Answer:

39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle

40 ft tree = opposite side

50 feet = adjacent side

tan (angle) = opp / adj = 40 /50

arctan (40/50) = 38.66 degrees ~ 39 degrees

Solve x2 - 8x = 20 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

{-2,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 20

Take the coefficient of x

-8

Divide by 2

-8/2 =-4

Square it

(-4)^2 =16

Add this to each side

x^2 - 8x+16 = 20+16

x^2 - 8x+16 = 36

The left hand side becomes( x + (-8/2) )^2

(x - 4)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)

x-4 = ±6

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 4±6

x = 4±6

x = 4+6       x = 4-6

x = 10        x = -2

What is the solution to this equation ? x + 12 +3x =18 - 2x
olasank [31]

First, you combine like terms: x+3x=4x: 12+4x=18-2x

Second, you add the 2x to each side (inverse operation): 12+6x=18

Third, you subtract 12 from 18 to cancel out the 12 (inverse operation): 6x=6

Fourth, you divide each side by 6 to find the value of x

The answer is x=1

What is the first term of the geometric sequence presented in the table below?
Rina8888 [55]
176 = a1 * r^4
704 = a1 * r^6

dividing:-

r^2 = 706/174 =  4   so r = +/- 2

a1 =  176 / 2^4 =  176/16 = 11

So 11 is the first term
