Angle of elevation is 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have the opposite side 75 ft to the angle and the hypotenuse 125 ft, we can find the sine value as,

sin θ = opp/ hyp

= 75/125

= 0.6

θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6) = 36.9°≈ 37°

So angle of elevation is 37°.

A) Let x = cost of t-shirt:

x= 22.95-12.25

B) x = 22.95 -12.25 = 10.70

C) the t-shirt cost $10.70

Identify the x-intercepts of the function below f(x)=x^2+12x+24

damaskus [11]

ANSWER:

x-intercepts of $\mathrm{x}^{2}+12 \mathrm{x}+24=0 \text { are }(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})$

SOLUTION:

Given, $f(x)=x^{2}+12 x+24$ -- eqn 1

x-intercepts of the function are the points where function touches the x-axis, which means they are zeroes of the function.

Now, let us find the zeroes using quadratic formula for f(x) = 0.

$X=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Here, for (1) a = 1, b= 12 and c = 24

$X=\frac{-(12) \pm \sqrt{(12)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 24}}{2 \times 1}$

$\begin{array}{l}{X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144-96}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 3}}{2}} \\\\ {X=\frac{-12 \pm 4 \sqrt{3}}{2}} \\ {X=\frac{2(-6+2 \sqrt{3})}{2}, \frac{2(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}{2}} \\\\ {X=(-6+2 \sqrt{3}),(-6-2 \sqrt{3})}\end{array}$
