Two people are 100 feet apart on opposite sides of a tree. The angles of elevation from the people to the top of the tree are 30

° and 45°. Find the height of the tree. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

We need to solve for the height of the tree given two angles and distance between the two observers. See attached drawing for a better understanding of the problem.
We derive to equations using SOH CAH TOA such as below:
sin30 = h / x
sin 45 = h / (100-x)

sin 45 (100-x) = xsin30 
70.71 - 0.71x = 0.5x
70.71 = 1.21 x
x = 58.44

Solving for h, we have:
h = xsin30
h = 58.44 sin30
h = 29.22

The height of the tree is 29.22 feet.

Answer:

36.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the angle at the top of the tree between the people: 180° - 30° - 45° = 105°.

Next, use the Law of Sines:  

a

sin A

=  

b

sin B

=  

c

sin C

to find the distance from the top of the tree to the second person.

x

sin (30°)

=  

100 ft

sin (105°)

x ≈ 55.1689 ft

Now, you can find the height of the tree by using a 45-45-90 special right triangle, so the height =  

55.1689

2

≈ 36.6 ft

Answer:

c. f(x)=x(x+2)(x-1)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Where it says "as x goes to negative infinity" then "y goes to infinity" (that's the part with the infinity symbols) that means the graph is going up at it's left end. This curve is a quartic (4th degree) which means its left and right ends are kind of parabola-ish, but the middle is not the neat u-ish, v-ish shape of a parabola; it's more like a wonky, noodle-ish wavy affair. Anyway, LIKE a parabola when the beginning of the equation is positive, the two ends point up. That's what's happening here and so we can eliminate b. and d. as potential answers.

Since -2, 0, 1, 4 are zeros (which are solutions...and also x-intercepts) we can find the factors of the function.

If x = -2

ADD 2 to both sides.

x + 2 = 0

This means (x+2) is a factor.

This is enough info to select answer c. but let's verify the other factors.

If x = 1

SUBTRACT 1 from both sides.

x - 1 = 0

Thus means (x - 1) is a factor.

If x = 4

SUBTRACT 4 from both sides.

x - 4 = 0

(x - 4) is a factor.

You can see c. has all these factors as well as x, because x=0 already, so x is a factor too.

I think of this as a working backwards problem, bc usually you have to factor and solve. This one, you have solutions (which are zeros and x-intercepts) and work backwards to find factors and multiply them together to find the function.
