The image of the given scenario is attached below.

A right angled triangle is formed, with one angle equal to 27 degrees. The perpendicular side is 155 and we are to find the length of guy wire which makes the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Using the formula of sine, we can write:

sin(27)= \frac{155}{x}  \\  \\ 
x= \frac{155}{sin(27)} \\  \\ 
x=341

Rounding to nearest whole number, the length of the guy wire that must be attached is 341 feet.

M(6,5) is the mid-point of the straight line joining A(2 , 3) to the
charle [14.2K]

Given :

M(6,5) is the mid-point of the straight line joining A(2 , 3) to the

point B.

To Find :

The coordinates of B.

Solution :

Let, coordinates of point B is ( h , k ) .

It is given that M is the mid - point of the straight line joining points A and B.

Coordinates of M is given by :

M = (\dfrac{2+h}{2},\dfrac{3+k}{2})\\\\(6,5 ) = (\dfrac{2+h}{2},\dfrac{3+k}{2})\\\\\dfrac{2+h}{2} = 6 \ , \  \dfrac{3+k}{2} = 5\\\\h = 10 \ ,\ k = 7

Therefore, coordinates of point B is ( 10 , 7 ).

At what value of x does the graph of the following function f(x) have a vertical asymptote? f(x)=1/x+3
ratelena [41]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3 ← equation of vertical asymptote
