Answer:

23°

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply Pythagorean theorem to determine the missing length, Hypotenuse:

h^2+b^2=H^2\\\\70^2+30^2=H^2\\\\H=\sqrt{5800}\\\\=76.15773\ ft

This hypotenuse corresponds to the right triangle and the tree's height, corresponds to the angle of elevation:

-We apply the law of Sines;

\frac{a}{Sin \ A}=\frac{b}{Sin\ B}\\\\\\\frac{76.15773}{Sin \ 90}=\frac{30}{Sin\  h}\\\\h=Sin^{-1}\frac{30}{76.15773}\\\\=23.19859\approx 23\textdegree

Hence, the angle of elevation is 23°

For what values of m does the graph of y = 3x^2+ 7x + m have two x-intercepts?
qaws [65]

Answer:

m < 49/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The portion of the quadratic formula under the square root sign is the discriminant.

If the discriminant is > 0 then there are two real roots.

b² -4ac > 0

-----------------------------

7² - 4(3)m > 0

49 - 12m > 0

Subtract 49 from both sides

-12m > -49

Divide both sides by -12

(when multiplying or dividing by a negative the inequality must be reversed)

m < 49/12

A box of fruit has three times as many nectarines as grapefruit. Together there are 64 pieces of fruit. Write the equation that
Basile [38]

Answer:

4g = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number of nectarines

and g = the number of grapefruit

We have two conditions that must be satisfied to represent the situation:

(1)         n = 3g

(2) n + g = 64

If you need one equation, we can substitute (1) into (2) and get

4g = 64
