Answer:

101.98 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the diagram that I drew (sorry for the messiness; I do not own a stylus and so I was using my mouse to try to draw it).

Since the triangle is a right triangle, you can use SOH CAH TOA. In this case, you are trying to figure out the opposite length, but you are given the adjacent. So, we will use tangent to solve this (TOA = Tangent, Opposite over Adjacent).

The angle is 22.6 degrees, and the tangent of the angle is equivalent to the opposite length, x, divided by the adjacent length, 245 yards.

tan(22.6) = x / 245

x / 245 = tan(22.6)

x = tan(22.6) * 245

x = 0.4162598242 * 245

x = 101.9836569

So, you are about 101.98 yards from the cabin.

Hope this helps!

If -1 is one of the zeroes of py 3x^3-5x^2-11x-3 find other zeroes
katrin2010 [14]

Given:

The function is:

y=3x^3-5x^2-11x-3

It is given that -1 is a zero of the given function.

To find:

The other zeroes of the given function.

Solution:

If c is a zero of a polynomial P(x), then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

It is given that -1 is a zero of the given function. So, (x+1) is a factor of the given function.

We have,

y=3x^3-5x^2-11x-3

Split the middle terms in such a way so that we get (x+1) as a factor.

y=3x^3+3x^2-8x^2-8x-3x-3

y=3x^2(x+1)-8x(x+1)-3(x+1)

y=(x+1)(3x^2-8x-3)

Again splitting the middle term, we get

y=(x+1)(3x^2-9x+x-3)

y=(x+1)(3x(x-3)+1(x-3))

y=(x+1)(3x+1)(x-3)

For zeroes, y=0.

(x+1)(3x+1)(x-3)=0

(x+1)=0 and 3x+1=0 and x-3=0

x=-1 and x=-\dfrac{1}{3} and x=3

Therefore, the other two zeroes of the given function are -\dfrac{1}{3} and 3.

PEMDAS.

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Lets apply that here.

72-[(3x2^3)+48]

So first we start with (3x2^3)

2^3=8

3*8=24

now we do 24+48 which equals 72

now we have 72-72 which equals zero.

So

72-[(3x2^3)+48] = 0

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (9, 7) and (4, −8) ?
aalyn [17]
Y=mx+b where m=slope which is change in y divided by change in x                 m=(-8-7)/(4-9)=-15/-5=3 so we have                                                                 y=3x+b now we can use either point, I'll use (9,7), to solve for b or the y-intercept...                                                                                                         7=3(9)+b                                                                                                           7=27+b                                                                                                         b=-20so our line is:                                                                                              y=3x-20
