Answer:

The answer to your question is 14° and 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

leg 1 = x

leg 2 = x/4

angle 1 = ?

angle 2 = ?

Process

To solve problem use trigonometric functions. We must use the trigonometric function that relates both legs (tangent).

tangent Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

tan Ф = (x/4) / x

-Simplification

tan Ф = x / 4x

tan Ф = 1/4

- Find Ф

Ф = tan⁻¹(1/4) = 14°

- Find the other acute angle

The sum of the internal angles in a triangles equals 180°

Ф + Ф₁ + 90° = 180

-Solve for Ф₁

Ф₁ = 180 - 90 - 14

-Result

Ф₁ = 76°

Suppose y varies directly as x, and y=14 when x=4. What is the value of y when x=9

Katena32 [7]

Given :-

y varies directly as x, and y=14 when x=4.

To Find :-

the value of y when x=9 .

Solution :-

According to Question ,

y = kx ( k is constant )

When y = 14 and x = 4 ,

14 = k(4)
k = 14/4
k = 7/2

When x = 9 ,

y = 7/2*9
y = 63/2
y = 31.5

A ball is thrown in the air from the top of a building. Its height, in meters above ground, as a function of time, in seconds, i

attashe74 [19]

The ball takes approximately a time of 2.041 seconds to reach its maximum height.

<h3>What time does the ball take to reach maximum height?</h3>

The height of the ball as a function of time is modelled by a quadratic equation, the required information can be found by transforming the expression into vertex form:

h = - 4.9 · t² + 20 · t + 12

h = - 4.9 · (t² - 4.082 · t - 2.449)

h + (- 4.9) · (6.615) = - 4.9 · (t² - 4.082 · t + 4.166)

h - 32.414 = - 4.9 · (t - 2.041)²

The ball takes approximately a time of 2.041 seconds to reach its maximum height.
