See picture below for a geometric view.
Let x = height of building
We use basic trigonometry to find x.
The tangent function = opposite side of right triangle OVER adjacent side of right triangle.
tan(2°) = x/1
Solve for x.
After multiplying both sides by 1 (here 1 represents 1 mile), we get
tan(2°) = x.
We now use the calculator to find x.
In fact, you can take it from here. Use your calculator.
I think it's D. I will admit that I'm an educated guess.
Answer:
(3x + 1)²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
9x² + 6x + 1 ← is a perfect square of the form
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
Compare like terms to find a and b
a²x² = 9x² ⇒ a² = 9 ⇒ a =
= 3
b² = 1 ⇒ b =
= 1
and 2ab = 2 × 3 × 1 = 6
Thus
9x² + 6x + 1 = (3x + 1)²
the axis of symmetry is x=2
