Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The length of the guy wire represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the antenna represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance, h from base of the antenna to the point on the ground to which the antenna is attached represents the adjacent side of the triangle.

To determine h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

41² = 32.8² + h²

1681 = 1075.84 + h²

h² = 1681 - 1075.84 = 605.16

h = √605.16

h = 24.6 m

To determine the angle θ that the wire makes with the ground, we would apply the the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos θ = 24.6/41 = 0.6

θ = Cos^-1(0.6)

θ = 53.1°

Answer:

The vertex or top is ( 2, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y = (x - 5 ) * ( x + 1 )

x² - 4x - 5

See attachment.

The vertex of the parabola is the Top.

The vertex of a parabola is the point where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry.

If the coefficient of the x² term is positive, the vertex will be the lowest point on the graph, the point at the bottom of the “ U ”-shape. If the coefficient of the x² term is negative, the vertex will be the highest point on the graph, the point at the top of the “ U ”-shape.

The standard equation of a parabola is it

y = ax² + bx + c.

But the equation for a parabola can also be written in "vertex form": y = a(x−h)² + k

In this equation, the vertex of the parabola is the point (h,k) = (2, -9)
