is:

\tan( \alpha )  =  \frac{34}{122}

\alpha  =  { \tan }^{ - 1}  \frac{34}{122}  = 15.57

What is the vertex form of y=-1/2x^2 -2x -3?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

y = − 1 2 ⋅ ( x + 2 ) 2 − 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2 - 4x + 5 into vertex form, and state the vertex. Equation in y = ax2 + bx + c form.

Very glad I could help you!1

Write an equality that represents eight less that three times a number is more than 22​
leonid [27]

Answer:

3x - 8 > 22

Step-by-step explanation:

" eight less" means to subract 8 form something.  If you had 10 apples and I took some so now you had 8 less apples, you'd have 10 - 8 = 2 apples

"three times a number" means 3x.  3 times some number.

The expression 3x - 8 means "8 less than 3 times a number"

"is" is math is a statement of equality, either an equals sign or an inequality needs to go here.

Our inequality is

3x - 8 > 22
