Answer:

The value of \tan 30\degree is \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC  (figure -1)

\tan \theta =\frac{prependicular}{base}

\tan \theta =\frac{BC}{AB}

\tan 30\degree =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Hence, the value of \tan 30\degree is \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

Tan 30 degrees would be equivalent to sin(30)/cos(30).
Sin(30) is 1/2, and cos(30) is (3)^(1/2)/2.
((1/2)/((3^1/2)/2) can be made easier to solve by taking the reciprocal of the denominator, and inverting it.
This leaves (1/2)*(2/(3^(1/2)).
The 2 in the denominator of sin(30) cancels the 2 in the numerator of cos(30).
Leaving (1/1)*(1/(3^1/2)).
Here, you can see that tan(30) equals 1/(3^(1/2)). 

In regards to triangles, sin(30) is referring to a 30 degree angle in a 1-(3)^(1/2)-2 triangle, where sin is opposite/hypotenuse, and, so, is opposite the smaller, 1, leg.
As such, cos(30) is adjacent/hypotenuse and would be adjacent to the 3^(1/2), larger, leg. The hypotenuse is the same in both instances, in order to accommodate the Pythagorean theorem.

this is because 
x^{3}y
 x^{2}
and
  y
  are all separate variables (also x^{3} y combines into one variable)

A nursing student works at a doctor's office for $15 per hour and tutors other students for $25 per hour.
k0ka [10]

The system of inequalities represents the given constraints will be x + y < 20 and 15x + 25y > 375.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

Inequality is defined as an equation that does not contain an equal sign. Inequality is a term that describes a statement's relative size and can be used to compare these two claims.

A nursing student works at a doctor's office for $15 per hour and tutors other students for $25 per hour.

Let x be the number of hours for the doctor's office and y be the number of hours for the tutor.

The student cannot work more than 20 hours each week.

      x + y < 20 ...1

15x + 25y > 375 ...2

The system of inequalities represents the given constraints will be x + y < 20 and 15x + 25y > 375.
