6 0

Trigonometry can be used to determine the height of a cell phone tower by using SOH CAH TOA or the Pythagorean theorem. If you look at it as a right triangle you can figure out how tall the tower is. If an angle is given (not a 90°angle) and the value of a side you can figure out all of the sides on the theoretical right triangle. Including the height of the tower.

After being rearranged and simplified, which two of the following equations could be solved using the quadratic formula? A) 5x^3

madreJ [45]

Answer:

B & D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula can be used to solve for x for any quadratic. Recall a quadratic is any function whose highest exponent known as degree is 2. Looking at the answer selections, A has one term with exponent 3. This isn't possible in the formula. Looking at answer C, the term with exponent 2 has the same coefficient on each side of the equal sign. When it is rearranged these will cancel out no exponent of 2 will be in the equation anymore. Only B & D work after being rearranged and simplified
