26. Law of sines, please give a step by step explanation

Answer:

  174.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to draw a diagram of the triangle we're concerned with. (See attached.)

We know the angle at the end of the shadow inside the triangle is 52°-22° = 30°. We assume the tree is growing straight up out of the hillside, so its angle with the hill inside the triangle is 90°+22° = 112°. Then the remaining angle between the shadow and the tree at the top of the tree is ...

  180° -30° -112° = 38°

Now, we have the angle opposite the tree, and the angle opposite the known side length of the triangle (215 feet along the hill, AC in the diagram). This is enough information to usefully use the Law of Sines.

  c/sin(C) = a/sin(A)

  c = a(sin(C)/sin(A)) = (215 ft)(sin(30°)/sin(38°)) ≈ 174.6 ft

The height of the tree is about 174.6 feet.

What is the measure of angle TMS? Pls explain your answer and I will mark brainliest!
Rudik [331]

Answer:

38 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is tangent that means it forms a 90 degree angle. The angle measure of the inside of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. If you add 52 and 90 you get 142. Subtract this amount from 180 and you will get the measure of m TMS

Answer:

x= -1/3 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 +3x= -2x +2-4

3x^2 + 5x +2=0

by factorization method

3x(x+2) 1(x+2)=0

(3x+1)(x+2)

Geraldine is asked to explain the limits on the range of an exponential equation using the function f(x) = 2^x. She makes these
GalinKa [24]

<u>General Idea:</u>

Domain is the values of x which gives a defined output to the function, and Range is the values of y that we get by substituting domain values of x. For the function f(x) = a^x, where a > 0, the domain will be all real numbers and range will be all values greater than 0. That is the graph will be very close to x-axis but will never touch it.

<u>Applying the concept:</u>

From the attached table, we can notice that as x increases infinitely, the y-values are continually doubled for each single increase in x and as x decreases infinitely, the y-values are continually halved for each single decrease in x.

Option 1: "Statement 1 is incorrect because the y-values are increased by 2, not doubled".

Option 1 is INCORRECT because Statement 1 is TRUE & CORRECT.

Option 2: "Statement 2 is incorrect because the y-values are doubled, not halved".

Option 2 is INCORRECT because Statement 2 is TRUE & CORRECT.

Option 3: "The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of the integers"

Option 3 is INCORRECT because, the range will be always greater than 0, because irrespective of how many times y is halved for each single decrease in x, the y will still be a positive fraction and won't be a negative.

Option 4: "The conclusion is incorrect because the range is limited to the set of positive real numbers"

<em><u>Option 4 is CORRECT because y value will be positive irrespective of whatever x we substitute in the function.</u></em>
