A tree is leaning at a 5° angle from vertical, making an 85° angle with the ground. When the sun is at a 65° angle of elevation,

the tree casts a 25-foot shadow. What is the approximate length of the tree?

D = 25 ft is the length of a shadow. L -  the length of a tree.
Two angles are 85° and 65° and the third is 180° - ( 65° + 85° ) =
= 180° - 150° = 30°.
We will use the Sine Law:
25 / sin 30° = L / sin 65°
25 / 0.5 = L / 0.9063
25 * 0.9063 = 0.5 L
22.6577 = 0.5 L
L = 22.6577 : 0.5
L = 45.3 ft.
Answer: the approximate length of the tree is 45.3 ft.

Which expression is equivalent to -9a-10-6a+7−9a−10−6a+7
Gwar [14]

Answer:

−30a−6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

−9a−10−6a+7−9a−10−6a+7

=−9a+−10+−6a+7+−9a+−10+−6a+7

Combine Like Terms:

=−9a+−10+−6a+7+−9a+−10+−6a+7

=(−9a+−6a+−9a+−6a)+(−10+7+−10+7)

=−30a+−6

Can anybody help me with this?<br> Algebra 1
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7. f(x) = mx + b; b acts as the vertical shift moving the graph up if b is positive and down if b is negative.

f(x) = x-2 has shifted the graph of f(x) down 2 units.

g(x) = x + 7 has shifted the graph up 7 units.

If f(x) is changed to g(x) the vertical shift has gone from -2 to + 7 or (7-(-2) = 9 units up

8. f(x) = mx stretches the graph by a factor of m if m > 0 and compresses the graph by a factor of m if 0<m<1

f(x) = 3x stretches the graph by a factor of 3.

g(x) = 1/4x compresses the graph by a factor of 1/4
