Answer:

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

A guy wire for a tree is 20 ft. long, making a 21 degree angle with the ground.

It forms a right angle triangle. the hypotenuse of the triangle is 20 ft

The adjacent side of the given angle 21 degree is the base of the tree from a stake

Let x be the base length

cos(theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos(21)=\frac{x}{20}

20cos(21)=x

x=18.7

the base of the tree from a stake anchoring the wire is 18.7 ft long

Delvig [45]
Substitute the 1st equation in the 2nd, we get:

3x + 2(-3 + 2x) = 2
3x -6 +4x = 2

7x = 8
x = 8/7

Replace x = 8/7 in equation 1,

y = -3 + 2(8/7) = -3 +16/7 = -5/7

The graph below shows a company’s profit f(x), in dollars, depending on the price of the erasers x, in dollars, being sold by th
Alex777 [14]

The x-intercept = (0, 0) and (8, 0), Rate of function is 50 and as the price of erasers increasing the company's profit increasing and when price of the eraser decreasing the price the company's profit decreasing.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a graph of a function:

From the graph:

x-intercept = (0, 0) and (8, 0)

Maximum value of the graph = 270 at x = 4

Increasing in the interval x ∈ (0, 4)

Decreasing in the interval x ∈ (4, 8)

As the price of erasers increasing the company's profit increasing and when price of the eraser decreasing the price the company's profit decreasing.

Rate of function = (270-120)/(4-1) = 50

Thus, the x-intercept = (0, 0) and (8, 0), Rate of function is 50 and as the price of erasers increasing the company's profit increasing and when price of the eraser decreasing the price the company's profit decreasing.
