The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their master Trigonomos

agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it. Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. then he walked to another point 15 meters down the river and the line connecting him to the tree was 76 degrees what is the width of the river?

Answer:

60.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the river.  The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m.  The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.

This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river.  It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.

The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation

x/15 = tan(76)

Multiply both sides by 15:

15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))

x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2

How many and what type of solutions does 7x^2−4x+3 have? 1 rational solution 2 rational solutions 2 irrational solutions 2 nonre
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

2 non real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use discriminant,

for ax²+bx+c=0

The discriminat is b²-4ac

If the discriminant is,

→ less than 0, then 0 real solutions

→ equal to 0, then 1 real solutions

→ more than 0, then 2 real solutions

Given that,

7x²−4x+3=0

a=7, b=-4, and c=3

→ (-4)²-4(7)(3)

→ 16-84

→ -68

You can see this is less than 0, then non real solutions. [2 nonreal solutions]
