Answer:

57.2\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this problem

The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"

Let

y ----> the rise of the ramp

x ----> the run of the ramp

tan(5^o)=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=5\ ft

substitute and solve for x

tan(5^o)=\frac{5}{x}

x=\frac{5}{tan(5^o)}

x=57.2\ ft

Which of the following constants can be added to x2 - 3x to form a perfect square trinomial?
jeka57 [31]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>2 whole 1/4</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>When forming a perfect square trinomial you need to "complete the square". </em>

<em>All of the steps to completing the square when solving an equation: </em>

<em>1.  The leading coefficient must be 1.  </em>

<em>2.  Divide b by 2. </em>

<em>3.  Square (b/2) </em>

<em>4.  Add (b/2)^2 to both sides to keep the polynomial balanced. </em>

<em>5.  You can now write the perfect square trinomial and solve. </em>

<em><u> </u></em>

x^2 - 3x  

-3/2

(-3/2)^2 = 9/4 = 2 1/4

Find the slope of the line described by the equation. 4y = 152 − 19x
Softa [21]

Answer: - 19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope , all we need to do is to write the equation in the form y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

That means we need to make y the subject of the formula in the equation.

4y = 152 - 19x

Divide through by 4

y = 152/4 - 19x/4

y = 38 - 19x/4

Therefore the slope is -19/4
