The angle of elevation from the top of a house to a jet flying 2 miles above the house is x radians. If d represents the horizon
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

d = 2cot(x) or d = 2/tan(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance from the jet to the top of the house represents the opposite side to the 'x' angle, while the horizontal distance, d, represents the adjacent side. Since we do not know the hypotenuse, the tangent and cotangent functions are the preferable choices:

tan (x) = \frac{2}{d}\\d = \frac{2}{tan (x) }\\cot (x) = \frac{d}{2} \\d= 2cot(x)

Therefore, the distance 'd' can be expressed as d = 2cot(x) or d = 2/tan(x).

rebekah's baby brother weighs 7.71 pounds.How much will her baby brother weigh if he gains 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

10.31 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we multiply 1.3 x 2 because he is gaining 1.3 for the next TWO weeks.

1.3 x 2 = 2.6

Now, add 7.71 + 2.6 because that is the weight he started with.

7.71 + 2.6 = 10.31‬

Her brother will weight 10.31 pounds if he is 7.71 lbs and continues to gain 1.3 pounds each week for two weeks.
