How to solve systems of equations by graphing

2 answers:

aliya0001 [1]3 years ago

In order to solve system by graphing, you first need to write each equation in slope-intercept form or y = mx + b form.

In this form, y is isolated on the left side of the equation.

In some problems, this will already be done for you.

After that, graph both lines on a coordinate system.

What you are looking for is the point where the lines intersect.

That point will represent the x and y that is the solution.

Feel free to plot many points along the line.

Graph both equations on one coordinate plane. Wherever the equations intersect is your answer.

Jason and Alison are hiking in the woods when they spot a rare owl in a tree. Jason stops and measures an angle of elevation of

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

$Owl= 67.14ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question.</em>

The given information is represented in the attached figure.

First convert 22°8'6'' and 30° 40’ 30” to degrees

$22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22 + \frac{8}{60} + \frac{6}{3600}$

$22^{\circ} 8'6'' = 22.135^{\circ}$

$30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30 + \frac{40}{60} + \frac{30}{3600}$

$30^{\circ} 40'30'' = 30.675^{\circ}$

Considering Jason's position:

$tan(22.135^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x + 48}$

Where x = distance between the tree and Alison

Make H the subject

$H = (x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ})$

Considering Alison's position

$tan(30.675^{\circ}) = \frac{H}{x}$

Make H the subject

$H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})$

$H = H$

$(x + 48)tan(22.135^{\circ}) = xtan(30.675^{\circ})$

$(x + 48) *0.4068 = x* 0.5932$

Open bracket

$x *0.4068 + 48 *0.4068 = 0.5932x$

$0.4068x + 19.5264 = 0.5932x$

Collect Like Terms

$-0.5932x+0.4068x = -19.5264$

$-0.1864x = -19.5264$

$0.1864x = 19.5264$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{19.5264}{0.1864}$

$x = 104.76$

Substitute 104.76 for x in $H = xtan(30.675^{\circ})$

$H = 104.76 * tan(30.675^{\circ})$

$H = 104.76 * 0.5932$

$H = 62.14$

The above represents the height of the tree.

The height of the owl is:

$Owl= H + 5$

$Owl= 62.14 + 5$

$Owl= 67.14ft$

How do I round 0.3 to the nearest thousandth

Luda [366]

0.3 is 3 tenths.
The order of "ths" is tenths, hundredths, thousandths.
Since there are no numbers after the 3, you simply have to add 2 zeros to make it 300 thousandths.

Find the slope of every line that is parallel to the graph of the equation. Y= 1/2x+4

Ostrovityanka [42]

For a line to be parallel it has to have the same slope as the original line. so the slope is 1/2
