Let's solve the inequalities: we have

-\dfrac{2}{3}x

and

\dfrac{3}{4}x

Since the two inequality must be true at the same time (there is an "and" between the two), we should find a number that is, at the same time, greater than -6, and smaller than -8. But since -6 is greater than -8, a number greater than -6 is automatically greater than -8 as well. So, it is impossible for a number to be greater than -6 and smaller than -8.

If negative numbers confuse you, this example shows the same (impossible) logic: we can't ask for a number to be greater than 10, but smaller than 3.

As for the second exercise:

3x-9\leq 9 \iff 3x \leq 18 \iff x \leq 6

4-x\leq 3 \iff -x \leq -1 \iff x \geq 1

So, a number satisfies this system if it is smaller than 6 or greater than 1. This means that at least one of the conditions must be satisfied, and this is always the case:

  1. If we choose a number smaller than 1, the second condition is met
  2. If we choose a number between 1 and 6, both are met
  3. If we choose a number greater than 6, the first condition is met

So, whatever number we choose, at least one of the conditions will be true, and the logical "OR" will be satisfied.

Robert is lying on the ground, looking at the top of a flagpole. The angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole is
NeTakaya

Answer:

Height of flagpole = 571 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole is 55° .

Distance from the eyes to the base of flagpole = 400 ft.

To find the height of the flagpole.

Solution:

We can draw the situation as a right triangle as shown below.

In triangle ABC.

BC=400\ ft

∠C= 55°

To find the length AB (height of the flagpole).

Applying trigonometric ratio :

\tan\theta=\frac{Opposite\ side}{Adjacent\ side}

\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}

Plugging in values.

\tan 55\°=\frac{AB}{400}

Multiplying both sides by 400.

400\tan 55\°=\frac{AB}{400}\times 400

571.26=AB

∴ AB\approx 571\ ft

Height of flagpole = 571 ft
