Answer:

  57.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation between trig functions and sides of a right triangle. Here, you're given the side adjacent to the angle of interest, and the hypotenuse of the triangle. This suggests the CAH relationship is the one of interest:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(angle) = (741 ft)/(1393 ft)

  angle = arccos(741/1393) ≈ 57.863° . . . . . use the inverse cosine function

  angle ≈ 57.9°

The wire makes an angle of approximately 57.9° with the ground.

How do i do this? I dont really know where to start
Alex787 [66]
Well, I don’t necessarily remember how to sketch a plane. However, I can help get you started by defining some words they use and hopefully you will be able to do this on your own!

So this plane is made up of three points, names E, D and B. (Edit: This plane may be made up of four points, because of point A.)

E and B are collinear with A. This basically means that they all are on the same line.

D is a vertex. This basically means that it is a dot that these two lines called rays will shoot out of it. I will attach a picture of a vertex.

CD and FD are called rays. See those little lines above them? I’ll be sure to attached another image so that you know what I’m taking about. Anyway, that means they are rays. Rays are like never ending lines; they start at a point and the line will go on for infinity.

(Edit: where did the point f come from? I really wish you would have attached the full picture...)

Whelp, that’s all I’ve got! Good luck!!

(Edit: looks like I can only attach one picture...I’ll comment the other.)

??? Anyone know how to do this ???
babunello [35]

Answer:

B.  x ≤ 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

56 - 10x ≥ 20 + 8x

-18x ≥ -36

x ≤ -36/-18 = 2.      ( Note that the inequality sign flips because we are dividing by a negative value).

Rewrite 9(10 x) in distributive property
Ierofanga [76]
9(10+x)

To apply the distributive property, we need to multiply the number out of the parenthesis by each number inside. 

9*10 = 90
9*x = 9x

9x + 90

Final answer:  9x + 90

The graph of an exponential function passes through (2,−32) and (3,−64). Find the exponential function that describes the graph.
Greeley [361]

Answer: y=(-8)2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function will have this form:

y=ab^x

We know that the function passes through the points (2,-32) and (3,-64). Then, we can substitute the coordinates of the point (2,-32)  into y=ab^x and solve for "a":

-32=ab^2\\\\a=\frac{-32}{b^2}

Then, we know that:

y=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^x

Now, we neeed to substitute the coordinates of the second point (3,-64) into y=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^x and solve for "b":

-64=(\frac{-32}{b^2})b^3\\\\-64=-32b\\\\\frac{-64}{-32}=b\\\\b=2

Substituting the value of "b" into a=\frac{-32}{b^2} we can find "a":

a\frac{-32}{2^2}\\\\a=-8

Therefore, we get that the exponential function that describes the graph, is:

y=(-8)2^x
