She then measures the distance from the mirror to the base of the tree ... backwards until she sees the top of the tree reflected in the mirror.
First we need to find how far away the base of the ladder is from what it is leaning against. The ramp is the hypotenuse and the height from the ground in a leg. Let’s use Pythagorean’s theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substitute
a^2 + (5)^2 = (20)^2
Solve for a^2
a^2 = (20)^2 - (5)^2
Solve for a
a = 5 √15
The slope will be rise over run
5/5 √15 = √15/15 or 0.258…
Answer:
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that is a value of the function cosine for the special angles: and , then:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the answer.
Because we have 3 equations and 3 variables (x1, x2, x3) a 3x3 matrix (A) can be constructed by using their respectively coefficients.
Equations:
Eq. 1 : x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5
Eq. 2 : x1 + x2 + x3 = 6
E1. 3 : 4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7
Coefficients for x1 ; x2 ; x3
From eq. 1 : 1 ; 2 ; 5
From eq. 2 : 1 ; 1 ; 1
From eq. 3 : 4 ; 6 ; 5
So matrix A is:
And the vector of vriables (X) is:
Now we can find the resulting vector (B) using the 'resulting values' from each equation:
In conclusion, AX=B is:
Y1 is 3x, y2 is x^3 and y3 is 3^x
