Its basically asking for the base so "adjacent" would be "X" and the only place 89 can go is on the opposite so we have

tan(25) = 89/x
x*tan(25) =89
x=89/tan(25) and we get 191 :D

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86

after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet

What is the vertex of the graph of this equation y=2x^2+8x-24
sdas [7]

Answer:

The vertex would be D) (-2, -32)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex , start by find the x-value. For this we can use the equation below.

x = -b/2a

In which a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x.

x = -b/2a

x = -(8)/2(2)

x = -8/4

x = -2

Now that we have x, we find y by plugging -2 in for each x.

y = 2x^2 + 8x - 24

y = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) - 24

y = 2(4) - 16 - 24

y = 8 - 16 - 24

y = -32

The inverse of F(x) is a function
Sladkaya [172]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f be a function having domain in the set X, and range in the set Y. Then f would be invertible if there exists a function g having domain Y and range X, such as:

{\displaystyle f(x)=y\,\,\Leftrightarrow \,\,g(y)=x

In other words, the function f is applied to an input x, and gives an outcome of y, then its inverse function, let say g, can be applied to y to give the result of x.

In other words,

y = f(x) if and only if x = g(y)

For example, considering the function

\:\:f\left(x\right)=b\:-x

the inverse is:

f^{-1}\left(y\right)=b\:-y

45(x)+35(y)=1230<br> What is the the answer for x
givi [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: x = (82/3) - (7/9)y

Our goal is to get "x" alone on one side. To do this, follow the following steps.

1. Subtract "35y" on both sides

45x = 1230 - 35y

2. Divide "45" on both sides

x = (1230/45) - (35/45)y

3. Simplify the fractions

(1230/45) = 82/3

(35/45) = 7/9

4. Answer is x = (82/3) - (7/9)y

Use the Taylor series to estimate LaTeX: sin(x)s i n ( x ) about LaTeX: a = 0a = 0. Truncate to 6 terms (including terms that si
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

E_{r}=0.005% %

Step-by-step explanation:

The Taylor series of a function around a value ("a" is this case) is:

f(x)=f(a)+\frac{f'(a)(x-a)}{1!}+\frac{f''(a)(x-a)^{2}}{2!}+...

  • f' is the first derivative, f'' the second, and so on
  • a=0

If f(x)=sin(x), the Taylor series will be:

sin(x)=sin(0)+\frac{cos(0)(x-0)}{1!}-\frac{sin(0)(x-0)^{2}}{2!}-\frac{cos(0)(x-0)^{3}}{3!}+\frac{sin(0)(x-0)^{4}}{4!}+\frac{cos(0)(x-0)^{5}}{5!}

We truncate to 6 term as the question says.

Now, sin(0)=0 and cos(0)=1.

sin(x)=x-\frac{x^{3}}{6}+\frac{x^{5}}{120}

Let's find sin(π/4) using the Taylor series and with the calculator, and then calculate the relative error.

<u>Taylor series</u>

sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{(\frac{\pi}{4})^{3}}{6}+\frac{(\frac{\pi}{4})^{5}}{120}=0.707143058

<u>Calculator</u>

sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=0.7071067812

The relative error will be:            

E_{r}=\left |1-\frac{V_{aprox}}{V_{real}} \right |*100=0.005\%  

I hope it helps you!
