Answer:

33.7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (3,7) to (6,9), x increases by 3 and y increases by 2.  Thus, the gradient (slope) of the line connecting these two points is

m = rise / run = 2/3.  Using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b, we obtain

7 = (2/3)(3) + b, or 7 = 2 + b, so we see that b = 5 and y = (2/3)x + 5.  The y-intercept is (0, 5).

Next we find the x-intercept.  We set y = (2/3)x + 5 = to 0 and solve for x:

(2/3)x = -5, or (3/2)(2/3)x = -5(3/2), or x = -15/2, so that the x-intercept is

(-15/2, 0).  This line intersects the x-axis at (-15/2, 0).

Now look at the segment of this line connecting (-15/2, 0) and (0, 5).  Here x increases by 15/2 and y increases by 5, and so the tangent of the acute angle in question is

tan Ф = 5 / (15/2) = 10 / 15 = 2/3.

Using the inverse tangent function, we get Ф = arctan 2/3, or approx.

33.7 degrees.

I believe you meant "the acute angle it makes with the positive x-axis."​

Solve the Equation. 20x + 12 ≥ 14x + 30 A. x ≥ 7 B. x ≤ 7 C. x ≥ 3 D. x ≤ 3
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

x≥3

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat the ≥ symbol like it is an equals sign. First, subtract 14x from each side to get 6x+12≥30. Then, Subtract 12 from each side to get 6x≥18. I will let you solve the rest :)

If the farmer has 250 feet of fencing to create a rectangular pen, define a function f that expresses the area of the field (mea
hoa [83]

Answer:

Maximum area possible

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Dimensions:

a  = 62,5  ft

w  = 62,5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular fencing    P  =  250 feet

And sides of the rectangle  a  and  w (width of rectangle)

Then

A =  a*w

2a  + 2w  = 250       ⇒  a  =  (250 -2w)/ 2    ⇒  a = 125 - w

f(w)  =  (125  - w ) *w        f(w)  = 125w - w²  

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation

f´(w)   =  125  - 2w              f´(w)   = 0           125  - 2w = 0

w = 125/2

w = 62,5 ft            ⇒  a = 125 - 62,5

a = 62,5 ft

f(max)  = ( 62,5)²

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²
