The plane figure formed by the ground, the guy wire, and the tree is a right triangle with the hypotenuse equal to length of the guy wire. The angle given is an angle adjacent to 3.5 ft. Therefore, the most suitable trigonometric function for this is,
                                  cos (50°) = adjacent / hypotenuse
                                   cos 50° = 3.5 ft / hypotenuse
The value of the hypotenuse is 5.445 ft. 
Hence, the length of the guy wire is approximately 5.445 ft.

What is the value of x?<br> Enter<br><br> X :<br><br> (Look at the photo)
Anton [14]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Each line creates a 180° angle on each side of it. Since these lines intersect, they have congruent angles. This means that these two quantities can be set equal to each other.</em>

3x + 50 = 6x - 10

<em>Solve by combining like-terms and isolating </em><em>x</em><em>. Move the </em><em>3x</em><em> to the right by subtracting it from both sides.</em>

50 = 3x - 10

<em>Move the </em><em>10</em><em> to the left by adding it to both sides.</em>

60 = 3x

<em>Divide the </em><em>3</em><em> from both sides to isolate the </em><em>x.</em>

x = 20

<em>Furthermore, this can be checked by plugging in </em><em>20</em><em> to </em><em>x</em><em> and seeing if the expression is true.</em>

3(20) + 50 = 6(20) - 10

Find the nth term of this quadratic sequence 3 8 15 24
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic sequence is a form. of mathematical progression of numbers in which the subsequent differences between each consecutive term differ by the exact amount. This is known as the common second difference.

Hence in this case,

we have

S= 3+8+15+24+…..+Tn - 1.

S=. 3+8+15+……………..Tn-1 + Tn

Deducting 2nd series from the first

We have 0=3+5+7+…….Tn

Hence, we have Tn= n (n+2)

= 24 (9+2)

= 24 + 11

= 35
