A man standing on level ground is 1000 feet away from the base of a 350-foot-tall building. Find,

If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle.  The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground.  The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.

We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.

Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.

The tangent of the angle is      (opposite) / (adjacent)

                                                = (350 ft)  /  (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .

To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .

           tan⁻¹(0.350)  =  19.29° .  (rounded)

Now, consider a right triangle with legs of lengths 5 cm and 12 cm. what is the length c of the hypotenuse of this triangle?

Hypotenuse^2=12^2+5^2=144+25=169

⇒ hypotenuse =V169=13 cm

Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each MP3 player sold and $18 for each DVD player sold. Last week, Techwiz sold a c
kicyunya [14]

The combined total profit is (17x + 2502) dollars

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Profit for each Mp3 player = $ 35

Profit for each DVD player = $ 18

Let x be the number of MP3 players sold last week

Number of MP3 players = x

Last week, Techwiz sold a combined total of 139 MPS and DVD players

Total number of mp3 and dvd sold = 139

Number of DVD player = 139 - x

<em><u>Write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) Techwiz made from MP3 and DVD players last week.</u></em>

Combined total profit = Number of MP3 players x Profit for each Mp3 player + Number of DVD player x Profit for each DVD player

combined\ total\ profit = x \times 35 + (139-x) \times 18\\\\combined\ total\ profit = 35x + 2502-18x\\\\combined\ total\ profit = 17x + 2502

Thus the combined total profit is (17x + 2502) dollars

I need help with these :3 thx
yawa3891 [41]
Y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

1. 2x + 3y = 12
3y = -2x + 12
y = -2x + 4
y-intercept is 4

2. x - 4y = 20
-4y = -x + 20
y = -x - 5
y-intercept is 5

3. y = 2x - 9
this one is easy because it's already in standard form
y-intercept is -9
