Answer:

a) weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

b) 2773 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium force is 490 lbs. That force keep the car at rest, then

∑ Fy  =  0     and  ∑Fx  =  0

Forces acting on the car:

The external force   490 lbs

weight of the car   uknown

Normal force

sin∠10°  =  0,174

cos∠10° = 0.985

∑Fx  =  0         mg*sin10°- 490 = 0      ∑Fy =  0      mg*cos10° - N  =  0

mg*0,174= 490

mg  =  490 / 0,174

mg = 2816,1 lbs

weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

The Normal force

mg*cos10° - N  =  0        2816,1 * 0,985 = N

N = 2773 lbs

Then equal force in magnitude and in opposite direction will car exets on the driveway

SUMMARY:

x^4+\frac{5}{x^3}-\sqrt{x}+8                               →    Not a Polynomial

-x^5+7x-\frac{1}{2}x^2+9                           →    A Polynomial

x^4+x^3\sqrt{7}+2x^2-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x+\pi              →    A Polynomial

\left|x\right|^2+4\sqrt{x}-2                                   →    Not a Polynomial

x^3-4x-3                                        →    A Polynomial

\frac{4}{x^2-4x+3}                                              →    Not a Polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

The algebraic expressions are said to be the polynomials in one variable which consist of terms in the form ax^n.

Here:

n = non-negative integer

a = is a real number (also the the coefficient of the term).

Lets check whether the Algebraic Expression are polynomials or not.

Given the expression

x^4+\frac{5}{x^3}-\sqrt{x}+8

If an algebraic expression contains a radical in it then it isn’t a polynomial. In the given algebraic expression contains \sqrt{x}, so it is not a polynomial.

Also it contains the term \frac{5}{x^3} which can be written as 5x^{-3}, meaning this algebraic expression really has a negative exponent in it which is not allowed. Therefore, the expression x^4+\frac{5}{x^3}-\sqrt{x}+8 is not a polynomial.

Given the expression

-x^5+7x-\frac{1}{2}x^2+9

This algebraic expression is a polynomial. The degree of a polynomial in one variable is considered to be the largest power in the polynomial. Therefore, the algebraic expression is a polynomial is a polynomial with degree 5.

Given the expression

x^4+x^3\sqrt{7}+2x^2-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x+\pi

in a polynomial with a degree 4. Notice, the coefficient of the term can be in radical. No issue!

Given the expression

\left|x\right|^2+4\sqrt{x}-2

is not a polynomial because algebraic expression contains a radical in it.

Given the expression

x^3-4x-3

a polynomial with a degree 3. As it does not violate any condition as mentioned above.

Given the expression

\frac{4}{x^2-4x+3}

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

Therefore, is not a polynomial because algebraic expression really has a negative exponent in it which is not allowed.

SUMMARY:

x^4+\frac{5}{x^3}-\sqrt{x}+8                               →    Not a Polynomial

-x^5+7x-\frac{1}{2}x^2+9                           →    A Polynomial

When the angle of elevation of the sun is 78 degrees, a tree casts a 13 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 61.16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think in this situation as a triangle rectangle.

where:

The height of the tree is one cathetus

The shadow of the tree is the other cathetus.

We know that the angle of elevation of the sun is 78°, an angle of elevation is measured from the ground, then the adjacent cathetus to this angle is the shadow of the tree. And the opposite cathetus will be the height of the tree.

Now we can remember the relationship:

Tg(A) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

Where:

A = 78°

Adjacent cathetus = 13ft

opposite cathetus = height of the tree = H

Then we have the equation:

Tg(78°) = H/13ft

Tg(78°)*13ft = H = 61.16 ft
