Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let x =  the angle of elevation.
By definition,
tan x = 50/60 = 0.8333
x = tan⁻¹ 0.8333 = 39.8°

Answer: 40° (nearest degree)

Sara is having a dinner party for four friends and needs to reduce the serving size of the meatloaf recipe. She uses the equatio
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
To solve this equation you need to find the value of x.
You can do this by using inverse operations.
and getting x alone.
 x/4=5
the opposite of division is multiplication so we multiply 5 by 4
x=5*4
we now have x alone and must solve the rest of the equation
5*4=20
There for x=20
The recipe originally made 20 servings.


I hope this helped:) If you have any questions pleas comment and i will do my best to answer and/ or explain :)

Answer:

i x = 0

ii x = 5,9

iii y = 12

iv y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = 12x²/(x - 5)(x - 9)

0 = 12x²

0 = x²

x = 0

ii vertical asymptotes at x = 5, 9

asymptotes occur as either term (x - 5)(x - 9) approaches zero

iii horizontal asymptote y = 12

function essentially becomes 12(∞²)/∞² = 12(1) as x goes to ±∞

iv y = 0 where x = 0
