Answer:

  77 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle. The distance from the viewpoint to the base of the tower is 110 m, the leg of the triangle adjacent to the angle. The height of the spire is the leg of the triangle opposite the given angle. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

__

Using the given numbers, we find ...

  tan(35°) = height/(110 m)

  height = (110 m)tan(35°) = (110 m)×0.700208 ≈ 77.0 m

The height of the tower is about 77 meters.

Determine the equation of the linear function that has a slope of -4 and passes through the point (2,-4). Write the equation in
padilas [110]

Answer:

Part 1) y=-4x+4

Part 2) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=-4\\point\ (2,-4)

substitute in the linear equation

-4=-4(2)+b

solve for b

-4=-8+b\\b=8-4\\b=4

substitute

y=-4x+4

Part 2) Draw the equation

we know that

To graph a line we need two points

we have the y-intercept (0,4) and (2,-4)

Plot the points, connect them and join to draw the line

see the attached figure

How to solve 4n²-3n-7=0
almond37 [142]
4n^2-3n-7=0\\ \\ a=4, \ \ b=-3 \ \ c=-7\\ \\ \Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-3)^{2}-4*4* (-7)= 9+112=121

x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3-\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3-11}{8}= \frac{-8 }{ 8}=-1 \\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{ 3+\sqrt{ 121}}{2*4}=\frac{ 3+11}{8}= \frac{14 }{ 8}= \frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}
