A diagram would surely help here.  But imagine that you stand at spot A and someone finds that your distance from the base of the building is 42 feet.  Call this point B.
 
Imagine a vertical line from that spot, straight up.  Label the top of this line C.

The acute angle at A is 67 degrees.  You want to find the height of the building, which would be the length of the "opposite side of triangle ABC."
The length of the "adjacent side of triangle ABC" would be 42 feet.

We don't know the length of the hypotenuse, altho' we could easilyl calculate it using the Pyth. Them.

We choose the tangent function to solve for the height of the building (which is the length of the opposite side. 

                                                                         height
By definition, tangent (67 degrees) = -------------------------------------
                                                                       42 feet

Find tan 67.  Multiply your result by 42 feet.  This product is the height of the building.

I need help with arithmetic and geometric sequences
Drupady [299]

So basically an arithmetic sequence has a common difference, a number which is either added or subtracted at a constant rate (only that number). A geometric sequence is the ratio between two numbers, meaning they are either multiplied or divided by the same number. The sequence would be neither if it follows none of these patterns. So by this logic:

14. Arithmetic, 15. Geometric, 16. Neither, 17. Geometric

Which is true about the degree of the sum and difference of the polynomials 3x5y – 2x3y4 – 7xy3 and –8x5y + 2x3y4 + xy3?
gladu [14]
Sum:

     3x^5*y - 2x^3*y^4 - 7x*y^3
 + -8x^5*y + 2x^3*y^4 +x*y^3
---------------------------------------
     -5x^5y - 6xy^3

Term 1: Degree = 6
Term 2: Degree = 4

Difference:

     3x^5*y - 2x^3*y^4 - 7x*y^3
 -  -8x^5*y + 2x^3*y^4 +x*y^3
---------------------------------------
     11x^5y - 4<span>x^3*y^4 - 8</span>xy^3

Term 1: Degree = 6
Term 2: Degree = 7
Term 3: Degree = 4

The degree of a term of a polynomial can be obtained by adding the exponents of the variables in that term.
