See the picture attached to better understand the problem
 we know that
in the right triangle ABC
tan 64°=AB/AC------> AB=AC*tan 64°-----> AB=x*tan 64°---> equation 1

in the right triangle ABD
tan 43°=AB/DA----> AB=DA*tan 43°---> AB=(240+x)*tan 43°---> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
x*tan 64°-=(240+x)*tan 43°---->x*tan 64=240*tan 43+x*tan 43
x*[tan 64-tan 43]=240*tan 43-----> x=240*tan 43/[tan 64-tan 43]
x=200.22 ft

AB=x*tan 64----> AB=200.22*tan 64-----> AB=410.51 ft

the answer is
410.51 ft

Given the system of equations, what is the solution? 5x - 4y = 7 x = 5 - 3/2 y
xenn [34]
The answer is A


You can solve this by equation the two equations, by substitution method or elimination. Let's choose the substitution since Equation 2 has already X isolated
-take the X in equation 2 and substitute in the first equation
So, You should have 5 (5-3/2 y) -4y =7
Get y ( I'll assume you know how to simplify and find y by yourself )
y=36/23
-Now take y and substitute it in the first equation or the second equation (it doesn't really matter)
Substituting y in Equation 2:
x=5- 3/2 (36/23)
=> x= 61/23

So answer is A where (x,y) is (61/23, 36/23)

"Sketch a possible graph for a negative Quintic polynomial with one real zero." Can anyone explain how this is done? And if poss
Sidana [21]

quintic means degree of 5.

a negative quintic would be: f(x) = -x⁵ <u>+              </u>

an example with one real zero could be: -x⁵ + x³ + x + 3   (see attachment)
