Answer: You apply the trigonometric ratios of Sine, Cosine and Tangent.

Step-by-step explanation: In a question such as this one of the angles must be given, which is labeled the reference angle. We already know one angle is 90 degrees in a right angled triangle, so the other two angles whatever their size is, must both add up to 90, which means they are both acute angles. If one side is given, for instance 10 units, and one of the two acute angles is given, for example 30 degrees, then the line facing the reference angle (30 degrees) would be the OPPOSITE. The line that lies between the angles 30 and 90 would be the ADJACENT while the third side which is the longest would be the HYPOTENUSE.

So if for instance, the opposite line is 10 units, and you are required to calculate the other line, the adjacent, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A REFERENCE ANGLE, you can simply calculate as follows;

TanX = opposite/adjacent (and that becomes)

Tan 30 = 10/adj

Adj = 10/Tan 30

Adj = 10/0.5774

Adj = 17.32

**Note that the use of angle 30 was just for the sake of explanation. Your reference angle whatever it is, would be provided by your examiner**

Examine the graph of the logarithmic function f(x).
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The function f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define an asymptote as an infinite aproximation to given value, such that the value is never actually reached.

For example, in the case of the natural logarithm, it is not defined for x = 0.

Then Ln(x) has an asymptote at x = 0 that tends to negative infinity, (but never reaches it, as again, Ln(x) is not defined for x = 0)

So a vertical asymptote will be a vertical tendency at a given x-value.

In the graph is quite easy to see it, it occurs at x = 3 (the graph goes down infinitely, never actually reaching the value x = 3)

Then:

The function f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x = 3
