To input your angle measures in degrees, use the functions sind, cosd and tand, instead of sin, cos and tan. Zach stands at the

top of a cliff. On the ground, 310 feet below, Zach spots a coyote. When Zach initially sees the coyote, the angle of depression for his vision is 6 degrees. Draw a picture! At this point in time, how far is the coyote from the base of the cliff

Answer:

  about 2949 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Filling in the known values, we have ...

  tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)

<h3>solution</h3>

Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...

  distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft

  distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft

The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.

Complete the square x^2-10=16<br><br>​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(x - 5)² = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the completing square form

- the form x² ± bx + c is a completing square if it can be put in the form

 (x ± h)² , where b = 2h and c = h²

# The completing square is x² ± bx + c = (x ± h)²

# Remember c must be positive because it is = h²

* Lets use this form to solve the problem

∵ x² - 10x = 16

- Lets equate 2h by -10

∵ 2h = -10 ⇒ divide both sides by 2

∴ h = -5

∴ h² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c = h²

∴ c = 25

- The completing square is x² - 10x + 25

∵ The equation is x² - 10x = 16

- We will add 25 and subtract 25 to the equation to make the

 completing square without change the terms of the equation

∴ x² - 10x + 25 - 25 = 16

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) - 25 = 16 ⇒ add 25 to both sides

∴ (x² - 10x + 25) = 41

* Use the rule of the completing square above

- Let (x² - 10x + 25) = (x - 5)²

∴ (x - 5)² = 41
