1)Find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground when a tree that is

KIM [24]

Answer:

$\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the tree, h = 14 ft

The height of the shadow, b = 16 ft

We need to find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground. Let the angle be θ. We can use trigonometry to find it. So,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{14}{16}\\\\\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

So, the required angle of elevation of the sun is equal to $41.18^{\circ}$ .

Solve the equation y=2x^2-x-6 using the quadratic formula show the steps to solving

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$x1 = 2 \\ x2 = - \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = \frac{ - b + - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{ {( - 1)}^{2} - 4(2)( - 6) } }{2(2)} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{1 + 48} }{4} \\ x = \frac{1 + - \sqrt{49} }{4} \\ x = \frac{1 + - 7}{4} \\ \\ x1 = \frac{1 + 7}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \\ x2 = \frac{1 - 7}{4} = - \frac{6 }{4} = - \frac{3}{2}$
