Answer:
x = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, you need to use trigonometry (sin, cosine, tangent).
Sin = opposite/hypotenuse
Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
Tangent = opposite/adjacent
We need to use tangent in this case because 10 is the opposite side from the 57° angle, and x is right next to it, making it adjacent. So, our equation would look like this:
tan (57)° = 10/x
Multiply both sides by x
x (tan (57)°) = 10
Divide both sides by tan (57)°
10 / tan (57)° = 6.49408 = 6.5
Answer:
1. 16 cm (squared)
3. 200 cm (squared)
Step-by-step explanation:
I disagree, the equation is in y=mx+b form. The slope, or m, is 0, so the equation is y=0x+7. That simplifies to y=7.

Answer: -29</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
f(x) = 6x + b
f(5) = 6(5) + b .... replace every x with 5
f(5) = 30 + b
1 = 30 + b ..... replace f(5) with 1, since f(5) = 1 was given.
1-30 = 30 + b - 30 .... subtract 30 from both sides
-29 = b
b = -29
-----------
The function f(x) = 6x+b turns into f(x) = 6x+(-29) which is equivalent to f(x) = 6x-29
Plugging in x = 5 leads to
f(x) = 6x-29
f(5) = 6(5) - 29
f(5) = 30 - 29
f(5) = 1
So we have confirmed the answer.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount of salt in the solution.
At day's end, the concentration of salt in the beaker is
<em>x</em> / (4 L) = 0.08 = 8%
Solve for <em>x</em> to get
<em>x</em> = 0.08 (4 L) = 0.32 L
So at the beginning, the concentration of salt in the beaker was
(0.32 L) / (5 L) = 0.064 = 6.4%
